Would you buy a present off this site?

My niece wants a bag from here for Christmas. According to the website it is a California based company shipping all over the world. Can't find any reviews anywhere but it looks suspicious.

a) would it get here in time for Xmas, and b) you'd have to pay duty, surely?

It looks very much like the stuff on Brandy Melville website (uk one not USA)- check their if you see something similar -

We are a Los Angeles, California based company with multiple fulfillment centers around the country and in Europe and Asia.

They're drop shippers. Nothing wrong with that in itself, but I'd expect a poor quality item from China. Have you searched for what she wants elsewhere? You'll probably find it on AliExpress or Wish, but the shipping time is likely to be too late for Christmas.

you'd have to pay duty, surely?

Depends on where they ship it from, and the value of the item.

Does it give a shipping window for the specific item? I'd be worried it was coming from China and wouldn't make it in time.

Thanks so much everyone, you've confirmed I'm not being overly suspicious. I'm getting my niece a surprise instead.
