Pop up things on FB, like clothes. Are they to be trusted?

I have no idea. Some of the clothing looks nice, a tunic top for £23; but are they all scams? You will never have heard of the brand. Are they all like Shein?

A lot of them are dodgy - not a scam as such but shit quality, terrible sizing, virtually impossible to do returns. Trustpilot can be quite a good guide to whether something is worth bothering with or not.

Mostly not to be trusted but you can check on Trust Pilot

I mean, I would absolutely love this and pay £50 for it!

No. It will turn up like a rag and you'll be down £50 with no way of returning it for your money back. Any reputable company won't need to ambush you with pop up ads, you'll find them.

They're all rubbish made in China. Trustpilot usually reflects this, but read other reviews as well as Trustpilot does get caught out. I don't even bother looking now and just assume it's rubbish.

Ive just been stung by 'Londons Finest', which turned out to be China's finest. The cost of a return, with the risk of it going missing/not being accepted, was too much so I've not bothered. They offered me a 20% refund if I didn't return it, so I went with that in the end.
