    I have bought once from devil inspired, I had no issues luckily. I spent a lot and got multiple dresses so I guess that they didn’t want to lose out on that money. 🤷🏼‍♀️ glad I got my pieces at least.

    I'm actually quite surprised about Devil Inspired. I've been shopping there since 2019, and I've never had any issues with shipping, payments, late packages, etc. I knew before had about the long waits for shipping, but I actually don't mind waiting for my items to come, makes me appreciate them more than I would if I were to receive them straight away. Of course, that's not going to be for everyone.
    I also only buy from them when they have free shipping available, and for certain pieces I own, they were cheaper on Lolita Wardrobe, but the shipping prices there are crazy! Had to spend like almost a hundred just on shipping alone💀
    Personally, I'd rather pay twenty dollars extra for a dress on Devil Inspired than have to spend it on shipping elsewhere, especially since I usually tend to get three or more items in one order, which makes the shipping more costly...

    • @diamondthestorm

      The quality was good because they simply buy items from Taobao and send it to you. Had you bought from My Lolita Dress or straight from Taobao, for example, you would have gotten the same quality for way less money and shipping time. >.> Big reason to stay away from DevilInspired!

You can buy from them if you choose, but most people are going to warn you of the consequences before you choose to do so.

    Wow I feel lucky I got my 3 packages from DI... while two dresses are too tight on the bust ( and it shouldn't, I should have more room in) I do have a good blouse and dress from them. And I will confirm, the costumer service sucks. Kept trying to say I was the one measuring wrong. I gave up cuz it will fit later anyway and damaged one of the straps of a dress while putting it on ( because the bust measurements were that wrong).
    I'm still half way in the video, but a lolita aquitance recommended Biner ( or Binner?) As a shopping site and was wondering if it was actually good? The prices looked lower than DI's and they also linked to the Taobao sellers.

  • @janenguyen5957
    @janenguyen5957 2 года назад +4

    Hmm u right i got a scam mail from them but they could not do anything because it auto encryption. The true is if we buy a lolita set or a gothic dress it very expensive more than 200. So, when we need a good quality should be more, when I saw the website have sold cheaper maybe could be problem of quality of the dress the others is not too bad I think this shop is 7/10 at least if you can control the scam email or more carefully

    • @diamondthestorm
      @diamondthestorm  2 года назад +4

      The quality will depend on the original brand more than the reseller. DevilInspired is only ordering the dresses from Taobao and then selling the dresses to the customers, not making them.
      So the price is really not worth the quality because the quality is the same as purchasing the same dress on another reseller site. Buying the same dress from GlitzyWonderland and DevilInspired will have the same quality product. You will just probably pay 2X more on DevilInspired.

So don't worry, you just have to look how much the shipping inside china will cost (thats additional costs) the service fees of taobao bhiner aren't as high, I paid like 7€ for a 160€ total so thats okay i think. Yes the International shipping is a bit expensive but you can choose different option and get the cheapest one that will take a little bit longer. Also i live in germany and we have ridiculously high Steer and customs and it still wasn't that much :D when you have lolita friends near you, i recommend buying together and splitting the shipping costs.

      @@김해원-u9m I do not use Bhiner so I can't speak on it. With Spreenow, you do not have to pay immediately as soon as it gets to the warehouse. Once it arrives, you will get a message saying your order as arrived and you will be asked if you're ready for your items to be packed. You can reply "not yet" if you aren't ready to pay.
      I wouldn't order anything if you don't have the money for it, though, because they won't just hold your items for free forever. Also, I'm not sure where you live, but living in the US, if you're just buying a dress by itself, Shipping is usually no more than $20USD. It's only when your box is really heavy that shipping will go up.
