Anyone used this site before? They say they ship worldwide, from China. I'm tempted by this:

lightinthebox.com

There's also miniinthebox, which looks identical with slight different prices.

I guess the cost of the shirt won't break the bank, but any feedback and opinions welcome before I commit.

Thank you Becca. So it's a proper site. I might just get myself that shirt then.

Just make sure they've added on customs fees and taxes at point of paying (they should do) - some places aren't doing so still.

Don't you just love Brexit.

What fozzy said.

Also, bought a couple of tops and they come in pretty small. Their S/M/L seems to based on the average sizes of Chinese people.

Aye chaps, there's stuff on the website about this. I figure that if they ship from China then Brexit-related nonsense shouldn't apply.

Comments on sizing noted. I don't cycle but have a couple of cycling tops that I use for running. I go one larger because sizing for cyclists seems to assume they all have pigeon chests.

They continually spam you with emails whether or not you sign up for them and unsubscribe and their ads will follow you around the web forever.

I bought a couple of T-shirts for my boys, and they're OK - probably about the quality you'd expect for the price.

I ordered 2 pairs of trainers from them, both the same type, and same size. When they came, one pair was about an inch shorter than the other. Both labelled up correctly, but were obviously rip offs. Had to return to somewhere in Poland for a refund which took ages. My advice, avoid at all costs, unless you are happy to get knock offs.
