They're based in China. I haven't used them but I have used Light in the Box, which is more or less the same thing. Ask them to ship snail mail and you should avoid the dreaded customs bill.

For those prices, the stuff is unlikely to last more than one season, but as it all tends to be very on-trend stuff you probably wouldn't be wearing it for longer than that anyway.

Someone will no doubt weigh in with the sweatshop argument, but I'm not getting involved in that one, only to point out that most high-street stuff and even a lot of high-end clothes are also produced in sweatshops.

Anything from outside the EU is subject to customs & charges. You may get lucky and avoid, but it's a risk to be aware of.

Additionally, you need to make sure that they are genuine and reputable sellers. You don't want to hand over your credit cards details to just anybody.
