I've bought from them a number of times... good service, but you get what you pay for. The products aren't the best quality, but they're okay...

As Adishakti said usually good service, but not the best quality. Also they are very slow to answer emails if ever, and international postage is somewhat high.

They told me they charge exactly what the postage is ... wrong! when I received a parcel from them ( a wholesale lot of hipscarves) they had charged me USD$56, the postage on the parcel was USD$42. I wrote and asked why and quoted their email that stated they charged 'exact' postage ... they never answered and I have never shopped with them since.

I believe they are the ebay branch of missbellydance.com, they have some of the same items/photos, and the same telephone number. Our troupe ordered I think 14 sets from missbellydance, they were a great deal. They do deep bulk discounts if anybody is looking for an inexpensive troupe supplier. The quality wasn't great, but for the amazing price we paid, we were not expecting top quality. We did send a couple of pieces back for fringe issues we could not fix, this was just a couple of weeks ago and they are in the process of repairing or replacing them. There were a few other issues that were fixable. We got our order very quickly, exactly when they promised. Our sets did not include harem pants, but we did get chiffon skirts (nobody had any problems with the skirts). The trims are sewn on but just look likely to come off easily, otherwise I thought the skirts looked pretty nice.

I bought sveral items from Bestlist over a year ago. Shipping was okay, not lightning fast but not really slow either. I never had email contact with them except fo the automatic generated mail. I also think that they overcharged on shipping, but since the items were cheap to start with, it didn't bother me.

I thought I already answered this thread. My experiences with bestlist which is missbellydancestore.com were all good.

Our experience was not good. Slow response to emails, products were poor quality, extremely slow shipping and shipping fees were totally unrealistic. We planned to return products that were falling apart but were advised by other unsatisfied customers of their bad experience, we finally ditched that troupe costume concept and scrambled to quickly complete another one. Never again, far too risky. As dancers we invest our sweat, time, devotion and love for the dance only to be jerked around regarding our costume orders.

We now devote at least 2 hours together per month on either making skirts and such or researching items online and group discussion. (We ask that members bring laptops, if possible. Certainly speeds the process.) Costumes falling apart while performing does not present a positive image. We prefer to devote quality time on costuming since it is such an integral part of performance.
