For those of you who are in the process of doing group buys or whatever on frugirls and tmall. DON'T. I did my group buy last week and they received all the pairs 2 days ago. However, when after I paid for the shipping order to the U.S. this is the message they replied with.

They did refund me the shipping and I will pay them once they are ready to ship them out here on the 14th of April.
@Blueleopard @Speedie562 @ibanndoe sorry for the delay. If I knew this was coming I wouldn't have done the group buy in the first place!
