I decided to do a little experiment with DTLR VILLA to see how they operate. I placed an order for a vintage Air Jordan sneakers on their website, which costs $150. The site also has an option to pay through PayPal, so this gave me confidence that they are not running some kind of illegal operation or are backed by criminals.
After about 2 weeks of wait time , the "shoe" arrived (no pun intended) in the mail. I was elated. What it turned out to be, however, was the worst fake shoe that I've ever laid my hands on.
I'm actually really sad now because I know how bad these shoes are...and I still can't believe I paid $150 plus shipping costs for this mess. This is not an original Air Jordan by any means...not even close...in fact, it's closer to a knockoff brand. The shoes are like those made in China and it's honestly the worst quality I've ever seen in my life. I'm filing for a refund and I'll just order this same shoe from another site.
I hope my situation can help anyone avoid making the same mistake that I did by buying shoes from DTLR VILLA. They do not deliver original products and they will scam you. Be smart!
