Nightmare of an experience ordering from them. Again, the actual store is worth shopping at, but not their website. I gotta say that this was hands down THE most horrific online transaction I've ever had in my life. They use a third party shipping service called DPD that will ONLY release the parcel to you if you pay taxes and duties on your parcel BEFOREHAND (before the parcel even reaches your shipping location). I received countless emails that looked like scam emails and phone calls asking me to call them to place a telephone payment. After doing research, I discovered that there is a prevalent FRAUD WARNING on DPD scams. Here it is: http://www.dpd.com/lu_en/Home/Shipping/Fraud-warning

So I contacted River Island customer service regarding this issue and the only thing they did was to instruct me to go ahead and pay them. Usually, I pay the delivery man or Canada Post man any duties and taxes when they hand me the parcel. No way am I placing a telephone payment with my credit card info before my parcel even gets delivered to me. Especially with that obvious DPD Fraud Warning in effect.

All I can say is... RED FLAGS MUCH?!?! Never again will I dare order from River Island again that's for sure.
