Quick shippingI hesitated buying from Italist for months because I was afraid of how long it would take to arrive. When I saw a deal on Tory Burch shoes that I couldn't ignore, I took a chance. I'm glad that I did! Shipping was the same as if not faster than when I order from a US store. My shoes were beautiful and I will order again.
