AliExpress.com Alibaba, dress palace Promised prom dress..never sent...then sent veil China Internet

My daughter made the mistake of ordering a prom dress from Dress Palace, a vendor on AliExpress.com (a division of Alibaba--they company Yahoo has invested in.)    It was a deal too good to be true - $122 for a dress.  We spent months trying to get the prom dress, filing complaints through Alibaba.   I spent so much wasted time on this.    All we finally got was a doll-size veil, not a full length, beaded prom dress.    I begged for my money back, but they offered a $30 discount if we would accept a shipment--weeks after the prom--I had no faith in them after all their broken promises and would not accept a shipment of, who knows, another veil???  They have closed the file because after three months I could not come up with more proof that we didn't get the dress.  

Never again will I let my daughter order something from Alibaba or AliExpress.   

Interestingly, she ordered a dress from another (Hong Kong?) firm (not through Alibaba) and though it didn't fit right, they accepted the return and promptly refunded our money.
