A List of Online Boutiques to Stay Far Away From

You’ve probably seen them plastered all over your Facebook feeds by now: advertisements with gorgeous models donning cute, yet ridiculously cheap fashions. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is — the majority of these companies are poorly-managed stores run by people overseas (primarily in China). Best case scenario, these ’boutiques’ will steal images of products from reputable websites and/or designers and manufacture cheap, lookalike clothing and sell them to unsuspecting victims. Worst case scenario, they fail to send products at all, blatantly stealing money from consumers.

I’ve been conned by several of the ’boutiques’ on this list myself, whether it was the heinous quality of the garment, the size discrepancy or the fact that they sent me a completely different product. In the spirit of transparency, I present to you a comprehensive list (that I will continually be updating) of clothing boutiques that you should exercise extreme caution shopping at. Is it possible you might order something from one of these stores and have it look presentable enough to wear? Sure. But the chances of it being high-quality are slim, and when it comes to my hard-earned money, I’d rather not take the chance. I’ve linked to the review pages for all of the stores listed so that you can make an educated decision when deciding to shop there or not.

 

BEWARE OF THESE STORES: 

(Updated: October 6, 2021)

When in doubt, it’s always a good practice to read reviews from people who were not paid to represent a company (watch out for fake ones—lots of companies are now buying 5-star reviews). Negative reviews are usually a good indication of what a company’s products and services are like. Many of these scammers will close up shop when they rack up enough negative reviews and eventually start over with a new name. As a general rule, I avoid stores with any variation of the words ‘rose’, ‘lily’, ‘mod’ or ‘chic’ in the title because many of these online scam ’boutiques’ are run by the same group of people overseas. The following list contains several legitimate boutiques that I have ordered from in the past and have had pleasant experiences with.

 

DO SHOP HERE: 

  • REVOLVE – Pro tip: Head straight to the ‘Sale’ tab.
  • ASOS – Sizes can run small here, so size up if necessary.
  • H&M – My favorite place to find affordable work clothes!
  • Soft Surroundings – This store has similar products to some of the stolen photos found on scam sites. They also offer plus size clothing!
  • Forever 21
  • Nordstrom Rack – Gorgeous designer dresses at low prices!
  • LOFT – Sign up for e-mails and get 30% off your order right now!
  • J.Crew Factory
  • Free People – One of my favorite brands for bohemian dresses! Can be a little pricey, but you are paying for high quality clothes that will last you many years.
  • francesca’s
  • VICI – I finally got around to ordering with them and the clothes are SUPER cute & well made!

Or better yet—shop local! If you prefer ordering clothes from the comfort of your home, you can also check out my article 50 cute dresses under $50 or shop via Poshmark, a platform that offers both new and gently used clothing (sign up with code michele1003 for $10 off your first order). If you’ve found yourself prey to one of these scams, make sure to spread awareness by leaving a review on one of the following trusted sites: SiteJabber or TrustPilot. I would also recommend reporting any scam advertisements to Facebook and/or Amazon when you see them (since they are allllll over these platforms). You can also leave a comment below to share your shopping experiences, since these scam stores tend to pop up faster than I can keep up with. Good luck and shop smart!

(Editor’s Note: There are now over 800 comments on this post! If you’re looking for a specific store name, I recommend using Command + F (on a Mac) to find it. Also, I may not respond to every comment, but know that I read them all. Thanks, y’all!)

    Thanks for this great list of places to avoid and others that deserve our business! It’s so hard to know what you’ll actually get when you shop online, but there are some real treasures to be found, too!

            SHEROP IS A TOTAL SCAM! WAITING FOR 2 MONTHS NOW FOR REFUND OF POOR QUALITY CLOTHES. BUYER BEWARE!

          • Sarah says

            Beachside Bunny is another scam site. Cheap Chinese clothing all the way. Everything eventually came but almost everything was unwearable. Fake comments on site and I tried multiple times to post negative review and it would not publish it. And of course they don’t allow returns only exchanges so I’m out a lot of money. Please add to list people don’t seem to have caught on with this one yet.

            Dear Michele,

            I almost made a purchase with Annie Cloth.
            Someting kept holding me back with purchase.

            I did not finalise payment, I removed what I had in the cart. Now I am harrassed with emails from Annie Cloth, to complete payment! They are a con and a scam, just wanting money. I have never had a online company do this.

            Thanks for your blog, at least we know who to keep away from. For me Annie Cloth is one I will never purchase from.

            Thanks,
            Nella

            I just bought clothes from gagigirl.com

            Not sure if it’s a total scam and I’m getting my money stolen.

            Where they just a bad clothing site? Or did they take your money and you didn’t get products?

          • Connie says

            I purchased an item from Wotoba, got several responses to my inquiry where is it. Now. after 3 months I am aware I will never receive my item. Telephone number no one answers and email is non existent. I was scammed, but buyer beware. I should have read reviews first. BEWARE.

          • Tabitha Williams says

            Missy go.com should be added. I ordered something and haven’t received my item yet. When I went online to try and contact a person the website no longer exists.

          • Shara says

            Have you ever heard of an online clothing shop called absolutelyfashion.co ? I recently shopped there where they had an “everything free, just pay for shipping” sale and I did that but now I’m afraid that it was a scam because the website is down now. And everytime I Google it, I dont see anything about it.

          • Vunni says

            Have you ever ordered from Molylily or charming boo. I order over a month ago and they didn’t send anything. I got a bogus Tracking shipping number from charming boo.

          • Rachel says

            Please add this company to the list Luvrosy.com

            BEFORE YOU CONTINUE TO READ PLEASE PLEASE REPORT THEM TO YOUR BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND TO YOUR BANK OR HOWEVER YOU PAID. DISPUTE THE CHARGES. IVE FILED REPORTS TO BOTH. I DONT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN BUT THE MORE PEOPLE REPORT THEM THE GREATER CHANCE THIS HORRIBLE COMPANY WILL GET WHATS DUE TO THEM AND US OUR MONEY BACK.

            I found that this company is a scam. I ordered two things. They sent me two very different items from what I ordered. I did not receive the items I purchased. I was also charged for shipping and the website stated very clearly I was to receive free shipping for my order. I have sent them four email requests to return these for a refund. Their website says someone will respond within 24 hrs. It has now been 94 hrs. There is no phone number to call. Only an email on their website. Service@luvrosy.com I am so upset and just want my money back and return these items that aren’t even what I ordered. I can’t get any help from the seller and something isn’t right here.

            I am now out of 81 bucks for clothes I didn’t order and the quality of these alone is sooooooooo substandard I wouldn’t buy them at the dollar store

            Also, Maevys Boutique needs to be added!!! Basically stole over $100 from me, and refuse to email me back about my order. They know they did wrong!!

          • Georgia says

            I received most of my order this week. The items couldn’t be made of anything cheaper. The dress I received was made of fabric that resembles the fabric that is on the underside of my sofa. It’s to keep bugs out of furniture. Yuk!

          • Jackie Sandles says

            I also like to thank you for displaying this list. I too was scammed. I ordered a dress for my granddaughters fashion show. I waited and waited for the dress to arrive. I didn’t receive any tracking information. I attempted to contact the merchant, Missuoo.com, and I didn’t make contact with anyone, nor did I get a response. Therefore, I searched the reviews, which said they were a scam. I wish I had searched them before I made the purchase. So please add Missuoo to your list.

            Yes wotoba was a huge mistake for me. I will never order from any of these ads again. I found you when researching Noracora, thank you so much!! Wotoba will send you crappy clothing that looks nothing like the pictures. I was able to finally get some of my money back after much hassle. They make it appear that they are based in the UK but then no it’s China as usual apparently. I think these companies just change their names periodically.

          • L R says

            DHGate should also be added. I had a horrendous time trying to return a dress. China! I was patient with them for over a month and ended up having to dispute it with my bank. My bank gave me my money back but I’m still out $40 for shipping – never again!

        • Connie W says

          PICKMY It’s a scam Chinese outfit all the way. No product, no way to contact, no response. I lost my money. Don’t lose yours!

          BTW: I ordered thru a slick looking ad on Instagram. I’ve noticed other Chinese companies there w similar great-looking ads. I believe Pickmy just morphs into another name.

          Always do your homework. Don’t order ANYTHING from China!!!

            Do not order from Boho Joy. This company has an F rating on the BBB website. They will not respond to your emails. I had to file a claim. I did eventually get my money back because I filed a dispute at my bank.

          Do not buy at Shoebefly, it’s unreliable! I bought 2 dresses and after a month, when I received them I realized that I had been deceived. The quality and the model did not look like the photos on the site. I email and they just do not respond. Pay attention before you shop online!

          Many Many Thanks!!!! ✨🙏✨

          I had bought a blouse online a couple of years ago – that was from China – without realizing it; and it took a month to get here!!!!
          – and came in a ridiculously small version of that size !

          🌷When I saw these blouses, I was interested but had an intuition that they might be in the category that you describe here.

          So after looking at some of them I asked online where they came from, where they were made, and your page came up.

          THANK YOU VERY MUCH 😍 for this public service that you have provided as a service, for the rest of us!

          Yes, I want to thank you as well for this article. Can you please add Nikkigal to the list? It took two emails to remind them of my order and received articles of clothing that looked nothing like the pictures, two months later!Terrible looking clothing. And now for the return process are asking me to take photos and taking more time responding probably to go over that 30 day window they give you to return. It looks like I am responsible for shipping as well according to their policy. Very poorly run business. Thank you again for your research on these companies, Francesca

            Think this may be associated with ModFancy. I ordered to be told all items were back ordered and now they won’t refund my money or even answer my emails. Trying to get PayPal to get money back but it doesn’t look good.

          zon so you have to go by their delivery. I always pay with Pay Pal when ordering online, that way they will follow up on it.

            I filed a dispute with Paypal about an order that was not delivered and I cannot get the seller to respond to me at all. I would have thought that Paypal would be contacting seller for proof of delivery, or something, but they have denied my claim. This was a FB Group that I felt was trustworthy called Destash Divas run by Caitlin Stewart. She had quite a list of people ordering these sandals, so I guess she hurried and billed everyone then quickly deleted all traces of the post (wish I had screenshot it so I could contact some of the other buyers). I have seen pictures of these cute shoes all over FB, so I believe she used this picture and never had or intended to ship them.

            Please don’t count on it -PayPal are absolute crap !
            I bought three item’s from ORDERPLUS INT LTD and they have no reachable phone number , can’t speak to a HUMAN BEING , they are dragging their heels , I can’t access messages that have to be answered within a given time frame , or they will close your case . I will be cancelling my PayPal account as soon as this dispute gets sorted – or not!!!

        Please add ‘WhatsMode’ to the list. I was conned/scammed by them last Christmas. They have beautiful pictures of the supposed clothes they sell, but what I received was over very poor quality and it did not match the picture at all. Ultimately, I disputed the charge with my cc company and they refunded me the amount I was charged. But it was 5-6 stressful months of a headache trying to resolve it. Don’t waste your time.

        Also, MaxDealShop- the exact thing happened, but it wasn’t with clothes. It was with a lab item meant to healp keep snow/ice off your car’s windshield. It was very low quality and it didn’t match the picture at all.

        Reply

        • Fran Percy says

          Maxdealshop does not allow for emptying the basket if you get the quantity wrong: in that case you have to redo the order, and they subsequently send you repetitive emails to make you buy the discarded basket even though you have already ordered the same item. Black list – there are enough sites out there to get the same items and we don’t need that sort of harrassment.

          Maxdealshop ne permet pas de supprimer le contenu d’un panier. Si on se trompe de quantité il faut recommencer la commande, et ils vous envoient subséquemment des emails à répétition pour vous faire acheter le contenu du panier délaissé malgré la commande passée. Liste noire – il y a suffisamment d’autres sites d’achat pour se passer de celui-là.

          And thanks Michele for your very very useful page. Best regards 🙂

        I could not find where to leave a comment. It’s probably at the end of the comment list, which is very long! I ordered off of the internet last week (for the first time ever) from kutee boutique. It was for my middle daughter’s only Christmas present! I have three girls and I’m a single mom. The struggle is real! Now I’m freaking that I’ve gotten scammed! The second thing I ordered (my oldest daughters only present) was delivered to. Above All Designs is awesome! Email confirmation, tracking, the whole 9. I haven’t heard a thing from kutee. I’ve tried to contact support, but it keeps coming back as “unavailable to send”. There’s a photo of a store on their site but the address is a web design. The ip server is overseas although they’re claiming to be from MO or MI. It said the store is only worth $480 and averages $2 a day. They took the $50 off my card and I can’t get it back! I told my girls to pick one thing out that they wanted for Christmas. My 11 y.o. is huge into anime. All she wants is the “5 lions” voltron hoodie. Now I have a gut feeling that she will have nothing but a “I’m sorry baby but mommy got scammed” present this year. This is why I’ve always shopped local. Please let me know if you’ve heard of them, or add them to your list so no one will feel like the crappiest parent ever on Christmas. I’m just heartbroken because I know how she’s going to feel when her sisters get their gift. I don’t get paid until the day after but maybe I can make it up to her then.

But I’m starting to doubt it, thanks to your advice. So thank you again for making this. You are so awesome!

        I made the mistake of purchasing 5 shirts from Wotoba. One shirt arrived, not looking anything like the advertised picture. The color was way off. Size was incorrect also. About 2 weeks later three more shirts arrived. These were not even an attempt to copy what was advertised. They were random sizes with colors, styles, and prints that I never ordered. These were supposed to be embroidered, but were not. The last shirt I ordered never arrived.

        add https://www.exactlylove.com/ I have dozens of email messages complaining and their lame response. Bottom line, the product took 100 days to receive, the quality was atrocious, and the refund request is ignored. After a claim with Paypal expired (because they responded to me and I thought we could resolve it) I have no recourse. Once a claim closes with Paypal they will not re-open it. I’m furious!! These companies should not be allowed to do business and the consumer needs representation. I’m out $90.63

        There is a website called Cuponis on Facebook. I thought I’ll try the site just to come to find out it was a scam company in China. They kept sending me emails for the yoga pants I shied away for weeks from getting until they were at a price I thought was worth it. Well they kept sending me emails of a cheaper price ( hello RedFlag) although I didn’t see it at the time. Anyways It took about a month and a half to get my “Yoga Pants” and I was charged an international fee on my bank statement, which peaked my interest because I thought this was a company in the US. I finally received the yoga pants and they looked like a 5 year old who just started sewing made them along with the fact that they were 100 percent polyester. And apparently in China a women’s xl USA is a size small in China. My thoughts were “WOW” all around but I’d like to see anyone do “yoga” in a pair of polyester pants…. The actual company that charged my debit card was called StarLink. I decided to do some digging and found out that the company was not to be found accept for on Facebook and there was no way to contact this company. The only thing I could find was a website that sold company names. I ended up contacting my bank and filed a report and the advise they gave me was that once a day they get a call like mine. And seeings I only had the Facebook company’s name Cuponis and nothing else they chalked it up to being a scam company and warned me about ordering from sites. They refunded the full amount and told me that even if I could get a hold of the company, it would cost me more then my purchase to send back etc. I thank you for this information because yet again I was ready to order from the company Annie Cloth. I really love the clothing they were advertising down to the shoes all around earthy clothes. I decided to take a look to make sure this company was reputable and found your site that lists scam companies. You saved me a mess of issues because I’m sure my bank wouldn’t have been so forgiving of me the second time around. However I am bummed because I wish I could actually order a lot of what they were trying to sell. Does this company steel photos from an actual reputable site that I can be safe buying from? Also if you can list Cuponis aka StarLink to your set of scam websites and warn others please do so and save them the trouble. I wish Facebook could weed some of the fraud companies as well.

        I too would give zero stars if possible. I wanted to return an unworn item and they told me the address to mail back to (at my cost). I did just that and now after weeks of proving my item was returned to them via the tracking number showing delivery, they are acting like they didn’t receive my pants back and will not refund the money. I tried to have PayPal handle for me and Paypal denied me 2x even with proof. I sent screen shots of emails from Spelesy, a screen shot of me sending the tracking number and a screenshot of USPS showing deliver. I will ALSO be canceling my account with PayPal as they are allowing them to behave in this scamming manner. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! LISTEN TO US!

          Definitely a fraudulent company! They want me to return an item that they sent that does not even remotely look close to what I ordered, and I won’t do it because I won’t get my money back. They are scammers.
          Reported them to the BBB, and will be charging back the purchase on my credit card.
          So sorry this happened to you.

After multiple attempts to cancel an order they pushed rush delivery and when received the quality of the product was poor and did not look like the photo. When attempted to return they ignored my messages and push to keep it give it someone else . They said they would give me a 3.00 refund which I’m still waiting for after 2 months.

        Hello! Can you please add Beqino.com to your list? I recently spent $500 on a site that had a lot of great ratings on their clothes. I realize how dumb that choice was now. Most of the items they sell are not like the pictures. They sent a dress that had buttons falling apart! I realize now that most of the reviews are fake, because my account seems to be the only verified one with a rating.

          I also had a bad experience with Uoozee – the clothing size chart is terribly wrong, the fabric is thin and cheap – and when I emailed to ask about exchanging for a different size, I got the same email (Opening with “Dear Customer:”) that I have I read about, no refund, just wanting to know what size I want and I can send them more money to get it. No packing list came with the order, no paperwork of any kind. The clothes look lovely online – and are made to appear very large and roomy – the “XL” I ordered (based on their chart of 42″ across the chest) MIGHT fit my 15 yr old granddaughter, though the sleeves seem like they are made for a very thin 10-yr-old. Luckily, I ordered a necklace as well, and that was as photographed. But the money spent on the dress will just have to be a write-off for me, as I am not about to waste my time e-mailing back and forth.

      I also got a message from them and I joined their ambassador team. They said they would give you your own code and you’d get commissions from that, however the code doesn’t work, probably on purpose too. The only code that works is the 50% off one.

        I was also asked to be an ambassador and I actually bought something from them. I ordered the cheapest thing they had ($35) which is still way overpriced. On the model in the pictures the shirt looked a little baggy. That was okay with me because I hate form fitting clothes anyway and proceeded to buy a L because I like over-sized t-shirts. I ordered back in November and didn’t receive it until January! Frankly, I had forgotten about it. When I tried it on, it was super tight and fit more like a small than a large, not to mention there were no tags on it to show if they had sent the wrong size. I can’t even get my money back because they don’t do refunds, only returns for store credit. I wouldn’t shop there if they were the last store on earth, tbh.

I live in Florida, so I loved the bright colors, cute dresses for $19 . I went to various sites to see if I could get a better bargain. Fortunately, I made a list of every site I went to. It did not occur to me, that I was seeing scams. After I had about $120 Dollars worth of Dresses I was going to buy, it occurred to me that I did not see Reviews. So, I went to Google and started looking. Imagine my Shock. The Stores I planned to purchase from had the worst reviews and are on your list . I had almost died, been in Hospital and spent hours looking at these Despicable Sites. I almost burst into tears. Fortunately, because of Wonderful People like you. I did not get scammed. Since I have nothing better to do. I am going to research all these sites and put them on Facebook. One place I did buy from was Alibaba or Aliexpress about 8 years ago. I never received anything.

I had needed it for a trip, and because it arrived (from China) after the trip was complete, I sought a refund and returned the item (to England – no less). After many impolite responses from the company, I disputed the charge with the credit card company. Carine contended that the item never arrived at its warehouse. Yikes! Beware of Carine. And thank you for this site.

      I purchased a bag from them, only to find out they are using another shops photos.
      Shortly after placing my order, I sent an email asking for it to be canceled and for a refund. They said they would do it, but it would take 2-3 day to start the refund… I didn’t understand this as I paid through PayPal, so it’s literally a simple click. But 3 days later, still no refund. It has now been 9 days and they won’t even respond to my emails.
      Their website says they ship within 48 hours with free shipping but I was charged for shipping, and once you place your order, it say it will take up to 4 days before it is shipped. I haven’t even received a shipping conformation email if they’re not going to refund me. So I have now contacted PayPal and opened a case to get my money back.

The coat wasn’t even the same item that was in the photos, the quality was horrible and I don’t think it would have shed a drop of rain. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that I was responsible for shipment back to the UK and that was 20 bucks. Anyway, almost five months later and they still haven’t credited my account. I have tracking information and proof that the item was returned to them and just today they claim they will credit my credit card. We will see.

        I placed an order with them 2 days ago, and I am now cancelling it via email and refuting the charge for them being fraudulent with my cc. I ordered a sweater and they have stolen the image of a hand knit sweater you can see on Pinterest. In fact they have several of those images as well as other similar store fronts having that one and a slew more. They are stealing hand knit pattern designer images and those who have knit these sweaters themselves. One big scam.

      Thanks for an excellent article. I was just trying to find information on “Chicsellers”, another new one to be avoided I think! So frustrating to see a nice clothing item and not be able to find the original seller though. The only way I can think of is to Google search the image but then it’s virtually impossible to tell if the source is legitimate. For example, looking for a particular top and the same image is on a number of different websites. Argh! Anyway, good list. Thank you!

          I think they’re fake. Looking closely at some of the photos, such as a beautiful embroidered coat (which in the picture looks like felted/boiled wool but they claim is cotton–a cotton coat?), I noticed the embroidery is not real, it is flowers PhotoShopped onto the coat photo. Very cute stuff but I don’t think it’s real and the website is only two months old. Also I can’t find any customer reviews.

        I ordered 6 items from Zolucky and only 2 fit ok. The rest were oversized. All items were cheap fabric and poorly made. There is no phone number anywhere on their website and all communication was via email. Any items I wanted to return had to be sent to China (really??!). I finally negotiated another 25% off all the items and had to alter them myself. There were no reviews on their website either which I should have known that there’s a red flag. Stay clear of Zolucky, their products are no where near the pictures!

      Thank you for the list of on-line shopping places to avoid. I had an unfortunate experience recently where I ordered a sweater from popzoza. I was disappointed when I unwrapped the item I purchased. It was nothing like what the model was wearing, The fabric was cheap, it was poorly stitched, the sizing was not proportionate (short sleeves and long torso), and there were no tags on the sweater. I could tell that the package was from China because the return address had a label covered over a Chinese address. Fortunately, my loss was only $33.94. I didn’t see popzoza on your list, but I did note popzora. Thank you for allowing me to address my disappointment. I tried to express it to popzoza on Facebook but the negative comments were deleted.

      Please include Zolucky in the DON’Ts!! HORRIBLE! I was sucked in via Facebook seeing one cute top and then looking at all their stuff, I added two more to my cart and paid. That was January 3rd. I received two of the three day before yesterday, January 22nd.

      Not only was the fit WAAAAAY off, I had intentionally ordered three sizes UP knowing how China is! UGH! Anyway, I now see what they did for their online catalog…they have the models wearing much longer and better designed tops but then they sell us all the “cut down” versions! One, that was supposed to have an 11.8″ sleeve has next to NO sleeve! I wish I could post pictures of this one particular one here and you would be shocked! It was also supposed to be linen! It’s definitely not linen! It’s some stiff cheap cotton type fabric. I doubt it would hold up through a wash cycle, to be honest. I paid nearly $60 for these three tops that look like they may have been from a dollar store. :/

      Anyway….BEWARE “ZOLUCKY”! There’s nothing lucky about shopping at Zolucky!

      Please consider adding sayshoponline to this list of sites to stay away from. I recently purchased a dress for a wedding two months in advance. This site charged my card, but did not provided any tracking information. I tried multiple times to contact them for the info, and they blamed the shipping company. I still have not received my item, the wedding has already passed, and the shop is unwilling to issue a refund. Don’t waste your money or time shopping on this site. CupShe on the other hand, had the same exact item, shipped it within a week, and when it didn’t fit, they immediately provided return instructions.

      I have three more companies to add to your invaluable list: NINACLOAK, UPUSTYLE, and ZOLUCKY. They just keep on coming. About a year ago I clicked on one pop-up ad for one of these scam clothing brands – who could resist the adorable dress they pictured? But just before I clicked to buy it, I looked up the return policy, something I always do. Returns must be made within two weeks of the date in which the product was sent! Hmmm. A little odd. And then the clincher: Returns must be sent to China! That did it. I didn’t order the adorable dress but I did go looking to see if the company was a scam – and I found this blog. Thank you! Ever since, when these ads pop up – and in the last week they’ve popped up all the time (on the Boston Globe site, LLBean, AdAll book seller, and the Weather Channel) – I google “Is ———- a scam?” and the answer is always YES! “A 1% trust rating!” “A 2% trust rating!” Please, research/look up/find/out before you give anyone your credit card. And once again, thank you to this blog for keeping a list that often pops up when I google one of these suspicious companies.

          Yes, Casspy is a terrible and potentially an illegitimate “company”. I ordered a couple of pieces on April 30th and haven’t heard a peep except that my order has been shipped by USPS and another delivery service in China? So which is it? When I go to track, I get nothing – useless information. After several attempts to follow up on my order, both via email and on their “Contact Us” page, and getting no response, I filed a dispute with my credit card company. I would advise doing the same thing if you haven’t already done do.

      Vencano is the WORST. I saw their advertising on IG and ordered a little over $100 worth of clothing. Three weeks go by and NOTHING. I call them and none of the numbers work. I then email and it directs to a completely different company. After emailing both of these they submit a “ticket” and then you hear nothing. I notified my bank and we are reporting them as fraudulent. STAY AWAY. I have ordered from Shein and RomWe and both are great!

      There are a few more to steer clear of as they are scam artists and thieves just as bad if not worse and are being plastered all over Facebook and use multiple names for their company and unless u really look, it’s not as apparent that they are all the same company using different names as well as have a completely different company that charges u. Beware of JG dress, Talacot and a few more that are posting all over Facebook and have taken advantage of many people during this pandemic
      I got lucky that I was able to get my money back from Talacot but then I ordered 2 separate orders from JG dress and did research on this company only to read that there were tons of women that had ordered from this company and have yet to receive their orders after 2 months. I tried to find a contact number but all they had was an email. I sent several email requesting to hear back re my money and orders and stating that they are fraudulent and scam artists and if I did not hear back at once I was going to contact my bank and report them as fraud and scam artists as well as sent them an email that I would post all over social media to beware of them and contact the FBI cyber division. I finally heard back and I received my 2 orders however i have been trying to contact them bc the stuff was nothing like what the pictured showed and were definitely not what I ordered. I have sent at least 10 emails but have yet to hear back anything as of yet so I m going to post stuff on social media and send the company copies of what I post and let them know I am going to contact my bank that they are fraud- perhaps that will result in my finally hearing back

      Thank you so much for this wonderful list of wear to buy and where to avoid!!! I bought a dress advertised on Boho a while ago. It was nothing like the photo advertised and the material was awful and an appalling misfit! I asked to send it back but all the seller wanted was a good review, & first offered to give me a partial refund. She then went on to say that if I gave her a better review for the dress than I eventually submitted she would refund all my money!!! I just ignored her from then on and she wasn’t happy!!!

      I have had the very occasional items from Wish which I actually was lucky with but always concerned as to whether they would fit as their sizes are different to ours. My husband finds them ok and has bought a lot from them. Maybe he had just been lucky.

        Hi there!

        I also made a purchase from Jolly-Vintage recently and my dress wasn’t even the color they showed in the pictures on their website. Plus I ordered a XS and it was still way too big for me. And it did indeed look very cheap for the price I paid!

        First thing I did is to contact customer service to see if I could get a refund. They sent me a really sketchy address that I can’t find anywhere on map (I don’t think that’s normal).

        Then I proceeded to write a comment on their Instagram page telling people about my experience, which they apparently didn’t appreciate because they deleted my comment and blocked me. So then, the customer service started ranting about how my review was fake, that I didn’t “check the sizechart carefully before placing my order” but that they accepted negative reviews anyways.

        I think that the thing they said that made laugh the most was: “You placed the fake review in the website without any responsibility, and hide behind your PC/Mobile phone, great work!” I mean… how could they have been more professional?

        Now I really don’t want to send back the dress because I’m scared that I won’t get a refund anyway.,,

        I’d like to hear more about them from others as well! I don’t think there’s enough reviews of them, but now I know why I guess.

The material they were made out of was like the type of fabric that Halloween costumes are made from, and I’m not kidding. I’ve never ever seen any item of clothing made from the so-called fabric that these items were made from. Rather than ever having to deal with this company again, I threw the items into the trash.

They wanted to give me a $10 store credit for my $140 order. Yeah right!

The clothing was so poor and and everything was too small. One of the sweaters had a stain on it and the sleeves were sewn on inside out. Requested to return all items come to find out shipping everything back to CHINA costed more than my entire order. There was a USA return address on one of the packages and I said I will return my items there and that didn’t help at all. The offered 15% back at first if I keep everything. I kept complaining that that so insane, They insisted that the money could be used to adjust my garments that were already too small!!! They offered 20% and then 30% compensation if I kept the order. I finally settled for that as I was getting no where with them. I have yet to see that a credit has been applied to my credit card. So So So frustrating!!! j

      Please add Clothestylish aka Noracora. The pants were so inferior couldn’t wear, notes back back and forth, they wanted to give me $10.00 gift cert instead of refund. Fought fir months til they finally refunded most of purchase price. They said too expensive to return?
      Found out they my bank they are also using, Noracora a great hint telling us it’s not a reputable company.
      For $39.98 it took so much time to resolve, but it was the principle. Hope no one else uses them.

      A new one that should be included on your list is True Feat. They sell leggings and sportswear for exercising. Their return/refund policy is nonexistent. They owe me $112 for two pair of leggings that I returned unworn and in original package.

      Awesome list. Please add charm luster to list. They do not take returns. Offered me $4.00 for $28.00 shirt. Said it wasn’t defective. Shirt runs 2 sizes smaller than marked, but not defective? They said I should take the partial refund and donate shirt. WHAT A SCAM. Do not buy from any of their mirror companies offering cute 3D looking cat shirt and lined sweats.

      I personally think we need to send a stinging letter to Facebook for allowing false advertising from Chinese fake web sites. They are contributing to the problem. I’m done buying ANYTHING that is Made in China! Since they are so savvy with scams sites, they need to be more diligent with advertisers.

      Thank you so much for this blog, wish I had seen it at the beginning of the pandemic! I bought from Annie Cloth and Boho Beach Hut and the clothing was NOTHING like the photos. They were cheaply made and color of the fabric looked old and faded.
      When I tried to return all of the clothing, the companies never responded (after dozens of emails) until I finally complained to PayPal.

      I’m glad you put this company on this list: Boho Beach Hut-
      You wouldn’t believe what they did to me and are still doing 5 months later!
      ZERO STARS! THIS COMPANY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY! They make it so that they look like they are an American company but its CHINA! And since its from China i expect their crap to be cheap – just like the quality it is. Crap and Cheap! But its not cheap. The quality of the times is absolute junk! Looks nothing like the pictures. TOTALLY MISLEADING! They take 3 months to get you something, they wont allow you to cancel your order once you find out this is china crap. STRAIGHT UP REFUSE TO CANCEL YOUR ORDER! Items sent back. Then they will refuse to refund you! I have been arguing with them for 5 months! LYING THIEVING SHADY STEALING CRAP COMPANY! Do yourself a favor and order from somewhere else! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

      I got used bye zulucky for several hundred dollars. I trusted what they showed was what they sold. When I got the “items” they were so bad and the sizes were all wrong. You can’t send them back because they need to go to China and that costs three times the amount of the item, thus not worth it.

      So I kept all my cc bills outlining what they charged me, all receipts from them including the list with the picture of the items.

      Then I turned them in to the federal trade commission. I suggest that everyone who has been abused bye fake boutiques do this. Not much has happened but I have a feeling that once it becomes a trend they may just put standards on what those sites are allowed to show and say.

      What ever happened to truth in advertising huh?

      Thank you for the list of real sites. I would gladly spend more to have the real thing instead of kite material instead of cotton.

      Thank you.

      I’ve checked out the stores you say are safe and good to buy from, and the clothes are ugly. They don’t look anything like the cool looking clothes on the bogus sites you say not to buy from. What sites are they getting these great looking clothes from? I’m so tired of the ugly clothes they they sell here at department stores etc. In the past, I always shopped at boutiques that had some really cool stuff. But now I need to shop on line. If they are taking the pictures of the clothes they advertise from expensive genuine American stores, what stores are they? Definitely not the ones you’ve listed to trust. What gives?

      Would recommend adding Trendy and Unique to that list! Perhaps not a scam, but in the realm of online shopping, returns should be possible. And that was not my experience! It is a Chinese-based company that offers no shipping label, making it very impractical to personally ship overseas.

        Here is one complaint:

        I ordered a dress for about $50 online with the company “Luvestyle” on the 5th of April. I was told that it would be about 10 days for my package to arrive. It was the 9th of April when I started emailing the company because I had not received any further shipping information. I was given a link from a tracking site I did not recognize, and a tracking number that was different from the initial one. I clicked on the link anyway and checked the tracking number, it said that it was in California on the 9th of April. I gave it a few days and checked the link again and I was still in California since the 9th of April.

        I emailed the company and we had emailed each other back-and-forth multiple times. They told me that they do not have any extra shipping information and that they could not give me an estimated arrival date and that they would be in contact with the shipping company. A few more days passed and still no information or shipping update. I noticed in the email, their English was a little off, so I did some digging on the website. According to some pages on Google they have been known to do this in the past, but their website was still open and I did not do this research before purchasing, which was my mistake, but their website should not be up. I tried to log into my account on the website today on Friday April 24th and it says that my email address is invalid as if my profile was deleted even though the correct email address was given in the sign in box. I have requested a refund but I feel like I will never hear from them.

I took to their photos and videos and commented to others about what had happened. Saw a ton of messages saying the same. Came back a few hours later to see ALL of our comments deleted and I was BLOCKED from commenting or messaging their Facebook! They also run two other businesses with the same address and telephone number on the BBB website that have 16 complaints against them between TWO of the THREE.

      Hi,
      DressLily was actually one of the first stores on this list I placed an order at and had a negative experience with. There was zero communication in regards to shipping and tracking, the clothes took 3+ weeks to arrive, and when I finally got them, they were extremely low-quality and were big enough to fit a toddler, despite me following the size charts. While it’s possible they’ve improved their quality and customer service in the two years since I ordered, I stand by my original opinion.

    I agree, but if you look at some of when the top designer brands like Free People and clothing companies like LuLu’s, most of their items are made in China. The difference is, is who they are getting the clothes manufactured from and it is usually higher quality material and more expensive for the buyer which is why it is more expensive for the customer. I myself have a boutique and I have ordered some stuff and the quality was horrible! I didn’t order from China but I ordered from distributors. Luckily I live in LA and can go to the stores and feel the quality before buying in large amounts.

      I have to say, this made me laugh. I purchased clothing for a major Canadian retailer for quite a number of years. One of our mandates was to purchase from Canadian manufacturers, but in fact that was almost impossible, as there are very few…so, of course, the remainder went to China. I purchased from distributors also~and many of our things were “made-to-order” ie, I specified fabrics, colours, and exact sizing. I was always almost shocked if the goods came back to my specifications!…and sometimes, those goods were shipped direct to stores. I learned very quickly to visit several of the stores in the city where our head office was located, to see what was actually shipped to the stores, rather than what the sample made for me looked like. In many cases, they were nothing alike. Obviously, when that happened, that was the last order to that distributor~but in the meantime, we experienced the same issues you are all having. It’s a toughie!!

I ordered 6 items and was charged $18 for shipping but after I got no confirmation email I did a little more research and found this hidden on their page “Several items may be added to cart upon checkout. At which time, one item will be selected at random and shipped. Each customer will only receive one item that was selected.”
    Do you know of any way to report these scam companies and try to get money refunded? Thank you!!

      Hi Elisabeth,
      Thanks for sharing your experience! Since this particular store appears to be hosted by Shopify, I would recommend reaching out to them to see if you might be able to get your money back and report the boutique for their shady business practices.

    Last week I saw an ad in Facebook for Goyard bags sold by The LA Boutique; website: https://boutiqueluxla.com/. Searched online; could not find any reviews; read their website several times; all looked good and placed my order. I immediately received a confirmation email from theparisboutiqueonline.com and a day later another email “item has been shipped” with a tracking number from CHINA! I believe I’ve been scammed! Why is Facebook allowing advertisements from scam merchants!?!

    Reply

    • T. says

      My guess? Facebook is allowing this because they are scraping in the ad money from about 20 scam sites all owned by the same people. The parent company that owns these sites is in China and is worth hundreds of millions. They are invested in the market and sell shares for their parent company ( removed a few degrees from these contracted scam clothing sites). It’s a very big fraud.

    Stay away from writerdiaries.com! They claim to sell designer clothes at lower (not cheap!) prices. I ordered a Pucci bikini and after several weeks received a completely different item, wrong color, size, model, and no tag – not just designer, but without any tag. I wanted to return it and asked for my money back and here’s what I received:
    “Hello,
    As a sincere supplier, we kindly suggest you keep the goods (you received) and don’t send them back. Due to returning the items will cost you so much,including the shipping fee,high tariff and other fees. “

    Thank you for putting this together. Add 2sbest and ChicBoho. I’ve been trying to warn people. I was scammed myself. The sites have blocked me from commenting to warn people. The parent company that owns these is worth hundreds of millions. clearly FB and sites that run their ads are also capitalizing on their ads, even when they get reports of fraud or scams. A class action lawsuit would be a good means of remuneration, I’ve seen hundreds if not thousands of the same issues reported

    I think its great that you made this to help others not to be scammed. I might want to add that the although the idea was great i think in the list of boutiques that are reliable i think it qould be great to add other stores that actually carry clothing similiar to what is sold on the other websites so it is like a nicer alternatives and not just a list your personal favorites. I do know the other websites have more variety but i think it could be helpful to find similiar items in the websites listed.

    I don’t know if you have since looked at Hello Cloth, but I stupidly fell for their rediculously low prices, ignoring a “hello” from from my typically suspicious mind. Anyway I got burned. It took over a month to receive the merchandise which was obviously an attempt at copying the catalog item from another shop. One dress I received was made from cheap material and it looked like a child’s dress. It was a size “large”. One garment had short instead of long sleeves and was yellow instead of white. And there is a dress that has never arrived. They said it was a “hot” seller. Indeed. Hope this helps!

    There’s several pictures of very pretty white skinned Asian women heavily advertised on Pinterest about bras. The bras look very pretty on them, some lacy and they only sell for 12-15 dollars apiece. I ordered large because i’m 36C, they came 2 weeks later from California( originally from China). They were ridiculously sized. The circumference was ok, size 36 with probably A cup. I could never wear them. I could not reach anyone. Buyers beware!!!

    I started getting bunches of ads from something called Berrylook, which, on their website, had photos of tons of clothing, shoes and accessories at fairly crazy-inexpensive prices.
    Fortunately, all I wasted was too much time, over a couple of days, choosing a number of items, filling a cart, and even making an account with them (also fortunately, not with credit card info). The photos were so pretty (if some of the styles rather over-the-top). Of course, I did notice that all the “customer reviews” on their site had five out of five stars, which seemed unlikely, but I even allowed my concerns about quality to be allayed by some of the phrases in those reviews, along the lines of “I was concerned about quality, at these low prices, but the fabric felt wonderful, and the fit was perfect! I get so many compliments on this dress!” Thank goodness I researched them online a bit, before actually spending or ordering anything. Can’t believe it didn’t occur to me that it’s awfully easy to put up pretty pictures and fake reviews.

    Since I started rejecting all their ads, and blocked them from my email, other such organizations have been coming up, such as Rotita, which is what led me here. I feel so silly to have been taken in, though thankful that I checked it out before actually spending. Thanks for this list, and for getting the word out.

Please please please add Ivy Wild Boutique (or Ivywild boutique) to this list—I presume someone already commented that because I got here by searching for a place to leave them a bad review but was confused to not see them on your list above. I’ve ordered from Yoins before and was so happy to see them on your list because they are a scam site and total garbage. I vowed upon receiving their totally fake crap last year to do better research and never ever order from places selling from China again. Well Ivy Wild Boutique got me good last week. Their photos are so cute and they have a “mailing address” in Colorado…I wasn’t paying close attention…Placed and order and after over a week of not receiving anything thought hm that’s weird and went to track the package….saw it barely had shipped over a week later…from CHINA! I was so disappointed. The two bracelets I got are actually cute but they’re chinsey and on those stretchy strings so we’ll see how quickly they break… the earrings I bought are really the bad ones. They are that knockoff, CHINSEY Chinese made version of a photo that is NOT theirs that they’ve displayed online. Terribly disappointed STAY FAR AWAY FROM IVYWILD BOUTIQUE ladies!!!

      I saw this on an Instagram ad and saw the CO address too thinking that the products were shipping from there as well. I used PayPal because I was unsure about using my cc info directly. I went back and read their FAQs and it did detail their policies regarding shipping. Had I known they were shipping from outside the US, I probably wouldn’t have ordered anything. I read on the FAQs that you can’t cancel an order unless it is within one hour of purchase. It didn’t sound like their refund policy was too great, etc. Probably not the best in terms of store policies. I’m hoping the products I ordered are at least comparable to the items as pictured. I’ll post updates.

    Please add DressWe to the list. They top the list on scammers! It took me 3 months of fighting with PayPal to get my money back. Good thing I only communicated by email and I kept over 20 emails from them. I returned a dress to a California address they provided and they told PayPal I was instructed to send it back to China. They’d already acknowledged receipt of the dress in an email plus I had it sent back registered! I paid $82 for the dress and they offered me $20 back. That didn’t happen either. They will try and force you to close the open dispute with PayPal with a promised to return your money when it is closed. Don’t ever close a dispute until your money is refunded. Lastly, the fight is real with PayPal too. They would denie my claim and I’d call and bless them out and reopen it. I bet I talked to at least 10 people before it was resolved. They don’t read they documentation until you press them.

    I just received 5 items from them that I ordered. and was billed for 2months ago. When they arrived I decided I might as well shredded a $100.00 bill. Awful quality and they look nothing like pictures. Jacket looked like it was my first sewing project in 7th grade home economics. It even had a hole in middle of fabric. Sleeves were short. The sweater would have fit a toddler and another knitting project by a first timer. 2 items same size were huge. They all went into the garbage as I would have been embarrassed to donate to the Good Will.
    Lesson learned.

        I ordered a pair of boots and beforehand read the return policy, which simply said you needed to get a return authorization. I waited two months for the boots to arrive. I didn’t like them so initiated a return and was told that I would need to ship the boots to China and likely pay customs. The agent suggested that instead of returning the boots, I could accept a $5 cash refund. Nothing in the policies said that the boots would have to be returned to China and everything about the website gave the appearance it was a US company. I did some research and found 100s of complaints about the company. It is noteworthy that on the customs form on the shipment to me, the boots were valued at $4.00.

    You should add Boho-Factory to the list. They send me very poor quality dress with stain on it and I can’t get refund whatsoever from them. It has been more than a month. Its scam

      I also ordered from them after they offered me a brand rep position. Did u attempt getting your money back from an order? What has your experience been like with them?

    ***Ariel Avenue website***. Advertising on Facebook at the minute. I am fuming with myself. Only last night I ordered a dress for approximately $29. I was so stupid. It was late at night, the dress was same as I purchased before only a different colour so I wasn’t thinking. I always pay PayPal. In hindsight, this site had no PayPal. I paid direct credit card last night not thinking. When I checked out and card was paid it had tagged a fur coat to the order. There has been about $325 taken on my card!!!. I rang bank straight away and the money is gone. The bank had noticed the unusually large transaction to this site as got a text me asking was it me. How could I have been so stupid? I will dispute it once I’m sure it is not delivered. I never ticked the fur coat but it has me doubting myself all the same!
    Has this happened to any of you? Such a large amount of money. I am not right after this. I looked at the bag my other dress came in and it was a completely different site that I had purchased it from. I never noticed. When I went back into the Ariel Avenue site there is no sign of this dress or fur coat!!! Hopefully I’ll get my money back in a couple of weeks from the bank once not delivered. Guys watch this site carefully. This is big money I’ve been scammed for!

      Nooo I thought something was up but stupidly didn’t check my account until I read your comment. $82 for 2 dresses came to $115 plus an international charge when the company is supposed to be in melb I thought..

        Update** my bank said it could be legit as the amount I thought I’d paid in AUD is the correct amount in USD but will see what happens. No reposnce to my request for delivery time or a refund

      Dear Janice,
      same happend to me. I’ve written to them but no response. I’ve called my bank and they said to wait for a few days if they will write back and if they don’t that my banck will take actions.

            Hi Helen. It took them 5 days to answer me. I got an email confirming the cancellation of the order but the money is not back to me yet. Let’s hope it will show up in my account soon. I will keep you updated.

          • Maria Maia says

            Hei Helen.
            I got my money back and I feel really relieved, but also confused. I don’t really know if they made a mistake and will refund everyone, or if my bank managed that in some way… I am really hoping it was an honest mistake or some problem with their website and will be fixed for everyone.

          • Helen says

            Maria Maia, thank you so much for the answer! I informed my bank about the fraud and they promised to investigate the case. Hopefully I will be compensated as it is very likely a scam. Actually this blog post and all of your comments have been very helpful! I sent the print screens of the cases to the bank together with the bill Ariel sent me and the emails. I also reported Facebook about the scam page several times but strangely the page is still up and advertising on Facebook.

      The same has just happened to me. I bought a $29 dress and they added a coat to the sale but only after I had paid for the dress. At no time did I even look at the coat they said I bought. I called my bank immediately and sure enough more than $500 has been taken from my account. I have written to Ariel asking to refund the unauthorised transaction. Now I have to raise a dispute with my bank in a couple of days. Looks like it’s another Viagogo scam… Beware ***Ariel Avenue***

      I had just made the same mistake as yourself. The initial price for the dress advertised was $29.97. When check out and paid, the website added another winter jacket for $299.97 to my list which cost me a total of $320+. This website is definitely a scam. Sadly, my local bank couldn’t help to stop the transaction although i called them immediately after i saw the amount. It’s an expensive lesson. Hopefully everyone can avoid this website ARIEL AVENUE.

        Same happened to me, ladies… I’m in Spain, where I have to make a complaint at the police station but then the bank “should” refund it. Joanna: maybe push your bank a bit? It seems so unfair you get lumbered. I’m going to do all I can to get my money back. Good luck to you all, too.

        Hi Joanna,

        I had the exact same experience yesterday. I bought a dress for 29.99 and when I went to check out everything was fine until the screen said thank you for your order and a fur jacket to the value of 300 was there too. I emailed the company straight away and then rang my bank. Unfortunately because I have entered my card details it is harder to get the money back the bank said and nothing they can do except contact the company for a refund which from what I have now read is useless. I’m actually sick with it. It’s definitely not money I could afford to lose.

      I was just charged the same amount for the same fur coat! I feel sooo stupid now… looking at their website there’s no information whatsoever about the company. Not even a word about where they are based. My card transaction info says Miami, but I highly doubt that. But ladies, STAY AWAY from this website!!

      Oh, I see so many co-victims of Ariel Avenue here:( The exact same thing happened to me just an hour ago..I cannot blame enough myself of being so stupid:( I also wrote Ariel Avenue to cancel the order but of course no answer. My bank said that I´ll have to wait 10 days before they will take action. I added to my e-mail to Ariel that I will report all their accounts and also inform the Interpol. But I am afraid that they are ahead of us in this. What an awful scam!

        I reported them to my local police in Finland but there is probably hardly anything they can do about it. Good news, however, is that my bank will refund me. Thank you all for sharing your experiences, they are a worthy piece of evidence to prove that this is indeed a scam and I did NOT order that coat.

          I always thought that the worst case scenario is never getting the things you ordered. That way you would at least “only” lose the money you thought you could afford to spend. It never crossed my mind that some scumbags would actually charge you for something you didn’t even order. I am still shocked. This was a valuable lesson, I will never order anything again without googling the seller first.

        I replied them immediately that i do not want anymore any of these items as this is a scam and in couple of days they replied me that they cancelled the order and are refunding the money but i still haven´t got anything (usually it takes 3-4 days to transfer the money so i´ll wait couple of days more). Will keep you posted when I get it. But I advise you to certainly send them an e-mail first and maybe contact also your bank (i did).

        Today I got my money back from Ariel Avenue! So definitely let them know via e-mail that you want your purchase to be cancelled and money refunded! It will take a couple of days to solve things. Hope things will work out well for you too!

          Hi Helen. I am happy to hear you got your money back. I kinda think it’s the bank that manages to demand a refund. Same happened to me and as soon as the bank took actions, I got the money back.

      Please add The Love Sale (thelovesale.com)
      I bought a cute top and jeans after seeing the top in a GOOGLE SEARCH!! It wasn’t even a specific item, just for “floral blouse”under shopping. Google is definitely complicit in this as they sent me their way instead of to thousands of reputable websites.
      After almost 6 weeks and lots of back and forth, I received a package from China that contained two poorly made dresses!

    Please add Lemon Apparel to this list. I have been waiting on water bottles I ordered to arrive since November. They no longer have a working website. All links in emails sent that had previously confirmed my order no longer work. I googled them and see all kinds of info about people having the same issue, including tons of the same on the BBB website. I am working with my back to dispute the charges but fear that they have closed up shop altogether and it may be too late.

    One thing I’ve noticed is that these illegitimate sites don’t give you the option to use PayPal…. not sure if it’s a coincidence, but I steer clear if PayPal isn’t an option.

    Hi,
    I really appreciate your advice and blog! I’m going to share this on FB.
    Please include ‘Dark & Stylish’ on your list.
    I took a chance on ordering over $100 worth of lingerie from them considering little to no reviews because the designs looked hot. However, much to my disappointment, their delivery time was slow and items were delivered at different times from the one order. The outfits were of poor and cheap quality and some of the items were not as pictured. I returned most but then couldn’t be bothered returning a few because they arrived in different times, so I had to alter (not for size but fixed pieces on them just to make them look more presentable) and to keep them. Don’t know if anyone has ordered from them…. BUT STAY AWAY!!

    Credit Card company will usually back the buyer. Sent them your complaint and request a refund. The credit card company will charge back from the seller. I’ve done it. This is the best way to hit the scammers.

    I have placed orders for several little things from AliExpress over the last 2 months using the app on my phone . Is this the same one you listed here? I’m receiving my orders- takes a while but was informed before ordering. If it’s a problematic site for most and I got lucky …. I don’t want to continue to order and risk it!!! So sad that more things than not are scams now a days. =[

    CHICNICO is happy to scam you. Please be aware.
    I ordered in November and received product two weeks later. ($90.00)
    It was garbage so I filled out their return form and paid to return garbage the next day. ($23.00)
    We are now in February with no response to my follow up emails.
    Lesson learned.

    I ordered a ‘’MSGM Strickkleid mit Streifen’’ (or striped sweater dress in english) from KDNCOOLINGTOWER.com, a webshop in german language despite its name.

    A rather unspecified order confirmation mail came from ‘’cs4’’. It contained, however, a tracking number. Payment was made to YJF Romapinec.

    As if not already enough companies were involved: I got a small package from a Chen Jian, GZSWL etc, Guangdong. The package showed the tracking number from ‘’cs4’’, so there is no room for misunderstanding.

    The tiny package however contained no sweater dress or whatever clothing at all, but only a card etui (supposedly from Louis Vuitton but probably fake).

    From reading other ‘’scam’’ reporting sites, I got the impression that Chen Jian makes his living by sending this ‘’Louis Vuitton’’ garbage all over the world, no matter what kind of product is ordered.

    KDNCOOLINGTOWER has no address, no telephone number and no email address, just a comment field which gives no confirmation or response. I mailed back to cs4, but they too refuse to answer.

    Which leaves me with the suspicion that they willingly cooperate with this Chen Jiang.

    In other words: stay away from that cooling tower!

    Please add LaddyTopia to your DO NOT order from list. They are from China too and their quality is HORRIBLE!!!! When you try to return the item, they offer you a 10% refund or all the shipping and customs is on you for the return. They are rip-off artists!
