Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I initially saw the initial on TikTok. I did not feel comfort purchasing from TikTok so searched the website. I found the same item on the website and placed my order. Considering there was a note that all items are hand made, it said there would be a delay in shipping. I was patient and waited the time (2-5 weeks for production, 2-5 days to prepare for shipment). Once that time was up (plus a few days), I went online to their website to find customer service contact (I also did not receive any emails). That is when I discovered the only customer service method was a “contact us form” via their website or DM on Instagram. I DM via Instagram with no response. I referenced back to the website and this is what it says, “Once a pouch order is placed, it is immediately added to production queue, and materials and production time are allocated. All sales are final once placed. No cancellations and no refunds. No exchanges or returns, as all pouches are made to order.” Legally, they can not charge someone for an item they did send and/or receive. This “business” failed to send item and failed to notify customer of delay in shipment from quoted shipping time. No item was ever received by customer. Order date 10/30/2025, current date 12/14/2025.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I was shopping for an ereader, specifically a Boox Palma 2. In my search on google in my google chrome browser, I saw a great price under the sponsored products. The store was listed as overstock. I clicked the link and the page said overstock at the top. There was a special price with an automatic discount. The original price was 109.99 but after discount it was 79.99. I made the purchase and received a email receipt. This morning I went back to look at the email receipt to see if there was any shipping information and I noticed that the store name on the receipt was Overstoock not Overstock. Then I noticed that the return email address looked suspicious and did not include the name Overstock. I then clicked the link to view my order and noticed that there is no way to cancel the order. The web address for the store is not "Overstock". The "about" section of the store is very vague. The logo of "Overstock" is used on the website in several places but it is not the actual reputed website for "Overstock".

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

After seeing beautiful, designer-type clothing on Facebook through this company, I ordered an XS dress. The dress I ordered was very fitted and sleek in the advertised photo. The dress that arrived hung on me like a garbage bag. The fabric was cheap. The belt included (which was different than the one in the image) was more than 5' long. Even the sleeve openings were huge - not at all how it was pictured online. This company projects the image of Italian-owned, chic, boutique-type shop, based in NYC. I should've known it was a scam with no actual address for the storefront they claim is in New York. When I inquired about a return they said it needed to be returned to China at my expense. The address given had no mention of the company name and in fact was to a personal address. It would have cost me half the cost of the dress to return the item. I decided against it because I was fearful that it would even get there or be refunded. I'm out $70.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered a MYGift package consisting of pop out / 3d like picture of me with my family; and the item was completely inaccurate. The literally placed unknown individual’s faces, where my family’s faces were at. I contacted their customer service team, per their instructions on their webpage “90-Days Return / Exchange Policy, at: “*******************************************”. Their customer chat representative, in attempt to solve the issue, informed me they could correct the issue, but under one circumstance - that I pay for shipping fees. Completely dissatisfied with that resolution, I requested a full refund. Once again, in attempt to “resolve the issue”, they offered a partial refund but only at 30-40%. [Personal Comment: I respectfully request a full refund, but if they are not even going to do that, the least thing I can do is report this scam, so that others don’t get ripped off.]

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered an 'interactive' toy dog. Advertisement said 'Your Child's New Best Friend: Meet The Pet of The Future" First robot puppy that learns and plays with your child. Walks, barks, sits and runs with lifelike motion. Wags, nods, and "smiles" back in response. AI-powered adaptive behavior. Ready to play out of the box. Videos showed children playing with the dog. The dog appears to be the size of a large cat. In the video, they said just push the button on the dog's side to start 'training' it. The dog interacts with the children in the video. What I got was a 5 inch tall toy. When I put batteries in the toy and turned it on, the legs moved back and forth and there was a barking noise. There was no way to interact with the toy. There was no button on the side. That's all it did.

Advertised a wallet, with supposedly shipping within the USA with 2-3 day shipping according to their website. The wallet came from China so I emailed them to cancel the order after I saw where it was coming from. I was told they have a 4 hour cancellation policy and I’d have to wait for the item to be delivered and then process a return. I have to cover shipping costs back, and they would return 90% of the purchase price. When I emailed them for the label, they offered me 30% which I declined, and then 50% which I also declined. I’d encourage anyone to stay away from this company as the same product can be found on Amazon for $30, instead of $100 and a fight to get it returned and your money back.
