Fawnya G.
Ordered on 10/8/24. Received an email on 10/16/24 stating that there was a warehouse fire. I immediately emailed back to inquire about my order…if order was still being shipped and/or receiving a refund if it was no longer going to be shipped. Unprofessional automated responses and no responses to emails, messages and number they have listed to text. Contacting my bank to see if the transaction can be traced and if I can be issued a refund.
Response from KELLY OBI NYNov 14, 2024
Hello Fawnya. We're so sorry for the hassle caused. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We wanted to circle back on your concern because we don't want keep you—or anyone reading this—left in the dark about what happened behind the scenes since your review was posted. Yes, we received the ticket you opened on 10/16 asking about your order's status and a possible refund. We're sorry if the automated response you got came off as unprofessional—it's just meant to confirm that your message was received and to give you a heads-up that our team's handling a high volume of inquiries. I understand it wasn't as persona as we'd like and we apologize that it missed the mark on showing you we care. As for your refund, our records show it was successfully issued on 10/22 as confirmed on our correspondence. If you need the Acquirer Reference Number (ARN) to confirm with your bank, just drop us a line, and we'll send it right over. Thanks again for giving the brand a shot! We appreciate it! —The Kelly Obi NY Customer Appreciation Team 😽 Biz Hours: Mon-Fri, 10AM to 5PM EST | Online Storefront: www.kellyobi.com | Holler: [email protected]
Dana D.
Don't order from them it's a SCAM. Please always read reviews first, I didn't with them and all this scamming ripoff artists do is send more emails with incorrect spelling trying to get you to buy more with their FAKE discounts. Only trying to get more of your money.
Response from KELLY OBI NYNov 13, 2024
Hello Dana. I'm really sorry your experience wasn't what you expected. That's definitely not the impression we want to leave, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Just to clear things up, the people you see in our posts are our models and influencers not random scam artists. We work with them to show our pieces on real people, so you get a better feel for how they look and fit. We even have ambassadors who wear our items on their own social media pages to give a bit of extra style and inspiration. We know it can feel uncertain, but we're definitely a real company out of Kearny, NJ with a wonderful community of supporters of over 35k happy customers. Feel free to take a peek kat their feedback here: https://kellyobi.com/pages/reviews-1 About the discount codes—we can assure you they're the real deal! Thousands of our customers use them successfully. Sometimes, issue with codes can pop up if there's a small typo when you apply them, or if a code has already been used. Since we offer different kinds of codes (some for specific items, others for seasonal promotions), they can sometimes be a bit tricky to use. If you had any trouble, please reach out to our customer care team—we'd be happy to apply the discount manually and refund any difference. Also, I noticed you mentioned typos on our newsletters or emails. Thanks for pointing that out! We're human and do make mistakes sometimes, but we appreciate your understanding as we work on improving our communications. I really hope this clears things sup! We're here if you need any more help, and again I'm really sorry for the trouble you've had. —The Kelly Obi NY Customer Appreciation Team 😽 | Biz Hours: Mon-Fri, 10AM to 5PM EST | Online Storefront: www.kellyobi.com | Holler: [email protected]
Lisa C.
HORRIBLE.. I placed an order on 9/27/24 and it’s 10/20 and I have not received ANYTHING! It hasn’t even shipped. Is this a real company???? And it is impossible to communicate with customer service BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE ONE!! There is not a customer service phone # to actually call, just an automated text. DO NOT ORDER from them.
Response from KELLY OBI NYNov 13, 2024
Hello Lisa. I'm really sorry for your experience—I get why you're upset. I checked your order details, and it was fulfilled on 10/20 and delivered by USPS on 10/26. I know the wait was longer than expected and I truly apologize for the inconvenience caused. Just to ease any worries, we're a legitimate company with headquarters in Kearny, NJ with over 35k happy customers worldwide. Feel free to see what others have said about us here: https://kellyobi.com/pages/reviews-1. As for customer support, we do have a small but dedicated team. And I see that two of our specialists were in touch with you on Facebook and via email. We've chosen to focus on digital channels like email and chat to support customers globally, rather than using a toll-free number, which wouldn't work for everyone. Also, this way, ,we can reduce our environmental footprint while embracing modern, efficient customer care. I really hope this helps clarify things, and I'm here if you need anything else. Thanks for your patience, and I'm truly sorry again for the trouble. —The Kelly Obi NY Customer Appreciation Team 😽 | Biz Hours: Mon-Fri, 10AM to 5PM EST | Online Storefront: www.kellyobi.com | Holler: [email protected]

Let me start by saying that Kelly Obi has some beautiful pieces…. If you can ever get them . Don’t think about ordering something for an event because you NOT get it on time. I have three orders that I placed with them one being over three weeks ago. I just received a partial order and immediately have to send back send as it looks as if it’s made for a toddler. I have three open orders with them and totally disgusted with the automated responses.
Response from KELLY OBI NYNov 13, 2024
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, SJ. I’m really sorry to hear about your experience—it sounds frustrating, and I completely understand your concerns. On 10/25, we reached out here on Trustpilot asking for more information about your order, but we haven’t heard back yet. No worries if you’ve been busy! When you get a moment, please send over your order details, and we’ll get right on it to sort things out. You’re correct—our shipping can take a little longer, especially since we offer free standard shipping worldwide using carriers like USPS, DHL, FedEx, and UPS. We do our best to set expectations on our site (https://kellyobi.com/pages/order-delivery), but I know the wait can be frustrating. We’re actively working on speeding things up, and we really appreciate your patience in the meantime. I also apologize if our automated responses came off as impersonal and rubbed you the wrong way. They’re just meant to confirm we received your message and are working through the queue—we definitely don’t want you to feel ignored. Regarding sizing, we completely get it! It’s disappointing when something doesn’t fit as expected. That’s why we’ve made our return process as easy as possible. You can find all the details here: https://kellyobi.com/a/return. Despite this hiccup, we’ve fulfilled tens of thousands of orders this year and received great feedback from many of our 35k customers. You can check out some of their reviews here: https://kellyobi.com/pages/reviews-1. We’d love the opportunity to make things right and ensure your experience improves going forward. Thank you again for giving us your honest feedback. —The Kelly Obi NY Customer Appreciation Team 😽 | Biz Hours: Mon-Fri, 10AM to 5PM EST | Online Storefront: www.kellyobi.com | Holler: [email protected]
MM
Traaaaash company. Wish I had known. Ordered something a month ago and crickets. FINALLY got an email with some bs lie about a warehouse fire. This company is so trashy. Thankful I didn’t spend too much money cause at this point I’m just assuming it’ll never come. Never again.
Response from KELLY OBI NYNov 13, 2024
We're really sorry you've had this experience, MM. We wanted to let you know that we tried reaching out for more information about your order because, without anything more than your initials, we couldn't pull up the details. Pretty much like trying to find a needle in a haystack over here. :) If it's not too much trouble, could you please reply to the request we sent you from here on Trustpilot with your order number? We really want to get this sorted for you and find out what happened. Whether it's getting a refund, sending out a replacement, or just giving you some proper updates, we're more than happy to help! Also, we'd like to assure you that the unforeseen incident at one of our partner warehouses sure did affect our operations, but we understand how upsetting it is to feel left in the dark. I know this has been a frustrating situation, and I truly appreciate your patience. Once we get your info, we'll dive right in and look into your order and ticket case (if you opened one) and make sure everything gets resolved. We'd love to help turn this around and hopeful give you a reason to update your review. —The Kelly Obi NY Customer Appreciation Team 😽 | Biz Hours: Mon-Fri, 10AM to 5PM EST | Online Storefront: www.kellyobi.com | Holler: [email protected]
Ameenah Y.
I placed an order on 9/27. Today is 10/17, and no shipping info is available. Customer service only gives you a repeated message—no real response. I will not be purchasing from this company again.
Response from KELLY OBI NYNov 13, 2024
Hello Ameenah. I'm really sorry we let you down with your recent order. We completely dropped the ball on keeping you informed about our package status, and I can see why that left your frustrated. The good news is your jeans were delivered on October 30th, but I know this wasn’t the smooth experience you were hoping for. We’ve taken your feedback seriously and are working on improving our communication and tracking systems to prevent this in the future. I know this experience didn’t meet your expectations, and I’d be happy to discuss this further if there’s anything we can do to make it right. Please feel free to reach out directly so we can assist you further. Thank you again for your honest feedback. —The Kelly Obi NY Customer Appreciation Team 😽 | Biz Hours: Mon-Fri, 10AM to 5PM EST | Online Storefront: www.kellyobi.com | Holler: [email protected]
Shelley B.
Just plain horrible. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. It’s been a month and all I’ve gotten is a cockamamie story about a fire! Is there a 0 stars button?
Response from KELLY OBI NYNov 13, 2024
Hello Shelley. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. I can understand why this has left you feeling frustrated, and I appreciate the chance to clear things up. I looked into your order details, and here’s what I found: Your 3D Flower Solid Short Sleeve T-Shirt was shipped via USPS and delivered to your address on October 28. I’m truly sorry if this wasn’t communicated clearly—that’s on us. I also see that we processed a full refund for your order on October 31, which has already been issued back to your original payment method. As you know, we sent out a return label on October 31 via our reply to your ticket as a courtesy to make it easy for you to send the item back if needed. We wanted to ensure you had a hassle-free way to return it since the refund was already processed. Kindly use it anytime. I know you mentioned feeling like you got a “cockamamie story about a fire,” and I want to be transparent here. We did have a temporary issue at our warehouse, which affected some orders and caused delays. I promise you it wasn’t an excuse but an explanation of the real hurdles we were facing at the time. I understand your disappointment and frustration, and I genuinely apologize for how this has gone. Please reach out if there’s anything else we can do to make this right. We truly value your business and hope we can regain your trust. —The Kelly Obi NY Customer Care Team Open Mon-Fri, 10AM to 5PM EST | Website: www.kellyobi.com | Email: [email protected]
