Just filed BBB Complaint
Just filed BBB Complaint. Do NOT shop here. They are about to go out of business. I ordered 1 time (took 2 months to get) and had to return an item bc it was too big. Fine, i opted for store credit and they gave extra $20 if I did. After getting a digital gift card via email i ordered a couple more items on 11/12/24 and paid an extra $16 on my debit card. As of 12/29 the order was cancelled and a regund was given back to the gift card and debit. Now the kicker here is when I finally found the email with the digital gift card and click check balance it says its an error. Then I lost my debit card in Nov also so its invalid. I replied to them very frustrated with no response yet but a sob story email comes about all their issues their having.... if u have any sense do NOT buy from them! I should have listened to the reviews smdh.

Would give 0 stars...
Would give 0 stars.... Ordered two necklaces November 30th 2024 and this morning I received this email:
Your order has been canceled
Order #60626 was canceled at your request and your payment has not yet been refunded.
I didn't cancel my order, I haven't received money back nor the necklaces. I EMAILED THEM AND STILL NO REPLY. THE NECKLACES I ORDERED ARE STILL FOR SALE SO THE LEAST OWNERS CAN DO IS REPLY OR REFUND ME.
DON'T SHOP HERE THEY'RE SCAMMERS

I have been trying to return a jacket…
I have been trying to return a jacket for over a month. Get return emails about how busy they are and they’ll get back to me. This feels like they are going to file bankruptcy or go out of business. Emails about supplier issues usually says they aren’t paying their bills. Also reporting to NJ state attorney general office, division of consumer affairs.

I spent $1,500 on trash made in China
I received the following email from Kelly Obi:
“Dear Kelly Obi Community,
I want to take a moment to address some of the frustrations many of you have experienced with your orders. First and foremost, I deeply apologize for the delays and lack of communication during this time. As mentioned in prior updates, a fire at our supplier's warehouse significantly disrupted our operations, causing unforeseen delays. While we initially believed we could resume normal operations within a few weeks, this was not the case.
To resolve this, we have parted ways with the previous supplier and partnered with a new one that we are confident will meet our fulfillment needs. As part of this transition, all orders placed between October 24 and December 27 have been canceled and refunded. If you'd like to reorder, please do so at kellyobi.com, and as a token of our apology, we're offering a a free pair of earrings along with your order. Just use the code GiftKelly.
I completely understand if you feel hesitant to shop with us again after this experience. Please know it was never our intention for orders to take so long to fulfill. Unfortunately, we found ourselves caught in a challenging cycle that we're still working to overcome. Additionally, I had to make the difficult decision to lay off our customer service team, which is why communication has been lacking.
Running a business is incredibly hard, and I've experienced my share of setbacks, including past ventures that didn't succeed. I'm sharing this not for sympathy, but because I want to be transparent about why I build these brands. They are born out of love and my deep passion for creating digital experiences for women of color.
Trust me, i've wanted to quit many times, but as much as many time as I've wanted to quit, God's vision for me keeps pulling me forward.
My ultimate goal is to establish a digital mall that connects women of color consumers with women of color creators. I believe there is so much beauty in the world that deserves to be showcased on a global platform.
At my core, I am driven by a desire to build communities of extraordinary people with extraordinary ideas. I am inspired by the brilliance of women of color and am committed to celebrating and supporting their talents, not just in spirit but also financially. I strive to create opportunities that empower them to thrive on their own terms and share their creativity with the world.
I am equally passionate about helping these creators tap into their own potential and creative energy. By sharing my journey—both the struggles and the triumphs—I hope to inspire others to chase their dreams fearlessly.
This mission is what fuels me: building, supporting, sharing, and empowering a community that has the power to transform the world.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your patience, understanding, and support mean more than you know.
Kelechi
and all of us at the Kelly Obi team”
Here was my response:
I bought clothes from you last year for about $1,500 in total. Most of what I received I had to return because it was in such poor quality. What I kept, has broken very easily. I am not a woman of color, and yet I supported you. You really misrepresent women of color and you should be ashamed of yourself. All of this backlash is justified. And where are the receipts of this “warehouse fire” to prove that you’re speaking the truth. Also, I know that most of your clothes come from a supplier in China where they pay children pennies on the dollar to make cheap clothes, so don’t to be wholesome or providing jobs to women of color because are nothing but a scammer.
AVOID KELLY OBI AT ALL COSTS!!!

I PRE-ordered a beautiful necklace and waited about 2 months for it, only for the order to be canceled without notice and the store completely removed from the SHOP on-line platform.

BY A INFLUENTIAL MAKEUP CEO!
I was attracted to the site, after a very influential CEO Makeup artist I'm familiar with who purchases from Kelly Obi. I purchased my item November 11th, as a Christmas gift & never received it! No apology! No offer to try to make it better,even though Christmas passed! STAY AWAY FROM...Some sites don't deserve to be patronized!
