Low Quality Items & Shockingly Slow Returns. Its been a month & no refund.
Long post, but I break it all down. Overall you should not purchase from this company. Firstly, its clear that this company engages in paying for positive reviews, you can tell from the positive reviews below (and across all their socials), for lack of a better term, they are very generic. I purchased several bracelets and a necklace from NOGU in June. The items took a while to "process" but arrived quickly after that. As someone who has experience with drop-shipping, this was already a red flag. I ordered both their 925 sterling bracelets and their normal pendant necklaces. These items are not high quality. The "handmade" firefly glass beads feel like plastic beads and the bracelets are made from the stretchy elastic you would find at any craft store. The necklace is made of a low quality alloy, not stainless steel or any higher quality metal. The 925 stamp was only on some of the clasps, but not anywhere else on the 925 bracelets. The glowing "firefly" effect is really a gimmick. What they do not tell you is that the glow fades within seconds and only works with a UV light. Two of the bracelets I ordered did not even glow anymore - so there is no quality control, another sign that these are mass produced. If you watch their TikTok and social media you can see almost all of their reviews are from paid influencers. There is also no storytelling of them hand making any of these bracelets - they just do clickbait style videos - yet another red flag. So after all of that, I did return my entire order. It has now been a month and I still have not received my refund. I will contact their customer service one more time, then I will report them to the BBB. A company cannot wait a month to do a return. I would advise that no one should purchase from this business, they have misrepresented themselves and the quality of product is not there. Plus keeping a customers money for a month is very shady.
