Took over 40 days to receive my order
Took over 40 days to receive my order. Quality of items very poor. Will never order from them again. Very poor communication about order and no explanation for delay.

Ordered a pillow and curtain during their labor day sale. After waiting just under two weeks and hearing nothing, I reached out to customer service to advise that I never received a confirmation. I was told that there was a processing time of one-two weeks on orders. Okay, I wait another couple weeks, still nothing. I reach out again, am told there is a delay due to the labor day sale. After another week I reach out once more, am told there is an issue with the company that makes the products I ordered. Eventually, I’m offered an alternative with what’s on the website (the two items I ordered have vanished). I decline, wait another couple weeks and reach out again asking about the status. I hear nothing. Finally, I just ask for a refund- I just get an email saying “I’ll ask my manager.” I hear nothing for another week, and finally file a claim on Paypal, THEN got my money back, with no word at all from the company. Did I mention it took several days to respond to any email? It was like pulling teeth to get any sort of answer!

I ordered this item over a month before it finally arrived. I received no updates on any delay or issues with the order and when it still hadn't arrived after Halloween I reached out letting the company know and asking for my money back. I was informed I couldn't have my money back and that my item was on the way.... Come to find out when it arrived it wasn't even shipped until November 11th! Well over a month after the order was placed. I will not be using your company again. If my order had been filled at the time of placement or if my request for a refund had been fulfilled and the company error acknowledged you could have kept my business.

Hey we’re very sorry to hear about your poor experience! We believe we have responded to your customer service inquiries. You have to understand that if a hot seller goes out of stock with us, we have to order more from overseas. A lot of our products come from all over the UK and Europe. We try to place weekly orders with all of our vendors. If volume is higher, this is easier to do. Sometimes this process takes longer than expected. We can't refund orders once these orders have been processed though, we would go out of business and none of these amazing products would ever be available in the US to begin with. Please understand, we are not Amazon, but we are starting to see some market up-tick and and we're working to stock more of these unique items in the US than ever before! We appreciate customer patience, and again are sorry you feel you've been wronged. We try to make all of our policies as clear as possible on the website. While we do not offer returns, we WILL offer store credit, and if speed is your issue you can shop our Fast Ship Section for fast 2-3 day priority shipping anywhere in the US at no extra charge. If you have any additional questions or concerns about your order, please feel free to reach out to us directly at [email protected] or call us at +1 (512) 666-4488 and we will do our best to resolve the issue!

Had to file a dispute through PayPal because you didn’t send me my order or respond to any of my emails or PayPal. Finally got my order but I don’t think I would have gotten it if I didn’t file the dispute. Stop scamming people

I'm sorry but you think it's just a coincidence your order arrived? Sometimes delays happen and we are very sorry about that. These items are not in large quantity anywhere in the US, but we are not scammers, we service hundreds of orders every month. A handful of 1 star reviews does not make us scammers thank you very much. Check out our blog, you can see our pack & ship station and our stock room for yourself. Please do not spread unsubstantiated lies. Have some perspective, we are not Amazon, and we are currently re-investing every dime of profit into carrying more stock than ever to cut down on delays, but issues still happen sometimes, oversea shipments get lost, have delays, etc, even when we try our best. Your order apparently is an example. There is no grand conspiracy.

I made an order on the Violet Vixen website on September, 23, 2019. When I hadn't received my order after a week or so I emailed them on October 7, 2019. I didn't receive an answer till October 15, 2019. They stated it's usually in stock but if it's been oversold it should take between 8-12 business days to deliver to me. I stated I just wanted my order cancelled and my money returned. It is now November 13, 2019 and I have sent no less than 10 emails stating I want my order cancelled and my money returned. No response whatsoever. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE. This has literally never happened to me before and I am just stunned that it has. I'm going to keep sending them emails till I get my money back. But I fear I will never see it.

Hey, I'm really sorry to hear about your poor experience! If you read our shipping timeframes for the product, this is not outside of normal shipping timeframes, even from competitors, for made-to-order items. If you read our Return Policy, you will see that we do not offer refunds, only store credit up to 30 days after shipment. This is because if you buy something made to order, and then you don't want it, we are then stuck with the item, which we have to buy! So store credit is the best we can do to insure we don't have a ton of size-specific stock that our operating capital is tied up in and we didn't plan to have. It's the only way our company can operate and we do our best to make sure people read our terms! The items we sell are unique and not held in large quantities anywhere in the US. I'm sure your item has been shipped. If you'd like to do a return, we DO offer STORE CREDIT, which you can use to buy anything else on the site. I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. If you MUST get your money back, even though the item has been delivered and it is against our Return Policy, please reach out to me at [email protected] directly and we can discuss! UPDATE: Item out of stock from Manufacturer, customer unwilling to wait for restock. We have issued a full refund.

I still have not received my product from July. I've contacted the company multiple times and still have not received my corset or a refund.

Never got the dress I ordered and never got the refund I was told via email that I would get back for it.
