This company should not be trusted with your money, unless you don't care about timely service or actual customer service.

I ordered a dress on October 14 that was going to be part of a Halloween costume. I wanted to be sure that the dress would arrive before Halloween, of course, and the Fabshopper site noted that it would arrive by no later than 10 business days -- this put arrival on track for October 28 at the latest.

I made the purchase, then the next day received an email that the package would not arrive for a minimum of four weeks. The package was being shipped from China and was going to take a month! I was immediately annoyed and attempted to cancel the purchase and get my money back. I was told that the package had already shipped -- this turned out not to be true -- and I could not get a refund. I sent multiple emails in response, but never got a satisfying answer.

I disputed the purchase through PayPal, and Fabshopper offered me $1 to resolve the claim. I of course rejected that offer -- the purchase price including shipping was nearly 2000% higher. Now Fabshopper has refused to respond to numerous emails.

By the way, my package finally arrived two days before Thanksgiving. Thanks, Fabshopper!

Cheap clothing!
November 21, 2016

Ordered a dress in black, I received a neon blue, the material is the cheapest polyester you can find, the seams were sewn crooked, the shoulder straps were uneven. I emailed them wanting to return it for a refund and all they could say was I'm sorry you are not happy with your order, we can issue a store credit! Why would I want anything from this cheap clothing store? Never never again!

Don't waste your time.
November 18, 2016

I ordered three dresses. After more than a month I finally received my package to find out I was only sent two of the three items ordered. The quality of the dresses are cheap. I keep getting the run around from fabshopper customer care. And that in itself is a joke. It seems they keep avoiding the fact that they only sent two of the items ordered and they keep telling me they are sorry about sending the wrong color. Seriously? I even sent them a snapshot of the order. I am still working with them on resolving the issue. NEVER AGAIN!

Order never showed up
November 16, 2016

I ordered items from Fab Shopper and they never came.

I emailed the customer service after waiting for over 1 month and they rudely replied that it was lost in the post and there is nothing they could do.

Don't order from here. It is a waste of time

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
June 8, 2016

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY! Gave me the run around as to why my package had not been shipped when it was well past the stated processing time. Then after several unfriendly emails I was finally able to get a tracking number (which I paid extra for) to see my package had just been shipped. Finally after over a month and a half I received my dress. However, I ordered a 3XL and what did I receive? An XL! As you can imagine quite a big size difference and of course it doesn't fit. Will try to resolve the issue with the company but based on my experience I am not too hopeful.

Only shipped half my order...
December 2, 2015

I ordered two identical knitted hats and they only shipped me 1 of them. The packing slip said there were 2 shipped in the same package, simply not true. They don't have a phone number for customers to call, you have to email them instead. I was informed they no longer have stock of the item I ordered. Buyer beware!

A waste of time
September 19, 2015

I placed an order and they cancelled my order after I enquired on how long it would take to ship. I was told by customer service that there was a glitch on their computer and items were not in stock. Hard to believe all four items. I ordered were out of stock. Wasted my time looking through... Never again

I placed 3 orders, only received one and of the 2 items in this order one looked liked it had been sewn by a child. I returned it and paid postage as they said they would reimburse me but never did. I have recently started a claim with PAYPAL for the 2 missing parcels that I ordered on 31. 3. 15 and not received but for some reason they found in their favour.

They falsely advertise clothing, ship you a completely different item, completely wrong size, and then you get to pay return shipping which if not in UK is quite expensive. They lie and show photos of clothing that does not exist. RUN RUN AWAY. NEVER TRUST THIS COMPANY NOR THIS WEBSITE!

Do not order if you are expecting your item to arrive by a certain time. I ordered a gift on 10/14 and on the website it said it will take 3-5 days of shipping. Well it's been 16 days and no updates. I contacted customer support 3 days ago and all I get are fake responses apologizing with no action attached to it. I checked USPS tracking and it still has not left their original sorting facility. It's way too late for me to gift this item. Considering every single time I've ordered from Fab (3 times) the item arrived at least 7 days after the estimated arrival date, I'd NEVER order from Fab again.

This site has the best customer service ever! Quick response too! I had a item that broke after 5 months and emailed them and they gave me a full refund without any question or sending it back! Amazing!

They could have just said call the manufacter... but they didn't, just gave me a full refund!

Rip Off!
May 17, 2014

Rip Off! Need to be reported! I purchased a t-shirt from their site and the shipping was $5.95 to my address. I've then later realised after checking my bank statement that they charged $19.95. I contacted them via email and received an automated response. I then replied and got no response back.
Their "smiles guaranteed" moto is a load of S#@T

Been a relatively frequent purchaser on Fab.com. Recently not satisfied with purchases. Beach cover up had a hole right in the fabric; not on seam. Next item was pillow covered in canvas. 2 seams were completely ripped apart and packed like a drunk had done it. Needed it for an occasion so had a seamstress repair. A week ago I received a $438 stool that arrived with NO instructions whatsoever. Was impossible to put together and there were 3 of us. One person was a finish carpenter and his verdict was that it had a design flaw. Contacted the "crackerjack" team that turns out to be nothing more than smoke and mirrors. I have blocked FAB.com emails. Junk mail because they are a junk outfit. It's like they're selling 2nds or items that wouldn't sell in a regular retail channel. Stay away from FAB.

I've only ordered twice from Fab.com, but so far I'm pleased. My second order included several different "storage and organization" items for my home. The prices at Fab.com were less expensive than the exact same items on Amazon.com. I received the order all in one box, quickly, and the items exceeded my expectations. While I agree that some items seem over-priced, my experience with Fab.com is that quality costs a bit more and is worth it. If you want cheap, shop somewhere else. Plus Fab.com has some unusual and fun merchandise.

I was concerned about some of the negative experiences I read about here but I had excellent service from Fab. The item I wanted was out of stock so I set up an email notification for when it was available. When I got that, I ordered it (for $15-$20 less than I found it on any other site), it shipped immediately and arrived, exactly what I ordered in two days (without expedited shipping). I would certainly order from Fab again.

I ordered three items on 12/7/13, and box was shipped promptly. Too bad the box was empty. Just realized it when I went to open box to wrap gifts. Called and spoke to someone and she claims she will get on it. But frankly, this is the first time in over 10 years of online shopping that this has ever happened. I am extremely unsatisfued and after I get these item, will NEVER shop here again.

I have been buying from Fab since October of last year and overall it's been a positive experience. I have made purchases from just about every category including perishable food, vintage clothing and housewares, jewelry, etc. While I agree with other buyers that shipping could be a little speedier, late delivery is not always the case. Keep in mind that on some items, they gather orders and then have the featured company ship directly and this can add quite a bit of extra time.
I deleted the app after they revamped it at the beginning of the year. Its hard to navigate and I find browsing more difficult if I don't go in with something already in mind. I'm still making purchases but not nearly as frequently as I once did.

Get emails from FAB and always take a look, this email said they were having a sale so I decided to do a little impulse buying. After nearly an hour on the web site and a call with customer service full of heart felt I'm sorrys etc. could not place an order. The email said click her to begin shoppings turns out it does not work with all browsers and you have t exit, turn on another browser and begin again. Complete waste of time. Interesting merchandise but not worth my time.

Been to this site over and over and over... if you are a "yuppie" and like spending way too much money for something that looks "chic" or "unique". Then have at it... but the stuff they offer... NOT worth the prices they put on it...
