Fashion Nova is the most unreliable company I've ever ordered from. They constantly push these huge promotions to lure people in, but the moment you place an order, they can't keep up with the supply and demand they created themselves. On top of that, they false advertise "One Day Shipping" just to get you to check out faster—but it NEVER arrives in one day. I've paid for One Day Shipping multiple times and not once has it shown up on time. Instead, every order has an "exception," which basically means they took my money and didn't deliver what they promised. This isn't a one-time mistake; this has happened 4-5 different times, which proves they know exactly what they're doing and just don't care. They refuse to refund shipping properly and try to push store credit like that fixes anything. Their customer service is useless, their logistics are a mess, and the company is misleading customers on purpose. I'm done ordering from this scam of a brand.

Very disappointment with your refund policy and my recent return experience. This was my first time ordering from Fashion Nova, and unfortunately, it has not been a positive one. I was unaware that refunds are not issued back to the original form of payment and that customers are instead limited to receiving store credit. Had this been clearly communicated prior to purchase, I would have reconsidered placing my order. It is extremely frustrating to be stuck with merchandise that does not fit and a gift card for items I am now hesitant to purchase. A more transparent and customer-friendly refund process would make a significant difference, especially for first-time buyers. I hope you will consider reviewing how your return policy is presented and possibly re-evaluating the policy itself. Clear communication upfront helps build trust with customers. Sincerely,

I am a frequent shopper on this website. Recently, I purchased 3 dresses. When I received the package, 2 of the dresses were missing from the order. I contacted customer service, and they took a while before they replied. They stated that they shipped my items and it's their right to deny a refund or replacement, stating that an irregular or excessive history involving worn, altered, laundered, damaged, or missing items. Where is the record of this? There was only one other similar incident a couple of years ago, where I also did not receive an item. They suck! They make no accommodations for customers responsible for keeping them in business. I wish I could give zero stars!

I ordered genuine leather jacket, as soon as l got it it had terrible smell. After researching l found out it's due to poor leather maintenance. It smelled like dead cow. Even though l submitted refund that allowed me to return item from dubai in span of 1 month, the company didn't accept my refund even though l had their mail allowing me to return it due to that date. Horrible, unfair treatment towards customers. They scammed me for 250$

I have been a Fashion Nova customer for years and this year alone I have spent over $3,000 with them, so I am not just a casual shopper. Honestly, it is a love-hate relationship. Some pieces are decent quality and last, but others rip or fall apart after only a few wears. Shopping here is always a gamble. Their biggest flaw is pants sizing. They are not short-girl friendly. I am 5'3" and even their so-called petite options are still long. Because of that, I am limited to shorts and dresses, which does not work in winter. It feels like they design only for taller women, which is really disappointing because they do have cute matching sets. Customer service is where the frustration really sets in. It is nearly impossible to reach them. The only reason I finally got a working contact was because my delivery carrier gave me *******@fashionnova.com (and you are welcome, because you will not find that listed anywhere). Even then, dealing with them is exhausting. They only give you 14 days to report damaged items and refuse to make exceptions. When I placed over an $800 order, I found a damaged piece that was not even eligible for return. There was no explanation, just a flat refusal. Also be aware that any return is for store credit only, not an actual refund. On top of that, Fashion Nova never posts the negative reviews I have submitted, which is very telling. If you shop here, make sure to read the bad reviews, not just the good ones, because that is where you will see the real patterns. Bottom line: Fashion Nova has trendy styles and constant sales, but quality is inconsistent, sizing is unrealistic for shorter women, returns are store credit only, and customer service is one of the worst I have dealt with. Be cautious, and only spend what you are prepared to lose.

I ordered a couple of dresses and received them on 30.10. One dress was defective, and I made a defect claim on 31.10. I received a confirmation of the claim. They answered me 30.11 "we can not proceed with this request as the claim has to be made within 14 days of delivery"?!?!?!?!?!?! I sent you the claim the next day after the delivery. I have sent them 4 emails ever since, no answer... I have now asked my bank to revoke the payment. I will tell all my artist and performing friends to never order from them. I will make a TikTok as well, as they are literally scamming!

Oct 7, 2025

I'll start by saying that I've made more than 75 purchases from Fashion Nova since 2018, and I have proof to back that up. Recently, I placed an order worth $440, which I never received. I contacted their customer service, and Fashion Nova told me that it wasn't their problem and that they aren't responsible for a missing package. However, in reality, the merchant is responsible for the order until it is received by the customer. If the package is not received, the merchant must refund the customer. Since they made no attempt to help me, I contacted the Consumer Protection Office in my country (Canada). They advised me to contact my bank and file a chargeback request, which I did. After that, Fashion Nova reached out to me, suddenly claiming they wanted to help, but since there was already an active chargeback request, they said there was nothing they could do. Now, I placed another order afterward, and I received it yesterday. My order was missing one of the sets I purchased and instead included a pair of boots — which I never ordered at all! I contacted customer service again, and so far, I still haven't received any response from them. I'll probably have to contact my bank again to dispute the missing item. This is theft, Fashion Nova! See the photos below. The item I originally ordered was a pants and top set, but instead, I received a pair of boots!

I wish i read the review online before ordering. I took the chance as I've ordered online from accounts I found on instagram and got great service. But their business ethics is just unacceptable! They are scamming everyone online claiming that their package will arrive in 5-7 days and if doesn't its stuck in "customs" when it never even got shipped. Ive contacted them several times and get nothing but excuses and no responsibility on their side. They have no problem taking your money, but have issues helping you out or actually giving you what you paid for.

Horrible customer service
March 17, 2016

Sent me a cheaper pair of shoes than the ones I ordered. Would give me a credit after I returned shoes, but expected me to pay a minimum of $10 to ship back to them - which they would not refund. Since the error was on their part, I expected they would provide me with a prepaid return shipping label like most respectable companies. I read other people were promised credit and never received, so I decided to cut my losses and not return shoes, I will never trust this company and do business with them again.

UPDATE:

Kim from FashionNova contacted me and expressed the companies willingness to correct the situation, She has forwarded to me a prepaid shipping level and has extended a discount on my next purchase. I appreciate her efforts to resolve their error, even though I feel that it would not have been addressed had I not complained on social media.

I am returning the shoes today! Thank you SiteJabber

FRAUD!
March 11, 2016

My card info was stolen & used on this website multiple times. I called them about 10 different times not only did they not answer not once. I tried contacting them several other ways and never heard back from them. My account was blocked because the bank said they kept trying to run more charges on my account! I've never even heard of them until this happened. Nothing but a garbage website. My question is why would they keep trying to charge my account at different amounts unless they knew it was stolen information! Frauds! I will be letting everyone know about this "company".

Never received items/ NO update
March 1, 2016

I ordered my items almost two weeks ago and after 3 days my tracking information never updated, it was stuck at preshipment so I started to wonder where my package was because usually the 2 day shipping is accurate. I have never had a problem with receiving my items until now. Due to my experience I would not consider Fashion nova is not a reputable company so beware ordering from them. I reached out to them multiple times and they keep promising me an update but provided none. If they don't rectify the situation soon I plan to contact my bank.

FRAUD.
February 19, 2016

NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING ONLINE. I purchased items online about four weeks ago. I received an email stating that my items were shipped. Two days after being "shipped" I received an email stating that my item was unavailable and was given a gift card for the price of that item. After writing emails back and forth with customer service I was denied a refund as they do not issue you refunds (well you charged me for an item that was not in stock). I decided to drop the situation and went on to purchase another item using that gift card. I then again received an email stating my item had been shipped and then two days later after being shipped I was told that the item was unavailable and was issued ANOTHER gift card. I called in and spoke to gentleman who let me know that they do not issue refunds but do to my unique situation he would send a request to the manager asking for a refund. The gentleman than put me on hold for two minutes and then hung up on me. 24hrs had passed and I still was not issued a refund so I called again today, and spoke to the same gentleman on the phone who identified that I should get a refund as the request was sent through...

Don't purchase from this compay!

I ordered the Tracy and Riley dress on 8/11/15. I wore each dress once. One was worn while running errands and the other while out at a tapas bar. I washed each dress on 9/3/15 (following the directions on the tags) and both dresses now show streaks in the fabric. I rewashed the dresses on 9/4/15 and they are still showing streaks in the fabric. It's unfortunate, especially since the dresses were not dirty or stained; I just wanted to refresh the dresses after a long wear. I've never seen rayon react this way to hand washing and being laid flat to dry. I contacted the retailer on 9/4/15 along with the BBB. The retailer only offered the usual customer service script and only offered me a $10 gift card for two ruined dresses valued at $57.98! Do no but from this company! Every thing from the fake reviews on their site, the fact that they delete and edit reviews under 5 stars; their piss poor packaging and rigid return policy is a lesson learned for me. They don't deserve any more of my money and they do not deserve your money either.

Ordered two pairs of jeans from this website. Online tracking was made super easy. When arrived, the jeans were exactly as described and perfect fitting. I would certainly recommend this website:-)
