Tobi Reviews Summary

The company's reputation presents a mixed picture, with notable strengths in product variety and fast shipping, as many customers express satisfaction with the quality and fit of their purchases. However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, with frequent reports of unresponsive support, issues with returns, and dissatisfaction with the quality of some items. While some customers have had positive experiences, the prevalence of complaints about misleading product representations and unprofessional service suggests a need for improvement in customer communication and product consistency. Overall, the brand could benefit from addressing these customer service deficiencies to enhance its reputation.

Beware, I have ordered from this site over the last few years, w/ zero issues. My most recent return (and last) was received by Tobi but was NEVER refunded? I emailed them several time on this topic, but never received any response, besides an automated message saying that someone would be contacting me (and confirming msg was rec'd) and never got any follow up emails. What a rip off and scam. For everyone that likes to online shop, do NOT shop this site... unless you want them to just take your money. Most of my purchases are online and I will be sure to never shop this site again after they decided to keep my money and not respond to my several inquiries of my return/refund. $400 down the drain! I'll be refuting this and be sure to post on several other sites so no one has to deal with this BS. Seriously people - DO NOT SHOP HERE! Awful customer service and now a scam!

Worthless
December 28, 2017

Stay away from this company. I only wish I had read others reviews before I placed an order. My order was placed on December 12th and as of today, December 28th, I still do not have the merchandise. I have sent numerous emails only to receive generic responses back. Supposedly my order was in town 6 days ago however now it shows that its in transit to my town. Please do not support this company. Don't be another victim unless you have a lifetime to wait for your order.

Returns take a month
December 27, 2017

Sent back a return on November 28 and my return still has not been processed even though they said they received it December 12th. They said they have 14 business days to process and dont have a phone number to contact them for a reason. You have to submit a manual request and wait days to hear back.

I use to shop on this site back in early 2016 I'm not sure what happened to them, but their services have declined and they seem to not even be operating a legit business. I ordered a dress weeks ago and still have not received it after paying shipping costs. You are not able to call customer care, but they also do not reply to emails. They have tons of sales which is appealing, but i will NEVER shop here again after this last experience. After reading countless reviews of refunds not being received I'm likely stuck with this dress I may not even get in time for my event.

Return
December 23, 2017

I returned two dresses over a month ago because they were shipped late and I no longer needed them. Tobi has not issued me my money back so I lost $72 and don't even have the two dressed. Will never shop with them again.

Terrible customer service
December 22, 2017

I've always shopped here. Don't know what happened this year. My order was cancelled randomly and when I sent 3 emails asking why no one replied. Till this day I have not gotten any repsonse. Now I won't have any presents for sister in law. The clothes are good but you take a risk with no phone number to call and terrible customer service. I will not shop Tobi again. Try Pretty little things or necessary clothing instead.

AVOID!
December 21, 2017

If you want to give your loved ones gifts for Christmas, DO NOT TRUST THEIR SHIPPING!

No gifts under the tree! Will arrive AFTER New Years even though order placed on 12/13!

Total scammers and liars. Don't respond to emails.

Definitely avoid this one. They send completely the wrong thing and won't refund (even when a return is offered). Very bad customer service.

FALSE ADVERTISING!

I have made a purchase on Dec 13th on your website. During this purchase, it was assured that if I order on that day, the items will surely be delivered to me before Christmas! However, this is NOT THE CASE! I have just checked and tracked my package and the estimated delivery date is 12/27/2017 - 01/02/2018! After Christmas obviously! I will be overseas by that time and the dress that I ordered that I was meant to wear for Christmas day is NOW NOT HAPPENING! I made this purchase as to wear the dress in Christmas and it assured (your website advertised and even confirmed upon checkout) that the delivery will be before Christmas! This is just unbelievable! I will never use and order from TOBI if the services are like this!

Buyer Beware!
December 12, 2017

Never buy from this company! I reached out about an order I placed on cyber Monday which I still have not received. I received one stock email back from a rep and replied and have heard nothing. I reached out via messenger on this page and again heard nothing. The have false adversing on their website about shipping and processing time. If you are thinking about purchasing think twice!

I ordered my item 26 days ago and it cleared customs 20 days ago, but there has been no update on the track my order section and it still hasnt arrived. I contacted customer care a while ago and all they said was it should arrive within 6-8 business days of clearing customs, but I think even then when they sent that reply it had been over that time. I have then replied to that email and attempted to contact them multiple times since then, all of which have been ignored. I ordered my item almost a month ago now, this is getting ridiculous- Im posting this in hopes that someone who works for Tobi sees this and to warn you all do NOT order from this site!

Shipping sucks
December 4, 2017

Love this site and would not give a horrible review. The dresses are cute and fit great however, the amount of time it takes to ship a dress is way too long! After placing an order on November 27th, my clothes have still not been shipped. This site is great and if not in a hurry I would recommend just be prepared for a much longer shipping process then expected.

Shipping
November 30, 2017

Tobi said the dress would be here between the 28th-30th and the dress not only isn't coming but has been in Nevada for a week. I even emailed them and they confirmed it should be here by the 30th before I ordered it to make sure it was here on time.

First and LAST order
November 29, 2017

Still waiting for an order I placed nearly 12 days ago. What they don't tell you is they use Newgistics which is the speed of slower than a snail. My item has been sitting in one warehouse to the next for two days at a time with an update every two to three days. They also gave me a tracking number someone previously used as well to add confusion just for fun. It's a shame cause they have so many cute items but at this point I don't find it fun waiting up to two weeks for an item. No other retail clothing company has ever made me wait this long and for one item. This was a test run purchase and will be the last ever purchase. I hope to receive what I paid for, the customer service has begun ignoring my emails and messages at this point so if I don't get it I have to count it as a loss but I'd stay away from this company. They select the absolute cheapest way to ship to you (Newgistics) knowing full well it will be over two weeks before you see your item, if ever.

PERFECT
November 29, 2017

I ordered my dresses on the 26th and got them on the 28th with express shipping. On the 27th I requested to change the size of one of the dress and the customer service was able to do just that! Overall great quality. They look even better than the pictures. I am very pleased.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE
November 27, 2017

I sent a return a month ago and still have not received anything. I contacted them via email numerous times and the only thing they said was they are behind in returns so I got no where. The clothes look nothing like they say they do, the only thing I kept that I actually liked was two sweaters which were the same style but different colors. They are way over priced for the quality, if you notice its not really 50% off because theres no way the original price makes any sense. Do not order from here especially if you think you might have to return something. They are awful. Go to Lulus or shopdressup.com.

The worst
November 22, 2017

It takes a LOT longer than it says to deliver the order. I am still waiting for my package I ordered two weeks ago. They have no phone number, worst customer service ever! Regret not reading these reviews before ordering from them.

So annoyed
November 16, 2017

So annoyed with this company. The clothes were crappy and I returned them. The sheet says 14 business or so business days for a return, well what they don't tell you is that it doesn't take 14 days. It's when they receive the package.
It's been over 14 business days for me. I've been waiting for a return for 4 weeks now and when I emailed them they said they're still on returns from 7 days before my return and will get to it shortly.

Don't order from here unless you're sure you won't return. Shop somewhere like Lulu's. WAY better
