This place is unprofessional and their customer service is not just poor it is non existent! How can you run a reputable business and not even have valid phine contact? We have been emailing since week of mar 20th and still no answers! We ordered a prom dress that they "accidentally" cancelled we sent email after email to no avail! We need the dress so we re order that same day and instantly our account was charged but order said it was "processing" we check later and that evening and next day. Still "processing"! Site says 2-10 days for refund so we wait for that and receivr after 10 days. Still not one reply regarding our new order! Well except the automated were busy helping customers! Not from what I see online reviews. Thanks for ruining my daughters prom! Wish we would have never used them. And I hope you don't waste your time or money! Be careful of business with NON-existent customer service. It's only good until it gets bad... And then your on your own. Which is sad and unprofessional

TERRIBLE
April 6, 2016

A month later and 5 emails to their "customer service," no help in finding my product. Horrible in every way-- yet they managed to take my money the day of the submitted order. Unprofessional.

I've forgotten my Wanelo password & emailed them directly about 10 times now for a reset (the "reset password" link never works - I've never been sent a reset email), & Customer Service has STILL not emailed me back, not once in over a month. Who the hell even WORKS in their Customer Service dept?!? Horrifying lack of service. Seriously the worst.

Hi Robin! Thanks for reaching out! I checked on your emails and I see our support rep, Theo, had emailed you back on March 31st but I'm thinking this email went into a Spam folder? I'll ask him to follow up so we can get this figured out for you!

This website is a sham. I recently ordered a necklace from them and the order has been "processing" for nearly two weeks. They claim it takes 5-10 business days to receive an item, yet my item apparently hasn't even been shipped yet. (They certainly had no problem charging my credit immediately though.) I've since sent them several emails and left a voice message. (That's another thing--they never actually answer their phone. You just have to leave a message.) Everything about this company is shady-shady-shady. I will never order from them again.

Hi Jennifer! I definitely understand this is a frustrating experience and I'd like to help figure out what is going on with your order. Typically if an order has been processing for longer than 10 days, the store forgot to update the tracking information which we can help get for you. I'll send you a private message to get your order number so I can reach out to the store asap!

Ordered an item over 50 days ago and tracking indicates that it is "preparing to send" from china. It's been with that status for over a month now. I have emailed upwards of 10 times. No response at all.

Hello Sasha! This is definitely something I'd like to check and help you with! Based on your review, the item was ordered around the Chinese New Year, this is a two-week holiday for our Chinese vendors and there may be some orders that were not updated. I will send you a private message for more information so we can have this fixed for you as soon as possible!

Hi June! I am sorry to hear of this experience. We try our very best to resolve issues as quickly and as hassle free as possible. I did check our records and noticed one of our representatives sent you two emails in February asking for more information but there was no reply so the case was resolved. It is possible our replies are going straight to your spam folder. Either way I'll definitely be sending you a private message so I can help get this resolved for you! Thanks so much!

Review credits
March 24, 2016

I was told I would get a $5 credit added to my account when i reviewed the product that I bought and included certain information. To get the $5 credit, apparently I need to email a link of my review to Wanelo? How am I supposed to do that if the only way to access reviews is on the ios app? Theres no way to get a link for that.

Hi Hayley! Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry if the requirements for the $5 credit was confusing. We actually ask that you send us the link to the product that you left the review for and not the actual review. With the product link, we can then go check the review to be sure it fits the criteria. I'll also check on the wording of that email so we can make it's super clear about what needs to be submitted.

HORRIBLE QUALITY!
March 14, 2016

I ordered a yoga 'coloring book'. It turned out to be photocopies of photocopies that have been stretched and distorted to fit the page. Several pages had fuzzy markings, or completely discolored pages. The last few images were not even the same subject matter or style. Any company that would sell such garbage must not want to be successful. I want my money back, and an apology.

3/25. I was asked to send pictures 10 days ago, which I did. Still no reply and no refund. Apparently poor service along with crap products.

I've made about 4 purchases on wanelo and everytime I have to email them 2-3 times to find out whats going on with my order. When you first buy something, the order says it's processing. The processing always takes more than 10 days and won't ship until I email wanelo asking them if it has shipped yet. With my most recent purchase the processing part and preparing to ship part after i emailed them a couple times took a whole month until it actually started the shipping process. I don't know if anyone else has this problem but it's just annoying.

Hi Erica! Thanks for reaching out to us. I do agree waiting for information on orders can be a bit frustrating, and I apologize you had to experience on mulitple purchases as we work very hard to ensure stores on Wanelo ship their products out as quickly as possible. Either way, I will be sending you a private message for more info on your order so I can give you a real time status and we can have it resolved as quickly as possible.

Hello, I am a seller on Wanelo, Sexy Diva Clothing and I have an amazing experience with them. I ship my items the same or next day to my customers and when there is a problem with an item the customer usually contacts me directly from my website email and I take care of it ASAP. Here is a tip for Buyers because I purchase from Wanelo also. If you do not hear back from the Seller about shipping or stock in 48 Working hours contact wanelo and they will contact the Seller. Wanelo stands by their Website and your purchases100%. It is a Seller's Marketplace and unfortunately just like Ebay and Amazon not all Sellers are going to care about their customers but most of the Sellers on Wanelo are Outstanding.

Hello Roberta! Thank you for reaching out to us and I'm sorry about the delay in getting back to you! I can see since you posted this that the items were in fact refunded to you on March 19th and it typically takes between 2 and 10 business days to see the amount back in your account. If you don't see the amount after that, shoot us an email and we can check it out for you!

Terrible
March 4, 2016

I have recently made two purchases on this website, both were over a week ago. The money for both items has been taken out of my account; however, I have not received a confirmation email regarding either items nor have they shown up in my purchases. I emailed three days ago, and still have yet to get a response.

As a seller on Wanelo. I am currently not happy at all. I have contacted Wanelo's support team 3 times already because for some reason I am having issues with how my products are showing certain things in stock when they are not and I have the Wanelo app installed on my store. I have lost two orders already. Everytime I send an email, I get an automated message saying they are currently only responding to seller payment issues. That just makes me feel like I don't matter one bit as a seller on their site and my issue isn't important. I am going to remove their app from my store. I would rather sell on Bonanza. NOT HAPPY AT ALL! If I could give a -% rating I would.

Another wanelo shopper who wrote a review named Tracy that you recently responded to is in the same dilemma as I. I ordered a prom dress on February 13 and it's still processing and it's March 1. She said a month later they emailed her saying it was out of stock. I ordered my dress on time for my prom in April and I expect it to be here before prom. What if I get a email saying its out of stock like Tracy did. I have sent out numerous emails and have been ignored. I'm extremely frustrated with the whole situation and would love to talk to someone via call since my emails are being ignored. You can reach me at *******821. My product number is *******. Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

IRRITATING!
March 1, 2016

I find it extremely irritating and frustrating that in order to look at their products to find something I like I have to sign up for the site. That's ridiculous. I have been asked about this site multiple time and every time this is the first issue I mention. Don't force your customers to sign up. If you want more subscribers it might be better to let them order something first and then let them sign up if they are satisfied.

Hi Mint! Thanks for posting your review. The reason we want you to sign up is because one of the best parts of Wanelo is that once you sign up and start saving products to collections, your feed of related products gets even better! We love that we can help you discover products you'll love but never knew existed just by the touch of a button. I hope this helps shed some light but if you still have questions, please email us at [email protected] and we'd be happy to help out!

I am absolutely disgusted with the customer service and lack of communication. This website is an absolute scam. I ordered a shirt weeks ago and even got a confirmation email. My card was charged the amount yet when I go to the website and check my purchases, it says I have purchased nothing. I have emailed multiple times, called for the past 2 weeks and it has either been busy, or a dead end. Do not ever buy from this site.

Hi Darby! I was able to find your order history and actually see that your order was placed successfully and already has a tracking number so I'm not sure why you aren't seeing the same. I'll have one our supervisors follow up with you right away so we can learn more about what's going on. This is definitely not an issue we've experienced before so we'll want to know as much as possible to prevent it from happening again. Look out for my private message, I'll send it shortly!
