“Scam”

I ordered in April. Had shipping insurance that they offered at that time. No package received. I've been asking for a refund for months now, it's September. No product and now they send me $2 of my $47 purchase. Scam!

I have employed holler shopping agency twice and both times they have come up with excuses for not to deliver. I've paid for the service twice and no one will give me a refund. Think twice before you hire this company

I placed an order on April 28,2023 and followed the tracking until May 10,2023, when they said that my package was delivered to my community mailbox. My package was never delivered to my community mailbox, I have sent multiple emails with a response from someone named Vivian who keeps sending me the same tracking saying my package has been delivered. This is a scam, I never received my package and they charged my credit card. Don't trust this site!

Tip for consumers:
It’s a scam, there are no products and can’t get ahold of anyone.

Products used:
None, never received them.

Have been ordering quite a few times from Hollar and have gotten remarkable deals in toys for my grandkids Goodie Bags. Also many other great products that are too numerous to mention. Have you tried investing in cryptocurrency, stocks and forex... i implore you to check out BTCPROFITUK. COM for lucrative investment deals. They've got amazing weekly ROI and they are very prompt.

Placed my order in mid April - got a fake silver ring sent in May - after contacting the customer service I was told they just wanted to check if my address is correct - never received the ordered goods - they said they will resend them - now beginning of August I was told goods where delivered in July but I never received anything - not its my fault as I might have given them wrong address LOL - they offered 60% refund of the paid amount, blaiming it on me that I did not get the ordered goods - it's a scam! The whole shopping experience was a waste of time and money!

I paid $27 and got 1.38 refunded. Never received my order. Do not order from them. It's a scam. Prices are to good to be legit.

Ordered in late April and finally received order detail on May 4th. Have not received any tracking updates! It is now May 18th. No response to my emails. Greatly concerned and upset that I took a chance on the company.

I ordered back in May. They provide you with a bogus tracking site. The site says my items were delivered on July 14th. I never received any such package. Now I am getting the run around. Lesson learned I guess.

Placed an order, was sent alleged "tracker" to follow delivery progress, after a month tracker says "Delivered", but not to me! Wrote to them and they apologized and said they will send out again. Waited another month with new parcel Tracker number. Again says "Delivered" Wrote again (BTW all replies begin with Dear,_____nothing! Then they tell me apparently I don't know my own address and because of "Their" suffering a loss they will only refund 60% of my purchase. I have 100% of NOTHING!

I placed my first order tracked the package it said arrived but it was not delivered to my home! I contacted them and they apologized and said they would resend my order! This time they offered to sign for delivery which I agreed! Well I waited and again it says delivered but it was not delivered to me! Was really looking forward to my items but, when it looks like it is to good to be true it usually is!

Purchased items, never received, said they would resend with signature required. They sent and gave me a tracking number, never received again but they said ii did. Back and forth, they finally offered a partial refund, got it up to 90% and they did start a refund, but it was only 4% and I never even got that. They just keep egging you on that they are legit and legal and just play a game. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SCAM COMPANY.

Ordered shoes in March and still no shoes. Was told they delivered in May, but no shoes and post office said they were not out for delivery. Customer service said they would resend with tracking number and I would need to sign for them. Tracking said they were delivered today, but I did not sign for them or receive them. These were summer shoes, I just want my shoes.

I placed an order on 11/22/19 (R******* / H*******361). Hollar sent me an email on 11/26/19 that my order is on it's way. Here it is 12/17/19 and still nothing has been rec'd. Tracking shows my order sitting in Barstow, CA since 11/29/19 with no further updates. I've emailed Hollar twice and put in a claim (via paypal, since that is how I paid). Still no response. I've tried the 888# to no avail. Service can't get much worse than this. Will not order from this company again.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!
Placed an order on May 20th. Supposedly delivered on June 24th. Emailed them, said to check with my neighbors. Emailed that no one has my order. Offered to refund or reship. Told them I wanted a refund. Offered me 50%. Said no, 100%? They kept trying to get me to accept less than 100% saying that they had lost $ too. There was "shipping insurance" on my order so there is no way they are out anything if this was true. They finally agreed to 100%. Got an email that they refunded me $2.58 "to reach my bank within 5 days". Never received. Emailed them again, got another email that they refunded me another small amount. Nothing. Store is now "closed". Can't reach anyone. This is a scam. I knew it was too good to be true. Any reviews saying that they are anything but a scam, are a scam.

I placed an order with Christmas gifts included, on 11/19/19. Emailed support on 11-25-19, still no response. Like others have said, quick to take your money but zero customer service. If I hear back and maybe actually get my order before Christmas I might change this review, but right now I'M NOT HAPPY. As my title says, If you can't keep up with orders, why are you in business?

I placed an order for Christmas gifts. Had to toss 2 items, they were extremely dangerous, They had a rubber band the I tried out and it hurt like crazy,, no way was I giving them to 7 year olds! OUCH! I also purchased a Monster High Jigsaw puzzle, Granddaughter and her dad assembled it, so disappointing, missing two pieces of the puzzle! Also got 2 the train whistle... only one made noise! Got a stuffie that was supposed to work with your cell phone, somehow, needless to say it didn't! I will never purchase another item from this company!

Hollar isn't the same they use to be amazing had such good deals and sales, there's not and much stuff, they don't add new things as often, and most of the stuff I can get at 5 below. Some of the items are over priced. Shipping use to be free if you spent 19$ now it's 35$ some. Wish it would go back to the way it was in December
