I have recently discovered Joyfolie site as I was looking for a dress for my upcoming trip. I ordered a dress, but when it has arrived and ended up being too tight in the arms area, so I wanted to return it for a refund. When I contacted customer service they told me that I can only get store credit, because I have use the coupon for my order and it considered final sale. I was not happy about it, but did as I was asked. Once I got back from my trip and received my store credit minus return shipping I placed a new order with some other items since I didn't need the dresses any longer and it took me time to find something instead of the dress I thought I could use, only to find out the these items are huge in size and horrible quality. I contacted customer service again in hope that I can return these items for a refund, because there is absolutely nothing I like on there website at the moment to exchange my items too. And they responded with the same general message that it is there only return policy and they only can do store credit for me. Horrible. So basically there is no customer service whatsoever, just general message about info I already know. No resolving of a problem in reality. Now I am stuck with another return and store credit minus return shipping fee. I wish I would have read reviews before my purchase as I would have never done this mistake.
The hook: They intentionally inflate original prices and offer site wide sales to negate their obligation to issue refunds for items purchased. It is all about profit and moving inventory instead of customer satisfaction. Repeat or satisfied customers is not their business objective, only volume derived from unknowing first time purchasers. No risk on their part, all on the consumer. Each time I asked about this deceptive marketing strategy, they blatantly avoided a response by referring to their return policy they pointed out is located on their website 24/7 for all to see if looked for. (I see they responded similarly in reviews here when others called them out on this. They truly think their flowery BS responses come off as genuine and sincere! HA!) As you can see by the many reviews, most customers simply give up and accept the financial loss, as it is not worth the additional hassle and further expense. They proudly operate with no integrity, as there is always another first time "buyers fool" (such as myself) who fails to search for honest reviews prior to purchase, l truly hope this review saves many their hard earned dollars and extreme disappointment. There are too many ethical companies to purchase from that earn and deserve the business.
In my case, I had a large order which included 4 items all in the same size. Not ONE fit me, either they were too small or too large. The sizing can not be trusted. When I emailed the company, they replied …As a "courtesy" they reviewed my order. What? Isn't that your job? As another "courtesy" they sent me a return label, (which they pointed out they never do-gave a courtesy star for that)) so I may return the items (for them to sell and profit from again. Pretty good gig, wouldn't you say?) I am stuck with a large store credit I will probably never use because of the vicious cycle of additional shipping expense and zero confidence anything will fit. They believe offering a sales consultant to help me with "my sizing" to find something I could settle with to use up my credit is generous! I find it insulting! If they really were interested in operating as an ethical company, they would have amended and adopted business practices to reflect this, given the incredible number of negative experiences reported regarding their return and refund policies.
Hello Denise, We apologize for any frustration that our return process has caused. The variety of items chosen may not fit the same based on the style and designs. It looks like a Fashion Consultant has been working with you to ensure we get you a good fit on your items and assist with your shipping. There are so many larger E-commerce businesses that automatically supply returns and refunds on all of their products and we realize this has become the normal expectations for consumers. We always pass along customer concerns to our team as we work towards future development plans.
This was my first order from Joyfolie, and I will never order from them again. I ordered multiple earrings on sale (meaning non-returnable), and almost all of them arrived broken and completely useless. Money down the drain.
Hello Meg, We are so sorry to hear there was an issue with the delivery of your accessories. Joyfolie will always take care of any defective items, so there is no need to worry. One of our Fashion Consultants is reaching out to see how we can further assist.
Ordered a dress for my daughter for family vacation pictures at the beach. The order arrived quickly and the dress was lovely. It was snug in the waist so was not going to work. I checked out the return policy and was shocked at all of the hoops I would have to jump through plus the fact that because I used a discount code I would only be able to get a size exchange or store credit. Well the size of the dress was already the largest size for girls. I reached out through the website's chat and was reminded of their policies. I explained how that wasn't helpful since my daughter wouldn't be able to fit into other products and was told to try a woman's size! That is not a helpful solution. They stuck to their not up with the times refund policy and now I am stuck with this pricey purchase. Not worth jumping through hoops and hassles to get store credit that I can't use. I am shocked that an online retailer does not have a better policy for returns. It does not appear that they value customer satisfaction as I am clearly dissatisfied.
Hello Christy, Thank you for your feedback. We are definitely sorry that your dress did not work out for your Family pictures. Some designs have a more fitted bodice, while others are more whimsy and loose in nature. Joyfolie offers many different styles and has several new collection releases throughout the month. We would be happy to assist in finding a new piece that would work for your daughter.
I bought this dress for a photo shoot for my daughter. We have bought many Joyfolie dresses but this is my favorite. Love the color and detail. Stunning.
Hi Keila, We are loving this cutie in her Evony Dress <3 She is picture perfect! Thank you for being a part of our Joyfolie Family!
Purchased 3 full priced Girls dresses for a total of $162. Returned all 3 promptly for a cost of $20. Received a $106 store credit, because I used a promo code. So now I have been ripped off for $182 and have nothing but a gift card that I do t want
Hello Heather, Our promotional codes are available for those customers who want to take advantage of an additional discount. When these savings are selected our customers, in turn, are allowed size exchanges or store credit as an acceptable form of return if needed. We provide our return policy on our website, as well as, during the entire checkout process, but it sounds like these might have been missed prior to your purchase. Looking further into your return, there was a discrepancy of the items included causing the incorrect store credit issuance. We have reached out to further assist and take care of your return concerns.
Shopping and delivery experience was great. Best of all was the quality of product received and my baby looking stunning in her photos.
Hello Ianie, We are definitely lucky to have you apart of our Joyfolie Family! Her happy carefree spirit in the new Lauryl Dress is perfect. Thank you for the positive vibes <3
I paid for 2 day shipping. My item was delivered 5 days later. CS says processing time is not included in shipping times and can be up to 5 days. No one pays for two day shipping thinking they'll get it 7 days later.
Hello Rebecca, I totally understand your frustration. It is understandable that not every new customer will read our policies. We currently do not provide weekend order fulfillment as we work with a third-party warehouse who is closed during that time. Just to give a better explanation, your order was placed on Sunday and was fulfilled on Monday, our next business day. The shipping process started on Monday and is scheduled to deliver on Wednesday. This is within the 2-day timeframe of the expedited method chosen at checkout. We offer these delivery methods for our fulfillment times only. We are working to update our checkout process to provide more clarity around our business hours. I apologize that this has caused any disappointment. It looks like a member of our team has reached out.
This dress is exactly as pictured on the website. The quality is spot on. I cant wait for my 10 year old daughter to wear this.
Hello Tracy, We are so glad that you are loving your Catrin. This is definitely one of our top-selling maxi dresses. Your daughter is sure to feel like a princess in this style. Thank you so much for leaving a review <3
According to their chart I'm M. I'm 5.5', 130 lb. ordered dress M size and it's big. The quality of the fabric is very cheap. I will be returning. I wish I read all these reviews before purchasing. They moderate all negative reviews on their website. Now I will get only credit and have to purchase something again.
Hello Tetiana, I am so sorry the quality on your purchase was not as expected. We absolutely take a look at our reviews to see what our customers are experiencing so we can assist them further. Typically, if there is a sizing concern we will audit the item you have received to see if the measurements are matching the spec designs and take care of you from there. We will be contacting you to provide additional support.
I was hesitant to shop at Joyfolie because there are TONS of bad reviews out there, but most of them pertain to their understandably unpopular return policy so I decided to order one outfit on sale instead of placing a large order to begin with, knowing that I would end up with store credit if it didn't work out. The package arrived four days after ordering, which was great, and the outfit (a matching burgundy skirt and top) in terms of quality AND fit definitely exceeded expectations. I got an XL (I'm 5'10) and the items fit like a dream (and the maxi skirt is long enough for me which is a BIG DEAL) and seem to match the measurements listed on the website. I've ordered a lot of clothes online lately and sizing is always sketchy and fit is almost always subjective so I've had to return a lot of items. It's very nice to find a website that fits my figure without me having to spend a bunch of time altering items to make them fit. I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely order from them again.
Hello Chelsea, We really appreciate your fit feedback. I totally agree, personal style is definitely subjective and can make online shopping difficult. We are here to assist in the decision making :) Feel free to use our online live chat during business hours Monday through Friday for any support. Thank you so much for trying us out!
I have been shopping with joyfolie for going on two years now and when I first started shopping with them, the quality was FANTASTIC, the styles were cute, and the sales made the clothing affordable. In the past year I have noticed a decline the quality of the items. I have received multiple deflective items, which the fashion consultants have always been super helpful with. However, it is SO frustrating to have this continue to happen. I am constantly told that this never happens... but it has happened to me a significant amount. I will admit I order A LOT from them. Maybe it is due to the amount of items that I purchase? The thing that also is a bummer is they give you store credit. You can never just get a refund for anything. I understand the reasoning behind that... but at what point is their accountability for what is going on? It also takes 7-10 days to receive your credit. Which seems EXCESSIVE. I recently was offered a credit, but could not use it on a $500+ order. I received the credit literally the next day. Will the adjust the balance on my order? Absolutely not. I know the staff is small and they want to give off the boutique vibe, which i LOVE. I love that it is a group of women, which was the major appeal to me, however, I don't feel like the customers carry any value with the company. I hope as they continue on (which i absolutely hope they do) that some of these policies change and exceptions are made when they need to be. The styles are very cute and the idea behind the company is great. Just some kinks that still need to be worked out, along with better quality control of items.
Hello Kat, First of all, We can't thank you enough for being a long time supporter of Joyfolie. All of your lovely comments have been very much appreciated throughout the years.

Please know we have reached out again to assist you further.
Beware... if you buy anything with any discount code you will only receive store credit. If it was clearances I get it but not items on sale.
We love to treat our customers with special promotional opportunities. For those customers who like to participate in additional discounts and savings on their items, you have the option of applying our current promotional code. Once any items are discounted we allow store credit or size exchanges for those products so you can get the right fit or choose something entirely new that will work better for you. Please feel free to visit our website FAQ's or use our Live Chat option during business hours if you have any questions on our policies and promotions. We are always happy to assist.
I am new to the joyfolie family and have only purchased 2 items so far. I had to send an item back due to a sizing issue. The items themselves are fantastic quality and so unique. Upon trying to return the item, I came across a few issues (my end of things) and they were happy to respond and help me figure out the best way to accommodate me. When I shop online this is the kind of service I look for... especially when I am trying out a new shop! I will definitely be giving my business to them in the future!
Hello Lauren, Thank you so much for your lovely review of our customer service. We are so delighted to have you as a part of our Joyfolie Family. If ever there are any immediate concerns or questions always free to use our live chat during business hours. We look forward to bringing you many more signature designs in the future<3
At a friends recommendation, placed an order 1/2/2021. As a first time customer, struggled to decide on a few items between all of the adorable stuff to test the quality and fit. Narrowed it down to three dresses my daughter.
Eleven days later, get an email saying "we're sorry, but we oversold everything and can't find ANYTHING comparable in size 7 across our entire shop". We'll refund you're money in 7 - 10 days. As a gift, here is a coupon for $20 off $50 that you have to use within 90 days.
As a first time customer, I find that embarrassing and insulting. If you couldn't find ANYTHING comparable in the size I ordered, why in the world would that be a "gift". Oh, and that "gift" can't be used on anything that is on sale or discounted.
The every day sales/coupons end up being a better deal than this "gift".
After reading the reviews here, I'd say I may have lucked out on getting a (full) refund rather than store credit.
You are absolutely justified with your sentiments. This was definitely a rare issue and not the kind of first impression we would want for you as a new customer. Occasionally a piece will go out of stock and we do not have another size, nor color in the same product to offer a replacement. We depend on our third-party warehouse to keep an accurate account of our inventory and they have made some extreme errors recently that has caused your out of stock order and a lengthy delay with relaying this information to us. We absolutely want to turn this experience around for you as we value all of our customers. My sincere apologies that this was not handled better. We will inform our team so we can all learn from this unique situation. Thank you for your feedback. We will be in contact!
I ordered earrings & two belts one with rhinestones. The rhinestone one was missing one large rhinestone on arrival. I sent an email to the company and they quickly sent out a replacement. Madeline Anne gave great customer service and this is the kind of interaction that makes me happy to recommend this site to others.
We appreciate you taking the time to comment on our service levels. Madeline is truly a great support for our team and our customers! We definitely apologize for the defective item upon arrival and thank you for allowing us to take care of you during this experience. We are lucky to have wonderful customers like yourself!
I had a great experience with them... everything came out correctly, no issues and very fast delivery! I order Tuesday night and I got my stuffs today earlier! I read the reviews here after I purchased and I was about to freak out, because it has a lot of bad reviews and almost all of them are related to the same problem. But my experience was different!
Hello Wendy, Thank you for telling us about your experience! If ever there are any concerns we always suggest reaching out to our team to see how we can further assist. We definitely want our customers to be delighted with their visit to Joyfolie <3
There is No Way of communicating with anyone except through email and be prepared to be ignored if u have any issues.
Over $1,000 in multiple orders... around Christmas time.
Feeling ill from the lack of customer service...

We apologize for the weekend delay in responses as our customer service team provides support during business hours Monday through Friday. We absolutely appreciate your patience and patronage as we continue to assist you further with this order.
I received the loveliest email regarding a dress being out of stock. They gave me a couple of options based on the choice I had made. I purchased one of them and not only did they give me free expedited service but also applied a new discount that had happened since my new order. Love these people. Unfortunately the Dress that came was much too small in the upper arms, so it has to go back. Hope my new order to replace with another dress comes before Christmas.
Hello Kathryn, Thank you so much for the kind words. We know that most of our Joyfolie customers use our products for special occasions and photoshoots. We absolutely hate delivering this disappointing news, so we attempt to assist in the best way we possibly can. I am so glad you were able to purchase another item that would work for you. One of our Fashion Consultants is reaching out to take a look at your sizing concerns!
I recently bought a dress that was over $100.00 for my daughter and they sent me a size 14 instead of a size 10 that is clearly stated on my receipt. They asked me to send pictures of the packaging, the dress and the tag? Why? You wronged me? But I sent the pictures anyways and now I can't get a response from anyone. It's been a week and nobody will respond to my emails as it's the only way to communicate with them. Very disappointed and will never shop here again. They lost a loyal customer!
Hello Dorinda, I am so sorry our warehouse sent the wrong size dress. Unfortunately this can happen on occasion. We do request pictures so we can identify the exact issue in order to provide a resolution specific to your situation. I see that our Fashion Consultants have been assisting with this process; however, it seems like you may have missed some of our communication. I am going to send a private message here as well to see how I can continue to provide service. We definitely want to take care of you!
