“Failed to forward items or returned money”

Eileen M.

During February 2023 I ordered 3 items a few days apart and never received them. Wanelo took the money from my credit card and frequent request to track and find my items went unanswered. I still have not received the over $200.00 in merchandise. WANELO STOLE my money. Incident was reported to BBB. NO ONE FROM WANELO CUSTOMER SERVES EVER RESPONDED OR RESOLVED THE SITUATION.

“UNACCEPTABLE”

I bought shoes and a sweater over 5 months ago from Wanelo and they still have not communicated with me as to where the hell my items are. They have poor customer service support. It's the same tired message about the system being down but like dude it's been well over a month now. You should have fixed the issue by now. The holidays are coming up and you're going to miss out on a lot of money due to your lack of effort.

In the beginning I had some issues but then realized it's certain SELLERS on there you have to stick to. I myself have 3 and only 3 I use. I absolutely love them and the now know me well! There has been site glitches lately I cannot see the " Magic" feed anymore which makes me SO SAD! However I find my way to New merchandise as best as possible! Thank you Wanelo and sellers for making me a happy girl!

I order from Wanelo all of the time! Never had an issue but I always make sure to read the reviews of the store and product before buying. You get what you pay for! For example the $30 you pay for a LV 3k purse isn't going to be the same quality. It looks the same but quality is different. Overall never had problems with them.

I got my gucci belt and it was amazing. Some thought they were fake but little did they know it was 100% real. There are some serious bargins. When my friend told me about the site i couldnt belive my eyes. Yes some say its fake, but they think its bad because they arent optomistic...

I ordered a bag and it was somehow " lost" by USPS. I contacted them via email and received a reply within two days. I sent multiple emails and received a reply each time. I have received my order and it was replaced by the seller. Don't know what happened to the first one as the last scan showed it in Houston.

I use it almost constantly! I make stories all the time and it really is just so fun. Also, I ordered a pair of sunglasses their and the site tracked it for me. It came exactly when it was supposed to. I love using it for multi-store wishlists, and shopping from the wanelo-fulfilled sites (where you can also get free shipping). It's really great!

When errors occur, there is a small timeframe to get things in order before you have lost a customer forever. This is something that Wanelo has mastered, and I am 100% in favour of this company due to how they turned my problem into a solution.

Now don't get me wrong, I had some major hiccups along the way, and at one point I was highly dissappointed. However, it was the manner in which my problem was handled that made me highly respect and recommend this company to others (I have a big mouth, so word has gotten out!).

Upon notifying the Wanelo support staff that my shipment was WAY overdue it's estimated ship date, they sprung into action. They didn't just provide me with the tracking information that was on their site, but instead reached out to the shipper directly to assess the problem. I was assigned a support staff member (the wonderful Monica- if you get her, you are so incredibly lucky), and she was most professional and an avid communicator. I was getting multiple updates and she made me feel like I wasn't just some small order (which was exactly what I was in the grand skeem of things). She provided me with more than one option so I could pick what solution was best for me. And alas, within a meer 72 hours of reaching out to them, a delightful package arrived!
I could not be more pleased with my experience on Wanelo. They have a customer for life!

Tip for consumers:
Wanelo was quick to email me back when I had concerns. Utilize this, and don't be scared to ask for more help if you need it.

Hi Missy! I am sorry to hear you have not been updated on the status of the 4 dresses you ordered! We have definitely had items re-shipped to new addresses in the past, and I can see in your last email there is an updated US address. I will be sure to follow up with the Support agent who you are communicating with to be sure we can make this happen for you!

I love Wanelo! My only complaint is that recently when I was organizing everything and separating my Epic Wishlist into more specific collections, I wasn't able to select more than one product at a time to move into a different collection. So I would have to hold the product, select 'move' and move it into the collection I wanted it in every single time, and it got very tedious. I'd love if there was an option to select a bunch of products at once to move into a different collection, it'd be super helpful!

In the past I had some troubles getting through to customer service, but after writing my original review, I immediately had someone reach out to me from the company. She gave me answers in a timely matter as well as great follow up. It completely changed my whole perspective and will continue to shop on the site!

In the end, I do believe they have great customer service!

I have purchased several items from Wanelo and the sellers have been very prompt to get the merchandise out. It takes a while to ship but its worth it at the end :) I give them 5****

Love the sweater! Very cute and cozy. Three quarter sleeves and they do not roll down. Slightly easy to snag on things, but very warm. Love it! Would recommend for the great price!

I ordered a pink and white striped maxi dress in a M/L from LOVE123 sold thru Wanelo on 4/8/16. The dress was very similar to another one I had purchased from FillyFlair.com about 6 months ago in Aqua/Black. I had researched LOVE123 prior to placing my order because I was concerned that it may be similar to one of those Rosegal or DressLilly scam sites where you order something and get a cheap knock off version from China. I found out that they were located in San Francisco so I felt pretty safe ordering. According to Wanelo my order would ship between 10-20 days. On April 12,2016 I got a shipping notification but imagine my surprise when the originating shipping location was Shenzen, China. My first reaction was, "Oh no! I just got scammed. Ugh, I'm going to have to dispute my credit card charge." So, I waited for my package and it arrived on Fri., 4/16/16. I opened it up expecting some poorly cut dress, two sizes too small made from cheap fabric but what I got was EXACTLY what I wanted. Though the sash that goes around the waist is a little shorter than pictured, the dress fits great and I am extremely happy with my purchase! Thanks Wanelo for exceeding my expectations!

Wanelo is the way to go! Great APP for a fast and easy ordering of a lot of cool stuff. I had a great experience so far with Wanelo using Due diligence. Sure it's not a store but a collection of stores. I see a lot of bad comments and reviews here that pay it no justice. People have to do their homework when shopping anywhere online. Wanelo really is a great source to do your shopping on.

I actually brought alot of things so far I've received my Chanel sweater which is awesome the fit is great, the material is of good quality & the zippers on the side add and extra kick to the sweater, it'll be a great fall sweater when it's cold. I also received my gold arrow lariat necklace it's simple but cute i like it alot.
