First-time Zaful customer, wish I'd read the online reviews (like this one: https://morerealreviews.com/zaful-review-legit-online-fashion-store-scam) first. Their site is confusing and hard to use, and the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand is doing.
I set up my account and confirmed my email address. I then placed my order and submitted payment via PayPal (SO glad I didn't give these guys my credit card info) and received a confirmation that my order would be shipped out. Two days later, I receive an email stating that I needed to remit payment for my item. Having received a receipt from PayPal for completion of my payment, I reached out to the company via the "Message Us" tab on their site. Someone on their end responded to my message, telling me that my items was out of stock.
I then logged into my Zaful account to see what was going on and there's an undated message there that says they need my shipping address confirmed. Note: this was never communicated to me via email. There's also nothing in my Zaful account that shows the item out of stock. I returned to Facebook Messenger, but the person I was talking to suddenly disappeared and stopped responding entirely. I then tried the "Request Refund" button... and the system says I already have a refund being processed?
I'm monitoring this very closely and if I don't receive a confirmation that my order has been canceled and a refund processed, I'll initiate a chargeback via PayPal. This is ridiculously bad communication and customer service.
