Annie Cloth Reviews
There is an armada of negative reviews at TrustPilot regarding Annie Cloth.
Remember how the Annie Cloth vision statement claimed that their take pride in their superb customer service, well take a look at the 5 most recent negative reviews we found:
Rosyln Blue – “I am so disappointed, it’s been 30 since I ordered my items. However, my bank asured me they could get my money back. I have never ran into this before. The banjy will handle writing a fraud claim.”
Ginny Lehner – “I ordered five items and have received two so far. The coat isn’t ANYTHING like the picture on their website. It’s an ugly cheap teal knit fabric (instead of green) with a blurry pattern PRINTED on instead of machine embroidered as pictured. The label “MISLOOK was even sewn in the neck upside down. The scarf is worse if that’s possible. Instead of leaf appliqués as shown, it had leaves printed on the same ugly fabric the coat was made of. Part of the leaf pattern was actually cut off and the main seam at the bottom of the scarf had a six inch seam that hadn’t been sewn shut. I have repeatedly tried to get ahold of Anniecloth and I get shuffled back to the same page that I started with. I have sent messages through their customer service webpage and have heard NOTHING from them. They send one item every two weeks knowing that you won’t spend the high shipping cost to send one item at a time back to them and they only have a two weeks return policy. Do NOT buy from this company!Their items are cheap poorly made knockoffs. If I could give them minus five stars I would. This is a scam!”
Lily Langtree – “I have also had problems with this company and just filed a complaint against them with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at 877-382-4357. The more people that file complaints will help the FTC with their investigation of this sham company and their unsavory business practices. Report each and every problem that you have had to provide the FTC with the most ammunition to shut these scammers down. As part of my complaint, I told the FTC about this website and asked them to look into it and add the reviews on the Trustpilot.com website to their investigation. REPORT THESE SCAMMERS!”
Joy Diamond – “Waited almost a month for My item. Very disappointed in quality of item. Overpriced and not as described. Will never order from them again. Comes from China not Britain as inferred”
Mary Pat Jones – “I had my doubts – you get what you pay for – and my doubts were correct. The sweaters I ordered were way too small. There is no way I can wear them.”
These reviews we found at TrustPilot.

Shared below are some relative complaints we came across:
Connee S. – “I placed an order a week ago. Never received it. Only received a paypal receipt. The receipt is to an individual at another company “*****@chicv.com”. Never received an email from anniecloth.com stating that: we confirmed your order, here is your order number, your order has been shipped, your tracking number. Nothing. I sent an email to anniecloth.com and got the runaround. What is your order number? If I had an order number, I’d give it to them. They have not responded to additional emails. SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE; DON’T ORDER FROM THEM. Copy the URL above and share with your family and friends. Mommy used to say “if it looks to good to be true, it usually isn’t” – true dat”
Monica M. – “I ORDER 3 LONG DUSTERS AND RECEIVED ONE. HOWEVER IT’S VERY VERY CHEAP MATERIAL, IT LOOK LIKE PAJAMAS AND TO SMALL. NOT TO MENTION, THE OTHER 2 ITEAMS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND NOT AVAILABLE.

Annie Cloth Scam Review
Annie Cloth is cut from the same cloth as the viral Noracora scam that fleeced several hundred US consumers out of their hard-earned money.
We predict that Chicv International Holding Limited is nothing more than a shell company to further conceal the entities responsible for these retail scams.
Since these shell companies reside outside of US jurisdiction it is beyond our manpower (obviously) to shut these sites down.
Which is why if you have any experiences or insight to share we ask that you please leave it below, the more documented feedback we have regarding Annie Cloth the sooner we can eradicate this scam from existence!
With this in mind, thank you for taking the time to read this review!
If you found this review helpful, feel free to share it so others can be warned against this misleading retail scam.
Another person that got scammed by this sleazy outfit that engages in unethical and deceptive practices when it comes to returns. Not to mention that the quality of the clothing is total crap and not as advertised. Stay away. FAR, FAR away!
***Warning*** Do NOT order from Annie Cloth I spent approximately $150 on 8 items and all but 1 item did NOT fit. After approximately 15 emails (Back & Forth) I was given a return address in China. Per the post office my package will cost approximately $127 to ship back and with the Corona Virus cannot guarantee when they will receive. Bad enough I am out of $150 dollars……. not setting myself up to be out $277 plus add’l money for insurance. Annie Cloth offered me a 30% refund to keep the clothes but they do NOT fit . I requested clothes that fit and 30% for the stress & aggrevation and or full refund which their response was to mail it back. Not sure how this will end up but I can assure you I will NEVER order from them again & suggest you don’t either.
Kudos to the photographer for making there CRAP look good.
I purchased 2 dresses and a pair of earrings from them. They were delivered but do not fit . I want to return them for a reimbursement to my credit card. I don’t have any information on how to do this. There is no receipt in the package. There are two different return addresses on the packages, but I am sure if I should send them to either. Are there any suggestions?
