Created less than 3 months, Kaylee and Tepid is the latest retail hoax to invade the online marketplace with unfounded home goods.

To learn more regarding WHY you should avoid the KayleeandTepid hoax we invite you to read our honest review.
About KayleeandTepid
Kaylee and Tepid operates as a minimalist retail site.
The site does not delve into their mission statement, who they are or what their alleged purpose may be within the retail niche.
Upon landing at KayleeandTepid.com, consumers are immediately visually engaged and able to see the varying sales featured across their “Best Selling Products.”
From there, consumers can scroll down the page and see a variety of home bedding sets and welcome doormats on sale.
These varying home goods are split up into 6 broad categories:
- Animal
- Sea Animal
- Sport
- Camping
- Book
- Guitar
Those categories can be further broken down into varying home-enriching goods.
Back-tracing products images from KayleeandTepid.com, will reveal that most of the images match product images from previously established online retailers.
This is not the first time we’ve encountered this practice, in fact, it is used by the vast majority of retail scam sites that we’ve previously had the pleasure of exposing.
So while you may see “products” featured for retail at Kaylee and Tepid, nothing is actually for sale.
Contacting KayleeandTepid
Kaylee and Tepid fails to provide identifying information on their site.
Their only form of verifiable contact embodies a contact submission form.
No reference to a corporate entity or telephone number can be found.
Located in the footer of the site is the following address:
24 Rue Jean Moulin, 94260 Fresnes, France
A Google Maps search of the physical address will reveal that the address provided is amongst residential or apartment complexes, we were unable to see any reference or entity referring to Kaylee and Tepid.
Email: kaylee@kayleeandtepid.com
Shipping & Returns
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and PayPal are accepted payment methods.
Many consumers have appeared to adopted the ideology that since an online site supports PayPal that they then, in turn, must be legitimate.
Sadly, as hundreds of consumers have been finding out the hard-way, that is not the case.
A refund policy of 30 days is mentioned in the Return and Refund Policy.
Shipping Times
Product Time: 5 to 7 business days
Processing Time: 1 to 3 business days
Shipping Time: 5 to 10 business days
Order tracking allegedly comes with each purchase order, although as we made known in the past, many similar retail scams have pawned off stolen tracking numbers as their own – we are uncertain if Kaylee and Tepid does this practice but it is best just to be on alert!
Site History
KayleeandTepid.com was privately registered on July 23rd, 2019.
As of October 11th, 2019, KayleeandTepid.com failed to reflect any SimiliarWeb rankings.
This suggests that despite KayleeandTepid’s relatively recent creation that the site, as a whole, does not receive much incoming visitor traffic.
In the past, we’ve seen countless similar discount retail sites funnel hundreds of consumers from social media outlets before really making a notorious name for themselves, we predict that if Kaylee and Tepid does turn out to be a scam that they’ll likely employ similar consumer-attracting practices.

Worst company I’ve ever dealt with. Wish I had see this before ordering. Issued a complaint through Paypal. Seller demanded to get product back before issuing a refund. Cost to send it back to China was more than I paid for the item. Horrible company to deal with. DON’T BUY FROM THEM!
Hopefully Paypy will be able to resolve my dispute with this company. They sent me duvet that is cheap garbage. When I filed a dispute with PayPal
I received an email from Kaylee and Tepid stating I could return the product for a full refund if I shipped it to Shanghai , China.
It came from New Jersey.
We’ll see what happens. They are definitely selling cheap copies of other home goods offered by legit companies and scamming people.
Don’t do business with them.

I orded a duvet cover and it was wrongly addressed even thought the company had confirmed my address by email. I received emails demanding that I contact the courier firm to arrange delivery. This couldnt be done as the parcel ended up as a return to sender due to this wrong addressing from Kaylee and Tepid. Ive sent numerous emails, every 2nd day, asking what is going to happen to my order to no avail. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY.
I ordered a queen bedspread for 110 dollars …. it came yesterday after 1 month. When openeded the delivery inwas so upset! This thing is so thin, and the quality is so bad ! Like its a real joke to sell products like these !
I sure wish I would’ve done my due diligence on this company. I ordered a rug and when it arrived, it was wrapped up in a package, instead of a roll, I knew something was wrong. It was a good size rug! I didn’t even take it out of the package; I just opened it enough to see the material and knew this was more of a mat and not a carpet type rug. I immediately sent them an email wanting a refund and an address where to send this rug. After several days of emailing back and forth, I finally got them to give me a 100% refund but I had to send it back or they would give me a 25% refund and I wouldn’t have to mail it back. They sent me another email(always a day later) to mail it to them in China. I asked if I could mail it to the return address on the label instead, which was California. I asked why China and not California and (day later) their response was that the California address was the warehouse. They wanted it back in China! So off to the UPS store thinking this is not going to be cheap to mail back and sure enough it would cost $108! That’s a little shy of the purchase price. Even if I do the flat rate box at the US Post Office, it would still cost me $60. So, I’ve asked them for the 25% refund and not to have to mail it back. We’ll see if I get that. I think I will reach out to PayPal. They should be aware of this company not want to be associated with them in handling their payments. I would not recommend buying anything from this company.
Thank you, everybody, for posting! I really appreciate everyone sharing their bad reviews. It’s sad to have my dream of an gorgeous elephant duvet blown to shreds, but far better than dealing with the stress and anger of falling for a scam.
I, too, purchased a “rug” and “king size bedspread” from this company. Their website referred to an address in France and the items came from China. Had I known that, I would have passed. I emailed them yesterday to demand a refund and, based on these posted comments, I doubt I’ll hear from them. I paid for this purchase via PayPal and have already registered a dispute. I was taken by the dragonfly option and, the “king size spread”: 1. doesn’t cover my bed 2. the dragonfly image is blurry suggesting a blown up image from somewhere 3. It’s so thin and cheap looking, I will not use or display in my home, couldn’t if I wanted to, it doesn’t fit. The “rug” is about as thin as something you’d change a baby’s diaper on with plastic-looking material as the backing. I so wish I had seen this review and everyone’s comments prior to ordering. Both items came separately, maybe 2 weeks apart, and both were folded up into small plastic shipping bags. I didn’t realize the 1st package I received was the “rug” as, even folded up, it’s so thin I was shocked to find the “rug” in the bag. Same thing with the “bedspread”. On another note, I purchased a “pair of sunglasses” from an online website that didn’t mention China, but, guess what?, came from China and is also plastic junk. No more for me. I’ll support online sites I have a history with that I trust. Otherwise, I’ll go physically shopping to see what I’m buying.
Update: I’ve been emailing back and forth with the company. I was asked to send pictures of what I received and I did that. I was offered a 30% refund and 30% off my next purchase, as if I would do business with them again. After many replies to them stating what they offered (and what they sent) were unacceptable, I was offered a full refund if I shipped returns to China. I’ve never done business with a company that expected the customer to pay shipping to return a defective product (blurry “bedspread”). The return shipping to China would be too exorbitant to justify, given the poor quality of the items. I, too, offered to return to the US addresses on the package shipping labels (one in NJ, the other in CA – my 2 items came separately). I, too, was told no they must go to China. I went to the DHL website just to see what shipping would be and the site kept telling me the address in Shanghai provided to me by the “vendor” was invalid. So, just entering Shanghai, 1 package @ 4 lbs would cost $114.00. I’m aware now this China thing is part of the scam. They know customers will not pay that much to return, therefore, no refunds. I’m waiting for the final outcome of my PayPal dispute. Will update again when final decision is made. And, oh by the way, there was originally a French address for this company on their website. Last night, I no longer see France but now Singapore?
I am filing my complaint with PayPal today!
I ordered a bedspread and the quality was terrible! It was no thicker than a sheet and the sewing was awful. I definitely was scammed by Kaylee and tepid. Once they get your money they stop communicating with you because they know they sent you garbage and they don’t want to hear about it.
I had my rug all folded up in a bag and it flips up almost every time you trip. I’m not happy with it at all . I also ordered a bedding quilt a deer design. The print is stretched and thin. I thought they forgot my blanket but that’s how thin it is.
I got scammed.. will never order before checking ratings.
Total bait and switch …What arrived was a hand-sewn duvet cover featuring the design I thought I purchased blown-up, stretched and reprinted on a sheet. What you see is not what you get.
I just had the same thing happen to me. I immediately asked for a refund. Have a feeling I won’t get it.
I bought the 3D forest rug and was very disappointed when it finally arrived. It doesn’t look 3d at all, totally out of focus and it’s really thin- paid $89 for this #&$#!
