Shared below are a few of the most recent customer reviews we found:
“I placed an order over a month before I am scheduled to leave for a trip. I received emails that the items were shipped, and tried to use the tracking number to track my packages. The tracking number didn’t work. Finally, I received a valid tracking number and a message that the package could not be delivered. I checked the address, and it was correct, so I don’t know why I didn’t receive my packages. There is NO way I will receive my items before my trip. I will NEVER buy from Noracora again!”
“I made an order before checking the reviews out – which I always do – wish I would have this time! I immediately canceled my order through email, 5 or 6 times. Asked for refund to my Mastercard and I have heard NOTHING!!! Should have known better when there is NO PHONE NUMBER!!! What are you people trying to hide? Give me my money back and give it to me NOW.”
“Placed an order with them. Sent several emails requesting an update have had no response. Do not shop with them.”
TrustPilot also issued the following statement on their page on May 9th, 2019.
Contacting Noracora
Noracora only provides an email address to reach out to them.
Since the registered office address of their company shell, BTREE Limited, is a fake location consumers are solely left to email Noracora with the hopes of getting a response.
Their email address on record on site is service@noracora.com.
Many customers have sent countless emails to Noracora, however, and have yet to get any sort of response.

“Same sad experience as so many on here. Contacted them 9 days after placing order and received a response the next day that part of it had shipped, with a tracking number which was connected to nothing. Since then, no response to my multiple inquiries. Now in the process of trying to get a refund from PayPal. Terrible company, do not order!”
“2 orders, not fulfilled. Got thank you note—but no fulfillment yet. They said “on the way” and then said my order was cancelled. I did no such thing. Awaiting customer service answers. EGAD. SCAM?”

Noracora Scam Conclusion
Noracora does an exceptional job as coming across as a legitimate online retailer that offers a wide selection of trendy and desirable consumer clothing.
Claiming to work with name brands and offering boutique designer quality clothing, Noracora has been called out on their bluff by countless consumers for their cheap clothing material and inability to fulfill simple customer orders.
Using BTREE Limited as a company shell, the real company behind this Noracora according to WHOIS directories would be Chicv International Holding Limited.
Why put your trust and time with an online retailer that reflects hundreds of negative reviews across the web while reflecting 2 of the most concerning red flags when it comes to online retailers.
The first being the inability to effectively communicate and reply to customers while the last being Noracora’s strong inability to deliver purchased goods as advertised.
Outcome: Noracora is a SCAM!

It is not a good website they didn’t want to pay me and they wouldn’t give me the okay to send the items back. So they gave the 15% back which is not what I wanted. And I spent $65 plus. The items are cheap the sandals came apart the second time I put them on so that was a waist of money. The clothes are so off and cheap.
I AM GLAD THAT NORACORA IS BEING FOUND OUT FOR THE SCAM COMPANY THEY ARE. I ALSO WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THERE IS ANOTHER ONLINE CLOTHING STORE ROSELINLIN THAT ARE SELLING THE EXACT SAME CLOTHES AND SAME IMAGES AS NORACORA. I AM PRESUMING THAT NORACORA HAS DECIDED TO ABANDON SHIP AND USE ANOTHER COMPANY TO FRAUDULENTLY RAKE IN THE MONEY FROM UNSUSPECTING CONSUMERS.
Company is out of China and uses deceptive advertising. They steal photos from legitimate online companies and post as there own without showing models face in photo.
Positive reviews are fake.( See spelling errors)
After I ordered 5 items, I promptly cancelled order after I learned company‘s merchandise is questionable, they are in China and that I would have to pay shipping to return merchandise to China. I received an automatic reply stating order cannot be cancelled because items are already shipped. This was a lie.
After sending numerous emails inquiring about status of my order with no reply and the merchandise not being received, I filed a dispute with my bank for not receiving any merchandise at all in time promised. I informed company of my dispute and finally I got a reply that 1 item has been shipped with misleading tracking information. When package arrived at post office, I refused it at the post office. They kindly returned package to China with no shipping cost to me since I refused it.
I sent to the bank photos of proof of returning the one item. . Bank refunded me the entire amount for not receiving merchandise (4 items) and returning 1 item to company
@candice I ordered my items on 11/21/19 still waiting. I’ve been emailing Noracora every three days. I always get the same messages “our support group will review it and get back to you in 48 hrs” I feel you rage! I’m surprised that it hasn’t gotten out to the News Media 🤷🏻♀️ With all the complaints…Good luck!
Hi Candice,
I just wanted to speak a little in defense of Roselinlin. I ordered from them, and had no problems with them at all. Everything I ordered arrived (although it did take a couple of months to get here) and was pretty much what I was expecting from the pics and info on their website. Sizes maybe ran a little small, but that’s common with clothes from Asia, and it wasn’t extreme. I consider they dealt fairly with me. However, that took place between May and July of last year (2019). I have no idea what the situation with them is now.
I also order from Noracora in Nov. 2019, and ran into the same scam everybody else on here did. The couple of pieces that did arrive were awful. Contacted them by email to get a return number and discovered that I would have to pay for shipping to Guangzhou, China, plus any duty fees if applicable. It probably would have cost me most or all of the return amount, not to mention the hassle, so I decided to skip it. That’s what I get for getting sucked into the scam. Most of the order however, has never arrived. I’m in the process of trying to recoup my money for that.
I am very happy and relieved to have researched that company.There stuff looks good……but somehow I figured something is wrong?????There are very deceiving in how they describe their items.My gut feeling told me research right away and voila..It was exactly what I figured..To sum it up..It looks too good to be true.. This article saved me $85 and a lot of headaches. I am very thankful.Unfortunately this so called company will have their FILl ,due to our situation.People will shop more on line than ever….and will get burned.It is very disturbing to me.How can this be stopped?From now on I will check every company out to the T…Thankyou again for the article.It saved me from a lot of heartship and trouble..

Amen!! Something felt “off” with this place, and I immediately checked them out. Glad I didn’t invest a lot of browsing time, or I REALLY would’ve been pissed!
Purchased knit socks and mittens. Arrived way after Christmas and were defective. Tried to return. Emailed their customer service. No luck. Found a customer service number.
Noracora called me to issue a refund. That did not happen. They hacked my computer, I couldn’t open my computer, my emails were forwarded to another email, 4 charges totaling $600+ on my credit card. I had to take my computer to get unhacked.
I contacted the FTC. The phone number was considered the customer svc. 1/845/481/1333.
They are criminals.
