For instance, Noracora on TrustPilot.com, reflected a 1 out of 5 star rank out of 317 reviews.
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.
Noracora.com Complaints

Shared below are 3 of the most relevant complaints we found regarding Noracora at SiteJabber.
“It’s very hard to discover the real reviews because the people behind this “company” keep slamming good reviews. But when you read and see the silly names of the reviewer it is evident they are false. And scroll down to discover the bad ones. Yikes!”
“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!

Bought two blouses from them. Took weeks to arrive. One was as pictured. The other not. I contacted the company a few times about a return and received no response. Finally I received a testy email informing me I had a week to mail the blouse back to China, but that I would have to pay shipping and customs, and that it would take a very long time. Or I could accept 15% purchase price refund. After I cvntacted PayPal and my credit card company they offered 20& on the dollar, and also said the blouse would have to be in the original white plastic bag it came in for a return. There was no such bag. An incompetent, cheating company. Sorry not to have read the reviews, but this is the first time I have EVER had problems with an on-line order.
This company tried to get me to install Alpemix software through support909.xyz to issue a refund. This is a software that can take over my computer remotely by them and then I would have to pay to have it back. This company and the people working for it are criminals. Trying to get Paypal to no longer do business with them and it should be removed as any kind of legitimate site.
Just lost $68 to Noracora when they refused to refund me for items I returned to their US shipping address at Dept 1196, Cranbury South River Rd, Monroe Township NJ. They told me online that I should have returned the item to China, but really it is so expensive they would just send me replacement items! So no China address provided to return. I used the shipping address on the package to make the return. Paypal has denied my complaint; says I did not give proof of return, but I gave them the UPS documentation of the return to the NJ shipping address. This company says it will accept returns, but it appears not, and so you are out the money. By the way, the sizing was so off I couldn’t wear the items, nor could I give them to anyone of my friends as they didn’t fit, so it was really a bad purchase. Do not buy from Noracora
Yes, it took over a month to receive my order and there is not a return policy.
While two of the shirts were nice quality, the third was not and the shoes I ordered were the worst quality. Additionally, their sizing charts are way off and the fit on all of their items is WIERD. Hugh shoulders, small waist. I don’t know who this would fit. None of the shirts that I bought fit me, despite using their sizing charts.
I ordered two dresses – they showed up OK. Quality was total garbage so I returned them to the same address they came from. Delivery to them is confirmed by postal track. Now they are “sorry” but cannot “receive” my dresses and cannot refund the money. I asked that where is my package now but no answer. There is nobody to talk to but email back and forth. STAY AWAY FROM THIS “BUSINESS” or you too will get scammed.
Thats all I need to know. I have placed their emails into my spam folder.
So glad I this came across for me to read my order was totaling $135.oo. My computer registered NoraCora as scam as well. I had my share of these companies and have begun to catch on. My Lastest was WIKI aka OrderPlus International Limited. Lucky for me I had PayPal get in the fight after they ran me thru an obstacle course on how to return my almost 3 months to deliver poor quality garments. Then had the nerve to offer me $6 on $54. But, the first 2 pcs came in a timely manner and were good garments. But now I check and if they carry the same garments as the other sites, I pass on it. And I agree with others FB and Instagram should bar these type of vendors.
Going forward, if they don’t offer PayPal as a payment option its another pass for me.
I think I have been scammed too. I received my items, but everything was too small & very flimsy materials. Wish I had checked out the site before ordering. Calling the bank to process refund payment.
I ordered 3;shirts from NORACORA June 1, tracking number shows I received one I HAVE NOT RECEIVED anything from them. From what I have been reading they are not credible. I have tried to contact them via email and no success. I guess I join the other suckers b
I foolishly ordered 5 shirts from Nora Cora. I do believe that there can be some color variation between the screen and the actual item, however, the styles and colors were unlike anything in the pictures. i have been requesting a return label for 5 weeks – I get a robo reply asking which 2 items I wish to return – or they would be glad to refund 15% of the purchase price of my order. 15%!!!
NEVER NEVER ORDER FROM NORA CORA ! I will donate the items to charity – at least they will be of some use to someone.
I son’t understand why FACEBOOK, CNN etc allows them to advertise.
My story is similar to yours, buyer beware, I don’t understand why these reputable sites allow these companies to advertise either! and there’s more!
I am another victim of these fraudulent people. Garment I ordered took forever to get here and it looked nothing like the garment I ordered. It was not linen, not the same color as pictured and it was about 4 sizes bigger than I ordered. I knew when I contacted them to make a return that I had been scammed because the e mail I received said it had to be returned to China. The offered 15% of my payment as a refund. I refused. They came back with an offer of 20%. They never provided me with a return address. Wouldn’t have done any good anyway as it would have cost me shipping and I’m convinced there would have been no refund.
How stupid I feel! Put me down on the scammed list, too. I will say that they have changed their mailing location — my package of ill-fitting, ridiculously-sized clothing was sent from New Jersey. But was supposed to be returned to China. Instead, I will give the items to a skinny friend in case she ever wants to mow her lawn in my newest ‘designer fashions.’
I was shocked when I got clothes from Noracora.
Smaller size and very bad quality!
I tried reach them, no response, no address to return.
Be awful, this is scam!!!
IT IS VERY SAD TO KNOW YOU GET IN SCAM… TRIED TO REACH NORACORA BUT NO RESPOND.NO PHONE,NO ADDRESS.S C A M!!!!
