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!

I’m usually smarter than this! I fell prey to both Noracora and Roselinlin at the same time! I will never order on-line again without researching the credibility of the company! I am a senior citizen sitting here with five separate shipments from that day. I have emailed for refunds following their directives that come with the packages. From what I’ve read herein, that was my SECOND foolish move as I assume that will be fruitless! As everyone else has stated, nothing pictured on their sites is representative of what one receives; I cannot attach ANY level of quality to what they send out…it is below all description! Aside from quality, the sizes are all over the board, some pieces even had sewn in sizes far smaller than what was marked on the packaging. I ordered through PayPay. With all of these negative reviews, PayPal should be aware and able to warn their patrons of these scam companies from China. I’ll attempt to recover my payments through PayPal. Time will tell.
This was my exact experience with Noracora. DO NOT BUY from this online “retailer”! It is truly a scam, a way to unload some of the worst junk I have ever had the misfortune to purchase. And no, there is NO recourse. There is no real address or contact information, and no way to get this. If you paid by credit or debit card, get a new one immediately. These people are total FRAUDS. DO NOT waste your tine or money!
PayPal have refused to refund my US$90 as NoraCora told them they never received the parcel, even though NoraCora implied they did via email. NoraCora now have blocked my email address.
After months of emailing back and forth with Noracora and returning the crap clothes, they still refuse to cooperate. My return is sitting in Chinese customs and it will have to be destroyed as NC will not do anything about it (we don’t have to, they say). I got PayPal involved and finally heard today they are refunding my money! So a good outcome for me but NC aren’t paying so not so satisfying. I hope PayPal decide to reject payments for orders to NC in the future to protect shoppers from this shonky website.
That’s funny because I too have heard back from both PayPal & NoraCora with refund today! Still no funds in my account though… won’t believe it till I see it.
It took a couple of months and some back and forth with my US Bank Visa card people, but last week the full amount of purchase was refunded to my Visa account. Good luck!
Ha ha, PayPal must’ve had a clean up of all the Noracora complaints. No my refund hasn’t shown up yet! Either. Fingers crossed.😏
Looking at noracora and roselinlin, I wondered if they are mainly collecting credit card info, to sell. Or email addresses with physical addresses. Since no one knows who they really are, that is possible, right? I decided not to buy there.
Don’t order anything from a company that calls itself Milk and Choco. I ordered what was supposed to be a cute denim dress and what I received was a long cheap and I mean really cheap denim colored long men’s shirt that looked like it was sown by a 2 year old. Also it had a awful oil smell to it. It seems a lot of these company’s are scams they have no phone numbers to get in touch with them It wouldn’t surprise me if they were all the same company with different names . Buyer beware!!
DO NOT BUY FROM ‘ROSELINLIN’ OR FROM THIS ONLINE STORE!!! I bought 3 items of clothing from an online shop called ‘Roselinlin’. The clothing looks suspiciously the same as Noracora which, like Roselinlin is now showing up in all my feeds. I strongly suspect they are connected.
The clothing was posted in plastic bag from somewhere is Asia and is shocking quality. It doesnt look at all like the photos! I didnt even bother trying it on & I gave it to a local op shop!!!
The items I ordered took several weeks to arrive with one item that has never been delivered at all! Communication with them was abysmal. THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
I ordered from Noracora Never recieved my Items ! Its Been 3 Months !!! Bank of America wouldn’t give me my money back because even tho I was Scamed I was a day late in sending them some documents they asked for !! I’m Leaving the Bank They SUCK !!! Noracora is a SCAM !!!
Oh, how I wish I had read this before placing my order. After almost 30 days, I have received three of the four items I ordered and NONE of them were to size. I was able to give the first one away as a gift but I applied for a refund for the other two, which were much too small and not of good quality. The company just advised me via email that they will pay me 15% of the cost OR I can arrange to mail them back to China and incur shipping (and potential customs) costs that outweigh the purchase. This is a scam company, and I am furious that they can get away with such false advertising.
A couple of additional questions/observations. Why don’t The ever show the heads of the models in their pictures?
Why is it that all of the positive reviews are always written in broken English. Obviously planted by their employees
Seems to me BerryLook is a part of all of this as well.
Do not shop here. NoraCora is a scam. The images on the website have nothing to do with the products that arrive in the mail, if they arrive at all. Though they claim to accept returns, they actually do not. I imagine, if they were not small fry, they would already have been shut down.
I actually wonder if they are small fry as even PayPal seems intimidated by them
so terrible! the quality, color, and sizes were not at all as advertised. they will not refund either and will give you a complete run around.
DO NOT BUY!!!
It is so unfortunate. It would take less time to have garments made correctly. And Most are simple garments. How do you make a neck hole tiny enough for a toddler and the size is XL or 2X women’s? If they just cared they’d have returning customers. How dumb are they.
This NoraCora is an absolute scam!!! I ordered 2 dresses, received something totally different. I returned the garments to the address I received them from, never received a refund. I have been emailing back and forth to no avail!!! Stay away from them. Soo disgusted ! $55 down the drain.
