So what is Noracora?
Noracora is an overseas based online retailer that appears to be scamming consumers on a reoccurring basis.
Promoting their online retailer as a trendy, discount retailer with high quality apparel, Noracora appears to be all talk and no walk.
Meaning, that according to customer feedback, the quality of Noracora items are laughable at best while the vast majority of consumers report not receiving their orders at all.
Among the categories of apparel goods supported at Noracora would be as followed:
- Dresses
- Tops
- Shoes
- Bottoms
- Outerwear
- Bags & Accessories
- Swimwear
Orders are said to take between 3 to 5 business days of processing time AND then 7 to 30 business days of shipping time.
Any one with questions relating to purchase or general customer service inquiries are recommended to email service@noracora.com.
Most of the inventory featured at Noracora reflect online savings that range between 20% to 80% off what Noracora asserts to be the retail value for each particular item.
We encounter this shady marketing tactic all the time when investigating fictitious online retailers such as Noracora.
Among the accepted payment methods currently available through Noracora would be Visa, MasterCard and Maestro credit/debit cards along with PayPal.
Many customers who report being scammed by Noracora have been able to file claims through PayPal and get their money back due to PayPal’s Buyer Protection.
If you have been scammed by Noracora and used a payment method outside PayPal we advice that you contact your financial institution immediately and request a chargeback on said payment method while putting an order in for a new card replacement.
Better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to online scams like Noracora.

Domain Insight
Noracora.com was registered by Chicv International Holding Limited, a Hong Kong based company, on October 19th, 2014 through the GoDaddy registrar.
Due to be Chicv International Holdings Limited being the reflected registrar behind Noracora .com we believe BTREE Limited to be nothing more than a company shell (a very common occurrence we have been encountering with these UK-based ‘corporations’) used to serve as the fall entity.
According to SimilarWeb, Noracora.com reflected a global rank of 41,554 with a US rank of 9,416 as of May 20th, 2019.

Noracora Reviews
You can gather a more comprehensive oversight regarding the legitimacy of Noracora by taking a bit of time to browse consumer reviews on the web.
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
Negative reviews and complaints pretty much sum up the entirety of the Noracora operation.
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 have ordered several pieces of clothing from oracora. What a big .istake!! I received one of the items so far,it looks like a child’s craft progect. I really have doubts about the other items ordered. I spent a lot of money on these things,am retired and money is tight. These were supposed to be Christmas gifts. Tried to contact customer service…what a joke. All I received was a standard reply telling me to contact customer service. I just did! What a scam. Lesson learned at a high price. Please don’t make the same mistake. NEVER buy from this company!!!

Another company that is not legit is anniecloth.com- do not buy from them either- they are the same as noracora
Thanks for the report. Here’s our Anniecloth.com Review.
Same as noracora:
Jenlisee
Youswardrobe
Yo popstyle
All advertised on FB and reported. It’s really ridiculous how many of these noracora mirror sites are out there.
Noracora fraud, after a few days they send a tracking # that 1 of your items is coming from china, tracking # is invalid.
we have requested a valid tracking #
We have requested a refund
cheaters
never again.

What upsets me also is that they are constantly advertising on my BBC app. Always. CNN App too. CNN App also has fake news on it. You would think these corporations would not want to be advertising scams…. But they are and have been for years.
I agree. The first time I saw an ad, it was on the web page for the New York Times. That gave the company, in my naive mind, credibility that it DID not deserve. Huge scam!
I agree! I couldn’t avoid the add popping up. Now that I’m “incarcerated” in my home for the duration, I am filled with regret that I wasn’t a dutiful daughter and grand-daughter. Both of these ladies knew how to sew, knit, embroider and crochet; my sisters and I wore the same baptismal gown, booties and other handmade items as infants and toddlers. In the seventies, when crochet once again became fashionable we had lovely handmade outfits. Recently, I was flabbergasted at the cost of a crochet dress that reminded me of something my Mom had made me. The most I can do in crochet is treble stitch. Whether original or not, the designs of many of noracora clothes are quite pretty and online or actually visiting a fabric shop could have provided me with inspiration to make something if I knew what I was doing. In my next life I will spend more time at my mother’s side learning how to do things with my hands. Sigh….. It’s truly disgraceful that people’s hard earned money is STOLEN and with no true recourse it seems. I don’t often check reviews, but I’m so glad I did today as I would have been in many disgruntled customers shoes. Given the state of many people’s finances, we can live without being cheated!
DO NOT Waste ur time!! Total scam!!! They will only refund 15% of the item you don’t want!!
Items sent looked nothing like the pictures. Got their attention when I said I was going to file a complaint with the FTC. They attempted to refund my account but had to have forms which couldn’t be emailed to me but had to be done through a goto assist program. Basically they tried to get on to my computer!!!! TOTAL SCAM, CLOSED MY CREDIT CARD SINCE THEY HAD THE NUMBER AND WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE FTC FOR SURE!!!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!
Told me the same then tried me to purchase a Wal-Mart gift card for $300 telling that’s how they would return my money
No no no no no no to NORACORA! They
describe clothing as cotton or cotton/blend. If it ever arrives, it looks like it’s made from shower curtains.
After 2 months, a “sweater” arrived made of polyester mesh with a button but no buttonhole. Wristlet/gloves haven’t arrived, told they’re still being “manufactured”. Compared to others, I ‘m lucky I’m out only $50 but it still smarts. This company seems to assume they can scam consumers with impunity. Let’s prove them wrong.
I ordered from them and was told that my order would arrive in 7-10 days and it did. I ordered two of the same white shirts with the tye on the sleeve. The only problem I experience was the fabric is slightly different from the actual picture. The picture and description appear to be cotton whereas the actual fabric is dressier if that’s an actual description. I used a prepaid visa card because that is how I order online and so it works for me. I have to admit that I was leery about the quality since the pricing was so inexpensive. I will not be using this site again since there are so many bad comments about them.
I was suckered in by the awesome appearing clothing and ordered before reading reviews. Chalk it up to STUPID mistakes! I’m quite certain I won’t receive what I ordered and it seems trying for a refund is pointless. Other sites with the SAME KIND OF CLOTHING that I also believe are scam sites:
Vogueins VIP
Sunnilook
Extremely disappointed as these are the kind of clothes I love. Why can’t someone make and sell them legitimately?
I too have been scammed by noracora, terrible quality clothing, only received half of order, they don’t answer emails, had to cancel credit card. First time I’ve ordered online and I didn’t check reviews. Once bitten twice shy… why can’t some authority close them down promptly
I wish i had researched them before I ordered – will not respond to my email requests no tracking number – its just makes me sick.
Why does goggle allow them to pop up advertise to scam people – it is not far
