Many customers describe smooth online ordering, an easy checkout, and on-time delivery across several product types. A large share of complaints focuses on surprise subscription sign-ups, unexpected charges, and refunds that are slow or never arrive. Many reviewers also mention missing or unusable tracking details, plus orders that never shipped or were cancelled without clear notice. Product quality comments are split, with praise for well-made ornaments alongside repeated reports of broken items or jewellery defects.
Examples from available reviews (May 2022 – Mar 2026).
Wolf items arrived on time, well packaged, and payment options liked.
“Loved the wolf items I ordered arrived within the specified time packages were good also loved options of payments”
Customer service was helpful in all ways.
“Helpful in all ways”
Unwittingly enrolled in rewards programme charging monthly fees for long time.
“Somehow I ended up in a rewards program that was taking 16.95 out every month.”
Item shipped but tracking did not work and customer service was unhelpful.
“the tracking number they give you doesn't work.”
Many reviews describe unexpected subscription sign-ups and repeated billing disputes. Several customers report long waits for refunds or no refund at all, along with trouble reaching staff who can help. A smaller group mentions quick, effective support and fast refunds for certain returns or broken items.
Many reviewers point to hidden fees, duplicate charges, or totals at checkout that were not clear. Some customers say instalment payments made purchases feel affordable and cite that option as a key benefit. When people call the value poor, they usually link it to quality problems or billing issues that were not resolved.
Many buyers say the website is easy to use, with quick ordering and a simple checkout. Several customers praise fast delivery and suitable packaging when orders arrive as expected. A repeated downside is orders being cancelled, redirected, or never shipped, which undercut otherwise positive experiences.
Reviews range from praise for high-quality ornaments and nicely presented items to reports of damage in transit and jewellery that loses stones. Specific issues include broken cords, muffled clock sound, and items arriving with poor packaging. Positive quality comments appear, but they are fewer than complaints about fragile parts or pieces that do not match.
Many reviewers say they never received a working tracking number, or the tracking provided did not function. Comments also mention unanswered emails, delivery dates that kept changing, and orders that never shipped. A minority report immediate confirmation emails and useful updates.
Feedback splits sharply between smooth, satisfactory purchases and major service breakdowns. Positive reviews highlight easy ordering, on-time delivery, and helpful staff. Negative reviews focus on billing disputes, unwanted subscriptions, and delivery or refund problems that were not fixed.
