I wish I had've seen these reviews before purchasing with Shona Joy, I have had the exact same terrible experience with their refund policy. I purchased a $300 dress and when I received it, it just looked frumpy and the material was stiff and uncomfortable. I thought it was a lot of money to spend on a dress I would probably never wear and so I returned it. Of course they would only allow for a credit note and so I purchased another dress which when it arrived had poorly made seams and was falling apart and again the dress was unflattering and a horrible fabric. Still no refund - just another credit note. Overall disappointing. they don't have the customer in mind at all, the products are overpriced and poor quality, and they probably know it too which is why they're holding onto unsatisfied customer money.

The worst company in the world. I bought a dress and it didn’t fit and I tried to send back they refused to make the return, when I said I was going to contact the accc they accepted the return, I sent the dress, and when the delivery arrived they said I don’t send the dress, the package it was empty that they were not going to return the money, well now I'm without the dress and without the money. It’s scam company don’t trust this people.

You will have to pay to return an item. I tried to return an item I purchased at full price that was too big and it would cost over a $100 to return! Beware! This is a total rip off and completely unacceptable!

I will never buy from Shona Joy again!!! While I have (eventually) ended up with 3 nice bridesmaid dresses for my upcoming wedding, the hassle and effort to get to that point has not been worth it for me. Long story short = don't advertise to people that they can buy bridesmaids dresses which are identical in colour if you can't actually deliver on that! My bridesmaids and I ordered fabric samples from Shona Joy from their 3 different bridesmaids lines. After selecting our preferred colours and styles I phoned Shona Joy to check that they had the item in stock and was told that they "had plenty". I went to order 2 days later and there was no stock left. I subsequently phoned and found out that Shona Joy was discontinuing that particular line and there would be no more stock coming in. I was not told about this originally and was annoyed to have paid for fabric samples for a discontinued line. That was the first fail on their part. We ended up picking a couple of dresses from one of their other bridesmaid ranges which are advertised as "mix and match" (i.e. the colour is identical and you can choose different styles). We ordered 2 dresses in one style and 1 dress in a different style but all advertised as the same colour. I even phoned and confirmed with Shona Joy that the colour would be identical and emailed again to confirm. When they arrived the dresses were different shades of the same colour! Like, noticeably different and not what we were promised. That was the second fail. When I phoned they offered to swap the dresses for me but they made me process a NEW purchase for a second lot of dresses (so I was out double the amount of money) and they promised to refund me for the first lot of dresses if I mailed them back. So I mailed the original dresses back and received a refund for 2 dresses but only a store credit for 1. I had to phone again to get that changed to a refund. That was the third fail. When the new dresses arrived they were NOT THE SAME COLOUR. I could not believe it! When I phoned up about it I was advised that I would only get a credit if I returned the second lot of dresses EVEN THOUGH they were still not the same colour. That was the fourth fail. After going through so much hassle with them and having them promise that the new dresses would be the same colour they did not deliver. At least with the second order the colour difference was very slight so my bridesmaids and I decided that it would probably be close enough for the day so we are just going to keep the second batch and deal with the shades not being identical. HOWEVER, this is not what was advertised or promised on their website. Shona Joy should not advertise their bridesmaid range in the way that they do. If they can't actually deliver multiple dresses in the same shade they shouldn't advertise that they can. I should say that I did deal with the same person from customer service the whole time and she was very lovely and apologetic. HOWEVER it still doesn't make up for all of the stuff ups and also that I still didn't get what I paid for and what was advertised on their website. I will never buy from Shona Joy again.

Sizing is terrible, material is cheap and does not replicate exact item from website. Overpriced for the items they are producing.

DO NOT RISK ONLINE SHOPPING.. WORST COMPANY FOR ONLINE SHOPPING!! Received notification that a dress I was after came back in stock. I wanted to buy 2 sizes to compare, I noticed no refund so I rang and they said ‘definitely no refund’ and to go with the larger size as I could tie it up at the back, also ‘they just came back into stock so I should not have a problem’ even though I purchased day 2, I received it within a couple of days but it was too big so I went to exchange for a smaller size and there wr no one left. I called them and told them I took her advice on the sizing and I do not want anything else as I was buying for an engagement to wear and wanted my money back. Which was ‘never going to happen’ according to ‘the manger’. .. as I wasn’t going to risk another order from SJ I took the dress to seamstress to take in for me, which again cost more money..

I ordered a dress from the Shona Joy website and it never arrived. I contacted Shona Joy by email and was told that in the event an item is lost while in transit, they will not be liable and I’m just out the $229 I spent on the dress. This would violate UCC laws in the US but I suppose Australia does things differently? In any event, I will never shop Shona Joy again. I know they don’t care if they lose one customer but I can’t imagine I’m the only person who this has happened to.

Buyer Beware Terrible returns policy for online orders. One of the only online stores that doesn’t offer a refund if you take the risk and buy online. EVERY other online stores offers refunds. Will never put has anything again from this store

Do not buy anything from here. 1. Their return possibly is horrible and there is no flexibility with it. 2. The dress quality is nowhere near expected for the price you pay. I bought a bridesmaid dress for $395 and the sewing was horrible. 3. Dress was frumpy and awkward looking.

The seams aren't finished by any measure. Such poor quality doesn't match the price. Unbelievable!

Unfortunately I will not shop here again. My fault I didn’t read the returns policy and when covid restrictions eased I spent 2000 on bridesmaid dresses different sizes and colours to try online when I went to return I was offered a store credit only. Dresses are not worth the price tag either unfortunately I was expecting a great deal more quality. I have one that had a mark on it and I hope I can get some cash back for that dress. Sorry would not purchase again unless some changes are made with returns process coz I think some of their dresses would be nice

Ive bought a dress 9 months ago, i did not get it and even a response or my money back. I have never had such a bad experience in any shop in the world. If they do not give me the dress or my money back i will have to tale legal issues. This is to steal someone, i cannot believe it.

WARNING: I purchased a dress from Shona Joy, received it on the 19/10/20 and opened my package to find that the dress had a blood stain on it. Immediately I was horrified and took a photo. I sent an email to Shona Joy with my complaint and weeks later I have STILL NOT RECEIVED a response. During this current covid climate the hygiene standards should be raised and its appalling to find blood on a brand new dress. Also I must add that the actual dress is extremely poor quality, the seams are not finished, the material is sheer and clearly feels cheap. I was buying the dress to decide whether or not to get our bridesmaids dresses from this brand and I can clearly see now that we won't be. This is extremely disappointing as the brand advertises such beautiful dresses and work hard on their campaigns/advertisement. Unfortunately I am led to believe that Shona Joy is falsely advertising. I would recommend buying from other Australian brands that actually make their clothes in Australia.

Purchased 3 Dresses for my Bridesmaids and the quality is terrible, very flimsy and not at all the quality you would expect from this Australian Company at the prices they charge, was only told that they have not had this complaint on this dress before, which I find very hard to believe - La Lune Collection - pleaded for a refund as I had spent $860.00 and a credit note is no good when I now have to go and purchase another 3 bridesmaid dresses - very disappointing and shameful in this current climate of affairs, trying to keep my business in Australia this time for me was very costly - shame on you Shona Joy!!!!

DO NOT purchase from Shona Joy online. I ordered a $270 dress for my sister's wedding and it not only looks, but feels, different than what is pictured on their website. It's awkward and frumpy. When I emailed customer service about how poorly constructed the garment was, they reiterated their return policy to me, and provided no help. For a more modest price, I wouldn't be so upset, but for $270 it should be higher quality. Will never order from them again.
