Will Never Shop At Shona Joy

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 customer service team were so accommodating to my enquiry and ensured that I would have my order in time at such short notice!

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.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! My daughter ordered a Matron of honor dress and the fit was horrible! No refund, only store credit. Total rip off.

I really don't like to speak so poorly of an Australian brand; but Shona Joy's returns policy is truly deplorable and absolutely ridiculous. I would assume for most people, purchasing a $300+ garment is quite a financial outlay, and most people would think that if the garment doesn't suit their body type, or fits poorly, or perhaps is even faulty- they are able to get a refund of their out of pocket expense. After all, it's what almost every other online and in-store retailer offers, right? Why think differently for a company that boasts about being australian made and great service & quality? That is unfortunately not the case with Shona Joy. I bought a dress for over $300 for a one off event, and when I tried the dress on at home once it arrived, I was a disappointed that it just made me look very frumpy and bulky. The material wasn't at all what the site said it would be and it was just... lacklustre in total. I thought it'd be easy to just pop it back for a refund and I'd keep searching for another gown for the event. When I called the Shona Joy customer service line, I was told I could only get a store credit, or exchange for another gown. When I said that's not really helpful to me, as this was the only gown that I knew would suit my height and body shape- I was told I could "gift" the dress to a friend instead, or choose another gown for an exchange. Uh, I'm sorry what? Are you kidding me? So now, I have the option of picking a different dress in a different colour which will just literally sit in my wardrobe because I won't ever wear it. Or getting a store credit for 12 months, to potentially just repeat the exact same experience I've just had. Please, to whomever is reading this; if you must purchase from Shona Joy, track down the exact item you are looking for in a PHYSICAL STORE and try it on first before buying. DO NOT purchase online. You may end up being out of pocket hundreds of dollars, and rather disappointed.

Would give zero stars if I could. Their customer service is appalling and unethical. So much of my time wasted, when it was their product which was FAULTY. Never again will purchase anything Shona Joy. Disgraceful.

Totally agree with the returns policy review below! How on earth can you be an online store and only accept returns if faulty?! Both in NZ and the UK it is illegal to not have a fair returns policy

Returns policy is ridiculous, they also changed their policy between date of order and goods being delivered, they simply will not give you your money back, only a credit note, avoid

I don't even want to give a 1 star!! Crazy they don't refund on full priced items!! Brand new dress $300 tried on & didn't suit me all I can get is a credit note!! It took 3 days for their response. I will never purchase from them again. What online store DOESN'T REFUND FULL PRICE?

Do not order from this company. Your order will not arrive & no refund. Honestly the worst retailer I’ve ever dealt with.

I'm really surprised to see the reviews regarding poor customer service. I have had to contact the customer service team twice - both due to my own mistakes - and they have responded within the hour, rectifying my mistakes and ensuring timely postage. Both times I have dealt with Aleksandra who has been absolutely wonderful. The quality of the garments is second to none, hence my constant repurchasing!

I’m extremely disappointed with the service I received from Shona Joy. I placed my order beginning of June (1.5 month ago) and have yet to receive my order. I’ve contacted Shona Joy multiple times over the past three weeks and haven’t received a follow up. I placed this order through their “After Pay” option. Thankfully after pay has reached out and they received a response within a day from Shona Joy and stated that they are not liable for international orders and will not be cancelling my order nor will be issuing a refund.
