Scam Description
I ordered a dress from KLNYU.com. I didn’t expect a whole lot in quality due to the price, but I did expect the dress to fit as I followed their measurements on the website. I ordered from them because they claimed to be from South Carolina and claimed they had a 30 day return policy. The dress arrived 14 days later (suspicious) with a return address in Indiana. The dress was at least three sizes too small! I contacted KLYNU through their customer service email and requested return instructions. They asked if they could refund 8.00 and I could keep the dress. I wrote back that was unacceptable and that they would give me 15 but I would have to pay for return shipping….but haven’t said return to where. I wrote back again and told them I want a full refund. I have not heard back, nor have they resolved the issue. I suspect like everyone else that this is scam and these dresses are actually made and shipped from china.
