Fraud and Scam Dress Websites To Avoid

by Jeremy Hong 08 Mar 2024 0 Comments

Our customers are very important to us, which is why we would like to make you aware of Fraud, Scam, Fake, not Legit, Counterfeit and Knock Off websites typically from Asia that are not credible. They have been known to make flawed copies of designer dresses or they never fulfill an order. Reviews for the websites below have been found to be a scam.

A really good article written by INSIDE EDITION investigating counterfeit/scam formal gowns.

All of the dresses we sell are authentic and directly from the designer themselves. We have also been approved by TopPromWebsites to help ensure trust with us. You will not get a cheap knock off dress from us, but you will from the companies below. Sites are listed in alphabetical order. Download the complete list of websites (over 4500).

Report and let us know if you come across a scam dress site that is not on our list.

Rossen Reports: Teens Scammed with Fake Prom Dresses      

6 RED FLAGS in a Counterfeit/Scam Dress Website
  1. You can choose any color you want.
  2. Custom tailor your size.
  3. Taylor time of 10-25 days.
  4. Much cheaper than normal.
  5. Fake (non-working) seals (i.e. Norton, McAfee, Trustwave).
  6. No telephone number (the biggest one of all)
If you see one of the sites on our list, we highly caution you NOT TO BUY from them.

Terms & Conditions

Our general return policy applies to all eligible products except certain dresses listed below. You may return product(s) within 7 days for either a store credit or you may make an exchange. We do not issue refunds. A store credit will be issued minus a 15% restocking fee will be applied to all returns/exchanges. We do not profit from this restocking fee since our suppliers charge us this fee. An RMA must be submitted for approval in order to return an item. Shipping fees, if any, which were applied at purchase are not refunded. Once the item is received, an email will be sent to you with a store credit code that does not expire or an exchange will be processed.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO RETURN AN ITEM?

We offer a 7-day return window for most purchases (exclusions listed below).

The return window begins when your package is marked "Delivered" by the tracking system. From that time, you have 7 days (including weekends and holidays) to make a return/exchange request. You will be unable to submit a return/exchange request after that 7-day period.

ABOUT RE:DO RETURNS

  • Customers now have the option to pay $1.98 at the time of purchase to later qualify for free returns on that order.
  • Didn’t add and checkout with Re:Do? You will still return like normal and purchase a label through them with discounted shipping rates saving you time and money!

WHAT ITEMS ARE EXCLUDED FROM RETURNS AND EXCHANGES?

The following items are not eligible for a return or exchange:

  • Clearance items (will be clearly marked "Clearance" or have the price that does not end in $xx.99 or $xx.98)
  • Wedding gowns
  • Quinceanera dresses
  • Cinderella Divine Black Label
  • Tiaras
  • Designer dresses by Andrea & Leo Couture and DeKlaire Bridal

ARE THERE ANY FEES FOR RETURNING AN ELIGIBLE ITEM?

The following fees are as follows:

  • If shipping was complimentary at checkout, original freight/handling cost will be deducted.
  • Customer is responsible for shipping costs on return/exchanged items if RE:DO was not added to your order at checkout.
  • A 15% restocking fee for all returns will be accessed.
  • Packages that are denied and "returned to sender" or refused will be subject to a 50% restocking fee.
  • Please note that any amount paid for shipping is non-refundable.

WHAT IF I WANT TO MAKE AN EXCHANGE?

If you would like to make an exchange for a different size or dress, simply submit an RMA by clicking here . Once approved, you will receive an email with instructions. The exchange process can take 7-12 days. Once the item has been received and approved, you will receive an email with a code that you can use to apply on our website to make an exchange. You will go through the checkout process online.

If time is of the essence, place a new order for the item you need, then contact us by email informing us of this decision. If for some reason the item that you ordered is not available, it will not constitute a refund. In such a case, a store credit will be issued once the original dress has been returned.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RETURNED ITEMS?

  • Returns are carefully inspected; all original tags must be in place and the product must not show any signs of wear or damage.
  • Items found with snags, worn, washed, altered, ripped, stained, grease marks, pet hair, pen marks, perfume, deodorant stains, smoke odor and/or missing tags will be returned immediately at the customer's expense.

Came quickly and so unbelievably gorgeous. I'll have to get it taken in because it's too big in the bust for me. I'm 5'4 and won't be wearing heels with it, so I'll get the hem done too, but it's stunning. Quality quality quality. And a great price. Will definitely be back for more.
