This Website is a Scam

Merchandise is poor quality, thin and transparent. Merchandise does not arrive via UPS as stated in website. Arrives direct from China via Jin. Return policy involves mailing back to China with transport/custom fees paid by customer. Vendor offered 10%, then 25% cash refund, basically intending to keep 90-75% of my US dollar payment. No US representation to support their EASY return policy. No such Boutique in Charleston, nor SC, nor US.

Fake return policy, total scam, do not buy from them

After reading these reviews, I contacted CS before making my purchase and confronted them on the restocking fees. It took 2 emails for them to admit it, then they begrudgingly claimed on some occasions they do and it is explained in the return policy. I sent them the return policy from the website and pointed out it that no, it does not mention the restocking fees. They acted surprised. I have never seen more overt BS. This company is obviously a total scam.

Horrible

Horrible. Cheap items that don’t look anything like they are pictured. Their 30-day return policy appears hassle free, but you are charged for shipment and customs directly back to China which is like $150-$200. I told them they should note this on their return policy and they said thanks for the input. The worst part is, the emails are signed “much love.” Yuck. I’m left with seven dresses I don’t want.

Do not order from this place

Do not order from this place. The merchandise is horrible, the
customer service is worse. I’d give them a -10 if that was an option. Their return policy should be illegal!! You would have to pay more to return this junk than the junk costs itself. It’s the worst on line buying experience I e ever had. They won’t refund your money… I’ve been told they will refund 40% of what I have paid, but that was weeks ago!!!
I am CERTAIN any of the positive reviews are the result of a payment to the writer.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS SCAM COMPANY!

Total scam

Total scam! I would give them a zero review if i could. My nightmare with them began in July 2025, and it is still ongoing trying to get my full refund as of September 4, 2025. They are a shyster retailer directly in China. Quality of goods is a piece of sh**t. Using Charleston SC totally is a scam to get attention. No establishment in SC as claimed. Totally a lie and false advertising. Charleston SC would never sell this poor quality . No address.
I sent back the merchandise which I bought for over $300. I paid customs to send back clothes I would not want to give to a thrift store.
Celine responds with condescending lies for emails ending with “much love “
I am so angry as a woman who made a honest attempt at buying merchandise from what I assumed was a reputable company whose merchandise was on sale. They are thieves who have no morals, ethics or honesty who have stolen my money .
DO NOT ORDER FROM THESE CROOKS
I have every bit of correspondence I have made with these crooks as well as the tracking of sending back the piece of SH**T rags I embarrassingly paid good money for.
I am so angry at myself for not thoroughly reading, researching this before spending so much money. Stupid me 🤬😡😢 I wish there is n attorney to take up the case of those of us who unknowingly have been a victim of this fraudulent scheme of this shyster retailer if retailer is even what they are. They probably participate in child labor in China at this joint !

Order error - MY mistake

I made an error in ordering so I quickly shot yall an email explaining the problem. Celine answered back right away and quickly resolved the issue and could not have been nicer or more considerate. What a wonderful way to welcome me to your company. I made a mistake and Celine jumped right in and corrected my error like a champ! Thank you, Celine!

Terrible return policy definitely not hassle free

Terrible return policy I would not recommend buying from this company. They advertise have hassle free returns, which is definitely not true. There is a “restock fee” so you did not get the entire amount back I did try to do an exchange it didn’t fit and they said since they already returned it once I was just stuck with it and they kept my money. I definitely am not happy with this company

Terrible Company!

Don’t use this company that presents themselves as an American company. Forget returning anything to them as the cost of returning is more than the product itself (they include not only mailing fees, but an exorbitant customs clearing fee). All combined it would have been over $100! Now stuck with a $59 dress I’ll only wear as pajamas.

This business is misleading all of us, it has nothing to do with Charleston. The clothes come from overseas, my dress originated in China. It was awful, but when I tried to return it, the shipping charge was almost as much as the item! Never again will I shop with them.

Charleston Boutique is nothing but a scam website. This company says on the website that if you are unsatisfied with the merchandise is easy return. That's not true. They will charge you 100-150 to return back to China. Never intended to refund you. I have never come across this before. Learn my lesson. I suggest to you if you are thinking about ordering from this scam company, think again.

My clothes arrived in good time

My clothes arrived in good time. When a pièce of clothing didn’t fit, customer service was able to help acomadate me. I will continue to buy from Charleston Boutique. Their clothes are very unique too at good prices.

Me again with another warning about Charleston Boutique.
This is not the same place as Boutique Charleston which has good reviews. Please look at all the other reviews on Charleston Boutique and not shop here to hopefully put them out of business and spare others from getting ripped off.

Celine was great

I ordered a dress which was my size but was ‘too snug’ for my taste. Celine gave me numerous options to choose from to satisfy me. Some were too difficult to deal with. I kept the dress to give to someone else and I choose a voucher to reorder another dress which I did today. I am praying this one arrives in a timely manner. Thanks again Celine for your being so supportive.

The quality was beyond poor

The quality was beyond poor. It did not look like advertised and is sized very small. They do not accept returns...in that if you want to return a thin small dress they want to charge you $22.00+ to return the $22 dress. When you call to return they will offer you a replacement for "free" or a 10% return. I told them I did not want the item because it does not fit and does not look like the item. So I had to throw it away. Sad. Dont waste your money.

Checking out

Checking out, I was offered a lower discount. However, it was for the same item, which was unclear. I immediately tried to notify them of the mistake, and it was "too late" to stop the order. Now they are saying it will cost me more to return the duplicate item. Note that you cannot get in touch with them via phone, only email. Buyer beware.
