Customer service and shopping

My email about size reorder was answered immediately and they really try and please the customer. This was my first purchase I made from an IG post I saw and I will definitely be buying more.

This company is a sham

This company is a sham. They do not provide a refund on the items you purchase if the items do not fit. They want to negotiate with you. They tell you to keep the item that does not fit and want you to order another item to replace it. Huh? What???

Just don't

Size chart not reliable, fabric is of very poor quality, color was not as pictured or noted. Several emails sent over past two weeks with no response. Vendor uses Charleston SC to market but has nothing to do with Charleston, they are China based. Oh and the deceptive discount when ordering caused me to purchase the dress twice in error. I have disputed the charge on my credit card.

What I love most about Charleston…

What I love most about Charleston Boutique is how it makes me feel special, like I’m shopping at a real boutique even though I’m sitting on my sofa, and their clothes feel elegant and age-appropriate without being frumpy, which is not easy to find for someone like me in her sixties, and my latest order came earlier than expected, wrapped so beautifully that I felt like I was opening a gift, and the fabric of the dress I bought is soft and breathable, and it drapes perfectly without hugging too tightly, and the emails I received were so well written and reassuring, and I’ve already told two of my friends that this is my new favourite store because it’s rare to find fashion that’s both stylish and comfortable for women my age.

Very disappointing experience

Very disappointing experience. The image of the dress was great, however the dress itself is of very poor quality and it does not seem to be made using apparel fabric. I am still trying to get resolution, and my position is that the “30 day money back guarantee” is useless. I was offered the opportunity to exchange for a different dress and pay shipping and handling. No thanks.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE AWARE

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, BE AWARE! This "company" is a total scam! I wish I had done the usual checking I do no a company BEFORE ordering. Don't be like me and think you are ordering from a true Charleston Boutique! Order went smoothly, items came quickly. However, the quality is horrible, sizing suspect, and even though it says you can return in 30 days, keep reading! You have to return all items directly to CHINA, the return postage is equal to or possibly greater than what I paid for the items. To be fair, they did answer my email, and told me that they would be happy to give me a 100% store Credit and I keep the ill fitting - poorly made items, or....they would happily refund me 10% to "help" cover the shipping costs for return. I will be donating the items somewhere, in hopes that someone else might fit into them! DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM!!!!

This is not a US company

This is not a US company. Payment is collected internationally. The dresses come from China & are nothing as described. The site states 30 returns but customs & transport fees to return to China are more than the value of the purchase. Of course they don’t tell you that until you request return information.

I purchased a dress that was too small…

I purchased a dress that was too small and customer service was fantastic. Quickly fix the issue and a new size is on its way. I had read some reviews that said they were not responsive but this is not true!!! They responded fast and were nothing sort of amazing!

Not a real company in Charleston. Cheap clothes, sizes unregulated, no returns, try to take you for additional money. Coming from another country by slow boat.

I would give Charleston Boutique 0…

I would give Charleston Boutique 0 stars if possible. This place is a fraudulent on line store with no moral compass at all. And be prepared if the item or items do not fit or you want to return for whatever reason. You will have to send back to China, pay all fees and hope that it makes it there within the next six months or ever. Fair warning, DO NOT ever buy from these people, they just want to take your money and run. Be smarter than I was, run don’t walk. There are much better websites. These people have never seen Charleston!!!!!
