Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 193 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers consistently report that the products received, particularly the lamps, are made of cheap plastic and do not resemble the advertised stained-glass items. Many found the items to be significantly smaller than depicted on the website and of very poor quality, often described as looking like a child's toy or dollar store junk. Reviewers also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the price, feeling that the items were not worth the amount paid, leading to a perception of poor value. The website itself was frequently criticized for advertising products as handcrafted in the USA by sisters, when in reality, the items are mass-produced and shipped from China. The product images were also found to be inaccurate and not reflective of the actual item received. The return process was also a point of frustration, with customers discovering they would have to pay expensive shipping costs to return items to China.

I've been rarely scammed, but I was in this case. The item received was plastic and poorly painted. It didn't even come close to looking like the stained-glass item advertised. As I should have antic... See more

Total let down, $5 Temu quality

Just received the product I orders for my girlfriend for her birthday. It’s the French bulldog lamp. It looks terrible. Absolutely feel ripped off. Compare the website photo to the product we received. I even tipped $10 based on how sad the lady looks in the homepage. Wish I would’ve looked the reviews up beforehand. There is no way this isn’t a scam. If anyone spent the $225 on one of these I feel so terrible you. This looks more like a $5 Temu item

Found out it's a scam

Found out it's a scam and cancelled credit card payment. Thanks Trustpilot!
Purchased two days ago as birthday gift for my daughter, thinking it would ship from Seattle. After looking at tracking info ending in ca, I realized it comes from China. Reviews led me to cancel credit card payment, as the company is refusing to cancel order, stating the item has shipped, but only shows as label created.

False and misleading product description

I ordered what was supposed to b a stained glass turtle lamp. When my order finally arrived over a month later it was a cheap plastic lamp . It was nothing like the pictures or description of the item shown on their website. And now they expect me to pay the return shipping to Asia to attempt to get a refund. If the item was what was implied on their website I wouldn't b returning it. I dont feel I should have to pay out any more money for return shipping than what I've already spent (65.00)

They are not anything like that…it's a scam

They are not anything like that represented.
Very disappointed with the product.
I ordered the stained glass boxer...
It is not glass, it is plastic.
There return process is ridiculous.
It is cheaper to keep the Crapy product.
I do not reccomend them at all...
If I could give no stars I would.
Its a scam!

I quickly got my money back, this is how.

I fell for this too but thanks to all the reviews here I canceled with in minutes. Glad I checked. It's a very convincing website.

I'm writing this to let people know that they tried to deny my canceling of the order and told me to wait until I received it and if I don't like it send it back. I replied with a short email "this is obviously a scam and I will not be your victim. I will get with my credit card company to get my refund.".

They quickly emailed me back telling me it's been fully refunded and to please not put a complaint into my credit company with some bs reasons why.

They really don't want those complaints so try that if they sucker you too.

Ps. I had to email them directly, the contact form on the website didn't work

Ellie Seattle / MD Trading Co has false advert

I ordered 4 items from Ellie Seattle. The website states stained glass lamps in it's description. I believed the store was in Seattle. I received an email to track my order. I clicked on it and it showed place of shipment as China. I became concerned and contacted PayPal. The company was MD Trading not Ellie-Seattle. I sent a message about my concerns to this company. I felt they were deceiving in their advertising. They responded, so I thought I'd wait until the product can. 3 weeks later I got my purchase. The items were cheap plastic lamps. I escalated PayPal complaint to request a refund since this company did not send me the glass stain lamps. But since I received the items, PayPal sided with the company. I couldn't protest it. So I went to my credit card company and stated this was fraudulent website , a scam and deceiving. My credt card sided with me. I sent them good documents.

Report them to the Federal Trade…

Report them to the Federal Trade Commision. These people are scammers.
I purchased a lamp. The item delivered was a miniature cheap plastic imitation of the item shown on their website. The customer service is despicable. If you already ordered from this company please report them to the Federal Trade Commission and complain. This is the only way to get compensated for being cheated out of your hard earned money. Please please please report them. Without customer complaints this awful company will continue to cheat customers. The company sake pitch of going out of business and selling their items on sale is a complete scam.

The Product is super cheap

The Product is super cheap. I mean dollar tree, Temu cheap. They made it look like it was larger and worth $220 dollars. I would say $2.50 maybe a fair price. I wise I could post a picture of this palm sized lamp.

Ordered stain glass lighted dog

Ordered stain glass lighted dog. Advertising is very disseving not glass, not high end resin but cheap colored plastic. Other sites sell same item at under $10 US. I paid Ellie Seattle over $45 US for a low quality plastic light. I feel like I was scammed because they show in their advertisement a retail price of $225 US slashed to $45 for a colored plastic USB light. The $10 dollar price is the most realistic price for the quality.

It's plastic and not stained glass

I ordered this piece in the middle of February it was on a website on Yahoo news when I was reading an article I read all about where they were from and saw their art and the two sisters and then their husband helping so I ordered a shih Tzu because I had just lost my dog when I got the item and saw it was plastic and just painted little squares I was so ticked off I contacted them through their support line and all I got was a bunch of BS I will never buy from this company again and it's a big scam so buyer beware

The cat I ordered is nothing like I seen in picture. Very disappointed...doesn't light up pretty like the picture showed. For the price I paid for it, was not worth it. Shouldn't even give it a 1 rating, should be a zero. Cheaply made.

Huge scam

An advertisement on Instagram showed a company who was shuttering their business and offering a huge sale on remaining product for large, gorgeous stained-glass lamps for $44.95. After ordering, I noticed the shipment coming from China which seemed odd because it was supposed to be handmade lamps coming from within the U.S. When I finally researched the company (which I admit I should have done from the start), I found numerous scam complaints and started to realize the images being shown on their website and social media platforms are AI-generated. I received a product a couple weeks later, but it is about 1/8 the advertised size and made of poorly painted plastic. Absolutely a scam company and I wish I did my research beforehand.

This is a fraud site selling cheap Chinese drop ship items that not only can be bought for half the price on many other sites, but the delivered items are total crap in comparison to the photos of the items for sale.
