I ordered earrings for my daughter which were disappointing when they arrived. Nothing like the photo on the website. I tried to obtain an address to return them, as their website said full refund would be given if product not satisfactory. After many emails to the company I could not get an address to return them. I am left with earrings I do not want and cannot get a refund for. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY

Wish I’d read reviews
Wish I’d read reviews, wanted a ring whilst I wait for my engagement ring to be re sized. Paid 25 quid supposedly down from 100. Looked pretty but got a plastic ring like a toy from a cracker!

Poor quality and service.
Bought a ring which was very poor quality so asked to return it which took weeks of emails to get the process then they said I had to return it to China which would cost st least £10.
Do not recommend this seller.

Thank you for your message. The order number you provided ( 180048 ) is not in our system. Our order numbers begin with the number 4, and the number you shared appears to belong to Koala Brand Jewels (www.koalabrandjewels.com ), not Koala Jewels Brand. We have no affiliation with that company and only learned about them after getting inquiries from their customers.
We unfortunately cannot access orders from that company. Please double-check your order details with the correct brand so they can assist you further.
If your order was indeed placed with us, please provide the correct order number so we can help resolve any issues.

SCAMMER'S DO NOT BUY!
SCAMMER'S DO NOT BUY!
My friend's dog had passed away and I saw a lovely necklace with a dog pendant on koala and I purchased one. I thought it was silver and cost £32.99.
Customer Service and the tracking was not good, but eventually I managed to track it on Yodel. It stated it was from Aliexpress. I looked it up on their website and saw that the necklace cost just £1.80. I opened a dispute with my bank and they refunded me. This is the 4th scam I've had from various bogus companies in 2 months. It is shocking.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and, first and foremost, sorry for your friend’s loss. We understand why this purchase was meaningful and how upsetting this situation must have been.
We’d like to clarify that our jewelry is fashion jewelry, and unless explicitly stated, items are not solid silver. We work with international manufacturing and fulfilment partners, which can sometimes lead to tracking updates showing third-party logistics providers or marketplaces — we understand how this can be confusing and apologize for the lack of clarity.
Pricing reflects more than the manufacturing cost alone and includes sourcing, quality checks, logistics, platform fees, taxes, and customer support. That said, we’re sorry that the value and presentation of the item did not meet your expectations.
If a bank dispute has already been resolved, we acknowledge that outcome. However, we regret that your experience has left you feeling misled, and your feedback regarding tracking, communication, and transparency has been noted and is being taken seriously.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review feedback like this helps us identify where we need to improve.
Do not buy from this company
Do not buy from this company. They are selling the same cheap rubbish that you get on Temu for a fraction of the cost. All Koala do is present it on a 'Western' style website at a huge markup. Very clever. Very duplicious.
I should have known better as the descriptions on their website are intentionally vague.
I ordered a ring for my daughter for £24.99. It was advertised as being reduced from nearly 3 times that. I later discovers the same ring on Temu for £2.99.
It arrived from China after 3 weeks in a cheap dirty plastic pouch placed in a jiffy bag - no ring box, no receipt, no branding. The ring was cheap metal.
Absolute rip-off. Avoid at all costs.

Husband ordered me a little ring as a treat and it arrived damaged and nothing like the photos on the website.
I see from their response to others I have no chance of a refund so will be asking my bank to start the charge back process.

Awful
Awful ! Paid £22 for a pair of earrings which the website were advertising at a reduction from £80! The photos made the item look like genuine silver. Took two weeks to arrive in a shoddy envelope with a postal mark of Hong Kong. Upon opening the item the earrings are clearly awful plastic toot and put in a plastic packet. I feel cheated of my monies! May as-well have burnt £22! I wish I had checked the reviews on them before buying. This company is a scammer!

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we understand how disappointing this must have felt.
We want to clarify that our earrings are fashion jewellery, and the materials used are described in the product details on our website. The images are intended to show design and style, not to imply solid silver unless explicitly stated. That said, we’re sorry if this was not clear enough and led to confusion.
Regarding delivery, some of our items are shipped from our international fulfilment partners, which can explain the postage marking and delivery timeframe. We apologise if the packaging fell short of what you expected — this is certainly not the impression we want to give.
We would really like the opportunity to resolve this for you. Please contact our customer support team at info@koalajewelsbrand.com
with your order number, and we’ll be happy to review your case and discuss a suitable resolution.
Your feedback is important to us, and we are actively using it to improve both our product descriptions and customer experience.

Do not order from this company. They ignore your emails, despite me sending them the exact information they requested.
On the 5 November 2025 I ordered a pair of vintage amber earrings for £22.40. I was looking forward to receiving them, but 3 weeks later, after no contact from Koala to advise about why the delivery delay, I received a totally different pair of cheap, pink stone earrings that I really would never wear because they looked very cheap and of extremely poor quality. I emailed Koala and received a reply on 29 November, within 2 days, which was hopeful, to advise I send photos and order no/proof of purchase. I was confused as I'd sent this info already to the customer service email. However, I again sent photos of what I'd ordered, what I'd received, photo of the invoice and order no. I heard nothing and again emailed the details on 1 December. I've heard nothing at all and do not understand;
Why this company is still allowed to trade, given the appalling ratings and number of negative reviews?
Why have Trading Standards not become involved as they are clearly a dishonest company?
What should I do to further my complaint and help get this company taken down or at least respond and deal with the hundreds of complaints?

Nothing like the photo
Nothing like the photo - poor quality and over priced. Delivery was delayed by weeks. Have started refund process but they are taking ages and delaying me by asking I would like money off next purchase instead of a refund! Having read these reviews I may not bother with refund process as have to pay for sending them back and sounds like you often don’t get money back. £20 not well spent - it’s a taught me a lesson!

The site is a scam
Reply to company's response:
I have already contacted your team and I have not received the support that the website assures customers of. I have been told via email that I have to pay to return the item by recorded mail and then a refund will be considered. On the website, however, it says that returns are free of charge, and that shopping with the site is secure. I have found both to be false, and will begin a fraud complaint with my bank to recover the money if the issue is not sorted. I maintain that the site is a scam.
Original Review:
Like others who have reviewed the company here, the earrings I received in the post are completely different from those I ordered. The site is a scam, and I will be reporting it as such.
