The scale of rating should be -10.
Absolute scammers. Thought it was a nz company. They took my money in Australian $. Didn't know this till I checked my bank account. Won't reply to emails. Everything about them is FAKE.

The product is NOT AS advertised. A huge disappointment.
It is not Stained Glass but a plastic model with wire around it.
I have given it to Kids as a toy.
Do not purchase.

This company is a scam, I have not received the bags I ordered despite my order being confirmed and being told they were on their way. They have never arrived and when I emailed the support address on the website it can back as undelivered. No such address. Do not be fooled by them. I am a pensioner and have lost half of my weeks pension. The bank are investigating but don’t hold out hope of getting any money back. They are a pack of crooks.

This is a total scam! I ordered 8 x bags thinking they would be great Christmas gifts. They never arrived. The QR CODE to scan for tracking details is a total scam also. Once I got through the process of this, it stated that my parcel had been delivered 2 hours ago. This is totally untrue and never received. They state they are a New Zealand based company. I should have seen the red flag when they asked for payment in Australian dollars!! Their website and email address is both fake. I had to cancel my credit card etc etc. These scum scammers have also set up a very similar website scamming for cashmere and mohair jumpers. DO NOT BE FOOLED by this site either. This site is called the Hawke Sisters. The site I have mentioned above is Lara Wellington.

Always check the reviews first. These people are scammers, I ordered a bag for my daughters birthday, it has never arrived and I can't contact them. They do not reply to my emails. I received a tracking number which does not show me anything but stopped me from cancelling the payment for a few days.
They are not a lovely mother and daughter pair from Wellington as the ad suggested they are lowlife scum- bags that prey on idiots like me.

Saw an advert on the internet for stained glass animal lamps discounted to $79-95 - seemed a good deal so I ordered one on 24 June (2026). I thought I was dealing with a NZ business (Wellington?) only to find on receipt of the invoice that it was in Australian currency. A second email received on that date advised that the order was "on its way", with a 20 numeral tracking number. On 4 July I sent an email follow up as nothing had been received, and their tracking system needed me to sign up to another site, which I was not going to do. Still nothing was received or a response by 15 July so I looked at their website - should have done that first! There are so many indicators that this is a SCAM.A couple if the email addresses don't work either. I have contacted my bank and initiated a "Disputed Transaction" claim. Hopefully I can get my money back.
