We will be sending you a request via Trustpilot for additional information that should help us trace and confirm your order. You will be notified and you can respond after that.

Refund Not Received

On April 27th 2022, I ordered sandals from Souk Sepia and after almost a month of waiting, I was emailed on 5/20/22 that my order had been canceled and a refund had been issued to me. As of today 5/28/22, I’m yet to receive my refund or any response from customer service pertaining to the status of my refund. After seeing all the negative reviews on this site as well as others, I’m disappointed that I didn’t check it out before ordering from this company.

Edit: Although it was strange for the company to request my PayPal email as a form of refund even though it wasn’t my original payment method, I still obliged and provided that info expeditiously. Yet as of today, 6/16/22, I still have not received a refund. Please beware of this company.

Final edit: As of 6/21/22, my money was finally refunded to me through PayPal. I am glad I wasn’t scammed out of my money but I’m still dismayed about the persistence needed to get it.

Hell Bonney,

Thank you for writing us! We are absolutely losing face due to the recent rise of unfortunate events that has greatly affected our reputation and the trust of our beloved customers.

Due to an unanticipated shortage of supply thanks to high demand for the Accra heels, they had gone out of stock. We totally miscalculated the situation and that has resulted to this predicament.

We are absolutely regretful for the inconvenience this has got you in. In the meantime, we also will be asking for your PayPal email instead while we fix the issue with our other payment gateways. We shall refund you immediately upon receipt of your PayPal email.

If you do not have a PayPal yet, creating one is pretty quick and easy, so you don't need to worry. You will still receive your money back. Looking forward to hearing back from you! A representative will be messaging you to ask for your PayPal details so we can refund you.

Do Not Buy From Souk and Sepia

I hate to leave a review like this but it is what it is. I placed 2 orders on January 9, 2022. One order for a coat and the other for a 2 dresses and a hat. I waited patiently for a month without a tracking number or anything. I reached out and like everyone else I received a lengthy email explaining that there were shipping delays and blah blah blah. They asked me to wait like 3 more weeks and said I should have my things. I waited another whole month with no tracking info, nothing. I reached out again and again I got another lengthy email of excuses. I waited ANOTHER months and with no items in site I disputed the charges via paypal and received every penny. Do no buy from this merchant.

Hello Sandy,

Thank you for writing about your thoughts on souk + SEPIA as a company. It is true, that we've been plagued by delays recently and have, as you all can see, struggled to fulfill orders due to the effects of the new COVID-19 restrictions in our partner merchant's area.

We are resolving this in the form of 2 new upcoming warehouses in California and New Jersey to save everyone more time as packages will be delivered from within the country once both are up and running.

We hope you'll be around when these are fully operational so you can get the experience you deserve. We really would appreciate a shot at redemption.

WORST EVER !!!!!

Hello, I ordered a blouse , a pair of earrings and a pair of sunglasses. The blouse I ordered looks nothing like the advertised piece. It was boxy and had no shape to it. I still haven't received my sunglasses or earrings, it's been over 3 months. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE AWFUL !!! I don't normally leave reviews, but this was the worst experience I've had with a business !!!!

Hello Janet,

We would like to express our gratitude for going out of your way to personally write us a review. We are well aware of the shipping delays that have affected multiple customers and their trust and confidence on us, have also been negatively impacted.

We know how much y'all have been agonizing about these delays which is why we are in the process of acquiring two new warehouses which will considerably reduce shipping times.

We'd like to further apologize for the inconvenience caused by our negligence on the quality control area. We are willing to process refunds for you if you no longer wish to wait for the two other items.

We are looking forward to hearing back from you again soon! Please let us know how you'd like to proceed at gratitude@soukandsepia.com and it would be our pleasure to help you!

Shame On You Souk & Sepia!!!

They need to shut Souk and Sepia down! Why is the website still up?! It's crazy! I ordered a couple of items from them January 15, 2 items January 16, and 1 other item January 20. They have a lot of cute clothes, and appear to be a legitimate website. However, they've proven they can't be trusted. People work too hard for their money, and no one has time for fraudulent practices pertaining to their money. I did receive the 2 items I ordered on January 16, swiftly. A sweatshirt, and matching pants. So, I thought I will surely receive my other items. When I noticed I didn't receive a shipping notification pertaining to my other items (in a reasonable time), I contacted them on several occasions. Like everyone stated, they send you an essay of phony apologies as to why your items haven't shipped. And how they appreciate you as a customer. They lie, and insure that your order will ship eventually. They never deliver on their promises. When I ordered from them, their shipping delay excuse (at the time) was to blame it on the Chinese New Year, smh. I got sick and tired of waiting around for them, and demanded a refund for all my other items that wasn't fulfilled. It was a month, when I didn't receive my other orders, smh. I just visited their website (just now), and they still have a shipping delay alert. Only this time, it's different. That's ridiculous, and tells A lot! Buyers beware! Please, don't waste your money or your time! Souk and Sepia, you should be ashamed of yourselves! Your ridiculously high priced items should be shipped to customers at a reasonable time. There's no excuse, it's wrong what you have put people through, and unacceptable!

Hi Kea,

Thank you for writing in! We would like to express our deepest regrets for the chain of unfortunate events which compelled you to believe we are an illegitimate company. Understandable that when such things happen to you, it's only logical to believe you are being duped.

Establishing ourselves as a business that cares for its customers' wellbeing, the apologies are of course, wholeheartedly meant. This business was built with customer service and satisfaction as its core which is why we genuinely feel ashamed for troubling you.

We know how much the delays have affected our good relationship with our customers' lately so we have been cooking something up for everyone, and that is two new warehouses in CA and NJ. The acquirement of these warehouses will dramatically decrease shipping times.

We also make sure to process refunds to customers who are not satisfied with us, so in this regard, we are a real company.

Hello Haniyah,

Thank you for writing us your thoughts and sentiments. We want you to know that we regret the misfortunate experience you had with your first and second orders. Upon taking a closer look at both orders, we see that the first order was a Final Sale item which only cost $39.99. However, it ran out of stock before we could ship it due to high demand which is why we had to refund you the amount.

The Final Sale items differ to regular ones because the former are never-been-used purchases that were sent back to us for exchange by customers. That's why it is sold for a relatively lesser price.

As per the Accra sandals, the pair's heels really was meant to be unidentical and we have pictures from another customer to further prove our case. I hope you have a pleasant rest of the evening!

Don't buy anything from here!

I initially ordered a sweater back in November and it delivered within 2 weeks, so I had no issues. I ordered my 2nd item at the beginning of February 2022 and literally have not received as much of an update on where my order is and when its scheduled to ship. I have been in touch with someone named "Fits" who has been trying to help me but they provide overly long and apologetics emails with no useful info and only to wait a little longer. While they have been nice to interact with, it has provided no help in getting my order. I have since requested a full refund and can no longer accept over 3 MONTHS to get one item. I would NOT recommend purchasing anything from this company due to their terrible shipping.

Hello, Kye! Thank you for leaving us your review here in Trustpilot. It may be a little too late, but we would like to ask for your forgiveness. All the trouble we've caused is unintentional, but we take full responsibility for those, nonetheless.

Upon taking a closer look at your order, I see that you also had an agreement with Fits for a refund and we hope you receive it as soon as possible. In early January, we have sent a mass email to our customers that some orders are to be backlogged for 6 to 8 weeks. It was even posted in our website's homepage.

Soon enough we will have two new warehouses up and running in New Jersey and California to dramatically lessen the shipping timeframes. Future orders will now be shipped from there instead of having it ship from our partner merchants' respective countries.

We are excited for this change to take effect, and at the same time, we're very thrilled to offer a much improved service to you, our dear customers.

Hello, Grace! Thank you for going out of your way to write us a feedback. We definitely do now wish this kind of experience for any of our customers. We apologize for letting you down this way. However, upon reviewing your order's records, we see that it has begun moving by the 10th of May, 8 days before the order becomes a month old. Standard shipping takes 3 to 15 business days but orders from early January have been stated to be backlogged by 6 to 8 weeks. Luckily, your item arrived less than a month after it was ordered. As per the item's sizing, we want to express our deepest regrets that you received something that doesn't spark joy in you. We would like to make up by providing you a refund in the form of store credits instead as we cannot monetarily refund Final Sale items for the reason that it's already highly discounted. We shall send you a follow-up email so we can get in touch and receive your decision. Looking forward to hear from you soon!

Bizarre - and no order to be found.

Souk has been the most bizarre shopping experience I have had to date.

I ordered nine weeks ago and I've been in contact with them about my order - they are very responsive and write out these incredibly apologetic, long, well thought-out and wordy emails about why your order is nowhere to be found.

Still no order. It's very strange.

Word of advice to Souk: Use the same energy and resources that you're using on communications and those pretty social media posts and re-allocate to actually getting your orders out.

Hello, Karla! We are deeply ashamed to face you after hearing about what you have to say about the delays. Your feedback is one that we can never really be mad about knowing that delays have been going on ever since the start of this year. We even had that posted in our website's homepage, some orders are backlogged for 6 to 8 weeks with the exception of Final Sale, WEARable Art and Athleisure which only takes around 2 to 3 weeks to ship. We can agree that your experience must be something that isn't commonplace as everything seems to be made quick and easy nowadays. We think it is completely normal for you to have this kind of reaction, but we do not want to make this a normal thing when ordering from us. For these reasons, we are in the final stages of acquiring 2 warehouses in New Jersey and California which will serve as a long-term solution for the delays here and there. We know our customer service is great and all, but we really would like to match that level with our shipping to make this organization truly exceptional. We pray that one day you'll be able to give us a shot at redemption.

Hi Carla,

We pay heed to your cries for help as this is our obligation as people of the customer care industry. We understand your frustrations as it has been a month since your order was placed.

Your sentiments are completely normal especially now that everything in the world is face-paced and seem instantaneous. We have posted a disclaimer in our website's homepage about the orders being backlogged for about 6 to 8 weeks with the exception of Final Sale, Athleisure and WEARable Art items which go for 2 to 3 weeks.

Luckily, as we were checking your order ID, we have found your items have been delivered on 14th of May 2022 per the UPS tracking number. We hope that by now, you are enjoying the items you've received!

My rating is based on you guys…horrible shipping

My rating is based on you guys shipping. I ordered well over 1 month ago and I just now received one of my orders. I never received an email telling me that my order had been shipped. There’s a disclaimer on the website informing customers that orders are backlogged, but I ordered from you guys over a yr ago and even than; the order took way to long. As a result of your poor shipping I don’t even want to shop with you guys again. Waiting 2 weeks for an order is a lot. Waiting over a month is a disgrace.

Hello Brandy,

We take accountability for the inconveniences you have suffered due to unfortunate circumstances, namely shipping delays. Indeed, there is a disclaimer stating orders may be backlogged for 6 to 8 weeks with the exception of the Final Sale, Athleisure and WEARable Art items which take the standard 2 to 3 weeks. Just to avoid confusion, April 9th of this year was when the order was placed according to the order ID. The package has been delivered on the 16th of May per the USPS tracking number.

Nonetheless, we get your frustrations and think take it seriously, as a reminder for ourselves to become better for you. It is bizarre to think that these roadblocks have paved the way for solutions. We hear all the cry-for-helps and have two new warehouses for our answer which will come be located at New Jersey and California.

The acquirement of said warehouses will dramatically reduce shipping times for orders and should, once and for all, become a long-term solution for the delays. With this, we are ready to face the future with newfound hope.

If it ain't right it ain't right

Have yet to receive my package. Or any communication about why it's so delayed. It's been over 3 weeks and no word. They forward you to a tracking website that doesn't even track your package. There's no way to get a hold of customer service. If the item I got wasn't on sale I would cancel the order but it was final sale. Really disappointed because I love the styles I see on the site but not pleased with the service and there's plenty of other sites with cute clothes. Maybe not black on but if it ain't right it ain't right.

Hi Louise,

We apologize for our shortcomings on providing adequate updates for your order's whereabouts. There have been cases of packages on the move despite couriers being unable to update the shipping information and this may have been one of those.

As a matter of fact, the item is already delivered as per the UPS tracking link we have got here for your order. We did not mean to leave you in the dark.

All that matters now is that your item is finally in your hands. Also would like to thank you for praising the styles we offer. We hope you can give us a chance to redeem ourselves.

Orders would be quicker once our NJ and CA warehouses are fully operational. This would mean lesser shipping time for your purchases!

Waste of money and time.

I placed an order on 4/5 and the order was in process for almost a month. I asked for the order to be cancelled and my money refunded. This still has not happened. To further increase my frustration and lack of confidence in this company. The shoes shipped and arrived 1 month after I placed the order and the order was to have been cancelled. The package was damaged, the box was crushed, jewels has fallen off one of the shoes because the glue used was garbage. Who ever packaged the shoes did NOT PERFORM A QUALITY CHECK as the jewels that fell off the one shoe were placed in the bag with the shoe where all the jewels were in tact. This has been the worst shopping experience with a company I have ever had.

Hi Tanya,

If we had full control over the shipping and quality checking, this wouldn't have happened. Know that it frustrates us just as much that things have headed into this direction.

We have been fully aware of the backlash we have been receiving for the past months, mainly caused by the delays, and are committed to find workarounds to improve our quality of service.

And what exactly are we doing to counter the delays? We are in the works (and in the final stages) of acquiring two warehouses in New Jersey and California to have the majority of your orders ship from these two states and within the country.

Most of our suppliers are located in Asia which has proved to be a problem for you and us. We sincerely extend our deepest apologies for the trouble you've been through. Nonetheless, your order has been refunded upon checking our order tracking system.

We hope that you can still give us a chance to prove our worth once the warehouses are fully operational. Wishing you a pleasant rest of the evening!

Hi Kelly,

Thank you for expressing your thoughts here. It is important for us to know about your troubles as knowing is the first step to resolutions.

We would like to express our deepest regrets for this truly unfortunate incident. Cash refunds, unfortunately is not an option as much as we would like it, for the reason that it is a Final Sale order in question.

We can, however, refund you in the form of store credits that are equal to the pair of shoes' cost. Would you fancy a store credit refund instead to get a better pair?

If so, we would gladly cater to this with a few extra credits you can spend on aside from the amount of your order. You can email us your decision at graititude@soukandsepia.com.

Then when I sent another email expressing my concern, they gave me a 15% credit ! Four more weeks went by and still no package, I finally ask for a full refund, I only received it because I threaten to report them to the BBB!

Hello Danyale,

It deeply wounds us to know that your experience didn't go quite well with us. No customer should be waiting for a month just to get packages they already paid for and we understand that well.

Our partner suppliers are bound by new COVID-19 restrictions in their respective areas, particularly our partners in Asia which make up more than half of our partner artisans.

As a long-term solution for these troubles, we proudly announce our acquiring of two warehouses, mainly in CA and NJ. This will dramatically decrease shipping times as most orders will be shipped from these states within the country.

We understand that developing companies like ours still have a lot to improve on, and we are optimistic about the upcoming changes.

Anyway, we are glad that you have been successfully refunded. We do not hold your money against you and we are fully confident to say that we are a fully-legitimate company with proper investors.

We hope this helps explain. We once again express our deepest regrets for your experience with us. We hope you'll be around to see and reap the benefits our improvements that are soon to take place!


With Gratitude,
