Nothing but a scam

Absolutely disgusted with District 5 Boutique! My sister bought a dress from them, and they later said it wasn’t available. Fine, stuff happens. But then they promised store credit but suddenly closed her account. Now they won’t give her the credit or even reply to her emails! This is beyond shady and super unprofessional. Avoid this place at all costs. THIS BUSINESS IS ONLY SCAMMING PEOPLE! We have contacted the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, hopefully they will stop these people from scamming anybody else!

Editing to add reply to their "reply" below: The only reason you put this reply below is to give the impression to viewers that "you are doing something about it". Do you know how many times we contacted your customer service number and how many emails we sent you? You did not help us then, you took our money and cancelled our order without any intention of giving us the product or our money back. You have our number and email address, if you really want to resolve this, you call us or email us and resolve it. This is a shady business you are running, I hope people see my review and not lose their money with you.

Deceitful Company

District 5

I purchased a gown that ended up not fitting me properly. The gown cost over $4200. I returned it and was told that, because it was a pre-order, I would not receive a refund, but would receive store credit instead. While annoying, I was fine with that. I was not, however, fine with anything that happened with District 5 from that point on.

To utilize my store credit from the returned gown, I ordered a different gown in September of 2023. Per Disteict 5, the gown was to be delivered in March of 2024. The gown never arrived.

In April, I emailed District 5 several times to inquire about the status of the order and no one ever responded. I finally connected with someone there through a what’sapp message and they apologized and confirmed that there was a delay with my order. They offered to allow me to replace the delayed gown with another gown that they had in stock, which they promised to send out right away, or they said I could wait for the delayed gown. They have a very limited stock of items, so I opted to wait for the gown I ordered.

A few days went by and then they messaged me to say that they are no longer able to fulfill any orders from the designer of the gown I ordered. This was now SEVEN MONTHS after I first placed the order and days after they told me its delivery was forthcoming. Their website and email advertisements also continue to promote pieces from that same designer. This was incredibly frustrating, but I moved on and decided to spend my store credit on another gown.

I placed another order in June, again to try to utilize the store credit from the initial returned gown. To my shock, I received a message several days later saying that my credit had expired and could not be used for any items other than a very limited number of items they have in stock. After SEVEN MONTHS of silence from District 5; after promise after promise that my order was just delayed; they have decided just to keep the over $4,200 I originally paid for the returned dress unless I take one of the small number of items they have on the hanger. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Do not under any circumstance purchase from this deceitful company.

Dear Fatimah,

We recently came across your review regarding District 5 Boutique, and I wanted to address your concerns directly to ensure clarity.

- We wish to emphasize that District 5 ensures transparency over our return and store credit policy for our customers to be fully informed before proceeding with their orders. I understand returns for store credits weren't your preference, however please note that these information were readily available on our website prior to your purchase.

- Upon review, the cancellation of your second order was something beyond our full control and we deeply regret what happened along with the inconvenience it caused you. That is why, despite the store credit expiration, we provided the courtesy of maximizing it towards our ready to wear collection.

- The Crepe Jumpsuit with Fils-Coupé Coat in size US 14 was successfully to you last September 9th, 2024 via USPS tracking# 9405530109355031053126.

We trust you are enjoying your recent purchase and we hope you understand that as a business, we also have our governing policies to ensure fairness and consistency in all our transactions.

Should you have further questions or concerns, our Customer Service Team will be happy to assist you anytime.

Sincerely,
Client - VIP Engagement Team

Avoid At All Costs!!!

Please avoid ordering from this website at all costs. They entice you to order through their site with big discounts and coupon codes, but never have any plans to fulfill the order or put the dresses into production. After months of waiting for my wedding dress to arrive, and countless back and forth emails with them stalling saying they were waiting on information from their processing team, we learned the order was never placed with the designer and no dress was ever put into production. We are now scrambling trying to get a replacement option in time for the wedding on top of trying to get a refund from this scam website. If their listed prices seem too good to be true, it's because they are! Learn from my mistake and order directly through a designer, it's always the safer option.

NEVER AGAIN!!!

Please NEVER order from this website. They are fraud, whatever dress I've ordered from them in the past. Never came on time and never came at all. They will not return your money. They offeR store credit, which they also limit you from buying any other luxury brand dresses only what's in stock, Which is all garbage and not worth the price. The prices are overrated. You can get all the dresses they have on website anywhere else for less! The customer service sucks.
I had $5000 install credit. And I was limited from buying any other luxury brand only what was in stock.
That was not worth the money. They had nothing in my size and they said that they did me a favor by giving me store credit In other words, they would've kept my money!!!.

Horrible customer service, NEVER order from here!!

I recently attempted to use my store credit, which was still showing up in my account but they claim it had expired. I was trying to purchase another expensive gown from their website, and they refused to honor my store credit. They stole my money and continuously refused to give it back after several emails back and fourth. Fraud company!!! NEVER order from them.

NEVER

NEVER, NEVER, purchase a dress from DISTRICT 5 boutiques. This web is a FRAUDE. I ordered a dress it was huge for me I returned the dress and I was given store credit.I used my store credit and ordered a pre-order dress, After they canceled the order I was not reimbursed. Meanwhile, I had a balance of store credit, I used my balance and I paid an extra 1300$, The dress was returned, and they gave me a store credit and then closed the account. They have scammed me with 4500$, and this case is still open If my credit card company does not solve this I will call authorities and consumers protection

This is the worst company to work with

This is the worst company to work with. Ordered a dress 6 months ago and they charged me but never delivered. This is a scam and absolutely horrible to work with. Will be filing claim against them. Not only is this wrong it is embezzlement and fraud. Not ok.

SCAM!

SCAM!! I ordered a dress and 4 months later I found out they never placed it with the designer. They trick you pretending they are following up, to make you loose time to dispute the credit card charge.
Fraud scheme - shame on you District5boutique!
