I ordered a backpack and wallet and was given a tracking #. It went thru all the tracking until it supposedly made it to the US then nothing. Ordered in Jan its now March. Sent their customer service a message got a generic message back about the pandemic impacting shipping etc and they will send a new one in 3-5 days. 5 days went by I sent another message ingot the same generic message back. I responded that yeah I got that communication 5 days ago I want my order reshipped. Willing to bet I'll have the same issue

by an anonymous user from: Dallas, Texas, United States

Update: still having the same issue. Seems once it makes it to the US the tracking stops and it gets lost

These guys are crooks. I ordered two customized Harry Potter wallets for me and my best friend and I was given a "tracking number" and as soon as it supposedly came here, I never got an update. I tried reaching them via email, Facebook, etc. The phone number on Google is a stranger's number. I tried spamming their Facebook and then their page ultimately blocked me. Scammers. I repeat, scammers.

I ordered from thenoveltygift.store and never received my item and their customer service does not respond. I ordered august 2022 and never received a refund either. It was too late to dispute the charge with the bank. The address and phone number that used to be listed on their site were both fake and belonged to different random people who spend months trying to get their info removed. I tried to leave a review on their facebook page and they blocked me. This website is a SCAM!!!

Same thing happened to me. I've sent countless emails to Novelty and the courier. No response. I was even blocked in Facebook. So sad. Wish I had known this before purchasing.

This happened to me as well. I disputed a transaction with my bank. Praying that I get my money back. They are complete scammers. And same thing happened to me, straight up blocked me as well. Never. Buy. Again.

I ordered the Bluetooth ear bud on December 13th and have not received it!

When I try to go to the website it's no longer available! They took my money out of my account pretty quickly that's for sure!

They sent me a tracking number and the website to track it but when I put in the tracking number it's not found!

I'm thinking I was scammed! It's a shame that these sites ruin it for legitimate sites!

Also to do this at the time of year! They should be ashamed of themselves! You know KARMA is a B*TCH

My daughter ordered the exact item that was FILLED viz amazon and she got it right away, of course.

I didn’t know she ordered it. I saw my item on Instagram so I didn’t go to amazon. Shame on me.

I ordered a product through Novelty Gift Store - an effervescent cleaner. It didn't work nearly as well as the website showed or promised. But there was a money back guarantee. However, after multiple contacts, they never got back to me. Their money back guarantee is no good.

I ordered a smartwatch 360° HD camera & instead received some cheap health wristband. Have not had any reply from numerous emails, facebook messages and their own site "Contact Us" a total rip off & fraud. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

I ordered a smartwatch and did not receive it at all. Instead I received a cheap athletic band and upon emailing them asking to get my correct order, they stopped replying to me and rejected my emails despite me having proof that what I received was not what I ordered. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM.

HI All!

I ordered the Smartwatch with 360 Rotating HD Camera from NoveltyGift and received instead smart bracelet TLW08. Nothing like the product ordered. Furthermore, I researched and found that they are misleading many customers and are a bunch of scams. Their address on their website is fake and does not exist to be the case.

Delivery of the product came after numerous followups to no reply at all. Product delivery address is Romm 210, No. 5 Fuqian Second Street, Tianzhu County, ShunyI District, BeiJingShI Beijing 101300, China.

A word of advise " always re-check web address before ordering. A bunch of scam artists.

Not at all worth the money spent!

Hope my post here can save your money.

Once bitten, Twice shy!

I ordered exactly the same Smartwatch and I also received the bracelet, piece of junk! TOTAL SCAM.

I ordered a 1080p Drone for $99 on 7-9-2018. I did receive a tracking number but still have not received the product. The tracking number is idle and last update was on 7-20-2018 in New York City.

After emailing the company several times with no response I decided to open a dispute with Pay Pal. A few minutes after opening the dispute I receieved a response from the company which is probably just an auto responder as follows:

"Dear Customer

We are reminded of your information and think highly of your complaints. So we promise that you will get our quick respond within 48 hours and appropriate favour from us. Hoping you can understand and waiting patiently."

I have no hope for ever receiving this product nor my $99 back. Buyer Beware!
