Was told an item was $50 but got charged $127!
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
Update: still having the same issue. Seems once it makes it to the US the tracking stops and it gets lost
now May 30 and they have stopped responding to all inquiries. super scam, they give u support until the period for a charge back is up for most banks
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.
Did any of y’all get your money back from the bank?

I haven't received my Kalimba, and they say they are reviewing my order and still will not get back with me.
I also purchased a Kalimba and received email confirmation on December 12 that my order is on the way.I have sent follow up emails and haven't heard from them.
I am in the same situation as the rest of you. Ordered, rec'd confirmation, cannot contact via phone or internet. I am contacting my credit card company as well as the Better Business Bureau. Recommending others do the same.
I ordered a Brown 17 key Kalimbra on Nov. 19, 2018.I have never received it even though they said it shipped.
I placed an order almost a month ago and have not received it. My name is Susan Graves from Kenosha Wisconsin. Can you check on it please?
I ordered the 2 Bluetooth earphones, never received
I order two transformer cars and on November 24. I received an email saying they shipped but still have not received them.
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. Dave
I bought 30 tablets of the effervescent tablets but did not get the watering can. It stated regardless of the amount of order you would get one.
I bought the effervescent cleaner tablets. They do not work. This is a scam product from a scam website. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE.
I bought two wrist watches and I got two smart wristband instead. I am really p*ssed that I was scammed of my money and time. please DO NOT SHOP on their site cos you will not get what you paid for. Thank you
I bought a 360 camera watch and sent me a completely different watch.I wrote them but I did not answer them anytime. Scammers, scammers, scammers. Do not buy anything from this shop.
I bought a 360 camera watch and they sent me a totally different watch.I wrote them but the answer is they sent me the right watch.If you don't want to loose your money, don't buy anything there
I ordered May 2018 a watch on the site,and they send me a totally different watch and now they say that I recieved the right watch.I send many emails with pictures from the watch I ordered and the watch they send me,and every time I get the same email back with sorry (looks like a robot or standard email) So DONT buy anything on this site!
I ordered Bluetooth Earphone MinI Wireless in Ear Earpiece Cordless Hands Free Headphone - WHITE × 1 on June 17th 2018.It’s now August 19th 2018. They 7-10 days delivery. I’ve tried contacting them many times. Never got a reply. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE FAKES. The Paypal went to ZG TECHNOLOGY CO.,LIMITED. So I’d be careful of them too.
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.
After more than 1 month I received the Smartwatch but it does not look at all like the one I ordered, this one is from the 99 cents store. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS ONLINE STORE!!
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.
This company does not send the product that is advertised; its a rip off company
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 CustomerWe 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!
Ordered a watch, it doesn't even look like the one I've ordered. Scam.
Same happened with me. Did you get a refund?
