    They never tell you that it is shipped from New Jersey but you must return it to CHINA! $35.00 to mail it.nInferior product! RIP OFF!

  • March 2, 2020 at 3:30 AM by an anonymous user from: Duluth, Minnesota, United States

    These people are crooks, plain and simple. They did the same to me as above. Be warned! Do not give these jerks your money or you too will regret it.

  • February 10, 2020 at 3:53 PM by an anonymous user from: Rocklin, California, United States

    DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THE COMPANY! HELP PUT HONEYSTAR.COM OUT OF BUSINESS! They don't honor their return policy. Product was extremely cheaply made, and though my shoe size is true size, they did NOT fit me at all. Tried to return within 30-day "so-called" return policy, and they would NOT even provide return address. Told me to give them away to some who fits them (all my friends wear much bigger shoe size than me. I got stuck paying large amount of money for a cheap product that doesn't fit!. PUT HONEYSTAR.COM OUT OF BUSINESS. BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU SHOULD SHUT THEM DOWN!

    • March 2, 2020 at 3:28 AM by an anonymous user from: Duluth, Minnesota, United States

      The same thing is happening to me, the boots I ordered do not fit are very cheap made and the jerks in customer service told me to give them away as well, like who would want that c**p? In the mean time they keep offering me a gift card of increasing amounts. DO NOT ORDER from these crooks!

  • January 30, 2020 at 1:42 PM by an anonymous user from: Wenatchee, Washington, United States

    I just wrote a complaint notice last night. Today the shoes showed up. No complaint just that it took 3 months to receive products. Not good.

    Quality wise I work out of my home needed light shoes to keep from stubbing toes and not tripping around. The product I ordered was just that and probably will get a lot of wear on them just wearing them in the house. Wont use this company again just because of principle.

  • January 25, 2020 at 10:26 AM by an anonymous user from: Buffalo, New York, United States

    The boots are total c**p; sent them back but was never issued credit. I think the better business bureau should get involved and bust this scam. how dear they take money from hard working people. how come this company get on PayPal anyways?

  • January 2, 2020 at 9:29 AM by an anonymous user from: Matthews, North Carolina, United States

    I also bought these c**p shoes and received same email with 'not our fault' and $5 gift card in our store. Has anyone been able to get an actual refund from this 'company'? Does anyone have their phone number? Otherwise, don't buy!

    • January 22, 2020 at 12:14 PM by an anonymous user from: Bedminster, New Jersey, United States

      Nope, they keep going back and fourth with bullsh**t

    • January 12, 2020 at 8:59 AM by an anonymous user from: Hutchinson, Minnesota, United States

      hi, I fell for it too, I've been waiting 2 months now, I used a credit card to buy online! I learned, should have known to check this bogus ad first, I emailed a that I wanted a refund, probably won't get it. how do these people stay active, how do you report it and to who?

      • January 12, 2020 at 9:49 AM by info

        Open a dispute with your bank to have your money refunded. I hope it is not too late.

        • March 2, 2020 at 3:33 AM by an anonymous user from: Duluth, Minnesota, United States

          I think I am going to try that myself.

  • December 28, 2019 at 4:18 PM by an anonymous user from: Sunnyvale, California, United States

    DO NOT ORDER! ditto to 'poor cheap plastic boots that look NOTHING like advertised'. They looked more like clown shoes. When I got a response by e-mail about returning, I was told it was very difficult and lengthy to return ( since it goes back to China...)or a few dollars in return. The rep suggested I donate them to charity, which I did.

  • December 28, 2019 at 1:52 PM by an anonymous user from: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canada

    Honestystar? seriously "Honest"? such a fraud! Do not order from this company! as far as I'm concerned this company is a FRAUD! Ordered these boots with the same results as others have written. Poor cheap plastic boots that looks NOTHING like what is advertised!

  • December 25, 2019 at 11:22 PM by an anonymous user from: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

    BE WARNED... SAVE YOUR MONEY!

    Ordered, tried to cancel when they were not delivered in over a month. Got the run around for three weeks,even contacted Paypay to see if I could cancel, no go. Then they sent a note that the order was shipped and I would receive them "shortly". Three weeks later, I could wait no longer and got a pair of boots locally. I sent a note that I still had not received any package, even though they sent me a delivery confirmation. I was told to check with local post offices to see if they were being "Held". I wish they had held them, the following week I got the "boots" they look like the same construction and material that you would find on a china doll. The flexible thick cushioned soul and warm liner? Try 1/8" warped plastic soul with raised bridges and thin insole so you cant see them. Stitched upper? Um... try molded rubber to look like stiches. Warm liner? Use an old sock, your better off.

    And as to their return and cancellation policies? FORGET IT not worth the time it would take to read it, all you will get from the customer service is So sorry you no happy, not our fault, but we will give you a 4 dollar, 6 dollar, 8 dollar okay how about ten dollar credit and you can use the shoes you got as a gift? Gift? to who? your worst enemy? and WHY!? Why would I want a credit to use for more plastic shoes? why would anyone give them more money for c**p! I hope you read this before you buy, if you don't try to get it canceled on your credit card because hscustomer service will not be any help at all.

  • December 18, 2019 at 7:33 PM by an anonymous user from: Burnsville, North Carolina, United States

    I've been had! Ordered 2 pairs of shoes early October; As of December 18th, they have not arrived. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY!

  • December 14, 2019 at 3:30 PM by an anonymous user from: New Castle, Delaware, United States

    This company sucks!

  • December 13, 2019 at 8:09 AM by an anonymous user from: Great Falls, Virginia, United States

    I wrote the company several times asking where the item that I had purchased. Got a tracking number that never stated anything and wrote back. Finally got a shipping date almost 2 months later. The product arrived and was poorly manufactured. I again wrote the company to state that I was unhappy with the product. I got this reply

    Dear customer,

    We feel sorry to hear this.

    There are no other customers report.

    The returned shipping charge is expensive, please kindly note that you need pay for it since it is not our fault.

    Is it possible you keep it? Maybe you can pass it to your family or friend as gift.

    As you are a good customer, we can refund $5 gift card as compensation.You can use it to buy suitable new one again.

    We really hope you can enjoy your shopping on our website.

    If you have any questions, please keep in touch with me again.

    Best Regards

    honestystar.com

    cs@honestystar.com

    I replied to the company by stating the following questions:

    Why would I give an inferior product to my family or friend if I wouldn't wear it? How is it NOT the companies fault with their manufacturing of the shoe is not what it should be? How would a gift card help if I am not planning on buying from the company again? These Facebook ads should be stopped to prevent other people from buying their products.

    • March 2, 2020 at 3:43 AM by an anonymous user from: Duluth, Minnesota, United States

      I see that the company does the same to everyone. I am so glad the company canceled one of the two footwear items I ordered. And it took about ten weeks to get!y order too.

      This company needs no more money from usa, canada, etc. Honesty! What a joke.

  • December 12, 2019 at 2:20 PM by an anonymous user from: Morrow, Arkansas, United States

    I got my shoes after 2 months. Sorry I didn't see the Review before, what a RIP OFF.

  • December 11, 2019 at 8:38 PM by an anonymous user from: Marshfield, Wisconsin, United States

    Y’all PLEASE BEWARE. This is the biggest rip off. I finally received these shoes after 2 months. The ONLY thing that is of this advertisement is the style of the shoe. The material used is NOTHING like the picture. It looks like a thin cheap shiny vinyl. I ordered two pair. One pair (the red ones), one shoe was a 9.5 and one was a 5.5. I contacted customer service (only email) with pictures and these people had the nerve to tell me that it wasn’t their fault and thE only way I could get a refund was for me to pay for shipping which would be half of what I paid for the shoes. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Picture of what I received are in the comments. I wish I could upload pictures.

  • December 10, 2019 at 7:31 PM by an anonymous user from: Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

    I ordered two pairs of boots through Paypal, I am trying to get my money back. This is the worst scam I have ever seen. Thought the boots were cute and would be nice, got cheap vinyl c**p, could have bought a better pair at Wal-Mart and Target! This company needs all the bad reviews they can get, I noticed they are on Amazon too.

  • December 10, 2019 at 2:38 PM by an anonymous user from: Saint Albans, West Virginia, United States

    This is the biggest piece of c**p I've ever saw. I found these online and thought the boots were really nice looking. SO my husband order his mom and me a pair. They are absolute garbage. We haven't attempted to return them, but I'm sure we won't be successful. So irritating that people are allowed to continue to scam people after so many negative reports have been filed. I can't for the life of me figure out why their site hasn't been shut down. I saw these same boots on another website that sells nothing but garbage as well.

  • December 10, 2019 at 12:45 PM by an anonymous user from: Jacksonville, Florida, United States

    I ordered 2 pairs of shoes for my mother and they are absolutely horrible. Not like the photos shown online. It's stated on their website "no hassle" returns but that's all I'm getting. They have now offered an $8 gift card for me to keep the shoes. Which is nothing since I would never order from them again. The person stated it would cost $30 to ship them back. I'm going to try and get a refund through my credit card company. I want to report this company but not sure how to do that.

  • December 8, 2019 at 12:02 PM by an anonymous user from: Cleveland, Ohio, United States

    Absolutely awful. Received after 2 months and there was a hole in the toe of these cheaply made "boots". They said they were not at fault - what? Told me it would cost me more to ship them back than I paid and offered me a $5.00 gift card for their company upped it to $8.00 when I told them forget it. Contacted PayPal trying to see what I can do, they actually had the nerve to tell me in addition to the gift card keep them and give them as a gift - ridiculous.

  • December 6, 2019 at 12:21 PM by an anonymous user from: Boston, Massachusetts, United States

    After 2 months I finally got mine. Horrible! Chip. Totally different from the pictures. Please don’t waste the money.

    • December 6, 2019 at 4:25 PM by an anonymous user from: Roscoe, Illinois, United States

      100%! agree. Biggest pieces of c**p! I’m calling it an expensive lesson because I’m not crazy enough to think I can return for a refund

  • December 5, 2019 at 3:14 PM by an anonymous user from: Needham, Massachusetts, United States

    I just received mine after waiting several weeks. They are ultra cheap. I am attempting to return them.

  • December 4, 2019 at 9:01 PM by an anonymous user from: Guntersville, Alabama, United States

    Ordered 2 pair. Read the reviews. Don't do it!

  • December 3, 2019 at 4:27 PM by an anonymous user from: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

    Shoes shown on line is nothing like was received. The material is thin plastic without any reinforcement at the top of the shoe as the picture depicts. Total waste.

  • December 2, 2019 at 8:48 PM by an anonymous user from: Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States

    got my shoes nothing like website try to get refund, will not give me refund and that return and that returning was to expensive

  • December 2, 2019 at 3:18 PM by an anonymous user from: Girard, Kansas, United States

    got the shoes today and they are nothing like the website and will be cancelling my credit card transaction.

  • December 2, 2019 at 3:12 PM by an anonymous user from: San Diego, California, United States

    Do not order from this company. I ordered on oct 8 and it is dec 2 and still no shoes.

  • December 2, 2019 at 9:12 AM by an anonymous user from: Longmont, Colorado, United States

    I have received a sub quality product and one boot is defective. They took forever to ship, now after a couple weeks of daily communication they will do nothing.

    Please advise as to what to do-I want to return and get my money back.

  • November 30, 2019 at 11:45 AM by an anonymous user from: Stockbridge, Georgia, United States

    Paypal will just tell you that since the item has been received you are out of luck. After a month of not hearing from Honeystar I emailed them only to have them give me a runaround about being busy, etc. I cancelled my order right then and they shipped the order anyway a week later. I filed a dispute with Paypal and today Paypal told me they had closed to dispute in favor of the seller because they had been advised the merchandise was received. Paypal does not care that I cancelled the order a week before it was shipped.

  • November 30, 2019 at 11:22 AM by an anonymous user from: Everett, Washington, United States

    I wish I'd seen these reviews before placing an order for my mother's birthday. After nearly a month with no communication or shoes I filed a claim with PayPal. That finally got me a response from HonestyStar customer support and they said to me that the item received "high number of orders" that my item may take longer than expected and asked for patience. By this point, I'd started looking online to research them and asked for my money back. They refused to cancel my order and refund my money; After 2 weeks of asking for and demanding my order be cancelled and my payment be refunded I get this response: "Dear customer, Hope everything goes well. We usually do not refund once order confirmed and paid. Could you wait for some days? Then you will get the order soon." They then sent me a tracking number. When the shoes finally arrived (literally the day before they had to respond to the claim on PayPal), HonestyStar wasted no time giving the tracking information to PayPal, who closed the case in HonestyStar's favor. The shoes: not what we ordered. They looked more like cheap rubber boots than the shoes in the photo and instead of being black with blue accents were all blue.

    If you are considering ordering from HonestyStar, don't. Spend your money elsewhere.

  • November 30, 2019 at 9:50 AM by an anonymous user from: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    After 2 frickin months I received the 2 pairs of shoes that were two different sizes. Didn’t receive the shoes that were advertised. They smell like chemicals and are so cheap looking. Not even worth a few dollars. Scam scam scam . I will never order from these “ so called” companies . Please consumers, order from reputable local stores.

  • November 29, 2019 at 1:33 PM by an anonymous user from: Williamsville, New York, United States

    After waiting for almost 2 months, I got a cheap, ugly pair of shoes that you don't want to spend $5 @ the store. Try to get my money back but they have enough nerve to offer $5 gift card so you can shop their store again ( no expired date )! They said I can give or pass the pair for friend or relative if I am not happy with it, do you think that is a good way to give a gift for someone who love? They are fooling around more than a week & don't want to refund. it's a scam, I hope some will do something with them.

    • November 30, 2019 at 9:58 AM by an anonymous user from: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

      Ditto! Scam scam scam . Waited 2 months and received 2 different pairs of shoes - smelled like chemicals . Cheap - not worth a few dollars.

  • November 28, 2019 at 10:11 PM by an anonymous user from: Mesa, Arizona, United States

    Honesty star is a Chinese scam site. What you get after a very long wait(in my case 50 days) is nothing as shown in the ads...what I received was cheap vinyl boots that are crappie at best garbage worthless. There isn’t even a heal cup to hold your foot straight! Do not waste your money and time with this rip off!

  • November 28, 2019 at 3:47 PM by an anonymous user from: Ashburn, Virginia, United States

    I received a very poor quality pair of boots and I have been trying to get a refund since the day I received them and I am still getting a runaround I am not happy I paid with PayPal I am so angry

    • November 28, 2019 at 10:14 PM by an anonymous user from: Manchester, New Hampshire, United States

      So have I. I feel the same way, angry is an understatement. THen they have the nerve to offer $3.00 gift card or a $5.00 gift card. I paid way more than that.

  • November 27, 2019 at 6:59 PM by an anonymous user from: Brooksville, Florida, United States

    Took 2 months to get. Poor quality

  • November 27, 2019 at 1:34 PM by an anonymous user from: Troy, Michigan, United States

    I received two pairs of low quality boots from them. I'm trying to get a refund.

  • November 27, 2019 at 2:36 AM by an anonymous user from: London, England, United Kingdom

    I have ordered boots from them and the quility is disgusting I am returning them for a full refund.

    I have had to go through PayPal .

    • December 3, 2019 at 12:29 PM by an anonymous user from: Needham, Massachusetts, United States

      What has your experience with PayPal been like? In other comments, I read that PayPal wouldn't refund if they had been received?

  • November 26, 2019 at 2:53 PM by an anonymous user from: New York, United States

    I just received cheap awful plastic shoes that I ordered months ago and even forgot about the order it's been so long. The company was advertising on facebook. I am unable to contact anyone about doing something with these disgusting shoes.

    • November 26, 2019 at 5:23 PM by an anonymous user from: New Knoxville, Ohio, United States

      The same thing just happened to me! I'm contacting my credit card company and sending all of this to them.

  • November 26, 2019 at 1:57 PM by an anonymous user from: Princeton, Texas, United States

    I ordered shoes on Oct 4, paid thru PayPal. After I sent an email requesting an update, they said that they were working on it and a few days later received a shipping notice, which cud not be verified. This appears to be a scam. Never received anything and shipping notice was incorrect shipping number.

  • November 25, 2019 at 11:58 AM by an anonymous user from: Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

    I ordered flat heel boots from these people on Friday, Oct. 25, 2019 and as of today, November 25, 2019 I have received nothing nor have I heard anything from them. They were given my credit card number and I am very concerned about this being a SCAM. Will we ever learn?

    • November 26, 2019 at 5:54 AM by an anonymous user from: St Peters, Missouri, United States

      I order a pair of shoes from these idiots, cancelled it within 10 minutes and been emailing them not to send this is was cancelled, every day they would email me and say it was on the way please just try them, I did not want them. after weeks of emails, I received the rubber piece of c**p shoes, now they want me to pay shipping to send these horrible piece of c**p shoes back to them. I am talking with the BBB to see what can be done. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY

  • November 23, 2019 at 5:45 PM by an anonymous user from: Arbutus, Maryland, United States

    I ordered boots on Oct 4th or 5th. I Got Them, Today. They do not look like they appear in the advertising. It is a lesson learned. I will file A DISPUTE IN PROTEST OF SUCH DISHONESTY IN Advertising And Wait For THE RESULT. Speaking Out IS THE FIRST LEVEL IF DEFENSE. BLESSINGS...💎🙏😇💜

  • November 23, 2019 at 3:37 PM by an anonymous user from: Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States

    What a rip off! I ordered these on OCT 8, 2019, before reading any reviews and I finally received them today on 11/23/19. They are made of a type of plastic, they do fit but look nothing like the picture. Next time I will research something before I buy.

  • November 22, 2019 at 9:13 PM by an anonymous user from: Yakima, Washington, United States

    After 2 months, they sent word I had given them the wrong address and they wanted $7.99 additional to send the shoes again. I asked to cancel my order and they keep contacting me telling me reasons why I should just pay the extra, I am really fed up! I asked for a refund and their “policy” will only allow them to send me the shipping cost...huh? Dishonesty Star would be a better name.

  • November 22, 2019 at 8:33 AM by an anonymous user from: New Tecumseth, Ontario, Canada

    I asked this company 7 times to cancel my order and 7 times that wrote back asking me to reconsider. Then they shipped the boots. I contacted Paypal and sent them all the emails and they said that there is nothing that they can do since the shoes have shipped. Hoping that I don't get them so that I can go back to Paypal for a refund.

  • November 22, 2019 at 7:51 AM by an anonymous user from: Newark, New Jersey, United States

  • November 17, 2019 at 3:15 PM by an anonymous user from: Kerrville, Texas, United States

    I had the same experience as 'anonymous user from Brooklyn". I bought the red boots and they appear to be a very cheap imitation of the advertised picture. The laces are thin ribbon not laces, the boots are not two-tone like the picture and do not have the inner lining around the inside tops. Also no star. The soles are thin and hard and uncomfortable to walk in. They look like the cheap rubber boots I wore as a child. Do not buy from this company.

  • November 16, 2019 at 7:33 PM by an anonymous user from: Brooklyn, New York, United States

    I brought a pair of the green boots shoe. The boots that I received is nothing like the o the picture shown. The picture is showing the inside of boot out of a different material that is sent to the consumer and material of the boot that is showing is entirely different from the boots you receive. The boots show a star logo which is not on the pair that I receive. The boot sole in the picture is not the same as the one that is displayed in the picture. Buyers BEWARE! I waited to get a product that was not what the picture is displaying on the website.

  • November 16, 2019 at 2:34 PM by an anonymous user from: Columbus, Ohio, United States

    I ordered the blue boots from an ad on September 29 and just received them today - November 16th! So much for 5-20 days delivery.

    Save your money. The boots are cheap plastic and I wouldn’t be caught dead in them. Maybe as slippers around the house?

    The only good thing is that they were on $23.00 so I got what I paid for. Did I expect suede for that price?

  • November 14, 2019 at 8:03 AM by an anonymous user from: London, England, United Kingdom

    name. I order the 9th of Sept and received them today. Ordered two pair

    and guess what I got two pair, in different sizes of which neither

    fit me, way way two small. I did learn a good lesson, order nothing from China.

  • November 6, 2019 at 3:19 PM by an anonymous user from: Washington, District of Columbia, United States

    I ordered a pair of boots on 10/14/19. I was told I would get an email when my order was shipped in one to two weeks. As of today 11/06/19, I haven't heard anything from them yet.

    After reading all the terrible reviews, I'm really thinking of trying to cancel my order.

      Do it. Total scam. What I received is not what I expected. Not worth any amount of money.

  • November 5, 2019 at 2:31 AM by an anonymous user from: Suffolk, Virginia, United States

    I ordered three pairs of boots. One pair size 8. Twos pairs size 10.5. It has been two months. And I haven’t received the boots as of yet. What is the problem? If you can’t send the boots, return my money. I don’t have money to give away. The price was 53.87. Please send my boots. I will wait for a reply from you. The boots were all black.

    I ordered boots Sept 29,,still no boots, I have had contact with them as to why they haven’t been shipped out..they’ve offered me a very small discount if I wait ‘ONE MORE WEEK’! I’ll see it when I believe that they actually get sent out!

    Do not order from this website, it is a scam. They have been reported to th Federal Trade Comission and the Attorney General has complaints on file

      I am so confused why Paypal, Facebook and Instagram are allowing these companies to continue to scam us! I ordered 9 pairs for Christmas gifts. Took 2 months to get and they are the cheapest most disgusting shoes I’ve ever seen! I talked to Paypal yesterday and told them they are losing the trust and respect of their customers by allowing us to be scammed! The shoes I received were nothing like the picture. I told the woman I spoke to from Paypal to go ahead and order a pair of these scam shoes and see what she receives! Bet they’d cancel these companies real fast! I’m still waiting to see if Paypal is going to refund my $130. If they don’t I will go through my credit card company! I am also going to file a claim with Federal Trade Commission, Texas Attorney Generals office and Better Business Bureau. I know of three different names that are the same scammers. They are pp.careu, cc.careu and Honestystar. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE COMPANIES!YOU WILL BE SCAMMED!

      Open a dispute with your bank to have your money refunded.

  • October 29, 2019 at 12:19 AM by an anonymous user from: New Iberia, Louisiana, United States

    I’ve ordered 3pairs of Boots in October 4th and haven’t received. I also emailed them and the email in invalid.

    • October 29, 2019 at 7:03 AM by an anonymous user from: Brentford, England, United Kingdom

      I too have ordered a pair of boots on 2nd October and still not received them...so it appears this company is a scam!?

  • October 26, 2019 at 2:45 PM by an anonymous user from: Morrow, Arkansas, United States

    DON'T, I SAY DO NOT order anything from this company. It is a scam I wish I would have thought about looking the company up before ordering but I didn't so it is my fault I was scammed. I ordered 4 pair of boots on 9-29-19, they said 5-20 business days for delivery. HA what a bunch of bull pucky. I've learned my lesson and I hope I prevent anyone else from ordering.

  • October 25, 2019 at 8:05 PM by an anonymous user from: St Peters, Missouri, United States

    I have been trying to cancel an order for over a week. There have been 6 emails sent back and forth to honestystar and I can get nothing but emails back saying how good their product is and how popular it is. I don't care about any of this. I want my order cancelled and they will do nothing about it. I will NEVER order from them again and would NEVER recommend them to anyone.

  • October 25, 2019 at 3:40 PM by an anonymous user from: Hagaman, New York, United States

    • October 23, 2019 at 1:51 PM by an anonymous user from: New York, United States

      Same thing with me also. No shoes and two emails say the order is being prepared. But no shoes,

  • October 23, 2019 at 5:57 AM by an anonymous user from: Needham, Massachusetts, United States

    I ordered a few weeks ago and have not heard a word. I will dispute the charges. I should have known better.

  • October 22, 2019 at 9:14 PM by an anonymous user from: Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

    I ordered boots back in August and have yet to receive them. I am going to dispute the charges.

  • October 21, 2019 at 3:18 PM by an anonymous user from: Nevada City, California, United States

    Glad I looked them up! They keep coming up in my Wordscapes game. I wish they would only allow legit sponsers advertise on their app!

  • October 20, 2019 at 8:59 PM by an anonymous user from: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    Ordered boots on Sept 28th and money was taken from bank immediately. Have not received boots nor got a confirmation of shipping. Emailed company and no return answer. This must be a scam and I lost $50 I really couldn’t afford to lose. Still waiting for boots.

  • October 20, 2019 at 4:52 PM by an anonymous user from: Spring Hill, Florida, United States

    These boots must exist. Good commercials, cute. Keep seeing the commercials everywhere. Had my doubts, kept putting off ordering. I finally ordered a pair of these cute boots the end of September. As of today nothing. (Oct. 19). Keeping my fingers crossed, I'll be in touch with my credit card.

  • October 19, 2019 at 8:41 PM by an anonymous user from: Seattle, Washington, United States

    I ordered a pair of shoes a month ago and have not received my order. My money was taken out of my account, and I am really disappointed. I cannot afford to lose that money. No more on line orders for me.

  • October 19, 2019 at 6:47 PM by an anonymous user from: Cleveland, Ohio, United States

    I ordered 2 pairs of boots on September 16 an September 17 have not heard anything or received my boots but they took my money off my card

  • October 19, 2019 at 5:09 PM by an anonymous user from: Tucker, Georgia, United States

    Scam scam scam. I was ripped off on September 17. I ordered two pairs of shoes and I have not received any thing. And they say they can't find my order. Thief thief. Thief

  • October 17, 2019 at 9:05 AM by an anonymous user from: Mexico, Missouri, United States

    I just ordered a pair of boots. Trying to cancel it. Does anyone have a phone number?

    • October 18, 2019 at 1:07 AM by an anonymous user from: Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States

      To my knowledge there isn't any phone number

  • October 16, 2019 at 11:58 AM by an anonymous user from: Pompano Beach, Florida, United States

    I also ordered some shoes and never received a thing. This sort of thing shouldn't be allowed. They should shut this site off.

  • October 16, 2019 at 4:24 AM by an anonymous user from: Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

    Ordered the shoes September 1st and have not received a thing.

    Have contacted them and some Chinese lady named NiNI said to be patient.

    They offered me double the money in US funds back, but never received that either.

    I paid with PayPal and I was told it was a scam company.

  • October 15, 2019 at 1:22 PM by an anonymous user from: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    The leopard boots look so cute, I was tempted to buy, but I thought check the reviews first, glad I did,

    Thank you to all for sending in your comments . Made up my mind no, no, no

  • October 14, 2019 at 9:55 PM by an anonymous user from: Washington, District of Columbia, United States

    I did mine at honestystar they also go thru other names and it was a huge order,which I promptly cancelled soon as I found out they were really out of hong kong!

    Well I was scared to death but got my money back after threatening them with court-and everything else but I did get my money back within the week which wasnt good considering I had cancelled within the hour of ordering!anyway.

    I thought maybe they are legit so I filled out the paypal account info(all my info)and im wondering if THEY now have all my account information?

  • October 14, 2019 at 5:34 PM by an anonymous user from: Boise, Idaho, United States

    Scam! If you place order at honestystar - they immediately collect money from your credit card account through a fake website called Kostuff, supposedly located in Las Vegas Nevada.

    Why does Honestystar and Kostuff have a facebook account and why hasn't facebook taken them down?

    Huge scam, and I am still struggling to recoup my money.

  • October 14, 2019 at 1:23 PM by an anonymous user from: Linkoping, Ostergotland County, Sweden

    Candy crush friends, let Honestystar advertise, but this is an untrustworthy online store claiming to sell boots and shoes. Online users are advised to stay away from the untrustworthy website because those who shop from it run the risk of receiving counterfeit goods or nothing at all. This happened to me, and silly enough I thought that a company like CC checked the companies that advertise.

    Stay away..

  • October 14, 2019 at 11:43 AM by an anonymous user from: San Francisco, California, United States

    after reading all messages it really sounds and smell like scammers uff. I better stay away from them.

  • October 13, 2019 at 10:09 AM by an anonymous user from: Carlsbad, California, United States

    Ordered a pair of boots on Oct. 2nd, I did get a confirmation # but as of today 10/13/19 I still haven't received the shipping date.

    I should have read the above notification first before ordering the boots. If I don't hear something within a week I will call my credit card company and cancel that order.

    • October 22, 2019 at 7:48 PM by an anonymous user from: Needham, Massachusetts, United States

      I wish I had read these reviews . I’m going to try to get my money back too! Why doesn't Facebook shut down this company. One should NOT think because irs on Facebook they are legit?

    • October 14, 2019 at 10:00 PM by an anonymous user from: St Louis, Missouri, United States

      I ordered a pair also but after reading all this negative things about this company and cancelling my card payment tomorrow. Cute boots too. I'll never order off line again.

  • October 13, 2019 at 9:29 AM by an anonymous user from: Durham, North Carolina, United States

    I ordered boots Oct 7, did not get any conf # or info from them at all! But it went through my card.

    I am giving it 1 more week, then i will go to my bank!

  • October 12, 2019 at 11:04 PM by an anonymous user from: Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States

  • October 12, 2019 at 6:44 PM by an anonymous user from: Bend, Oregon, United States

    I ordered some shoes from-them and tryed to cancel the order and now I can’t get in to their website. Now they have my personal information,and I am now seeing they may be frauds.

  • October 12, 2019 at 11:28 AM by an anonymous user from: Phoenix, Arizona, United States

    I fell for this scam too. Ordered Oct 5th and nothing but an email with order #. I will be calling my bank to dispute and get a new card. 😡

  • October 12, 2019 at 9:55 AM by an anonymous user from: Morganton, North Carolina, United States

    I too ordered. Been over a month. I’ll know not to ever do it again without first checking on the possibility of them being scammers.

  • October 11, 2019 at 5:37 PM by an anonymous user from: Morrow, Arkansas, United States

    I wish I would have seen this before I ordered. Now I have to fight with bank to get my money back.

  • October 11, 2019 at 7:04 AM by an anonymous user from: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States

    I ordered a pair of boots 3 weeks ago and all I have is a order Number 16275. They said 5 to 20 working days. This is very upsetting to find out they are a company that doesn’t exist. I cannot understand how they are on the internet and don’t have a huge red flag to let people know they don’t exist.

    Now my only recourse is to call my credit card company and try to get my money back. The nerve of them to call the company Honestystar. This is very dishearten to say the least. I wasn’t ever a big online shopper as it is but now I won’t ever order online again. Thank you for the information much to late.

  • October 10, 2019 at 4:07 PM by an anonymous user from: Bronx, New York, United States

    glad I didn't order them as I usually do at face valve, this kind of nonsense gives other companies that are trustworthy a bad name. thank again!

  • October 10, 2019 at 11:16 AM by an anonymous user from: Sunnyvale, California, United States

    I ordered a pair of boots and never got them but they took money out for them. Something needs to be done about these people.

    • October 13, 2019 at 9:20 AM by an anonymous user from: Durham, North Carolina, United States

      Me too! And can't contact company!

  • October 10, 2019 at 7:45 AM by an anonymous user from: Ontario, California, United States

I tried to order again but it do the dame thing the discount missing and shipping was added.

    But I try to research what I can about on line

    Companies. Your comments have answered

    my questions.

    I’m gonna have to disappoint my wife.

  • October 5, 2019 at 10:04 AM by an anonymous user from: Boston, Massachusetts, United States

    Everytime I see one of these companies on facebook I warn everyone. I ordered something from a company called Berryome they sent me two really crappy thin material jackets, I tried to return them and they said I had to send them to China.

    My package came from California return address but they said I could not return to there. sending to China would have cost $68 to $83. I had charged $55 I called my credit card and started a dispute.

    I also called the attorney general in California to tell him they were using an address there A few weeks later this same credit card had two charges on it from California and Chicago My credit card called me. I told them it was a scam.

    They gave me a new credit card and got rid of all the charges including the original one. But its not just the first item you order you have to worry about. Once they have your credit card they charge all over the country
