Kaliqo Reviews 215

Do not buy from this store. As others have said, the items are nothing like the images or videos on their site. Its a scam. Only half of what i ordered showed up also. They then just string you along on email.

Please save your money.

I'm still waiting! Ordered over a month ago. Do not recommend.
Communication is poor. I have emailed numerous times and my delivery question is never answered.

Just repeating what everyone has said…. Only 5” tall, frosted plastic. The “flame” is a disappointing LED flicker type thing . One charged briefly in the sun. Lasted a few seconds. The other won’t charge at all, even plugged in. So cheap worth less than a fiver each I’d say. So light and small would get blown away outside. The advertising is misleading totally.. Scam. Guess I’m also writing off £60 or whatever I was conned out of….

The images on their posts and videos are false advertising. Lanterns look like glass. They are actually cheap "frosted" plastic that would blow over in the wind. They are very small lanterns. Fit it your hand. Not good for outdoor lighting. Also the "flame" looks nothing like depicted. It looks like a light bulb!!! They also will not take returns to the address in the US like the return policy states. Even just 3 days after delivery. Will not pay for return postage.

Wow … I read the reviews and wished I had before ordering nearly 7 weeks ago. Not yet received the 2 lanterns order … but now I don’t care. I’ll write off the $70 and consider it lessons learned.

Ordered three weeks ago. Getting a run around from Kaligo and a tracking app link that only shows departure from China to America and is two weeks old.
FEELS LIKE SCAM. GOING TO TRY AND CANCEL ORDER ON AMEX CARD.

AVOID THIS COMPANY.

This is a scam company out of China. Shame on me for not checking the name before ordering lamps. You do get lamps but they are cheap, not usable and not like stated in marketing and pictures. When trying to return you have to pay for returns back to CHina or they offer you 30% to keep them. DOnt waste your money or time

Prime example of false advertising on the internet. The flame lamp does not look at all like what the pictures show, The lamp is about 5 inches tall with a frosted plastic globe and a standard LED flicker lamp. Delivery from China took weeks.

Kaliqo is a TOTAL CHINESE SCAM! Their lamps are half the advertised size, made from ultra cheap plastic, with a heavily frosted lens. They look NOTHING like their AI generated advertising. Their "refund policy" is a blatant lie and their "US address" does not exist. This is a Chinese company mailing ultra cheap Chinese products from China. It is a disgrace that Instagram continue to carry their advertisements despite so many consumer complaints. Do not purchase any of their products!

They used a ad to promote some solar garden lights which look very appealing. Of course the product which arrived was about 25% of the size of the lights in the picture. They provide an excuse but I’m sure they knew exactly what they are doing and relying on people being to lazy to return.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!! THESE LIGHTS ARE NOTHING LIKE THEY LOOK IN THE ADVERTISEMENT! THEY ARE MADE OF A CHEAP FROSTED PLASTIC AND THEY ARE NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN A TEA LIGHT CANDLE HOLDER. I PAID 139.36 FOR 4, SEEN BETTER QUALITY AT THE DOLLAR STORE. OH AND YOU CAN RETURN THEM TO CHINA WITH NO GUARANTEE OF BEING REFUNDED! AVOID AT ALL COST OR FLUSH YOUR MONEY DOWN THE TOILET!

Would rate a 0 if possible! Total scam, lanterns are half the size as advertised, glass is frosted and one of them already broke. Do not fall for this scam!

Oh well... Unfortunately I only read the reviews now... My fault.
Completely false advertising. The product is nothing like what is shown. Very small lanterns, frosted plastic, cheaply made. Nothing like what is shown.
A scam. Thankfully I only bought two.

Check these reviews very carefully before ordering anything from Kaliqo. This is a scam - they should be stopped from selling in the UK. The products bear no resemblance to their marketing and returns are then to China at your expense.

Kaliqo.com is Intentionally misrepresented size of lanterns, look of lanterns, and customer service return process on their website. (i) Products received were much smaller than website appearance (ii)frosted glass instead of clear glass (iii) indicated California address to return products but require it to be returned to china when log a support ticket claiming the CA address is no longer valid.

I truly hate hate this product I got scammed these lanterns are very very small and nor worth the price paid. The glass is not part of the product as well and nothing as pictured. All LIES LIES!!!!

In the pictures of the product these looked large with a clear looking glass or plastic globe. When I recieved them they are about 4 inches tall with a clouded globe. This is not what I expected for $80. I was disappointed. They are cute but not what I thought I was getting.

Our Kaliqo order was received on October 10th with rocks inside the solar lantern boxes. Kaliqo promised a refund after submitting images of the package contents. Also, the solar lantern boxes were super small that did not resemble the item advertised. Kaliqo kept delaying my refund after being promised a full refund providing numerous excuses. Then, I found these reviews where all received items that did not reflect the item as advertised. Instead,all received a cheap item that appears nothing like what was advertised, similarly like I received a box of rocks, because the contents is not what was advertised or promised.

Today, Kaliqo sent me email after they kept delaying the promised refund that is required by the Uniform Commercial Code (aka the UCC) and made every excuse possible for delay to avoid or not refund in a timely manner. However, American Express also investigated the matter on my behalf.

Credibility matters: Kaliqo is clearly falsely advertising by scheming to defruad consumers by operating from China to USA. These reviews, made available by Trust Pilot and other consumers reporting Kaljqo's scheme to defraud with malice by sending items that are not what is shown in the Kaliqo advertising pictures, helped because Kaliqo's Credibility is absolutely ZERO with consumers while we maintain excellent credit of 800+, and American Express reviewed Kaliqos reviews in their investigation to claw back the purchase since it was clear that Kalkqo is scamming consumers.

I may have received a box of rocks by Kaliqo, nevertheless, the tiny item boxes filled rocks could not, in no way possible fit the super large item advertised and expected to arrive as explained in the same manner as others have reported since the boxes were extremely small and could not have contained the super large item displayed on their website and internet promotions.

Kaliqo has zero credit because they are falsely advertising in a deceptive manner with malice (knowingly) as explained by all the consumers who are submitting.

Visa, Mastercard, American Express and other creditors insure our purchases. While I may have recived and box of rocks, was promised a refund that never came, followed by excuses, the banks can and will claw back the purchase if you dispute the charges because we are not receiving what we ordered since the consumers are being scammed by false advertising.

Kaliqo's analogy is, "If we send the consumers a package with absolutely anything in it, including a box of rocks, then Kaliqo feels that they don't have to refund the consumers since they received a package with contents inside,' except the UCC places all the risk on the shipper (Kaliqo), and they are obligated by the UCC to cover all the expenses, including a full refund if the contents in the package is damaged, lost, missing pieces, or not the item ordered as it was advertised because the retailer cannot falsely advertise merchandise to consumers, then ship an item in trickery that is not what any reasonable consumer believes they are expecting to receive. For example, if consumers ordered a monster truck but only received a tonka toy, then the order must be refunded. And if the retailer continues to delay the obligated refund as it was promised or required to do, then a dispute of the charges with our banks may be sought since the purchase amounts to a scam.

Kaliqo is clearly scamming all of their customers as reported here on Trust Pilot. I would urge all consumers impacted to dispute the charges under the appropriate dispute rule for the banks to claw back the charges because the banks are obligated to credit the charges because we are victims of a scam by deception since Kaliqo knows (malice) they are using false advertising to lure sales income by not being honest in their advertising, which amounts to a scam sales listing that the banks ensure our purchases are protected.

Don't buy from from Kailqo unless you want to be a victim of their scheme to defraud consumers because we are not getting what is advertised as a product, and Kaliqo knows they are scamming consumers in a deceptive manner.

The lanterns are not as pictured. They are small and ridiculously expensive for the size of this is a scam!!
