Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 50 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the product quality and fit, noting that items often did not match online descriptions, had poor construction, or were made of cheap materials. Customers also found the sizing to be inaccurate and inconsistent with standard measurements, making it difficult to find a garment that fit correctly. The return and refund process was a major source of frustration, described as bureaucratic and designed to discourage returns, with many reviewers struggling to get their money back. The return policy often had a very short window, and customers were frequently required to pay high shipping costs for international returns, sometimes to the USA, even for items shipped from China. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with their purchases, finding the dresses beautiful, accurate to size, and of good quality when they received them.

This would be a zero if I could give 0…

This would be a zero if I could give 0 stars. They sent the wrong sized item then when i tried to return the item they made it as difficult as possible.
Then if you read there pages of terms and conditions they only give 40 percent refund despite the incorrect order being there fault They finally after a series of e mails and photos of the item etc gave me the instructions to carry out the return of the item everything apart from the returns address. After weeks of asking for the address they sent me a load of automated reply’s which again did not contain the return address. In the end I gave up and sent the item back recorded delivery to the address on the package when I asked where my refund was they then told me I had sent the package to the wrong address at this point I gave up on it and never got a penny back for there cock up STAY AWAY you have been warned

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE…

Do NOT order anything from this company. The refund policy is only 7 days and very well hidden that you do t realise as every decent company gives a minimum of two weeks. I tried emailing them but they were absolutely no help, so now I’m stuck with a dress that goes not fit. ABSOLUTELY USELESS COMPANY. I would give 0 starts if I could.

DO NOT USE this company!!!

DO NOT USE this company!!!! I cannot reiterate enough - they do not supply the goods when purchased, apply a 120 hour refund window that is hidden from customers and completely ignore your rights as a customer. They are fake - do not make the same mistake I did. DO NOT USE!

Avoid this company!

Package arrived in 4 days from a UK address. The item did not fit and material was poor quality. I asked to return the product which I had numerous emails back trying to offer me 10% then 30% off the price if I kept the product. Which I refused I was then sent an address to send the product back which is in China. I had to pay the costs £31! I had emailed asking why I was sending a package to China that had clearly came from the UK. I have now been blocked from sending emails to their address. I don't expect a refund from the company but luckily I ordered it through Klarna so had only paid a small amount before I claimed a return with them.
AVOID this company at all costs.

Ordered an item from Zapaka on 5th Feb 2024. Contacted them 13th Feb to arrange return of item which did not fit. Zapaka confirmed return address on 15th Feb (I had to pay EXPENSIVE return costs). Warehouse my order was shipped from in UK but return address in China?! Sent numerous follow up emails over the past 4 months asking when I will receive my refund. No response at all from Zapaka since 15th Feb when they confirmed I could return my item. Have now reported them due to awful service and withholding my refund. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE.

Do not buy from them

Do not buy from them. You will never get a refund.

I ordered on 29 April, was on holiday came back, tried the dress and it was not good on me. I’ve been asking for a QR code for over a week and nothing. Send multiple emails.

Massive con- says Zapaka Uk but dress took 6-10 business days to arrive and was shipped from the United States and when did arrive no returns information. On asking how to return I have been advised I need to return to China and must pay the shipping costs!

SCAMMM

I bought my dress from them on the 17/04/24 and 3 weeks later I have had no shipping confirmation and have sen multiple emails and they just tell me that they are speeding up my delivery which they are obviously not. I bought £250 worth of dresses and it has been a total scam. Don't buy from them - I am based in the UK

I ordered a fake fur coat

I ordered a fake fur coat, it took a while, when I tried it on it was short in the arm and short in length, it did not fit, and so i started the saga of returning, I sent an email asking how , I got a response to leave it with them and they will sort out, this went on for weeks, until I got an email saying I was out of time to return, these people are crooks, please be wise and never order from them .they have not responded to any of my correspondence since , im shocked they should not be allowed to do any selling in this country .

Easy Return promise is a lie !!

This company claims that easy returns on their website. Relying on this we did order a dress for my daughter and we received very low quality material dress.
When we wanted to return it they emailed me a CHINA address for a return address!!! This costed me £25 to return the item tracked and recorded. I haven’t heard from them since. I have very big doubts about receiving the refund. But that is a company which everyone MUST AVOID!

Got my dream dress!

I found my dream dress on Zapaka a good few month back and recently looked at reviews on here and I was so scared that I would not get my dream dress. After sitting for days thinking it over I took the risk of ordering and I'm really glad I did. I paid the extra to get it custom size and added a inch bigger than what I needed on every measurement and added 3 inches to lenght to accommodate my shoes and it fits perfect its only a bit large round my chest area which I can easily get altered. It came in a decent time. It was just packaged in a normal package bag but with the material of the dress it didn't crease and there was no funky smell to it like I had seen on reviews. If ordering I would definitely recommend paying the extra for custom size and adding a inch or two. I'm really happy I took the risk.

No refund, no contact, no dress

I returned a dress which was too small, the company said they will give me a refund on the email they sent me. I posted a dress recorded delivery so i have proof they have it. I have not received a refund and the customer service will not reply to my emails at all. Will never use this company again which is a shame as i never had a problem in the past.
