I purchased items from this company MONTHS ago & never received my items, although my card was charged immediately. I’ll be disputing this charge through my cc of course cuz I refuse to be ripped off & give these SCAMMERS a cent! Shame on them for STEALING so much money from hundreds of people, if not thousands!

On 1/15/19 I ordered a "free" letter board from the seller Magnolia Craft Shop through facebook. On 1/25/19 I received an email confirmation that my product had shipped. March 12, 2019 I realized I had yet to receive it so checked my emails and found the tracking number. When I clicked the link provided by Magnolia Craft Shop it said the shop can not be found. I then went to find the company on facebook {where I originally purchased the board} and their page is no longer available but I did find thousands of others who were in the same situation as I am.
I realize I am only "out" $2.97 but it’s more so about the fact that this "company" is doing this to innocent people.

On January 23rd, 2019. I order a letter board, extra letters and a stand for the letter board from the Magnolia Craft Store that was being advertised on Facebook. Prior to purchasing I checked the comments to see if it were a scam and things seemed to be legitimate. I paid via paypal and was waiting patiently. On February 13th, I tried to track my purchase via the link sent in my email, when that didn’t work, I tried to go onto their Facebook page to inquire on my purchase and found that it no longer existed, nor was their shop on Shopify and their support email no longer worked as well.
Upon typing in their name into the Facebook search, I found a group which was trying to find answers to why everyone had the same tracking number, why the website was gone and what exactly was happening. Upon finding this, I disputed with Paypal and received a refund from paypal when the company failed to respond to them.
Over 2,000 people are a part of this group and NONE of us ever received the items that we purchased.

Offered free letter board as an ad on Facebook (sponsored). Many comments of happy customers and decent range of reviews when researching the company online. Once I ordered on Jan 23,2019 I got an email within 15 mins saying order confirmed and an order number. The following day I got an email saying shipped and when you click to track it shows hongzhou, China. Okay, lots of things come from China is what I thought. So I waited patiently. It’s currently Mar 6, 2019. Nothing; and now when I look for business page, it’s gone, support email is undeliverable, as well as website currently unavailable so no way to contact them and haven’t received any product. I purchased extra add ons of letters so I paid another $14! Sure it’s not a lot but it’s MY hard earned money. I found a fb page and many posts from others now saying it’s a scam as I’m trying to figure out what happened. On top of all this I read in someone’s post that they had also gotten set up automatically on recurring payments in their PayPal to this magnolia craft shop, so I made my husband check (his account). Sure enough, he was set up for recurring payments, quickly cancelled that and status is inactive now as well as filed disputes with PayPal about the seller being fake/scam and not having received product. Frustrating to have to go through this. Obviously I gave them my address to ship to me; it’s very scary to think that a random person with bad intentions might have your personal information after something like this. Passwords were changed on PayPal and Facebook; but I cannot get back the information I gave them!

I’m very hesitant from buying from places I don’t know of. Especially when it seems like a really good deal. I read lots of good reviews from this place and still was cautious. I actually spoke with someone at the company and I felt my worries were just that; worries. So I made a purchase and I was so excited. I figured it was all shipped from China so I was expecting a long time for items to get to me. But then I saw a friend post that the company was fake. I hurry and jumped in my email with my "shipping" info. And it was all fake. The website no longer exists and I can’t find any type of tracking or shipping info. I’m bummed I was bamboozled but it happens to the best of us. I have not had any issues with money in my account or anything else. Just that money I spend was taken with no item received.

This supposed small business was offering free letter boards and you could purchase extra letters. I never received them, I can’t even reach out to this so called company. No email, no address, not on Facebook anymore, not even an active website. Ugh.

I saw an ad on Facebook for a free letter board. The shop is Magnolia Craft Shop. I ordered it through my Paypal account I just needed to pay shipping. This was over a month ago and there is no way to contact them as their social media pages, website and email is all gone. I found others who have been scammed by this company as we all received the same tracking # and it says its coming from China when the business is located in Idaho. I have been in contact with Paypal to receive a refund.

Won a free product and only paid shipping. Upon check out discounted add on product were offered. Added 3 items to the order and submitted. When the confirmation email said to what 30- 60 days for delivery I emailed the company to cancel and refund. They agreed. Received a cancellation email. Repeatedly contact the store by email and chat on the website to find out when I would get my refund. Was told 10 days. After 10 days I was told 10 business days. After 10 business days I was told to wait more days. After 15 days I was told my order was only canceled 5 days prior. After 3 more days I was told my order had not been canceled at all. At that point my emails were undeliverable and the website was no longer found. Still havent received an order tracking email or a refund.

This person blocked me from social media after asking about my order because I found out about this “scam.” Then I emailed and found out we all have the same tracking number. The tracking order is 4.4 lbs and they said it was a bulk order. It’s being shipped to MD not Idaho where they claim their store is located. They also said they’re a small mom and pops store in Idaho but then turn around and said oh well we are drop ship site and it’s coming from China. Changed their story after being called out. I asked for a refund. They said they would. After a week I never got one. So I contacted them again they told me give it 10 days. So I did. 10 days I never got a refund so she told me to wait longer. 10-15. Still have no refund nor is it processing. This guy has opened many stores under other company’s names and again scammed people. Using people’s pictures claiming they are certain people. Those photos are not theirs and those people in the photos came forward and said they’re not associated with them or their company. Their reviews are from other sites and companys. Their address is associated with many of their other companies. They changed their story, lied, and tried to cover their lies repeatedly. People’s accounts have been hacked, money taken from their cards, cards being charged, emails hacked, etc. I’ve gotten so many scam texts and calls since I ordered. Their phones shut off and they claim it’s from overwhelming amount of calls. Email is gone, website is gone, Facebook, so there is no way to get ahold of them. There’s so much more I could go on about. Please look into this and use caution. Never received product or refund.

An advertisement was posted on Facebook for the opportunity to receive a free letter board and only pay the shipping for 2.95, I had checked the order a few weeks ago and had a tracking number that the item was coming from China Post. When I checked the order again on 2/12/2019 the information was no longer available, when I tried to email them the link was disabled. You get the following message when trying to view your order "Sorry, this shop is currently unavailable" the IP address also can no longer be found. From what I can tell it was obviously a scam but several thousand of people were impacted.

I fell victim to a Facebook ad by this company on January 20, 2019. The ad offered a total of 100 free letter boards with only a payment of shipping of $2.97. I placed my order and ordered extras which totaled $22.98 for all including shipping. On January 23, 2019 I received an email confirming shipment. It was then that I began to suspect something was wrong. The shop claimed to be a small pop up shop located in Idaho with 3 employees that handmake the items. The tracking number is a China Post that stated the order was sent January 19, 2019 which was before my order was made. After research I noticed that many others who had ordered from this company also had the same tracking number and had also made orders after the initial shipping date. That’s when I and others began questioning the company about the validity of their business only to be blocked. Any negative comments warning about this were removed. Upon further investigation it was proven that all photos on the site were stolen from other sites or were stock photos. The package being shipped is heading toward Maryland with a size of only 4.4 pounds which also shows that this is not a bulk freight as they claim. They have also created various other sites promising free items to entice people to purchase. They removed their support email as many were inquiring of refunds. Many of us either did not receive a refund or did not receive a full refund. This company is still offering their free board yet refuse to acknowledge any questions or concerns about the items.

Scammer posted an ad on Facebook that they were offering free letterboards, you only pay the cost of shipping, advertising it as a promotional offer for their company’s birthday. I went to their website and purchased the "free" letterboard as well as a wooden display stand, totaling $6.38. I made the purchase through PayPal. The company advertised itself as a small "mom and pop" business, so I became suspicious when I received a tracking number from China. Found others like me posting on Facebook that this company was sending everyone the same tracking number, blocking anyone who commented their concerns, and were claiming to cancel orders but not refunding anyone. I disputed the order through PayPal and am currently awaiting a resolution.
I’ve linked the website above. This is the Facebook page they are using: https://www.facebook.com/MagnoliaCraftShop/
