PLEASE DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING WITH THEM…
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING WITH THEM it’s a scam. Placed in order back in march, never received the item. Request a refund in May still have yet to receive a full refund. Instead they write me a long email saying that the only way to receive a refund is through PayPal. Requested that the refund be issued to original method of payment which was not PayPal. They still insisted on me providing them with my PayPal acct to receive a refund.

Hello there!
It is to our great dismay that we learn of your circumstances. It's true that the delays have caused a negative impact on our customers' trust and confidence in us, but we can assure you we're doing everything in our power to turn things back to normal or at least be acceptable.
The payment gateway problems also doesn't make things any easier. Our only workaround option for refunds as of now is via PayPal as we are unable to process refunds back to your original payment method unless your order was placed using a PayPal account.
We sure hope you can provide us with the PayPal email so we can send you your hard earned money back. It is not within our customs to keep a dissatisfied customer's money.

Do Not Buy From Here!
Looks like my situation is the same as practically everyone else! I ordered a dress in February and sent an email in April to see why it hadn’t shipped yet. I got some excuse about shipping delays, which I tried to be understanding of. I received 10 off my order and was told it would be shipping soon. May comes around and still nothing. I requested a full refund at that point. It’s been over a month since I requested the refund and all I get is excuses on why it won’t go through or they’re following up with some Ops team on the request. It doesn’t make any sense and it’s extremely disappointing to see this happening to not only myself but so many others. People work hard for their money and this company is just stealing from us!
Edit per reply from the company: I had already provided my PayPal information for a refund and it’s still been over a month and counting. I have been sending a follow up email weekly and I get the same excuse that they are waiting on confirmation of refund details from Ops team. I’m going to have to file a claim with my CC

Hi there, dear customer! We are deeply saddened to hear the predicament you're in. We do take responsibility for this and we shall make no excuses. Shipments have been delayed due to backlogged orders of up to 6 to 8 weeks. As a countermeasure to these, we have been working real hard to acquire two new warehouses in NJ and CA to dramatically cut shipping times. You may not know this, but Souk + SEPIA has suppliers in Asia, being a marketplace of curated pieces from artisans around the globe. We understand that money do not grow on trees and want to process a refund for you right away. We can make that possible by having your PayPal email instead as we cannot normally process refunds like usual due to some technical errors with the payment gateways we have been using. We would greatly appreciate any response from you. Hoping a pleasant day for you!

Hi VJ,
Thank you for writing in! We are utterly displeased to hear how your experience went and we are really sorry for the ordeal. This isn't the kind of treatment we want for any of our customers.
The delays have been caused by backlogged orders for 6 to 8 weeks. It is one hell of a road bump, but we are happy to announce that orders are now beginning to ship out.
As a matter of fact, upon checking, we see that your order has been delivered on the 18th of June, as per the tracking link we have which, as far as we know, have also been sent to you. Please do check your mailbox as the tracking number states it's been delivered there.
Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. We'd be more than happy to help! Wishing you a pleasant rest of the evening!

Hi Simon,
We appreciate your letting us know what you think about us. Others may see this as negative, but we thank you for allowing us a chance to be understood. We understand your frustration, but we're a 100% legitimately black led and owned business headquartered in New York.
Sure, some of our items do ship from parts of Asia as we are an online marketplace with suppliers across the globe, this doesn't mean that we are from China.
We hear your cries of help and have been working on the acquirement of two warehouses in NJ and CA to significantly reduces shipping times. We would really like to take a closer look at this case. We shall process your refund once you reply back to us with your order number and email address.
We are looking forward to hearing back from you so we can begin smoothening things out!

Hello Ingrinette,
As we read your feedback, we cannot help but feel embarrassed and disappointed in ourselves at the same time. It is clear that we haven't been able to make you happy, and that is only natural because of the excruciatingly long waiting time you had to go through.
Upon checking, we see that we have processed a refund via PayPal. We may have given you the impression of being a scam company, but we are 100% legitimate. We are truly sorry for causing trouble and hope you can give us a chance when the shipping times are finally back to normal after the backlogged orders are dealt with.

Poor management
I'm here to join the chorus of dissatisfied customers who purchased clothing this year. It is now going on four months since my order was completed, and no update on when my order will be shipped. At one point I would have been more understanding of processing delays. I'm long beyond that point. I've received some solicitation to come back to the site and buy more items at least once a week if not more. Instead of heavy advertising for folks to come to the website and buy more products that won't ship timely, why not focus all time, effort, and resources on addressing the existing customers who are fed up for not receiving their merchandise? I've never seen such a blatant and bold act of poor customer service and business management. I have sent numerous emails and received nicely articulated responses of having no update. Don't waste your hard earned money with a company that does not truly value their customers (at least not more than their revenue).

FRAUUUDDDDD
This is absolutely disrespectful. I ordered from them one time before and was extremely happy with my order. This time I ordered $518 worth of clothing on 4/11 and have not yet received a tracking number. I’ve emailed and they keep sending automated messages that have nothing to do with the email I sent.
This is absolutely ridiculous, people work hard for their money and to have a black owned business carry on like this is so unacceptable. I have asked for a refund in the form of my money and even now I am willing to accept my order but they are leaving me no choice other than to dispute the charges as fraud with my bank.
I wish had come to see reviews sooner I would not have ordered from them. It is so frustrating when someone is basically playing with your money.

Hi Leandra,
Thank you for writing in! We feel extremely ashamed for the inconvenience we have brought upon you. As a business who cares about our customers, it pains us to hear these things happened to you.
It was only right by you to request for a refund as, admittedly, we believe that we lacked fairness in the situation. Must be a misunderstanding with the dates, but upon double-checking, we've found that the order in question was actually placed on the 30th of April.
That fact considered, the shipping of your order indeed took quite longer than what's acceptable. The backlogged orders of 6 to 8 weeks were the reason for the delays. Anyhow, we are really sorry about the outcome of this order. Although this isn't how we wanted things to wind for you, we are happy to tell you we've processed a full refund back to your card for the $518.58 USD.
We hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to write us again if you have further queries or concerns. Wishing you a pleasant rest of the day!

I have had a wonderful experience with souk+SEPIA. I ordered a pair of shoes and the shipment took longer than usual. I sent an email to check on my order. The response se was quick and Gladys was very professional and helpful. Gladys assured me that my order would be shipped soon. I also received 15% of my money back for the inconvenience and 15% off my next order. The merchandise I order never disappoints me. This company has the best customer service I have ever experienced.

This company is a bunch of crooks
I made a purchase from their site in April 2022, It is now June 2022 and they still have not shipped my order. When I contacted about it they apologized for the delay and offered me either 25% off my order OR a refund in the form of store credit. I wouldn't ever shop from this company again so I chose the 25% off and to continue to wait. They did not refund me 25% of my order but instead sent me a $10 store credit. They also said it would take another 6-8 weeks before they ship my order. This whole company is a scam.

Hello Billie,
Before anything further, we would like to sincerely apologize for the series of troubles that we have inadvertently caused upon you. We couldn't process a refund for the reason that there had been problems with a couple of our payment gateways which we are still currently trying to fix at the moment. However, we can process refunds through PayPal and it would have been possible had there not been a chargeback filed on your end on June 4th.
We are not trying to run away with your money. We know how y'all work hard for your money and we would never tarnish our reputation by seizing our customers' hard-earned funds.

RUN!
Used to be my favorite brand, I purchased orders last year and loved what I received.
I now have three orders that have been placed between 2 and 5 months ago, have received the same long winded and insubstantial emails that everyone else has about shipping delays, and after requesting a refund a month ago, got more run-around about how they’re transitioning into a new payment system (insert more rambling excuses here).
They are unfortunately not to be trusted. They will take your money, keep it, and you will most likely never get your purchase into your hands. Don’t waste your money or energy here.

I placed an order on February 28th
I placed an order on February 28th, 2022 and after a month with no shipping info, I emailed the contact given on the site only to be sent an apology for the delay and was offered a $23 refund and a discount code for future purchase, along with a request to submit a positive review about the handling of my issue. I planned to submit a review, but not until I received the product I already had paid for. Since then, they posted a shipping delay notice on the site but we are now entering June, well past the 60 days they say their orders are being delayed. They have stopped responding to my monthly inquiries and the number posted on their site? Surprise surprise, it’s a NON-WORKING number and it hangs up on you offering no other resolution or resource. Absolute scam and horrible business practices. As sad and repetitive as it is, I sincerely wanted to support a fellow black-owned business and ended up beyond disappointed.

Hello Bonnie,
Thank you so much for speaking out your truth. It is a tough pill to swallow, but admittedly, we have indeed been lackluster in terms of our services these past couple of months. Everything is slowly going back to normal now, though. In our past responses to customers, we have been happily announcing the acquirement of two warehouses in CA and NJ respectively. We are super excited to have them up and running to cut down shipping times. By the way, we do not have a voice support channel just yet, only emails and chats. The phone number is supposed to take you to a voicemail where you can leave your message. We are truly sorry for the disappointment you have been through. We know this has been tough for you and we really do wish things could have gone better for you.
