Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 54 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently noted that the clothing items received looked entirely different from the attractive pictures and descriptions shown on the website. Many people complained that the fabrics felt extremely cheap, poorly made, and of very low quality. Consumers also pointed out that the goods were actually shipped from overseas factories instead of being local as initially advertised. Furthermore, buyers faced major difficulties when attempting to secure refunds or dealing with very expensive return shipping costs. Reviewers strongly advised others to stay away from the site, considering the purchases to be a complete waste of money.

Pack of liars. Dress that arrived look nothing like that advertised. Had no reply to my email complaint. Pretending to be Waiheke Island. Do wished I'd checked Trust Pilot first. I usually do.

This Company should be sued by Waiheke…

This Company should be sued by Waiheke Island in General. I ordered a dress from this so called boutique - products arrived completely different to what I ordered.. The fabric was below standard as was the stitching and tooooo small. I wanted a refund! Was told I had to go complain to China??? What? Hang on - but I bought this in NZ didn’t I? SCAM - stay away. Pack of disgusting people! No refund - no product and Zi checked their company - CLOSED DOWN😡😡😡😡

I would rate negative stars if I could

I would rate negative stars if I could. Do not purchase from this company, clothes sourced from factory in China - worse quality than Temu. Only way for full refund is to return to china at your cost. They will offer you 40% refund - it's the best you will get. Tried Visa dispute with no luck even though they misrepresented themselves. Items took a month a to arrive and were complete rubbish.
DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS WEBSITE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

Beware!

Bought a dress. When delivered it was the wrong colour and the design was not as depicted in the photo. I emailed a complaint and they have not responded. Give this outlet a wide berth. They take your money and run.

The blouses did arrive quickly

The blouses did arrive quickly, in around 2.5 weeks and looked the same as the photos. Luckily I ordered a M when usually Im a S so they only just fit. They are not breathable as made of polyester. Certainly not worth the $90 each. The tracking said it was delivered 27th March but it didnt arrive until the 31st. When I tried to email them which worked the first time it failed the next time and said the email address was incorrect. I am very surprised the website is allowed when they are not in NZ but based in China where the tag says theyre made. Definitely a scam. Once I ordered the products which were showing on my phone many times a day, these ads just stopped. I assume because theyve got me so wont advertise again via IA. There are a lot of false stores cruising around NZ via our phones.

Total scam!

Total sham business. Not NZ at all. Did send products (from China) and poor quality - not at all the 100%cotton that was advertised. When I complained about slow delivery, I then had my email blocked (so I can’t arrange for a return). Will be asking bank for a charge back.
Avoid this ‘company’!!!!

Do not order from this company

The website presents itself as a New Zealand boutique with a “30-day money-back guarantee” and “easy returns,” but this is not the reality.

The item I received was poor quality, the colour was not as advertised, and the sizing was incorrect. When I requested a return, I was told the item would need to be shipped to China at my own expense, with high shipping and customs costs. This was not made clear at the time of purchase and makes the so-called “easy returns” misleading.

Communication was extremely frustrating. I received repeated generic responses that did not address my request, and when I pushed for a resolution, the customer service email became unreachable. I have now requested a chargeback from my bank.

Overall, this was a very poor and misleading experience. I would strongly advise others to avoid this company and purchase from a retailer with transparent policies and accessible customer service.

Oh here we go again

Oh here we go again, I’ve been scammed to, ordered3 garment, a dress not the same colour as on website, trousers that said 100% polyester, and a bra that was laughable, same problem as all you ladies, so cross with myself for getting sucked in, next time I will check with Trustpilot before buying any clothes on line.
DO NOT BUY FROM WAIHEKE BOUTIQUE. PJ.

I would score this site 0…

Like others I would score this site 0 if I could. I should have known better, a Facebook link selling front fastening bra's that looked great. 30 day money back guarantee etc etc. No reference to their terms and conditions, that intimate items could be returned, even though that was the only item in this link. I made many inquiries, hoping to be able to do something, but buyer beware. Best advice, if you want to buy, go out of the link and search for their website and/or reviews for them.

FAKE CHINESE SITE

Like a previous reviewer, if I could give a negative review I would. Lesson learned here is check Trustpilot before ordering online. Garments don't fit, instructions to remove a dress ordered twice in error ignored, instructions to change size of a top ignored, material poor quality, has no tie to Waiheke that i can see. I could go on but you get the gist.

rip off site pretending to be local in New Zealand

long delay in receipt then when got to the point of complaints the item turned up the next day. very poor quality, poor fit, no shipping documents and no return information. when wanting the '30 day guaranteed refund' they said I would have to spend over $100 in shipping and customs back to China. or would give me 25% back in cash now. definitely a rip off.
Update: they offered me 30% refund then blocked me from their email address.

Delivery took a very a long time

Delivery took a very a long time. Bra was not true to size and material was flimsy. Could have bought the bra on Temu at less than half the price Waihere Boutique charge and believe they ordered it on Temu and passed it on. Very disappointed.

False advertising claiming easy returns…

False advertising claiming easy returns with money back guarantee. Sizing all wrong and returns cost more than the garment because company is based in China even though it says Waiheke Boutique NZ.

A 10% refund was offered or credit to buy something else which is an obvious no go.
The company has no integrity and the purchase is simply a trap or scam because they know you won’t send the clothing back to them but they have your money!
