“Garbage”

If it sounds too good to be true it usually is. The shirts they show on their website look great but what will show up at your front door is completely different, I would be embarrassed to wear these shirts in public, and the sizes are completely off. If you have a problem you have to pay all kinds of fees and spend time trying to return it. This is not an Amazon like company. Don't waste your money buying anything from this company,

Don't Buy! Vendor sent wrong items and then finally settled for halof price for unusable product. It took days of phone calls to even get this relief.

When my items arrived, ALL OF THEM were clearly two full sizes smaller than standard sizing, and the return policy is very much geared in favor of Hawalili and not the customer. That being said, they responded quickly and followed through on our agreed upon resolution.

I was mot fully aware of their return policy (which is my fault), which does not favor the customer, but in all fairness, they did respond quickly and followed through on our agreed upon resolution.

Nice selection, but did not like
1. No time line for delivery
2. Cost of shipping was high and wasn't known until the very end of ordering!

Next time I might look elsewhere because of that.

Here is what you really need to know about Hawalili... Their quality is poor. Sizes are often smaller than they should be. Forget about returning or exchanging items - you would have to send things back to China at your own expense. They will generally offer you a 15% ("stop bothering us") refund for items that are wrong or don't fit. It may take weeks or months for items to arrive, since they are shipped from China.
So why do I buy from Hawalili anyway? Because their Hawaiian shirts are just so outrageously fun that I never fail to get complements from total strangers whenever I wear one. Yes, they have the usual beach scenes and palm tree Hawaiian shirts that you can probably get anywhere, but the pirate, hippy, music and other fun patterns patterns are traffic stopping colorful and an absolute blast to wear. I buy the shirts a size too large (because of the constant sizing problems), and the ones that still don't fit, I give to skinnier family members as gifts. It is what it is, but they are lots of fun (and drive my wife crazy).

As a consumer I recognize these chinese shirts are inexpensive items. BUT as a customer I also recognize Hawalili's acruracy, return policies, and "customer service" is unfortunately terrible, I do not recommend doing business with Hawalili. Accurracy: 1 out of 3 items sent to me was wrong. Return policies: I should send photos of the error AND I should pay for the shipping cost back to China for their error/inaccurracy. "Customer Service": they first offered me 10% discount on my NEXT order. (So I paid for ($20) and should keep the item I did not order, that was sent to me in error, thus avoid paying the shipping back to China for their error AND order from them again...no thank you). After a month of trying to correct this, with no less than 8 emails/requests, the "suprvisor" did up the ante to 50% refund. Keep the $20 dollars Hawalili as my gift to you, you've lost a customer instead of gaining one. Richard B

I am furious with this company. I used the measurements they gave and ordered 7 shirts before a trip I was taking. Not only were the shirts made of lousy material, but 5 of the shirts were too small. Their return policy is a complete fabrication. It states: "If you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase, it is easy to return and receive a refund. Please don't hesitate to contact us at *******@Hawalili.com, we will try our best to meet your request." I dare anyone to test those words. I chatted with customer service online and followed up with emails explaining I want to exchange the shirts, I wasn't asking for a refund, I figured I was dumb enough to order them, but I do want shirts that fit. They responded to me and followed up with several emails that all said the exact same thing. "Because of the cost of returning items Hawalili you may either receive a 15% refund for the shirts or a 20% discount on a future purchase". I did not want a 15% refund for shirts I can't wear and I will NEVER order from this company again. Finally, after many emails back and forth, they sent me a return label (see picture) with an address in CHINA and, of course, no postage. These shirts were sent to me from Chino, CA which is about 70 miles from where I live. I was so frustrated, I just gave the shirts to Goodwill. They were made from the thinnest most flimsy material I have ever seen and all of them were cut way too short, for someone, maybe 5' tall. They make profits from people dumb enough to order from them. Don't be duped, go to a real retail store who is honest and will stand behind their sales.

I ordered two shirts in XXLG size and they were both only slightly bigger in size than a US made medium size shirt.
I wanted to send them back but they said that I would have to pay for all of the shipping costs and it could take over a month to get any replacement since shipping was overseas.
They ended up giving me a discount of around $11 which although was not satisfactory to me was the best I felt that I could do under the circumstances. I ended up giving those 2 XXLG Hawalili shirts to my nephew who wears a US shirt size Medium and they fit him perfectly.

Reason I chose this business:

I had previously received a Hawalili shirt as a gift and liked it.

Ordered 3 shirts and 1 pair of shoes. Received part of my order in a timely manner. But the shoes were the wrong color and I am to pay for return shipping. I thought no big deal, at UPS they told shipping was going to $150.00 to ship them back. Not a chance in hell and I'm paying 150.00 dollars to send back shoes that cost 35.00. I looked again at the ordered I placed, along with there packing slip. Seems that they shipped the wrong color of shoes. Not my mistake its there's. They screwed up and I'm to pay for there screw up. Now they want pictures of the shoes, packing slip, and a copy of my order. What are you kidding me, they don't have there own copies? They don't know what they shipped, they don't have any copies of there own invoices. I still have 2 shirts I'm waiting for. Stay away from this company, there scamming people, send you the wrong order something you don't want cost way to much to return it. They have your money and you end up with crap. I see an investigation in the coming months, way to many complaints. They should change the name to "If It Looks To Good To Be True". Trust me I have nothing to gain just passing on my experience with them. I should have read all reviews before I placed an order, just saying. Good luck if you choose to order from them.
