“Product received late, but it's beautiful”

Jennie T.
6/8/22

I am absolutely satisfied with my dress. It's perfect and looks much better quality than you'd expect for the price. But beware: the delivery time was 2 months for me, although the website only says a delivery time of about 1 month. The customer service is buildable as they can't give you proper information about the processing and delivery times and always just answer the same thing. But the dress arrived, so I'm very happy :).

Top Critical Review

“Size of clothing supplied does not match size details on website”

Kristina C.
10/1/24

I ordered a mens blazer using the dimensions on their size guide but the blazer that arrived was much smaller. Customer support was not helpful, no exchange, only offering a 10% refund, or a credit note to use with them if blazer returned at my expense.

My daughter ordered a dress for prom, it came late and the dress was too big. I started emailing them the same day the dress arrived to return it. 15 emails later, 4 phone calls (no one answers and voicemail full)-- no resolution. I agree with the many others---they make it impossible to return. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME. (Order ZPKSA3387). Get the word out to everyone to avoid Zapaka!

Tip for consumers:
So frustrating. Don't waste your time.

No response to the my multiple follow-ups to *******@zapaka.com regarding the prom dress that we ordered. With the date drawing close I am inclined to report it as a scam.

Dear customers,
We feel sorry about the situation.
All dresses are made to order include standard size.
Have you noticed the tailoring time and shipping time under the "add to cart" button at the dress page (which you ordered).
The order total time = tailoring time + shipping time

I found you purchased order has been shipped.

Order ZAPAKAUS*******

I ordered three dresses but they didn't fit properly so am trying to return them. Order # ZAPAKAUS******* - I have tried to reach the company via the email they tell you to write to, by the phone number they provide and most recently by Instagram. I messaged on Instagram and someone responded, but as soon as I said I needed to do a return, they never responded again.

This company loves to sell, but if anything isn't right, GOOD LUCK. I'm willing to pay the return shipping etc but they insist you contact them for a go-ahead before shipping a return back, but of course then will not respond to any of the supposed ways to reach them.

A total scam of a company. If I don't hear back from anyone by tomorrow, I will be filing a BBB complaint. It's really frustrating.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.
They say "Easy Returns" all over their website, but they say you have to get in touch with them for return instructions before sending a return (at your cost). That's a pain, but fine, EXCEPT that they DO NOT EVER RESPOND. So basically, their "Easy Returns" are really "Jump through a bunch of hoops, and we will make it impossible to return the things you bought with our 'easy returns' policy."

Products used:
I bought 3 dresses. None fit, so am trying to return but the company tries to make it impossible to do that and won't reply.

I saw negative reviews about their website, so I didn't put in an order the first times I saw their ads in my Facebook feed. However, there was this 1950's vintage dress that kept popping up in my feed that I loved and I couldn't find it on any other vintage dress site, so I decided to give it a shot since I couldn't stop thinking about that dress. After putting in the order, I kept worrying that the material would be junky or it would fit poorly; I had really low expectations. But when the order got to me yesterday, I was seriously impressed! It fits me just like I hoped it would, the material is soft and beautiful, and it looks just like the picture on the site when I wear it. It fits true to size and I have absolutely no complaints. I was so pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure why people left so many negative comments. Perhaps they have improved their quality over time? I will say that the shipping time was longer than I normally wait for shipments, but I recognize that they are taking extra precautions with shipping right now, and it was definitely worth the wait for me. I will be shopping from them again in the future!

This company is misleading.
They advertise as Zapaka UK but the return address is China!
It would cost more to post the dress back than I actually paid for it.
Now stuck with a dress that doesn't fit. NEVER BUYING AGAIN AND DONT RECOMMEND.
Order no ZAPAKAUK*******

Going to take it up with PayPal.

This seems to be the same complaint over and over. Paid expedited shipping for 10-15 business days. On the 7th business day we reached out to again explain our situation because nothing seemed to be happening and the dress was of no use AFTER the senior prom. On the 13th business day, we canceled because it hadn't been shipped and it wouldn't arrive on time. I was told I would have to pay shipping and labor based on the time they were working. Since it hadn't been shipped and nothing was custom, I replied a full refund is absolutely expected. I see them repeatedly asking for an order number ZAPAKAUS*******. Today-22 business days later- we got a notice of shipment. These are fraudulent business practices. The BBB has 32 open complaints on this company right now. What an awful experience for young girls excited for their dances.

Tip for consumers:

I had previously bought several dresses from Zapaka and though the craftsmanship was a little off (stiff zippers, loose threads, that sort of thing), I liked the items I received. However, be very careful when purchasing from their website as their customer service is NON-EXISTENT.
Recently I accidentally purchased a dress (order number ZAPAKAAU*******) in the wrong colour. Immediately realising my mistake, I contacted customer service via the 'Contact Us' form on their website AND an email to '*******@zapaka.com', asking them to please cancel the order (I did exactly as their FAQ section instructed, see attached image). I received no response. I sent at least 3 or 4 additional emails to confirm that they received my cancellation request. Silence. I was then notified by email that they had shipped out my order in the colour I had been requesting to return. Naturally, I was angry. I waited to receive the order in the event that they simply swapped out the dress and put in the correct colour, but they didn't. To add insult to injury, the dress was too big (despite me having previously ordered a size small in other dresses with the same shape/silhouette, and those fit correctly). I doubt I'll ever order from this site again.

Tip for consumers:
I have read many reviews stating that their returns process is a scam/full of issues, so I am not optimistic about getting my money back. If they didn't respond to my numerous requests for cancellation, why would they respond to my request for a return?

Products used:
Several dresses purchased in the past, which I liked though the craftsmanship could have been better. They were good for the price, however.
