eShakti review: no customer service 15

I also ordered 2 dresses on eShakti and spent $200. The dresses were not made to the measurements that I provided, and are several sizes too large. Afeter i had sent several e-mails to their customer "Champion", a remake was promised for one dress, and a refund for the other, but this was 3 weeks ago and I have not received anything so far. I have tried to call them on several occasions, but the 1-866 number does not operate in my area ( I live in Canada) and the other goes to an un-specified voicemailbox.

I'm so disappointed with my decision to buy from Eshakti aswell and would like to write about it so others benefit.
I spent over $150 and ordered for a holiday but it never reached on time as promised. I should have canceled my order but hoping to wear them in summer I just canceled one skirt because I needed to buy one for the trip anyway and they gave me a credit after a very long discussion and number of phone calls. Customer service is very bad, each time Carol/Lakshmi told a different story and I had to help them calculate the right amount which they took long time to understand. I even recorded the conversation just in case they don't provide right credit. And now I have ordered another item for the balance of the credit and its been more than 14 days and there is no mail on the status of my order, no tracking number, I have no clue of my order. when I asked I get to know the order is canceled as they cannot process it and I got a mail saying they will get back to me in 1 business day and emailed me after a week to say they will refund the money excluding shipping like it was my fault that they could not process my order. While all this is problem with customer service and delivery delays, the clothes were definitely not made to measurements provided, I specifically told that I did not want the neckline to be more than 7 inches, it came with 11 inches... its a waste, I did not check that on time and return policy is so strict that now I decided to dump it in clothing Drop. I have two tops worth $75 that I will be putting in clothing Drop Box for they don't fit me right.

I purchased 7 garments and paid the additional customization fee for all 7. Long and short...the garments didn't fit, they were too small as the measurements were not followed at all. I could accept the bad fit if I could even get the garment over my head and past my shoulders. I gave them a measurement of 22" for the shoulders, the shirts were 17-18". I'm 5'10 with a 46" bust. There was no way the shirts were wide enough for 46" nor very long. Additionally, some of the shirts had size labels (size 22) attached while some had "custom" labels. That leads me to believe that although I paid for customization for all, some of the shirts were just pulled off the shelf. I asked to have the shirts remade. The company refused and decided to refund.

Now what they refunded me...They refused to refund the customization fee which was charged separate from the garments and shipping. On order one, the cost of the garments alone was $167.80, the company refunded $112.80. On order two, the cost of the garments alone was $174.85, the company refunded $144.85.

At this point I'm reporting them to my credit card company and the BBB to get my money back.

I strongly suggest you do NOT/NOT order any customized garments. They can't follow the measurements given and it appears they don't understand simple math.

Eshakti's clothing is made from the cheapest fabrics imaginable. I ordered two standard size 12 dresses no customization and the proportions were so way off. The dresses are ill fitting and the "cotton satin" material should really be listed as tissue paper because that's how thin the fabric is. There isn't even any lining under the dresses. I will never wear them! What a waste of money! I would have returned them however it would not have been worth the effort since I live in Canada and had to pay an additional $42.00 for custom fees to the Fedex man at the door to receive my order. I have bought clothing online before and those previous purchases were hitch free. Eshakti was a complete and utter waste of money. Please ladies consider yourself warned. Unless you like cheap looking sub par clothing stay away from eshakti. No matter how tempting their styles might be. What you see is better than what you will actually get.

I have tried to place an order 4 times. Each time the website either went down or the total invoice was incorrect, requiring I go back and reinsert an item or two deleated. I have called customer service, with does not exist. I would advise anyone dealing with this company to double check their credit card history, frequently. I am wondering if they are actually operating from India, with a Seattle phone or clearinghouse?

Their customer service has improved so drastically! oh and their spring summer collection is adorable! Give them another go girlies! just got my order and its fits like a glove..so excited!

I bought into the hype of eShakti, and after seeing a friend in one of their dresses, and she looked beautiful, I decided to go for it. I ordered 2 dresses, the first with customized sizing and sleeve/length/neckline alterations, and the second without any customizing. When the first dress arrived at least 2 sizes too big throughout the chest and the empire waist at my waist, I thought "well maybe if I don't customize anything it will be better." The second dress I got fit great and I was happy, until on the same day I received it I tried it on to show my husband and the zipper broke! I was trapped inside the dress and eventually had to be cut out! I was humiliated, and we discovered it was because of faulty zipper installment on the part of eShakti staff. I am so irate, and I still have not heard from their customer service representative after two phone messages and two emails! I plan on reporting them to the BBB and will not be buying from them again. I suggest you avoid this poor excuse for a clothing distributor at all costs. Buy from somewhere that respects you as a consumer, as this place surely just wants your money and not your satisfaction.

If you're happy with your order your fine but if you're not that's where the problem begins. It's a gamble to buy from them. If you're not made of money I wouldn't risk it.

Horrible customer service! Their website states that the first time you customize a dress it's free. I was charged $7.50. I sent numerous emails trying to get them to reimburse me the fee. No response. I've filed a complaint with the BBB and will escalate to my credit card company if it's not reimbursed to me. I get that it's only $7.50 but for me it's the principle. If you say you won't charge then you don't. If you charge by mistake correct it. Will not order from them again.

My items finally arrived today after ordering them on march 30th they came april 24th. The guarantee on their website about shipping time is ###.

So my order finally comes im in canada and I had to pay the UPS guy 160$ in brokerage and custom fees.! ridiculous!

When my items came I received 2 of the same dresses and one of my dresses was missing.

I ended up returning 5 dresses and keeping 3 and it costs me 21$ to mail the dresses back to WA.

I will never order from this company again. I wasted so much money on these items!
The dresses fit well because I custom ordered it but they weren’t amazing fabrics or dresses.

I am very disappointed in this company.

Same here, zero customer service. I ordered a gift card which was set (through their website delivery date function) to be delivered on Christmas, and of course it wasn't. - basically making me look a bit like a jerk. I sent 3 requests for an explanation to three separate eShakti customer service email addresses. All three bounced back - Full mailboxes. Worse- My wife has yet to receive her gift card.

Who runs a business like this?

just got my two dresses in the mail, and LOVE them! They are a tad bit to short in the torso, but that is honestly an issue with every dress I buy, cause I am so long/tall. Going to be buying more from them, and have my eye on several :D

I have ordered at least 6 dresses from eshakti that I customized. My dresses were lined, pocketed, and simply beautiful. The stitching is amazing, fit was perfect, and elegant material. Everytime I wear one of the dresses, I get stopped and complimented. Thank you, Santosh, pattern maker, Visay, cutter, Abwmanya, Tailor, and Dilip, Quality Assurer for your hard work and beautiful dress.
