This "company" was once apart of the Storenvy company but has since been shout down and now operates off the www.alanaskyboutique.com site. I placed an order and made several complaints to both the vendor directly and Storenvy because my products never arrived. Alana Sky Boutique NEVER responded to any of my many messages both on instagram and via email. The customer service rep from Storenvy did reply and basically said thanks for your complaint, we have shout them down and unfortunately you can't get your money back! Please don't waste your time or money at this boutique you will get nothing in return...well maybe a headache!

You and your "business" is a joke! You don't respond to emails nor do you issue refunds for merchandise YOU NEVER DELIVERED!!! As a matter of fact I'm going to report you to the bbb I hope no one else falls victim to this scam artist. Falling a little behind??? I placed an order with you in September and contacted your "company" by email multiple times with no response! You should be ashamed of yourself.

I am a reputable buisness a few orders ran behind those customers have either been refunded via Paypal or have recieved there items. This person is a liar and will have a lawsuit filed against them as well as this website for for slandering my buisness and character. I am no longer affiliated with Storenvy because the only except payments via Paypal and Paypal is a huge rip off with al off there fees for both the buyers and sellers.
This website is whats fraudelent your requesting $2000 from buisnesses to file abritration paperwork against you for allowing blasphemy to be falsely reported. Who is really stealing customers money here?
EDITOR’S NOTE: Ripoff Report strongly believes in the First Amendment, even when it is about us. We understand that people who have complaints written about them are upset and want to place blame somewhere, especially if they feel the content of the Reports are false. We also understand that individuals want to blame our website rather than where it belongs – on the person who wrote the Reports in the first place. Using the same method that we provide free of charge to all of our users, we would like to “set the record straight” as to the comments posted about our website through this Rebuttal.
Every user of our website has the opportunity to tell their side of the story, for free, just as we will do here. We certainly encourage users to “set the record straight” and tell their side of the story by using the free methods available to them before they consider other paid Ripoff Report programs (such as our VIP Arbitration Program or the Corporate Advocacy Program) or alterative avenues (such as filing a lawsuit against the Author of the report) that cost money. After all, all we know is that users of our site affirm, before posting a Report, that the information is truthful and accurate and the user acknowledges that the information will become a permanent record. This is why we allow Reports, Comments, Rebuttals and Updates, for free, by anyone (including the person/company posted about) who has information to share about the situation. This includes the ability to upload documents that support the position that is being advanced. By doing so, all sides of the story are able to be heard so other users of the site can make an educated decision about the situation for themselves. We encourage people to stick to the facts and write calmly worded accounts of the situation.
It is clear that the author of the above Rebuttal is upset about the content that the original Report Author wrote about them and seemingly wants to blame Ripoff Report for providing a forum where people can come and openly comment about their experiences. Again, we encourage people to stick to the facts and write calmly worded accounts of the situation. Further, it’s absurd to propose that Ripoff Report, which is an open and interactive website, should not be available for people to make comments without fact checking every single statement of fact posted. With that kind of rationale, one could kiss the internet goodbye. Do you think that Facebook or Twitter or any other mainstream interactive websites, including news blogs, would exist if you told the users that no one could post any comments about anyone, or anything without first fact checking everyone’s comments? Of course not! To require such action would be to stifle the freedom of speech and the free exchange of information and ideas. Ripoff Report is “for consumers, by consumers” and, in fact, our Terms of Service say, at paragraph 3, “Opinions, advice, statements, offers or other information or content made available through ROR are those of their respective authors and not of [Ripoff Report] and should not necessarily be relied upon. Such authors are solely responsible for the accuracy of such content. [Ripoff Report] does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information on ROR and neither adopts nor endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice or statement made.” Ripoff Report does not hold out that any information posted by users of the website is accurate or necessarily reliable. We encourage people to conduct thorough research, through more than one forum/medium, before making final decisions about an particular individual or business. After all, no business can please 100% of their customers 100% of the time. Sometimes there are miscommunications. Sometimes a business’s staff member is having a bad day. Sometimes the customer is having a bad day. Warranted or not…all businesses get complaints. We believe it’s how businesses take care of the complaints that separates good businesses from the rest.
The Rebuttal author had the opportunity to write a calmly worded Rebuttal to explain their position regarding the Report at issue. They did so, in part – but then chose to lash out at Ripoff Report by suggesting that Ripoff Report was somehow a fraud for offering legitimate services to customers who want something more than the opportunity to write a free Rebuttal and further suggested that they were going to file a lawsuit against the original author of the Report and Ripoff Report. As you can see, Ripoff Report itself falls prey to critics…even on our own website and other places on the internet.. Again, DO YOUR RESEARCH before assuming that everything you read on the internet is true.
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT:
1) Those who use the site affirm, before posting, that the information is truthful and accurate. The author is the one who assumes liability for posting information, if, in fact, what they say is false.
2) Ripoff Report is a forum for free speech and does not assume liability for content which was written by a third party in such an interactive forum. This is the same for other sites where people can openly post content and the law that supports this is the Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act.
3) $2,000 is the cost of Ripoff Report's VIP Arbitration Program - a program that removes only challenged statements of facts in a Report that are found to be to be false after presentation of evidence to an independent arbitrator. Even in that instance, the Report is not removed. Only challenged statements of fact that are found to be false by the arbitrator will be (((REDACTED))). Ripoff Report’s panel of arbitrators are highly skilled and do not work for free. Nor does our administrative staff work for free. Accordingly, Ripoff Report has to charge a fee in order to offer the program. To understand the full context of our Arbitration Program, we invite you to review all of the applicable information, including the Program Rules, by visiting our arbitration webpage at http://www.ripoffreport.com/Arbitration.aspx.
4) What the above Rebuttal author posted about Ripoff Report is simply inaccurate and we encourage you to do your own research.
Consumers – if a business reaches out to you to try and resolve a problem, whether it be through postings on our website or other avenues, we encourage you to work with the business and work through the situation with fairness in mind. Sometimes a resolution just cannot be reached and each party is entitled to his/her opinion about the situation. We don’t condone businesses trying to take advantage of consumers – that’s why our website was started in the first place. At the same time, we don’t condone consumers, other business competitors, or disgruntled ex-employees or partners trying to take advantage of businesses either. To all parties: Keep it calm. Keep it honest. Keep it fair. Do your research.
We thank you for taking the time to read this Rebuttal and allowing us to “set the record straight.”
