I really wanted to love this company

I really wanted to love this company. I’ve been ordering from them for several years and have purchased or tried at least 15 dresses. Unfortunately, after my latest experience, I won’t be shopping here again.

What initially drew me in was the unique styling, but over time I’ve noticed the quality decline while the prices have continued to increase. Many of the dresses are made from inexpensive materials, don’t fit as expected, and don’t justify their price point.

My biggest issue is the return policy. Most returns are only issued as store credit, which keeps you coming back to spend more money in hopes of finding something that works. Before you know it, you’ve accumulated hundreds of dollars in store credit because nothing fits or meets expectations. Then, to make matters worse, some items are marked non-returnable—even though you’re ordering online without ever having the opportunity to try them on.

I recently purchased a dress for my wedding festivities, hoping to avoid spending over $3,000 at a bridal boutique. I used my existing store credit and paid additional money for a dress that cost around $250. When it arrived, the quality was comparable to what I’d expect from a much less expensive fast-fashion retailer. It wasn’t flattering, didn’t feel well made, and when I went to exchange it, I discovered it was non-returnable.

After years of giving this company chance after chance, I’ve accepted that the photos and marketing simply don’t match the product being delivered.

If you’re shopping for a special occasion—especially a wedding—I would recommend looking elsewhere. Companies like Azazie or Revolve have been a much better experience for me in terms of quality, value, and customer-friendly return policies.

I genuinely wanted to be a loyal customer, but after this experience, I can’t recommend shopping here.

Shoppers Beware

I would strongly encourage shoppers to read this company's return policy very carefully before placing an order. I purchased three dresses for an event, all in the same size (size 4), yet one fit significantly smaller than the others. Despite the inconsistent sizing, I was unable to return it and was forced to keep all three dresses.
While the quality of the dresses was good, that does not make up for a return policy that leaves customers with very little recourse when an item doesn't fit as expected. Clothing sizes can vary, even within the same order, and when that happens, customers should have a reasonable option to return or exchange items.
My biggest disappointment was not the dress itself—it was the lack of flexibility and customer-friendly service. If you're considering ordering from this company, only do so if you are absolutely certain about the sizing and are willing to keep every item you purchase. Otherwise, you may find yourself stuck with expensive clothing that you cannot wear and cannot return. ⭐⭐☆☆☆

Overpriced

Ridiculously overpriced basic/ cheaply made clothing. The return policy is only store credit, I regret purchasing.

Horrible quality

Horrible quality! The items are very cheap and nothing like what is shown on their site. The customer service is also terrible!! very rude and dismissive.

If you do decide to buy, make sure you truly like the item, because otherwise you’ll be stuck with store credit and lose the shipping fee.

I can’t believe I fell for it.

Do not buy, stay away

Do not buy from the company, it is a scam. They do not ship the items you order. They are extremely over priced. They give you the run around when you talk to them. They only offer store credit. Even when the item has not shipped out, no refund. No refund policy. Terrible experience. I ordered a dress and 3 months now it still has not arrived. They have provided no shipping updates. They offered me another dress but I don't want that option. I would never purchase from this company again.

I purchased a dress for my birthday…

I purchased a dress for my birthday that I didn't end up choosing to wear for my special day. I emailed and requested a return to find out the dress was a final sale items and couldn't be returned for exchange or for store credit . So now I'm stuck with a dress and that is large. I reached out them and they told me that they made it clear when I ordered the item and emailed it was final sale . I took images of the email and the website description and no where did they show that it was a final sale item that could be returned . Never order from them !

Their return policy sucks

Their return policy sucks. Their website does not give you options either to refine your search. No refunds. If you are not happy with your purchase, you are stocked with them with a store credit. Horrible experience. Read their return policy before buying.

Risky Business

Saks was where I found a dress I wanted for my elopement, but they were sold out of my size. I was super excited to find it at JAUS.
The website feels like a normal online brand website. I placed the order, and once you place the order, the Return Policy is on the order confirmation-they do not provide refunds on returned purchases, only store credit. (You can read reviews on how that works out...)
Six minutes after placing the order, I sent an email asking to cancel the order. I really wanted the dress, but was not willing to risk $400 on a dress that may not fit at all.
I also called the phone number that was provided. When you call the number, you get a message that is hard to understand and does not sound like a business at all. I did not leave a message, but I did attempt to call 3 times, just in case someone picked up the phone.
So, I placed the order on Tuesday 10:51PM ET. I sent an email to cancel the order on Tuesday 10:57PM ET. I received an email on Wednesday 12:20PM ET telling me the item had been shipped. (Really, the label was just created, but no tracking is available as the package has not been picked up.)
At 1:20PM, I received an apologetic email saying that the warehouse had fulfilled the order and the order cannot be changed after the order has been fulfilled.
I am really sad that I made the mistake of not fully vetting their return policy as well as Trust Pilot Reviews to see that this is their standard of operation. Their Better Business Reviews, with a rating of "F", are terrible as well-further indication that this is not a good business to spend money with.
They may be a small business, and I understand that their business practices are different. However, none of this is apparent when placing the order with an online vendor, where the practice is to purchase something, have it shipped to you, try it on, and return it if it does not fit.
I feel baited and switched, and I feel that they know they are trapping people. The reviews speak for themselves.
I will also be making a claim with the Better Business Bureau and the State Attorney's Office.

Do not shop here!

Their website is all fake inventory. Everything is out of stock with the same items rotating for the last THREE YEARS I’ve been trying to use a store credit after a return. They have low to no inventory, and intentionally make searching a huge chore. 100% Sketchy.

Tried to cancel order for refund <30 minutes after placed, and denied

Girlfriend just bought two dresses that she liked on here < 30 minutes ago, then saw the refund for store credit only, which is obviously not standard practice. We called just now, storeperson said they "checked with the warehouse and the order had been fulfilled," so there was no way to cancel it for a refund. Apparently they "fulfill orders really fast on the weekdays" so that way they can tell your package is "fulfilled" and steal your money even faster. We will never again order from here, and in the unlikely event anyone ever asks us what we thought of our purchases from Jaus, we will express our dissatisfaction with their predatory anti-consumer practices.

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. The excuse the storeperson gave was that "we are a smaller boutique," but this is exactly the kind of predatory practice that prevents these smaller boutiques from becoming larger or more trusted brands.

Do not buy from here

This is by far the worst store I’ve ever purchased from. Ridiculous return policy that you have to go out of your way to read the fine print. Absolutely no refunds and just store credit. My most recent negative encounter has sent me to write this review. I finally used the store credit I had left over on a bodysuit that I deemed was not worth the money. I tried to return it (and they make you submit a return request to be approved), low and behold it was rejected as you can’t return bodysuits at all… so now I am stuck with a $200 bodysuit that doesn’t even come close to the quality it should be. I also paid for 2-day shipping and it didn’t arrive on time at all. And, I purchased another item along with this one that wasn’t even actually in stock and I had to be contacted by the store after going through with the purchase to let me know. Oh and they completely jack up their prices compared to the actual brands’ websites. This is one of many unpleasant experiences I’ve had with this store because you are forced to use store credit. Absolutely do not buy from here.

Hi Danielle, we deeply regret hearing about your recent experience and your dissatisfaction.

I noticed that our team made an exception for your return, provided that the bodysuit was returned in its original condition with tags attached.

It's important to note that the recommended retail prices (RRPs) or retail prices are determined by the product vendors, not by our Boutique. JAUS is a local US business, and we handle all customs and duties for our customers. Additionally, our customers are spared from paying exorbitant return label fees often associated with returns to Australian vendors.

Should you have any inquiries or require further details about the styles we offer, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 248-283-3994 or hello@shopjaus.com. Our team is here to assist you.

NO RETURNS

Same experience that I hear from all the other reviews. How is this store still in business?! The dress I ordered was super long and needed major alterations. Long and behold I could not return and am stuck with a stupid credit!

Hi Wandy,

Sorry to hear you missed our return policy. We are very transparent about our return policy, it is available on every product page and on our returns policy page. As a small business boutique, it is a common policy.

Many larger companies (household names) have this policy, and around 40% are changing their policies to charge for return labels and restocking fees as there are increasing concerns regarding unnecessary excessive purchasing and returns.

I'd suggest taking a moment to look into the return policy of any store you're considering buying from, just to make sure it aligns with your preferences before placing an order.

If you have any questions regarding any of our styles or sizing, please reach out to our team and we will be more than happy to assist you.

Love,
JAUS

Hi Ingrid, Shein is currently facing multiple copyright lawsuits for stealing and manufacturing designs from small companies just like ours and many of the hardworking Australian brands we work with. They are facing serious allegations of exploiting labor and manufacturing their garments cheaply through unsafe conditions, underpaid workers, and unchecked working hours.

Please be aware that it is impossible for us or our brands to manufacturer a garment ethically at cost for $20, let alone sell it at retail for $20.

We are proud of the Australian Brands we carry, and I’m sorry to hear you have an issue with the dress you ordered.

Unfortunately we cannot find any recent orders with your name from a Canadian customer so please contact us so we may help you. Our email is hello@shopjaus.com or you can call us on 248-283-3994. We look forward to hearing from you.

Love,
JAUS

If I could give a zero review I would

If I could give a zero review I would! Like a lot of other customers that didn’t get what they wanted, that’s me too. I appreciate great clothes and had decided to order from jaus. Store credit only return policy is so so so old school. It times when you can’t try the clothes on it is to me a rip-off. Took me over 6 months after returning a dress that didn’t fit me right to reorder a pair pants that also doesn’t fit right. But they are sitting in my closet and I can’t wear them just because I can’t deal with jaus’s return policy anymore. I will never ever order from them again. I will also tell everyone I know to do the same. Thank you for a pair of green pants I can’t wear!!!!!!
