Pink Lily Review and Order Details

Clothing Review

I ordered the below items on 3/26/2023 to my address in North Carolina (United States). I paid a total of $113.69 to Pink Lily / Jack Riley Investments LLC (help@pinkliy.com) via PayPal. The charge appears on my credit card statement as “PAYPAL *PINKLILYBOU”. View Order Confirmation 

1) Sitting In The Garden Brown Floral Romper

  • Color, Size, and Cost: Brown / M / $52
  • Country: Made in the United States
  • Material: 100% Polyester

  • Expectation: It is exactly what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance.
  • Quality: In my opinion, the quality is good. It is comparable to a romper you might find at Express or Gap.
  • Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it does fit. However, it is slightly too short for my torso, so I would prefer a size up. View my body measurements for size reference.
  • Keep or Return: I would keep this Pink Lily romper. It is a bit pricey, but the quality is great. It overall feels sturdy and I don’t see any poor sewing or loose threads. I also love that it has an inner lining,

2) Allie Yellow Straight Leg Jeans

  • Color, Size, and Cost: Yellow / 29 / $54
  • Country: Made in China
  • Material: 98% Cotton, and 2% Spandex

  • Expectation: They are what I was expecting, for the most part, in terms of overall appearance. In person, they are more of a macaroni yellow rather than a beige (which is what I expected based on the product image).
  • Quality: In my opinion, the quality is decent. They are comparable to a pair of jeans you might find at Target or H&M.
  • Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and they fit one to two sizes too small. View my body measurements for size reference.
  • Keep or Return: I would return these Pink Lily jeans. If they were the correct size, I would keep them as I think they are generally decent quality and have a nice slight stretch to them. The button and zipper however seem a  bit cheap to me. For the quality, I think they are overall fairly priced.

Shipment Info

I received two items in one package, and the package came from a warehouse in the United States. I was provided a tracking number.

Package Shipped From- 472 Century St., Bowling Green, KY 42101

  • Order placed on Sun, March 26
  • Order shipped on Thurs, March 30
  • Order received on Sat, April 1

Total time of 6 days

Note: Their shipping policy states up to 8 business days (including processing time) for standard U.S. shipping.

Return & Refund Info

I completed a return request for all items on April 2nd via their return portal. My return was instantly approved, and I was provided a prepaid return label. I mailed the package on April 5th via USPS. While the label was prepaid, Pink Lily deducted $6 from my refund for the label.

I received a full refund (minus the label cost) of $107.69 on April 11th. I received the refund six days after mailing the package. – View Refund Receipt

Provided Return Address– 323 Mitch McConnel Way, Bowling Green, KY 42101

Support Experience

  • When using the return portal, it states that they only offer a refund in the form of store credit. I checked in with customer support via instant chat, and they let me know that they can refund back to the original payment method (but as a one-time courtesy).
  • During this same instant message session, I then asked if this was a one-time courtesy offered to everyone automatically, or just for those who reach out to support. They stopped responding and left me hanging. Pretty unprofessional.
  • They also completely ignored an email I sent asking more about their Philanthropy (they have an entire page dedicated to this).

Is Pink Lily Legit or a Scam?

Similar Sites & Analysis

According to Copyleaks (premium), the below plagiarism is detected:

Do I Recommend This Shop?

Based on my experience, they are legitimate. I paid for my items, received them within the estimated time frame, successfully completed a return, and received a full refund (minus the prepaid label fee).

With that being said, I would conditionally shop here again.

While I am generally happy with the clothing quality, fast shipping, and ease/speed of the return and refund, I am pretty disappointed in their customer service. They stopped responding to my instant messages and completely ignored a separate email further inquiring about their Philanthropy information. So, would I buy from Pink Lily if I saw something really cute and cheaply priced? Probably. Now, would I make this my go-to online shop whenever I’m looking for new clothes? Probably not, as I don’t appreciate poor communication and ghosting.

To wrap up this review, regardless of my experience, be sure to read other customers’ reviews if they are available.
