Skin1004 Reviews

Fraudulent and no business integrity

Like many other customers I was lured in by the Black Friday and Cyber Monday events I only place an order for largely discounted items for a total amount below my country s duty allowance From that moment on everything went downhill The company was unable to follow up with the increase in orders because of the popularity of the sales My order took 7 days to be fulfilled and transferred to the warehouse Contrary to what was advertised on their website the delivery doesn t occur in 5-9 business days with FedEx They use a shipping intermediary called ShipGate to ship to Europe and that sets the delivery in 14-35 days Above all they provided fraudulent export documents to accompany my shipment all the items were listed at full price and even the gift I received with my order was listed under its regular price Mind you my whole order were items priced 50 or 80 off Countless customers in Europe flooded their social media with accounts of not getting their order or being hit with customs duties that they didn t expect because they were under the duty allowance This is because of their fraudulent practice I managed to contact ShipGate to demand to know what paperwork was submitted for the export They revealed what I said about regular prices and tried to hide behind Korean Customs Service s guidelines Actually that is incorrect Korean Customs recommends that items that benefit from a general discount which happened during Black Friday be listed at the sale price I flagged it to both Skin1004 and ShipGate I managed to stop the shipping until the Korean Customs gets back with their answer but Skin1004 hasn t cared to respond to me or other furious customers Mind you I even called my country s customs office and they confirmed what I knew I should be taxed for the amount I actually paid and anything else is fraudulent from the exporter s point of view As an example other companies that ship from South Korea such as Stylevena or Olive Young provide export documentation that reflects exactly what the customer paid and Olive Young even programmed the duty free allowance for your destination country at check out to alert you I will never ever buy from this brand directly or even through another trusted retailer They are not in the business of respecting their customers

ILLEAGAL refund policy

This is their refund policy which is illegal RETURNS Due to sanitary purposes skin1004 goods are non-returnable If you ordered the wrong item cancellation is not possible Please double check your order before placing I ordered their products and requested to cancel a few days later when the shipment had not been created They do not even provide a cancel or a refund option on their website so I had to contact them through email Then I got a reply saying that as per their policy they could not cancel the order even though it was not shipped yet I replied that it is illegal to refuse to return as per KOREA s Act on the Financial Consumer Protection so they must cancel my order My request was ignored and they decided to create the shipping label the next day I tried to contact them through chat on Korea s website Kakao talk and Instagram but they ignored all my messages and replied We will get back to you in a few minutes I cannot imagine how many international customers have been scammed by this company s illegal refund policy

Bought Products Never got them NEVER REFUNDED

I bought a few products on the skin1004 com website and expected to receive them a week later Despite this DHL told me it was returned to shipper I NEVER got a response from skin1004 or DHL and had to contact them personally First I contacted skin1004 which told me to reach out to DHL After I contacted DHL they told me to reach out to skin1004 regarding the return I was never told once that I would get my money back I had to call Chase and dispute the charge in order to get refunded

One of the worst experiences ever

They entered the wrong amount for

They entered the wrong amount for customs clearance which caused me to pay higher taxes On top of that they don t respond to emails and didn t even provide my invoice in PDF format This experience has been such a disappointment It was my favorite brand

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER I made an order of skincare for my mother to introduce her to Skin Care I spent 86 48 Skin1004 has provided customs with an UNLAWFUL total of 230 dollars with a WRONG calculated bill Therefore Customs is now billing me for almost 70 of taxes for values I DIDN T PAY TO THEM They didn t include the discounts in the invoice This is breaking not only Korean Customs laws but also Italian Customs laws This is unacceptable and they won t respond to any e-mails posts or instagram messages DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY

SCAM

i placed an order that costs 85 60 but you declared 319 to customs and now i have to pay 92 as custom fees This is illegal and i contacted you to get the real invoice but no response then my local transporter and because what i paid do not match the declared value they returned it to skin1004 I ll have to report this as a fraud to korean customs if no solution is provided And i invite everyone else to do the same Their refund policy is illegal
