Noracora is an international B2C online fashion shopping destination that says its goal is to always provide customers “stunning, high-quality fashion products at down-to-earth prices”.
The big question is whether this is just advert-speak, or whether Noracora actually holds top-quality fashion pieces at friendly prices. Also, as an online platform, does Noracora offer top services that we’ll expect of the ideal online fashion store (such as easy ordering, fast delivery, easy returns, effective customer support service, etc)? In the first place, is Noracora legit, or is it just another sweet-talking scam store out to rip off unsuspecting customers?
Yes, Noracora is legit. It is not a scam online store because customers receive the items purchased from the website without a problem. But…
This Noracora review will examine Noracora in order to provide the information that will help you answer these questions and more.

What is Noracora?
Noracora is an international B2C online fashion destination that was established in 2016. The company focuses on women’s wear (especially casual wears), providing dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes, bags, and accessories. Noracora is one of the brands of CHICV International Holding Limited, which is responsible for many other Chinese cross-border fashion online stores including JustFashionNow, and StyleWe.
Thus, Noracora is a Chinese cross border fashion online store; and like its sister sites, it produces trendy fashions products in China and ships these to worldwide customers. Noracora actually has a facility in the US, and some orders are fulfilled from there, but the bulk of its orders ships from China. Noracora says its goal is not just to provide a range of products, but to provide high-quality products at unbeatable prices.
Noracora operates exclusively as an online store. It does not operate physical retail outlets; so to buy from Noracora, you’ll have to visit www.noracora.com or use its apps. Its services can be used by all persons of over 18 years of age.
is Noracora legit?
Every other day, unsuspecting customers get ripped off on the internet. Thus, before using any online platform it’s wise to ensure that it is legit. The big question here is whether Noracora is legit.
Our first check of a legit online platform is legality. This is because stores that are 100% legal are less likely to be scams. Interestingly, Noracora ticks the legality box; it is operated by CHICV International Holding Limited, which is a duly registered company in Hong Kong. Suffice it to say that scam stores do not bother with company registration certificates.
Another check of a legit online platform is the test of time. This is because scam stores are usually short-lived. Noracora does not come out flying in this regards, as it was started only in 2016. However, though Noracora is relatively young in the industry, its 3 years of operation is enough for it to pass this test of time. This is because in this era of fast communication, it’s only a matter of time before a scam store is discovered; and with such discovery, the scam store usually disappears.
However, the ultimate check of a legit online platform is fitness for purpose. This is because it is only a legit online fashion store that will deliver real and functional products to customers who place orders; on the other hand, the scam stores are designed to rip off people, so they do not fulfil orders. Interestingly, Noracora does fulfil orders. Granted you’ll find some delivery related complaints; with the affected customers throwing the scam label at Noracora. However, lots of others receive delivery of their orders, and these are largely functional. Thus, even with the complaints, Noracora comes out as a legit online fashion store, albeit one with significant issues that needs attention.
That said, with Noracora operated by a 100% legal company, and having a record of fulfilling orders, it is safe to say that it is a legit online fashion store.
Is Noracora safe
Yes, Noracora is also safe. They will never expose your personal data or financial information to any third party or theft.
However, an online fashion store is legit is not enough. Being legit, it will not rip you off and leave you out of pocket. However, if it is not safe, sensitive information (such as personal data and credit card information) that you share with it can leak out leaving you exposed to all the fraudsters out there. That said; the ideal online store should both be legit and safe.
In this regards, Noracora says it “implements a variety of security measures when a user places an order, enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information”. Among the technical measures employed is Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. Noracora adds that “all transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed in [its] servers”.
SSL is the industry standard for ensuring safe data exchange between buyer devices and seller’s servers. Suffice it to say that the encryption protocol is bank-grade. With payment information not stored in Noracora’s servers; even if there is a data breach, your payment instrument data will not be compromised. That said; it’s safe to say that Noracora is safe.

Products
The one-stop stores always come out strong because they allow customers to get their needs in one place. One-stop shipping is convenient and comes with cost savings. The savings may come from not spreading your purchase to different stores and qualifying for large order discount; it may also come from paying to ship one order instead of paying to ship multiple orders from multiple stores.
In this regards, Noracora comes out relatively well. It is a store that specializes in women’s wear, with a focus on casual wear. When shopping in Noracora, the product categories (and items in each category) that you’ll find are:
- Sweaters & Cardigans
- Tops – Casual Tops, Blouse & Shirts, Linen Tops
- Dresses – Casual Dresses, Maxi Dresses, Linen & Cotton Dresses
- Plus Size –
- Outerwear – Coats & Jackets, Hoodies & Sweatshirts
- Shoes – Boots, Sandals, Loafers
- Bottoms – Linen & Cotton Bottoms, Denim & Jeans, Leggings
- Accessories – Scarf, Gloves/ Mittens, Jewelry, Socks, Hats, Lingerie
Buying from Noracora
The ideal online fashion store should feature easy ordering. Noracora does relatively well in this regards. The website is easy to navigate and works well on both desktop and mobile devices. The company is also one of the online fashion stores that have developed mobile apps. You’ll find the Android and iOS apps in the respective app store, and these have good ratings. Thus, Noracora will give you optimal mobile shopping experience.
Because the Noracora platform is easy to use, finding your favourite items is relatively easy. Simply search through the product categories, or type a keyword into the search button. When you find an item, click on it to get to its description page. You’ll find other product images for a better view; you’ll find a detailed description of the product, as well as shipping and return info.
If you want to buy the product, select a colour, a size, and the quantity wanted, then add it to your cart. At any time, you can click the bag icon on the page to go to your cart for checkout. At checkout, you’ll have to submit your shipping information for the applicable shipping charges to be produced. You can then view your order total; then proceed to select a payment method, and pay for your order.
Many times, after submitting an order, customers will have a change of heart and will want to modify or cancel the order. That said; online fashion stores that allow already submitted orders to be modified or cancelled usually come out strong. Thankfully, Noracora does relatively well in this regards.
You have a change of heart you can simply cancel your order, and place a fresh one. However, you cannot cancel an order from your end; you’ll have to contact the customer support team and submit a request.
Also, cancellation is free (you’ll get a full refund) only if you contact Noracora within 24 hours of placing the order. If the request is made after 24 hours of order placement (but before the order ships), a 15% cancellation fee applies; meaning you’ll only get a partial refund (75% of the order amount).
Pricing and Related Policies
Pricing
Every shopper wants the best prices possible. So the ideal online fashion store should feature prices that are perceived as reasonable. In this regards, the promise of Noracora is to provide stunning, high-quality fashion products at down-to-earth prices. Thankfully, looking at the listing prices of Noracora, it is safe to say that it lives up to this promise.
For example, at the time of writing this review, of the 1500+ dresses listed in the store, only 5 were over $50; prices began at $11.50, many of them were under $30. Also, in the Tops category, tens of items were under $10; the bulk of items were under $20; and of the over 10,000 Tops listed, only 45 were over $50. You can go through other product categories, and you’ll really find down-to-earth prices
Promotions
For reasons very related to what is described above (getting the best price), customers gravitate towards stores that offer a lot of promotions. This is because promotions allow customers to get items for significantly less than the going rate of the items.
Thankfully, Noracora comes out as a promotions-generous store. For example, on getting to the landing page of the website, you’ll be greeted by different promotional offers. At the time of writing this review, some of the offers that the homepage announced included:
- Buy 3, get 4th 40% off
- Buy 2, Get 3rd 20% off
- $40 off orders over $269
- $20 off orders over $159
- $10 off orders over $79
- 10% off orders over $69
As it is in every online fashion store, the promotions are time-specific. They run for only a limited period of time; so you’ll have to check the website regularly to know what promo is being offered. Alternatively, you can submit your email address in registration for the Noracora email alerts, and you’ll receive alerts of offers and deals. We usually find that online fashion stores incentivize registrations for newsletters (via discounts on the next purchase after registration). However, we didn’t find such an offer in Noracora; and for a promotion-generous store, this was surprising.
Payment Methods
You won’t want a headache when spending your money. Thus, you’ll want to find a range of convenient payment methods for paying for your order.
In this regards, Noracora does not break the roof with a long list of supported payment methods. Rather it supports simple and generic methods that you can conveniently use to pay for your order no matter where you may be. These include: PayPal and Credit/ Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro)
Shipping
Shipping is an important part of any review of an online store. This is because whatever you order in store will have to be shipped to your nominated shipping address. Among the important shipping considerations are shipping destination, delivery times, and shipping costs.
Shipping Destinations
You’ll have to consider whether the online store ships merchandise to your destination. If it doesn’t; your order may not process, and if it processes, it may be difficult to receive delivery of the items. In this regards, online stores that ships merchandise worldwide to come out strong so that wherever the customer is located is more likely to be served.
Noracora does very well in this regards. It ships to over 230 countries across the globe. That said, no matter where you are located, you’ll be able to make a purchase from Noracora.
Delivery Times
Delivery time is another thing that online shoppers pay close attention to, as no shopper will want to wait for too long after placing an order to receive delivery of the items. Thus, the ideal online fashions tore should feature fast delivery.
Delivery times consist of order processing time and shipment time. The former is how much time it takes from when the order is placed to when the package ships, while the latter is how much time it takes from when the package ships to when it arrives at the customer’s shipping address.
In this regards, Noracora says that its processing time typically takes 3 – 10 business days upon payment. This definitely is not one of the fastest order processing times out there.
After the item ships, how long it takes to arrive will depend on the location the item is shipping to, and the shipping option selected. Noracora advertises that it offers a couple of shipping options; but it names only Super Savings, saying that it takes 7 – 30 business days.
However, when we selected items into our shopping cart; after putting our Oviedo (Florida) shipping address, the only shipping option available was “Postal Shipping”, and the shipping time given was 10 – 15 business days.
Especially for the relatively long order processing time, Noracora is not known for fast delivery. Yes, some customers reported getting their orders on time, but many more reported late deliveries.
Shipping Cost
The total cost of an online purchase is usually made up of the item’s price and its shipping costs. Thus, if the shipping cost is high, even items that are acceptably priced can easily become too expensive to get. Thus, the ideal online fashion store should feature shipping costs that are as low as possible.
The shipping costs in Noracora vary, depending on your shipping address, and the available shipping option available to you. Usually, faster shipping options command higher fees. Since flat shipping rates are not possible, applicable shipping costs will be calculated for you at checkout.
When testing Noracora for this review, we selected a White Solid Half sleeve Dress priced $25.13 into our shopping cart; after putting our Oviedo (Florida) shipping address, the only shipping option available was a “Postal Shipping”, which will take 10 – 15 business days and cost $6.00. Adding another item (a flat Heel Boot) priced $21.83, the shipping cost increased by $2 to $8.00.
The lowest possible shipping cost is $0.00, which is free shipping. Thankfully, Noracora offers free shipping. However, the minimum order requirements apply. Your order will have to be worth $89 to qualify for free shipping. It’s a good thing that free shipping is offered.
Returns
One of the things that persons look at before committing to an online store is its return policy. This is because, there is a real chance of receiving your order, and finding it to be not totally satisfactory; and instead of being stuck with an unwanted item, you’ll definitely want to be able to return it (and get a replacement or a refund). Thus, online stores that allow returns always come out strong.
Thankfully, Noracora allows returns saying that “if you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase, it is easy to exchange or refund”.
Eligible Returns and Return Conditions
In every online fashion store, it is not everything that can be bought from the store that can be returned. That said, you’ll not want any return restrictions so that you’ll not end up with items that you’ll want to return but cannot because they are ineligible for return.
In this regards, Noracora does not allow the return of Swimwear, bags and accessories. You’ll find swimwear restricted in almost all fashion stores for health reasons. Accessories are also usually restricted, but bags… Bags are items that are not usually restricted. That said if you don’t mind being unable to return bags; then the Noracora “return restrictions” is probably alright.
While other items are eligible for returns, for the items to be accepted back by Noracora, they must be in their original new conditions. That is, they must be in the same state they were when delivered to you. They must be unused, undamaged, and unaltered; and they must be returned in their original packaging, with all articles in the package intact.
Return Process
It is not enough that an online store allows returns; you’ll not want a cumbersome return process that’ll add to the frustrations of receiving an unsatisfactory item. Thus, the ideal online store should have an easy return process.
In this regards, Noracora does not offer a “no questions asked” return process. If you have to return an item in your Noracora order, you’ll have to contact the customer support team of the company and submit a return request. In the request, you’ll have to state the reasons for wanting to make the return and attach photos of any claim.
Noracora will review such request, and if approved, you’ll get an authorization email, which will carry return instructions and return address. You can then proceed to package the item appropriately, and ship to the return address. However, as the customer reviews show, actually getting return authorization from Noracora is not as easy as the company will make it sound (More on this in the complaints section).
Return Window
However, you do not have forever to make up your mind. This is because online stores will only accept returns getting back to them within a specified time period. That said, you’ll want an extended period so that the item you are returning will not reach the store’s facility late and be rejected.
In this regards, Noracora gives a 15 days return window. That is, eligible items can be returned only within 15 days from the delivery date. If you’ve checked reviews of other online fashion stores, you’ll find that the 15 days return window of Noracora is relative. In fact, it is only half of the often seen 30 days return window.
That said; if you receive a Noracora order and will want to return any item from it, you’ll have to act fast, so that the unwanted item will not get to Noracora late and be rejected.
Cost of Return
You definitely will not want to return an unwanted item to its retailer and be faced with prohibitive costs. Thus, the ideal online fashion store should feature return costs that are as low as possible. Return costs seen in the industry include: restocking fees and return shipping costs.
Thankfully, Noracora does not charge restocking fees. However, return shipping fees apply, as it does not offer free returns. Also, it does not offer Shipping Labels for making returns, so the cost of return shipping varies, depending on what the carrier you chose to use charges.
However, the return shipping address is in China. Noracora does not state this in its return policy. You’ll only find out when you get a return authorization. The implication is that return shipping cost (all the way to China) can be very high.
Return Processing and Refunds
Another important consideration is: when and how you’ll get refunded. After, shipping back an unsatisfactory order, you’ll not want to keep waiting for long before you get your refunds. Thus, the ideal online fashion store should feature the swift processing of returns and issuing of refunds.
In this regards, Noracora advertises that after receipt of return package it issues refunds to the original payment method within a week. This is a relatively fast “return/ refund processing time”, as there are many stories in the industry that take longer. However, it should be noted that the funds will not reflect in your account immediately; it’ll usually take some time (sometimes up to two additional weeks) depending on your financial institution.
It is also seen that Noracora issues refunds via the original payment method. This means that you will get your money back. This is a big deal because there are some online fashion stores in the industry that only issue store credits for returns. Needless to say, many customers are no fans of store credits. This is because store credits tie the receiver to the particular store, such that the received funds must be used for future purchases in the particular store. However, many customers who return items to a store and get refunded will want to walk away and use the funds in other stores.
Customer Support Service
Many times, persons have questions about an online store and its products, services, etc; and they’ll need answers to these before they commit to using the store. Even after committing to a store, some will have issues with their orders, account, etc; and they’ll need these resolved if they are to be return customers.
That said; the ideal online store should have an effective customer support service for answering the questions and resolving the issues that its customers may have. The online platform usually provides assistance using a combination of self-help resources and contact-support. Thankfully, Noracora is not different.
For self-help, you’ll find an FAQ page in the Noracora website. The FAQ holds short answers to many of the questions that customers have asked in the past. Unfortunately, you’ll find that the FAQ is not detailed as it only deals with how to register, and placing orders. However, you’ll find other helpful articles in the “Customer Guidance” and “Policy” sections of the website. For example the former holds pages treating “Tracking Order” and “Payment”, while the latter holds pages treating “Shipping & Delivery”, “Return & Exchange”, and “Order Cancellation”.
However, if the self-help resources do not do it for you, you can directly contact a Customer Care Rep of Noracora via email. You can do this by submitting a ticket using the online contact form in the “Contact Us” page of the website, or by sending an email directly from your inbox using the email address: service@noracora.com.
Like almost every other online fashion store, Noracora promises fast response time to email submissions. However, it is still disappointing that it does not support any instant-feedback support channel (such as telephone service or Live Chat).
Noracora Complaints
Customers will always have complaints, right? No matter how well a company operates, there’ll be customers who’ll have complaints. Thus, complaints can give a good insight into how well a company operates. Too many complaints could mean that all is not well, and very few complaints could mean that things are probably well.
That said, for this complaint section, we checked the top independent customers’ reviews platforms such as Trustpilot (www.trustpilot.com) and Sitejabber (www.sitejabber.com). Unfortunately, Noracora is not highly rated on these platforms. For example, at the time of writing this review, in Trustpilot, Noracora had been reviewed by 1,397 customers, and it scored 1.5 out of 5; and in Sitejabber, it had been reviewed by 1,180 customers, and it scored 1.9 out of 5.
Many complaints accounted for the poor ratings. In fact, many persons were of the opinion that any positive reviews found of Noracora were probably written by the staff of the company; and in Trustpilot, it was stated that the customized software of the platform discovered a large number of fake reviews on the domain. The many complaints of customers included the following: refusal to cancel orders, poor quality, difficulty with returns, and more.
Refuse to Cancel Orders
Some customers reported that they did all they could to cancel their order immediately but Noracora refused. For example:
- Deborah in Sitejabber says “Noracora is a SCAM” The review continued “…refused to cancel my order immediately it was placed… Many, many requests from me to cancel the order BEFORE IT SHIPPED, they refused. If you see a good review of Noracora, it is FAKE”
- Tammy B in Sitejabber says “Overseas scam from China” The review continued “…I ordered, read a review online and immediately cancelled my order. I also emailed to confirm that I wanted to cancel the order; two weeks later I had heard nothing and could not reach the company. Finally, 6 weeks later some items shipped…”
It should be remembered that Noracora promises that orders can be cancelled anytime before the package ships (albeit orders being cancelled after 24 hours from the placement will attract a 15% cancellation fee). This looks like a good order cancellation policy. However, policies mean nothing if they are not honoured; and with some customers reporting that they were refused cancellation (even immediately after placement), then there is reason to worry.
Poor Quality
The complaint about Noracora that is most popular is that many times customers receive their order and find it overwhelmingly unsatisfactory. For example:
- Lella L in Sitejabber says “Pathetic Company” The review continued “How dare you Noracora make me wait 2 entire months to get this crap? How dare you disrespect your customers so much? One rating star is too much for you!! I ordered a beautiful shirt and got crap. No embroidery, no strings on the V neck, the fabric of the sleeves and front is not fabric, is plastic. It is so stiff it is unwearable. The size is way too small. You are a pathetic cheat. How dare you? If you do business like is a joke then I do the review like is funny. Enjoy it”
- Shelley J in Sitejabber says “Complete scam rip off – poor-quality children sizes” The review continued “Where is the NEGATIVE star option for this review? The good reviews for Noracora are in all likelihood written by the staff themselves. The photography on the site is great and a fabrication. The item descriptions and sizes have no bearing on reality. ‘Linen’ is really extremely thin cotton. Size 3xl is actually a size medium in US sizes…”
- Karla L in Sitejabber says “Poor Quality Products with pictures of high quality on website” The review continued “Scarves & Shawls are made from tee-shirt material with sewn edges when the pictures show knitted construction. Colours are printed on, not woven, and are not colourfast so they would ruin anything they come in contact with. All of the products I ordered have a very strong chemical smell. Lesson learned. Even though they are inexpensive, you don’t get what you pay for. Pictures from the website on the left and what was received (4 – 6 weeks later) on the right”
- Molly Porcher in Trustpilot says “Worst company ever” The review continued “I ordered multiple items from the website and every single thing in that order is wrong. Not only wrong but not at all what was pictured. Instead of a sweater, a cheap shirt with a sweater print on it. Instead of patterned socks, I received a bunch of random socks, cheaply made, with no patterns on them. Instead of knitted mittens, cheap printed fabric that looks more like oven mitts…”
- Otilia Tiutin in Trustpilot says “Awful quality” The review continued “I have had the worst experience, this company uses fake advertising. The items I received looked nothing like the picture. The material, look, feel is nothing close to the picture… I ended up donating the clothes because they were awful. Companies like these should not be allowed to stay in business…”
- Eileen M in Sitejabber says “Fraud Misrepresentation – products are not what is pictured” The reviewed continued “Purchased a knitted green cardigan with a fair type of knit casual long sleeve cotton-blend sweater. What I received was a nonwoven material (think handi-wipe) bonded to a tricot type lining. This is not a knitted sweater. The nonwoven material was printed. See photos attached”
As can be seen from the customers’ reviews, the “poor quality” complaints take a different form. First, many customers say that the items delivered were nothing like the product images that informed their buy decision. Looking at these; it was shockingly alarming. Some who ordered “knitted” clothing, got clothing with knit printed on them. There is definitely no way of explaining this away.
Another form of “poor quality” complaints is that items are very often found to be made of poor quality materials or poorly made. It was also shocking investigating this; many products that customers bought as linen turned out to be anything but.
Another form of “poor quality” complaints is that the store does not run true to size. Like is popular with China-based stores, many customers say their items were significantly small.
It should be said that there are just many of these complaints; as such poor quality comes out as a problem plaguing Noracora. This means that if you choose to order from Noracora, there is a really big chance that your item will have quality failings.
Difficulty with Returns and Refunds
With so many poor quality complaints, it’s not surprising that Noracora does get a ton of return requests. However, the customers’ reviews show that customers hardly get the easy returns and refunds that Noracora promises. For example:
- Molly Porcher in Trustpilot continued “…since the website makes it so hard to return anything, I have come to the conclusion that the company is fraudulent…”
- Nancy Scheider in Trustpilot says “I returned my order 9/28/2019 and still have not received my credit [12/24/2019]. The clothes were poor quality and the sizes run extra small. NEVER order from this company”
- Otilia Tiutin in Trustpilot continued “…Then if you want to return you have to pay huge shipping fees to China which are more than what you paid for the product…”
- Lisa M in Sitejabber says “I ordered some clothing for almost $100. One item was $29.99 and did not fit. The return department offered me $4.50 to keep the item. I said no. Then they offered me $6.00. I refused. I later found out it costs between $24 – $50 to return an item to China. Just be EXTREMELY sure when you order online it’s NOT a Chinese [company] if you may need to return. That’s my view anyway”
- Michelle D in Sitejabber says “After a battle with Noracora trying to do returns/ refunds (damage and ill-fitting merchandise) I have been unsuccessful – they ripped me off…”
- Suzanne K in Sitejabber says “Buy only if you are willing to take anything they send you – false return policy” The review added “…if you return it you pay the cost of returning it to China plus import customers – cost more than the final cost of the coat. This was their error and the most they will do is a 25% of the price you paid – BEWARE”
- Christina in Sitejabber says “… when I want to return [my order] they say I have to pay all these charges or they’ll give me 15% back. WTF!! These people are getting away with stealing people’s money; they should be stopped…”
As the customer reviews show, this issue of “difficulty with return/ refunds” takes different forms. First, is that getting “return authorization” from Noracora is not as easy as the company makes it sound. Many times the Company does not reply return request; and when it finally does, it will try to talk the customer into keeping the unwanted item (first, offering a 15% credits towards the next purchase, the upping the offer if rejected).
Another form of this problem of “difficulty with returns/ refunds” is that the return shipping address is in China. In most “return” cases, the item is clearly poorly made, but the customers still have to bear return shipping cost; with the return address in China, return shipping costs are usually very high, sometimes even more than the cost of the item itself.
Also, many times, the item being returned was delivered from the company’s facility in the US, but it still requires it to ship it back to its China facility. In such instances especially, it comes out as though Noracora is using the “high cost of shipping return packages to China” as a weapon to force customers against returns. That said; if you decide to order from Noracora, know that if you have to return any item in your order, you’ll be paying return shipping to China.
Lastly, another form of the “difficulty with return/ refunds” complaint is that even after shipping the return package to China, getting refunded does not come easy.
It should be said that it is these problems with return/ refunds that make many persons label Noracora a scam in the different online platforms. For example, even though the quality of the items a store delivers to you is overwhelmingly unsatisfactory, if you can easily process returns and get a full refund of your payment, you won’t be moved to label the store a scam. On the other hand, if you receive “worthless” items that you cannot wear (and will even feel ashamed to give away), yet you cannot return the items to the store and get refunded, because you’re out of pocket, you’ll have no qualms with labelling the store a scam.
However, in our opinion, Noracora is not a scam store; but while it is a legit fashion store, it is fraught with huge problems that need fixing.
Conclusion
Noracora is an online fashion destination founded in 2016. Though it operates a facility in the US, it is a China-based company, so the bulk of its items ships from China. Noracora says its goal is to provide a range of high-quality products at down to earth prices.
It focuses on women’s wear and does provide a range of products for the womenfolk. You’ll find dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes, bags, and accessories. Also, Noracora does offer down-to-earth prices (think of the $12 dress, the $5 Tops, and more).
In terms of service, Noracora ships worldwide, so you can buy from the store from virtually every part of the world. Also, free shipping is offered (for orders over $89); and where free shipping does not apply, shipping costs are relatively fine.
However, that is as far as the positives get. Noracora is not known for fast delivery, so you may have to wait longer than expected for your order to arrive. Also, many times, the quality of Noracora’s products is largely subpar (even shocking). So you order may arrive, and what’s in the package may cause all the joy of expectations to evaporate. Worst still, returning a Noracora order and getting refunded is, putting it mildly, “not easy”.
To the question of whether you should buy from Noracora; with what we saw in this review, you may (buy from Noracora) if your main concern is rock bottom prices, and you’re ready to accept whatever is delivered to you. That said; you can visit Noracora here: www.noracora.com.

I ordered A lot of items and never got them and you took out 30.00 dollars from my debit card pls let me know what happened cause I really wanted the items I ordered pls return my money and get back to me
You cannot return or exchange anything unless you want to send it back to China which is hundereds of dollars. They say they will give you money in a wallet app but that only applies to purchasing more items from them. They do have some nice things but definately not worth it if it doesn't fit or the material isn't what was ordered. STEER CLEAR!!!!
I bought several items at different times. Sizing is not right and when I tried to return an item, I could not get any authorisation, even any responses to 5 emails I sent to them.
I believe that you have to be prepared to take what you get from this company, they have no ethical morals about returning or repaying you for an item that doesn't fit or you don't want. Stay away is my advice!
Clothing was all too large !! Returns not allowed. !! Ive bought a lot here but never again !! Lost what I paid for last 4 items. Received 2 of same item !! NEVER AGAIN !!
NEVER EVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!! Items not as viewed, extremely poor quality, sizing is wrong and inconsistent and their return policy and the fees for returns are insane! Rating is not even on the positive side of the scale!!!!!!!
After ordering and finally receiving an item, it was not the quality as expected and ran several sizes smaller. The first offered 15% for me to keep it then offered a higher amount. It still didn't even cover half of what I paid. Then upon going to the post office the lady informed me that a lot of customers send back things to there and even with a tracking # it is a lengthy process and most times they say still they never received the item. Not to mention it cost more to send back that was paid for the item. Never Trust this company unless you want to through your money away!!!
Do not bother ordering from this company located in China. I ordered 7 shirts, 2 were torn at the neckline seam. When I tried to exchange I was given a run around for 2 wks. I was offered 25% off which I rejected. I sent pictures of the damage tool. Eventually they claimed the rip was part of the design! Not a word of exchange. Of course this delaying tactic was so I could not ultimately return them due to their severe window of return. The rest of the shirts were cheaply made and the long sleeve shirt went nearly to my knees and I am not short. Sizing was strange also. The company will not, I believe, give you your money back. They will email you back & forth until your window of return is passed. And, you have to pay to send back to China. They would not even pay for the damaged tops to be returned. The company is a fraud and you are a fool if you order. You will regret it. I lost over $100 trying to return shirts, only to find they are not interested in returning your money or exchanging the merchandise.
Please DON'T order from this company!!! I placed an order with them, and what was pictured did match the expectations. If you want to be mislead or want a poor screenprint of what you see or non flowing dresses or cheap fabric, then this is the place for you. The size doesn't match either according to measurements. They say that returns are simple, but by the time you ship it back to China, yes I wrote China (because that's where the returns go), you've lost 75% of what you've paid! They've won on the scam and they know it. But, I shipped my order back...still waiting on my return refund. It's a matter of principal. It's also a matter of getting the word out. DON'T order from this company! I'll take my chances with Amazon or a great sale at a box store. At least returns are free and shipping won't cost $80+ dollars. Noracora, my order number if you're wondering was #HBPT00672830.
Also, please don't give this company such fair feedback. It's misleading to a wanting to be duped customer.
Do not order from Noracora. This site is less than honorable. The items are bizarrely patterned and poorly made. The return policy involves roadblocks, negotiations and veiled threats while ignoring your requests or questions. It felt like a hostage situation with my credit card as hostage. E-mails are polite but this is a business model designed to defraud and the daily e-mails are exhausting. DON'T ORDER HERE. You can just give your money away and use it better.
This company is a scam. The clothing is nothing but cheap reproductions of clothing that in no way resemble the ads (with photos stolen from reputable sites). Do not buy this stuff unless you like cheap reproductions that won't fit you and will not look good on anyone (even if you are a model). It's just that bad.
