White Lily of the Incas Blouse
I saw this beautiful white blouse in the NOVICA sales catalog; it appeared to have very much detail from the picture.
Upon receipt I saw the meticulous detail of the blouse. It is really beautiful to behold.

Did Not Deliver in Time
Guaranteed delivery before Christmas was false promise. Then instead of actual refund they offered $15 store credit which is useless since I won't use them again.

Hi Melissa,
We are truly sorry for your experience and understand how disappointing it is when an order intended for a holiday gift does not arrive as planned.
While we had every intention of delivering your order before Christmas, there were unforeseen international shipping delays from Peru that were unfortunately outside of our control. Your order was ultimately delivered on December 26, 2025.
Because it did not arrive before the holiday as intended, we proactively refunded your shipping charges on December 24 and also issued store credit as an apology for missing the delivery window. That said, our goal is always customer satisfaction. If you would prefer not to keep the item, you are absolutely welcome to return it for a full refund.
We appreciate your feedback and regret that this experience did not meet your expectations.
Regards,
Robbie P.
Customer Service is non-existent
Customer Service is non-existent. I had an issue with a gift I purchased not being delivered timely. The CS rep told me to contact the post office. I explained that this was their job and would you please escalate to a manager - and nothing was done. They just didn't care. In summary, if you order from them, you might get it and you might not. I never will again.

Hi Mark,
We're sorry this experience was disappointing.
Our team was in regular communication with you throughout this situation, and your order was actively monitored while it was in transit. The delay you experienced was caused by a USPS misrouting during the peak holiday season, and while that is understandably frustrating, the package was ultimately delivered on 12/29.
Regarding escalation: your request coincided with the Christmas holiday period, which resulted in a delayed management response. That gap was not due to indifference, but timing during a scheduled closure. Once management was available, we did respond directly and offered solutions, including refunds and return options.
We recognize that delays are disappointing and we regret this experience did not meet your expectations. Your feedback has been shared internally as part of our ongoing efforts to improve communication during high-volume holiday periods.
Regards,
Robbie P.
NOVICA Is My Go To Gift Site
I buy almost all my gift items from NOVICA, and have for over 15 years. I have always been absolutely delighted with the pieces, the packaging, and the shipping. I especially love the sterling silver jewelry from all of the regions. One of my latest gifts for a best friend was a jewelry roll from India with earrings from Bali. I also have tableware, furniture, and decor items which are unique and beautiful. Novica is simply the best.

I have been shopping with NOVICA for…
I have been shopping with NOVICA for years. I have been very pleased with most of my items. They are always packed well and come with a sweet note from the artist. I love giving items as gifts as well. Sometimes, there could be a small delay with shipping since they come from all over the world, but they have always found a solution. I appreciate a company that takes responsibility for shipping.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a loyal NOVICA shopper for so many years!

We truly appreciate your understanding when shipping takes a bit longer and we are always committed to finding a solution. Your support means the world to our artisans and our team!
Completely Disgraceful Experience – No Accountability or Support
My first way of communication with Novica was via e-mail on August 25th, after the first failed delivery attempt by UPS, when they tried to collect Charges on Delivery, including HST. That’s when I realized my shipment had not been processed as a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) order, even though that was the delivery method and purchase terms I agreed to at checkout, and Novica had already collected HST from me.
Since then, the situation has only gone downhill. They have done absolutely nothing to resolve the issue, and now they are even ghosting me. Rebecca stopped responding to my e-mails on August 27th, so I called today (August 29th). The agent told me a manager would call me back within half an hour, as my case was something only a manager could handle. That call never came. When I tried again, I was immediately hung up on — twice — without even a hello. I also reached out via Facebook Messenger, and again, no response whatsoever.
Mind you, I have been nothing but respectful and as tolerant as I can be, while watching UPS continue to make delivery attempts throughout the week because the option to hold the package at my local branch was not available for my shipment. As a result, my fragile ceramic packages continued to circulate unnecessarily. Today, UPS finally registered their attempt as the final attempt, and the next step indicated in the system is Return to Sender.
Yet, I have not received a single update from Novica as to what they are doing with UPS to ensure I receive my already-paid items under the terms agreed at checkout. From my perspective, the lack of action so far seems to suggest Novica actually wants my items returned to them. Perhaps having the items returned is less expensive than fixing the mistake they likely made (i.e., paying the fees due to UPS so I can receive my purchases). If UPS were truly the one at fault, I suspect this would have already been resolved and Novica would not be ghosting me.
This is stressful, completely avoidable, and unacceptable. At this point, Novica’s silence makes it feel like they are simply waiting for my packages to be returned rather than honoring our purchase agreement and resolving the matter. Customers deserve far better communication and accountability. Obviously, I do not recommend buying from Novica. Perhaps the items they sell are beautiful (I wouldn’t know!), but if things go wrong, this is the kind of lack of accountability and support you can expect from this company. Completely disgraceful.

Dear Diana,
We are so sorry for the stress and frustration this caused. Unfortunately, your order was mistakenly handled by UPS as “Charges on Delivery” even though your purchase was placed as DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). We corrected the issue and paid the tax bill on August 29th to ensure your package could move forward, and we’ve been working directly with the carrier to understand how this happened so it does not occur again.
Regarding communication, our colleague Rebecca was out of the office briefly at the time, but she did respond as soon as she returned and continued to follow up with you until the matter was resolved. We understand how the delays and shifting UPS updates created confusion, and we regret that this left you feeling unsupported.
We’re happy to know that your order was securely delivered on September 4th and that everything arrived safely. Thank you for your patience throughout this process, and for giving us the chance to make this right.
Best Regards,
Robbie P.
Don't expect much
I have purchased from Novica twice. The first purchase - two scarves - was shipped within a reasonable period of time. The scarves were low quality, probably not silk (as advertised), and neither of them held up for more than a few wearings - which is very unusual for scarves, as they don't get hard use.
But I like the idea of helping indigenous people who are trying to earn a living, so I made another purchase. That purchase was an alpaca poncho that was shipped from a US location. It took two weeks to arrive. The item is nice enough - okay, but nothing special - and I don't have high hopes that it will last much longer than those scarves.
In the final analysis, I think buying from Novica should be viewed as making a charitable donation (without the tax write-off) and getting a souvenir in return. But if you're looking for good quality handmade items, you're going to be disappointed.

Hello Peter,
We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the disappointment with your purchases.

Don't expect the courtesy of a return email or call
I sent 4 emails and left a voicemail and never received a response. I bought a carved box from them off Amazon. The box was okay, decent looking but overpriced in my opinion as it was almost $200. it came with a little key. I lost the key when I moved and reached out to see if I could buy a replacement key off them and never heard back. Again, 4 emails! All received the below email confirmation.
Thank you for reaching out and being a part of our global community helping artisans around the world. Our goal is always to get back to you as quickly as possible with an answer to your question or a resolution to your concern.
Our current response time is typically within 2 business days.
Over the course of 6 weeks. I sent follow up emails and even called and left a voicemail. I never got any sort of response.
Shameful customer service to never respond after so many attempts. Avoid.
UPDATED TO 1 STAR. The person who responded said to email them yet again and claimed he would personally take care of my request.
Well, he didn't. No response... again.
Very disrespectful company.

Hi Eliza,
I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience and that your attempts to reach us went unanswered. That is not the level of service we strive to provide, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Please email me your order number directly at service@novica.com, and I will personally look into this matter for you. While we typically do not sell extra keys, I would be happy to reach out to the region where your box was crafted and see if the artisan has any available. I cannot guarantee a replacement, but I will do my best to assist you.
Again, I sincerely apologize for any frustration this has caused, and I appreciate the opportunity to make this right. I look forward to hearing from you.

Unique & Exceptional
Novica offers such unique items at great prices (I mainly buy sterling silver jewelry from Bali and felted wool ornaments from around the world). I have never been disappointed. I probably have 20-30 items and may be addicted to this site. If duplicate pictures show up on a discount site, they probably were stolen off Novica's site. You can definitely trust Novica.

Newsletter Spam ohne Ende
Ich habe dort einmal eingekauft, das lief alles gut und die bestellte Ware war ok. Jetzt werde ich aber seit Wochen ständig mit Emails von Novica zugespamt, obwohl ich gleich nach der ersten Email den Newsletter komplett abbestellt habe. Ich habe jetzt mehrmals versucht, alle Emails komplett abzubestellen, sei es über den "Unsuscribed" Button oder durch diverse Emails an den Novica Kundendienst. Dies scheint aber einfach nicht zu funktionieren bzw. irgendjemand dort zu interessieren. Ich bin einfach nur noch genervt.

Excellent communication/Superb Quality
There was excellent communication all thru the shipping process. I received regular updates on when I could expect to receive the 2 sweaters I ordered.
Also, the quality of the sweaters was superb. Attention was paid to every detail in the manufacture of each sweater. They are expensive, but I have a feeling that I'll have these sweaters for many years.

I want to recognize artist Wirabhuwana. I received a beautiful amethyst cocktail ring, Purple Elegance. I have many amethyst pieces (birthstone) but nothing like this.

Beautiful earrings and something I can feel good about.
I purchased earrings from Novica. They are even prettier than the picture on the Novica site. The quality is excellent. Using the links sent by Novica, I was able to track the package and know exactly when it would arrive. I liked that I didn't have to guess at the arrival or worry if it would arrive. I love that I was able to treat myself and help a talented artist in India.

Wonderful products and awesome customer service
Wonderful products and awesome customer service! They have beautiful clothing and jewlery; I've purchased many things for my wife from them. They also have incredibly helpful customer service. For example, I received two items of clothing for my wife and didn't get around to giving them to her for several months. They turned out to be too large (my fault) and I figured it was too late to exchange them. However, I called and they were incredibly helpful and worked with me to exchange them for the correct sizes. I will most definitely continue to shop with them.

Wonderful!
The Magic Portal sterling silver ring, by Eka Devi, Indonesia, is extraordinary. I fought with myself for a year over purchasing Magic Portal. I finally gave in. It was on back order---8 weeks--- but so worth the wait. The silverwork is delicate and lovely. The moonstone is clear and sparkling, the design is appealing. The overall effect is beautiful. I plan to enjoy this gorgeous piece for many years into the future. Thank you, Ms. Devi!

Are Novica items marked up items from Aliexpress?
My wife wanted some earrings from Novica that were $44. I happened to do a reverse search for them and found the exact some ones on Aliexpress for $2. I reverse searched another pair that were $80 on Novica and they were 99 cents on Aliexpress. They even used the same photos on both sites.
