I had ordered 4 solar hot air balloons…
I had ordered 4 solar hot air balloons on March 10, 2025 and paid $153.96 - 2 were hanging and 2 were on stakes. I had 4 options for choices and only wanted these because they had a vintage lantern that was really sharp looking in the picture which was glass. I have some of these lanterns bought locally but had never seen the vintage pattern so before ordering I had checked to make sure it was coming from the US and was shipping from California. They were delivered on March 18th and were in 2 tiny boxes. When I opened them they were all plastic and junk! They were not what I had chosen and were just dull striped lanterns smaller than the real ones you can buy. Nothing was put together. I had 7 emails going back and forth with noxiny.com which I don't know where this contact came from but they offered me 10%, 20%, 25%, 35% discounts and then I told them I had PayPal involved. Their last ditch effort was on April 9th and they offered me 90% discount $138.56 of which I took it and didn't have to return them but the return address they had given me in email March 21st was to Guangdong, China of which I jumped them asking why they would have to be returned to China when they came from California of which I got no reply. They said these items were their most popular and they assured me I would love them. NOT!!! Fight for your refunds and don't give up. This is nothing but a HUGE SCAM and I DID FILE WITH PAYPAL and did as they said and reached out to the customer first. I have learned to save my ordering invoice and pictures of everything I order because they are so deceptive on hiding where this junk is coming from. I am thankful that I went through PayPal so I had them for backup if needed but I did get it taken care of without their assistance. What is this world coming to? China just wants to cheat and send up junk with misrepresented pictures of the factual items and then you don't get what you order.
