Novaloro.com EXPOSED – Scam or Legit? Investigation

By Thomas Orsolya7 min read

Novaloro.com prices stylish clothes, home gadgets and gifts at a fraction of their usual cost, the kind of deal that stops your thumb mid-scroll.

On screen, the photos look fantastic. In the mail, it’s often a different story, and asking for your money back can take far more effort than ordering did.

Novaloro.com scam

Overview

A storefront for dropshipping, not a brand

Novaloro.com has no products of its own. It lists items from low-cost suppliers, as thousands of similar shops do, and the orders ship directly from warehouses in China.

A supplier you’ll never hear from packs and posts your order. The store itself never touches the products; it just sets prices, runs ads and collects payments.

Advertisements

Same templates, same product photos, same return policies: Novaloro.com is part of a scam network of near-identical stores that reopen under new names.

Expect very low quality, not what the ads show

Expect very low quality and an item that looks nothing like the ad. The photos are usually lifted from other sellers or brands, so they picture something you won’t get.

Why returning an order doesn’t pay off

A quick read of the refund policy can put you at ease. The specifics are another matter:

  • Returns head to China. In most cases, you’d have to mail the item back to China yourself, and the postage comes out of your pocket.
  • You can lose money returning. International postage for a $25 item can be more than the item cost you.
  • Full refunds are hard to get. A return request usually gets you an offer to keep the item for 15% to 30% back, instead of your money in full.
  • Answers come slowly. You’ll usually have nothing but an email address, and every reply can take days.

Put simply, Novaloro.com is a high-risk store. Do not buy there. The item will likely be worth far less than you paid, and returning it isn’t practical.

What We Found on Novaloro.com

Here’s what we noticed when we looked at Novaloro.com:

  • Novaloro.com was registered on July 5, 2025, about a year ago.
  • The MalwareTips URL scanner gives Novaloro.com a Safety Score of 24/100, rated High Risk (full report).

What Happens When You Order from Novaloro.com

Most orders follow a single, repeatable pattern. Catch it before you pay, and you can skip the loss and the weeks of email ping-pong.

Step 1: The ad’s price looks too low to be real

On Facebook, Instagram or TikTok, it usually looks like this: a short video or a polished photo, the product at a steep discount, and often a “limited time” tag.

Advertisements

Look closely and the same video often turns up in ads for dozens of other shops. They share suppliers, and they share marketing material too.

Advertisements

Step 2: A small operation that passes for a big store

Browse Novaloro.com and it feels like a real, established business. There are categories, star ratings and a warm About Us page. Often it’s just a template and a supplier list.

Don’t put much weight on the About Us page. Whether it describes a family business or a passionate founder, it’s usually boilerplate that appears on many unrelated stores.

Step 3: Your order takes its time arriving

The 5 to 7 days quoted can turn into three or four weeks. That’s because the parcel is shipped from China, and tracking updates can stop moving for days.

Advertisements

A single order sometimes turns into several small packages, each with its own tracking number. When one of them never arrives, showing what’s missing can be a struggle.

Step 4: The item looks different from the listing photos

After the wait, the package lands, and the item is a smaller, thinner or simpler version of what the ad showed, worth pocket change in other shops.

Clothing is the top complaint. Expect cheap fabric, stitches coming loose and sizes based on a chart that has no connection to the website’s size guide.

Step 5: A refund the postage eats up

The refund path runs through photos and a parcel to China. Pay for that postage and you can end up with the refund wiped out.

Usually, support counters with a partial refund: keep the item, get 15% to 30% back. Sounds fair, until you realize most of the price is gone on something unwanted.

The policy isn’t written this way by chance. It counts on buyers giving up right here, and many of them do.

Red Flags at Novaloro.com

Each warning sign below takes a minute to check. Run through them before paying, because they show Novaloro.com isn’t the bargain it pretends to be.

A price that’s out of line with the product

Here’s the catch with a $29 leather bag or $19 smartwatch: that money covers a much cheaper version than the one pictured. It’s not a lucky find.

You’ll also notice crossed-out “original” prices. These are rarely real, and they turn a plain, ordinary price into something that looks like a discount.

Pictures that appear on other sites too

Other stores, marketplaces and brand websites often use the very same pictures, and a reverse image search is how you find them.

Advertisements

If the photo belongs to a brand, that brand won’t be the one behind your product. If it comes from a marketplace, the same item is often cheaper there.

Advertisements

No traceable company details

There’s rarely a registered business name, tax number or local address on these stores. If your order goes sideways, figuring out who you actually paid is hard.

Help is limited to email

The help page usually lists an email address or a contact form, but no phone number or live chat. Problems that need speed can end up dragging on for weeks.

Don’t let the waiting use up your options. A bank or PayPal dispute has a deadline, and every slow reply chips away at it.

Fake deadlines and false scarcity

Genuine stock doesn’t look like this, and real deadlines don’t restart. Here, timers reset on reload and “only 2 left” covers every product, because the point is to hurry you.

Advertisements

Give yourself a break from the page. Close it, come back later, and see. If the “sale” hasn’t ended, it was never limited.

Advertisements

Unrequested extras in the final total

Shipping protection, priority handling, even a second item can already be ticked in your basket. Go through the total line by line before you pay.

The labels promise speed and security, but these add-ons rarely deliver either. They inflate the total for an order that may already be worth far less than you’ll pay.

The checkout switches to another company

When the store name disappears and an unrelated one shows up on the payment page, stop. That company, one you’ve never heard of, is the one collecting your card details.

A lookalike shop inside a scam network

If you’ve seen this About Us story before, that’s because dozens of shops use it, with the same policies and photos. Close one and a new name opens, same catalog.

How to Check an Online Store Before You Buy

A few minutes of checking can tell you whether an online shop is worth your money. Start with these questions before you pay:

  • Who is selling to you? Look for a company name, a registration or tax number and an address. A shop that names nobody is hard to hold to a promise.
  • Where do returns go? Find the return address in the refund policy. If it’s overseas or missing, assume a return will cost more than it’s worth.
  • How old is the website? Paste the address into the MalwareTips Website Scanner. It shows the domain’s age and any known warning signs in seconds.
  • Are the photos original? Run a reverse image search on a product photo. If the same picture appears on many sites, the item is a generic product.
  • What do buyers say elsewhere? Search the store on Trustpilot and in search results, not just the reviews on the shop itself.
  • Is the ad real footage? Many shop ads now use AI-generated videos and photos. If the product only ever appears in slick renders, expect something plainer.
  • Does the price make sense? Compare it with the same item on a major marketplace. A huge markdown on an unknown shop is a reason to slow down.
  • Can you reach a person? A phone number or live chat is a good sign. An email address alone means problems will take a long time to solve.

If several answers come back wrong, close the tab. There’s almost always a seller with a clearer return policy and a company you can actually look up.

Where to Buy Instead

Liked something on Novaloro.com? You don’t have to buy it there. Try these safer routes:

  • Try a big marketplace first. Search for the same product there. It’s often far cheaper, and you get buyer protection plus reviews from real people.
  • Check for a local return address. Low-cost postage is what makes a return worth using in the first place.
  • Scroll to the customer photos. Pictures from real buyers reveal what arrives, while the ad only shows what’s promised.
  • See where it ships from. Marketplaces list the seller’s location, so take a look. Stock from a local warehouse arrives faster, and sending it back is actually doable.
  • Stick to protected payment. Choose a credit card or PayPal, so a dispute is available if needed.

Your total may come out a little higher, but the package will hold what you ordered, and the seller will honor a refund if you need one.

What to Do If You Already Ordered from Novaloro.com

Ordering from a shop like this doesn’t mean the money is gone. Acting early gives you the best chance of fixing the order or getting a refund.

  1. Save everything. Keep the order confirmation, the tracking number, every email from the store and screenshots of the product page as it looked when you bought.
  2. Photograph what arrives. Take clear photos of the item, the label and the packaging, especially anything that doesn’t match the listing.
  3. Ask the store in writing. Email support, describe the problem plainly and say what you want: a full refund or a replacement. Give them a short deadline.
  4. Don’t pay for an overseas return yet. If the store asks you to ship the item to China, check with your card issuer or PayPal first.
  5. Don’t accept a token refund. Offers of 15% to 30% back to keep the item are common. If the item isn’t as described, a dispute may get you more.
  6. Open a dispute if the store stalls. Use “item not received” or “not as described” with your card issuer or PayPal, and attach your evidence.
  7. Watch the deadlines. Card disputes often allow around 120 days, and PayPal generally accepts claims within 180 days of payment. Don’t let weeks of unanswered emails use them up.
  8. Ignore “customs fee” texts. Fake delivery messages asking you to pay a fee or update your address often follow online orders. Don’t pay or click.
  9. Leave an honest review. A short review on an independent site, with photos, helps the next shopper decide.

If you paid by bank transfer, contact your bank right away and ask whether the payment can be recalled. The sooner you call, the better the odds.

If the store won’t cooperate, file a complaint at econsumer.gov, which handles cross-border shopping complaints, or at ReportFraud.ftc.gov in the US.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Novaloro.com a scam?

We rate Novaloro.com High Risk because it belongs to a scam network. Orders may ship, but they bring very low-quality items, and returns cost too much. Do not buy.

Where does Novaloro.com ship from?

In most cases, your order comes directly from a supplier in China. Delivery can take several weeks as a result, and tracking information often trickles in slowly.

Why does the product look so different from the photos?

Other sellers or brands usually took those photos, not the store. You receive a cheaper version of the item, produced to hit a low price.

Advertisements

Can I return an item to Novaloro.com?

You can usually return it only by paying to ship it to China. That can backfire on a cheap item, where postage can run higher than the refund.

Before paying for postage, contact your card issuer or PayPal and ask if a “not as described” dispute would protect you instead.

My order never arrived or isn’t as described. What now?

Write to the store before anything else. A refusal or runaround means it’s time for a dispute with your card issuer or PayPal, backed by item photos and listing screenshots.

Are the reviews on Novaloro.com real?

Take them with a grain of salt. On-site reviews are easy to fill with glowing ratings, so it’s better to hunt down buyer photos and comments on independent sites.

The Bottom Line

Novaloro.com is a high-risk store, and the lookalike shops around it form a scam network. The very low-quality items look nothing like the ads, and a return rarely makes sense.

Keep your money away from Novaloro.com. Do not buy there. If you still want something you saw, look it up on a marketplace that offers buyer protection.

Ordered already? Hold on to your confirmation email and listing screenshots. Photograph the package when it lands, and if the store won’t fix things, dispute through your card or PayPal.
