Wrenoin Reviews: The 8,561-Review Badge vs 1,320 Real Trustpilot Ratings

By Thomas Orsolya10 min read

Wrenoin reviews tell two different stories. Its product pages show a Trustpilot-style badge with 8,561 reviews and 4.7 stars, while Trustpilot lists 1,320 reviews and a 2.4 score.

Here’s what buyers actually report, how the site’s own reviews are built, and what has changed at Wrenoin since our earlier reports.

Overview

What Wrenoin sells now

Wrenoin.com sells Viking, Celtic and Nordic-themed sweaters, hoodies, leggings and shirts, plus hippie and floral styles. Product pages show prices cut by more than 60%, such as $48.99 against $131.73.

Both sweater pages list 60% wool and 40% cotton, DHL or UPS delivery in two to three business days, and a free 30-day exchange.

What Wrenoin reviews really say

On Trustpilot, 860 of 1,320 ratings are one star. Common complaints are synthetic fabric, printed designs instead of knitted or embroidered ones, late delivery and missing refunds.

Is Wrenoin legit?

Wrenoin ships real clothing, but its reviews, materials and history are presented in ways its own pages and buyers contradict. The key points:

  • The 8,561-review badge is custom code on the store’s own pages, not a Trustpilot widget.
  • The store’s own review section holds no reviews, and the page code hides it from shoppers.
  • The About page claims Wrenoin began in 1986, but the domain was registered in February 2025.
  • Recent one-star reviewers describe polyester or synthetic tops sold as wool or linen.
  • Returns go to an overseas warehouse at the buyer’s cost.

Wrenoin Reviews on Trustpilot

Trustpilot shows an unclaimed Wrenoin profile with 1,320 reviews and a TrustScore of 2.4.

Of those ratings, 860 are one star, 12 two stars, 16 three stars, 86 four stars and 346 five stars.

That leaves only 432 ratings at four or five stars. Because the profile is unclaimed, none of the complaints has a reply from the store.

Trustpilot profile for Wrenoin marked Unclaimed profile with 1,320 reviews, a 2.4 TrustScore, rating bars led by 1-star and a note saying the company has no history of asking for reviews

The profile also says Wrenoin has no history of asking customers for reviews. Trustpilot adds that it doesn’t fact-check reviews, so the numbers show volume and tone rather than proof.

Advertisements

The reviews come from many countries. Of the reviews shown in all languages, 965 are in English, 117 in German, 64 in French and 31 each in Spanish and Italian.

Most landed over the winter. Trustpilot counts 1,163 reviews from the last 12 months, but only 236 from the last six months and 27 from the last 30 days.

That peak overlaps the winter months when the homepage banner switched to Viking knitwear, in January 2026.

The recent mix is kinder than the total. Of the 27 reviews from the last 30 days, 15 give five stars and 8 give one star.

The next sections show why that recent five-star share says less about the clothes than it seems.

Trustpilot’s own AI summary, based on 869 reviews, says customers often found the products looked nothing like the photos and were made of cheap synthetic fabric.

Advertisements

What One-Star Reviewers Report

The 20 newest English-language one-star reviews give a clear picture. Ten say the item didn’t match the photos or listing, and six describe late delivery.

Four say the design arrived printed on cheap fabric, two of them after it was shown as embroidered or embossed.

Three say the fabric was polyester, synthetic or had no wool at all.

One UK buyer says they found the store through an ad on The New York Times and were still waiting for the shirts well past the promised shipping time.

One UK buyer who ordered what looked like a Norwegian sweater says a thin polyester top arrived instead.

Another says the shirts couldn’t have been handmade in a small American town, as the store’s story claims, and carried no fabric label.

A two-star reviewer from September 2026 was told to keep a shirt that didn’t fit, since returning it to China would take at least a month at their cost.

Refund complaints repeat too. One buyer says they have been waiting 10 weeks for a refund, and another says the store offered partial refunds and coupons, then stopped replying.

A US buyer paid $20 extra for guaranteed three-day shipping on a Halloween order, which arrived three weeks later.

The $20 refund that buyer requested by email still hadn’t come through by August 2026.

Advertisements

Why Many Five-Star Reviews Come Before Delivery

The five-star reviews read differently. Of the 20 newest Trustpilot reviews, 12 give five stars, and most praise the website, the selection or how easy ordering was.

At least five of those 12 say the buyer is still waiting for the item, with lines like anxious to see the product or looking forward to receiving it.

Two of those five-star reviewers also say they couldn’t find a size chart. A review written at checkout says nothing about fabric, fit or delivery.

When you read Wrenoin reviews, check whether a positive review mentions the garment itself. Reviews written after delivery are the ones that tell you what arrives.

The Reviews on Wrenoin’s Own Site

The badge on Wrenoin’s product pages shows the Trustpilot name and star style next to Reviews 8,561 and a 4.7 rating.

Advertisements

Two different sweater pages show exactly the same numbers.

The page code labels that element a custom Trustpilot-style rating. It isn’t loaded from Trustpilot, and its numbers don’t match the real profile’s 1,320 reviews and 2.4 score.

Advertisements

Further down, the store’s built-in review section holds zero reviews. The page code hides that section, so shoppers never see its No reviews yet message.

The site also has a Review page titled Reviews From Our Customers. It contains no written reviews, only a grid of photos under the heading Pictures From Our Costumer.

None of those photos carries a name, date, rating or product link. The page opens with rustic shop interiors, though Wrenoin lists no physical store.

Advertisements

So the site’s own review signals come down to a hard-coded badge, an empty review widget and unlabeled photos. Trustpilot is the only place with dated, named buyer reviews.

What a Wrenoin Product Page Promises

A typical sweater page packs in several promises. The men’s Celtic knot hooded sweater lists $48.99 against a crossed-out $131.73, a 63% discount.

Quantity offers add 10% off for three items, 12% for five and 15% for ten. Sizes run from S to 5XL in seven colors.

A shipping box shows an estimated delivery just one to two days after the order date, beside DHL or UPS shipping in two to three business days.

The store’s own shipping page allows one to two days of processing plus three to five days of shipping, which doesn’t match the product page.

Advertisements

A November 2026 reviewer says an order promised in three to four days still hadn’t arrived after seven, with no update from the store.

The page does include a Size Guide link. The same two-star reviewer says two shirts ordered in the same size fit very differently.

What’s Changed Since Our Earlier Wrenoin Reports

Our July 2025 Wrenoin report described the store’s ad-driven model, fake order confirmations and refusals to refund when it sold a broad mix of themed clothing.

Our January 2026 Wrenoin report covered buyer complaints about slow delivery, small partial refunds and returns to China. Here’s what the archive shows since then.

  • February 2025: wrenoin.com is registered through Alibaba Cloud’s HiChina registrar, and its first archived homepage already lists a Vikings collection.
  • October 2025: the About page tells a women’s fashion founder story, and archived Halloween collection links carry Google Ads tracking tags.
  • January 2026: the homepage switches to handcrafted Viking style to conquer winter.
  • March to July 2026: archived pages list hundreds of themed products, from Canadian hockey to Texas and linen shirts.
  • August 2026: a Trustpilot reviewer cites the store’s story about clothes handmade in a small American town.
  • November 2026: the About page reads Wrenoin Since 1986, and product pages carry the 8,561-review badge.
Wrenoin About Us page headed Wrenoin Since 1986 with the line Born in a remote American town. Built by calloused hands and a story about women hand-knitting the first sweaters

Four archived product pages from October 2025 to July 2026 show no Trustpilot-style badge.

Advertisements
Advertisements

The 1986 story doesn’t appear on the archived October 2025 About page or on the April 2026 Our Story page.

That Our Story page is still live and tells a different origin: a founder who started Wrenoin Photography in 1995, selling photo keepsakes and magnets.

The October 2025 About page described a founder who struggled to find clothes balancing comfort, style and individuality. It mentioned no year, no town and no hand-knitting.

The product range shifted with the seasons as well, from Halloween costumes in October 2025 to embroidered Christmas sweaters in January 2026 and hippie and linen collections in 2026.

Who Is Behind Wrenoin?

Wrenoin names no company anywhere on its site. What’s left are technical records and the wording of its own policies.

Advertisements

No company name or address

The Contact Us page lists only service@wrenoin.com and says replies take 12 to 36 hours, with no support on weekends. There’s no phone number, street address or business registration.

The Our Story page is signed only by Ashley, Founder and CEO, with no surname or company name.

Advertisements

The terms of service say the site is operated by wrenoin and governed by the laws of the UK, which sits oddly beside an American small-town origin story.

A Chinese registrar and store platform

The domain was registered on February 26, 2025, through Alibaba Cloud Computing, trading as HiChina, and uses HiChina name servers. The shop itself runs on Shoplazza, a store-building platform.

Advertisements

That doesn’t fit a brand that says it has knitted sweaters in a remote American town since 1986.

A return policy that doesn’t fit the store

The return page mentions printerless USPS QR codes, in-store returns at Wrenoin retail locations, swimwear hygiene seals and beauty tools. Wrenoin sells clothing online and lists no stores.

It also gives conflicting windows: contact within 14 days of delivery, returns within 30 days, and a free 30-day exchange on product pages.

Canceling an order that hasn’t shipped costs additional processing fees, and shipped orders can’t be canceled.

Advertisements

Returns at the buyer’s cost

The policy says you pay return shipping and refunds exclude original postage. It warns against sending items to the address on the parcel, without giving a return address.

Advertisements

One reviewer was told a return to China would take a month at their own expense. That postage can eat up much of a $40 to $50 sweater’s price.

How to Read Store Reviews Before You Buy

Wrenoin is a useful example of why a review badge on a store page proves nothing on its own. A few checks take a minute.

  • Open the store’s Trustpilot page yourself instead of trusting a badge on the product page.
  • Compare the review count and score on the badge with the real profile.
  • Read the newest one-star reviews and note what keeps repeating.
  • Skip five-star reviews that only praise ordering, and look for ones written after delivery.
  • Compare a brand’s founding story with its domain registration date.
  • Check whether the store’s own review section actually contains any reviews.
  • Look for a company name and street address on the contact and policy pages.

Our report on Viking knit sweater stores shows the same pattern of Nordic-style knitwear photos and low prices across other shops.

What to Do If You Ordered From Wrenoin

  1. Save your evidence.

    Screenshot the product page, including the material label, delivery promise and price, plus your order confirmation and every email.

  2. Keep the item unworn.

    Leave tags on and don’t wash it. The return policy refuses items that show any sign of wear.

  3. Write to support within 14 days of delivery.

    Email service@wrenoin.com with photos of the item and its label, and ask for a refund for an item not as described.

  4. Don’t ship anything without written instructions.

    Get a return address and confirmation in writing first. The policy warns that the address on the parcel may be wrong.

  5. Think twice about a partial refund.

    Accepting a small partial refund can weaken a later card dispute. Decide before you reply.

  6. Dispute the charge with your card issuer.

    Ask for an item-not-as-described or non-delivery dispute. Issuers often allow about 120 days, so orders from July 2026 onward may still qualify.

  7. Use PayPal’s process if you paid that way.

    PayPal disputes must be opened within 180 days of payment, so that window has passed for 2025 orders.

  8. UK buyers can use Section 75.

    If a single item cost more than £100 and you paid by credit card, ask your card provider about a Section 75 claim.

  9. Report the store.

    US buyers can report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Ignore anyone who offers to recover your money for a fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Wrenoin reviews real?

The Trustpilot reviews are written by named users with dates, though Trustpilot doesn’t verify them. The 8,561-review badge on Wrenoin’s own pages isn’t connected to Trustpilot.

Advertisements

Why does Wrenoin show 8,561 reviews?

That number is part of a custom badge in the store’s code. It shows the same 4.7 rating on different products, while the real profile has 1,320 reviews.

Is Wrenoin an American company?

Nothing on the site names a company or US address. The domain was registered through a Chinese registrar in 2025, and one buyer was told returns go to China.

Are Wrenoin sweaters really wool?

Product pages say 60% wool and 40% cotton. Three of the 20 newest one-star reviewers say what arrived was polyester, synthetic or had no wool.

How long does Wrenoin shipping take?

The shipping page promises one to two days of processing and three to five days of shipping. Reviewers describe waits of two to three weeks or longer.

Can I return Wrenoin clothes?

Only by contacting support first, usually within 14 days of delivery, and paying the return postage yourself. Reviewers say returns are slow, and one was offered only partial refunds.

The Bottom Line

Don’t buy from Wrenoin. Its 8,561-review badge isn’t Trustpilot data, its 1986 history isn’t on its 2025 About page, and most Trustpilot ratings are one star.

If you already ordered, save your evidence, ask support for a refund in writing within 14 days and open a card or PayPal dispute if the item isn’t as described.

The Wrenoin reviews worth trusting are the dated ones on Trustpilot, and most of them describe clothes that don’t match the photos.

    My experience was not with this company but it was the same set up with beautiful photos and low prices. Of course the item received looked very similar but was terrible quality. I didn’t bother with the return – my purchase was under $40. I told my bank and they took it off my card and the company got a charge back. Once I understood the scam, I’ve never been tempted again.

      Hi, thank you for sharing this. That is exactly the pattern: attractive product photos, a low price, and then a poor-quality item that is not worth returning. It is good that your bank helped with the chargeback.

      So correct I was scam twice.
      all four items. i will keep one and give the other three away.
      There knock offs.
      Who knows if these items were ever made ever anywhere.
      They need to be stopped and stay within their boundaries,
      forced to only sell in the country they’re for the lies fit the process. Sad when people can’t just make something from scratch correctly and sell for what it’s worth correctly. Nope must lie cheat over the dollar for personal growth, all for what.
