Latest 50 reviews on halalapalooza:

I was VERY pleased with the service, quality of merchandise, the shipping and easy payment! I would recommend Salsabil to anyone looking to make any purchase in Islamic Clothing. I loved the hijabs I ordered and will definately order from them again!!

I have had several happy transactions with this company. Their inventory continues to grow and they now offer items that I've only seen available from outside NorthAmerica. The quality of the clothing that I have purchased have all been very good. The Al'Hannah line of "roll-on" frangrant oils are a bargain that can't be beat. Their shipping and handling service has been swift and flawless and I can recommend them to anyone impatient with the international post.

I ordered a thobe for my husband and some Arabic sweets before Eid. I was impressed by Ahad-Ahad's customer service and fast shipping. The Syrian thobe was good quality for the price. They did not have the sweets in stock, but they did promptly refund my money.

As Salaam Alaikum,
Despite the beautiful photographs and enthusiastic testimonials on their website, ordering with Renuka Silks has been a nightmare! I ordered an abaya and sent my measurements and payment through their online system. They never received my size form, so I resent it via emails, online chats, online forms and voice mails. After three months of waiting, I canceled my order. Now despite written promises for a refund, I haven't yet received one. Even though many phone numbers are listed on the website, no one answers the phone. Shame on you, Renuka Silks, for your poor customer service!

assalaamu alaikum,
I'm the owner of Modest Clothing Directory. This is not one of those directories where half the links are dead. I update regularly. I take down about 40 stores a year and add about 100 each year.

This site has a great selection of hijabs, and some beautiful and unique al-amirahs. Very easy and pleasant to order from, and shipped out quickly as well.

Very good experience ordering from this site! Shipped out quickly, and I'm impressed with my hijab, sleeves and underscarves.

Has anybody heard or read anything about Vicky and her headwear heaven store since the site went out of work ? Does anybody know where or how I can contact her ?

This website really is a wonderful labor of love and I hope that it will grow to inspire sisters all over the world. :o)

I was very happy with the service from this online store. Mashallah. They were very quick to respond to emails and were very helpful and polite. I would order from them again.

I have ordered once from this site and loved my hijabs. Quality was great, beautiful selection and they shipped my order out very quickly. Would love to order again from this site, insha'Allah.

I have ordered from this site just recently and am extremely pleased with the products, selection, prices, and her customer service is excellent. The website is easy to navigate and I love that Paypal is accepted. Would love to order from her again, insha' Allah.

I've ordered from here quite a few times and have had good experience with each of my orders. I recommend this store to others. I like the large selection of scarves they have.

I have ordered from this store several times and everything arrived within only a few days, and the quality has always been great! They are also quick to respond to emails.

Really nice layout. I'd like to see what happens in the future for this company.

Very nice! I love modest Islamic clothing and the outfits are very nice that this sister puts together. Verry good.

Nice idea... some catchy badges slogans.

This website is not even active anymore.

The website has not been updated in a long time and I can't seem top purchase online.

There seems to be a lot of styles that are not available. Otherwise, it's cool. Mashallah.

I like seeing all the styles in one place. Mashallah.

YOU NEED TO HAVE PICTURES OF YOUR PRODUCTS

I bougt an ALLAH pendntwhich was described 'dimond effect' when I recived it . It had silver giltter that was'nt put in the right placese.so I returned it 3 weeks ago and I have'nt heard anything yet.

Asalam walikom, I donated last year for an Education project in Sri Lanka, and got report from them on the project after 4 months and I am really impressed with their work and commitment. May Allah bless them in abundance.

This is my favorite website. It offers the BEST customer service. I have ordered from this sister many times and have not been disappointed. The selection is endless and everything is beautiful and top quality. Your order comes within a few days and is lovingly wrapped and packed. The majority of my hijabs that receive compliments came from Veiled by Design.

I made a large order from them a few months ago and although it took a little longer than I expected the books arrived neatly and securely packed and sent by registered courier. Overall a great service.

I've had a good experience ordering from here. The polyester skirt I got from here around a year ago is still in use and still in good condition. The swatch sample service is also great.

I've had two good experiences with this website. I've ordered two niqaabs and the service has been efficient and friendly both times.

Salam, I love this site.. a close friend of mine alhamdulillah. Through this site Ive had many ideas, made many friends and many stitchings alhamdulillah

I got my order very quickly. Everything was even nicer than it seemed. I wish they had a little bit bigger selection.

This is not a shopping website. It's a commercial site with links.

Assalamu alaikum!

... just wanted to let you know that I am the owner of the DESERT BOUTIQUE.

We do our best to sell our things at the highest quality and the lowest prices possible. If there are ever any items that are not 100% we give a 100% refund always! We care about our quality and work hard to make sure that it is the best. I check everything personally, but things do get past sometimes unintentionally.

We do our best to give you your items on time, and sometimes this isn't possible because of items not available in the market. (That is because some of the items we offer are few of a kind, and when they are gone they are gone). Also, we are not in control of the US post, and we do state clearly on our site that things will take from 6 to 8 weeks, unless the person asks us to expedite their order, which we are also happy to try to do. This time is because we keep a very small staff, in order to keep down the prices.

We have a huge warehouse on our premises where we keep whatever we have on our site in order to fill orders as soon as possible.

Please note that this store is not the same as another store also in Kuwait that people have told us sells substandard items, so don't confuse us.

While no one is perfect, we try to do our best.

Try us! Mention that you read this comment on Halapalooza, and get a 10% discount on your order (as per our sale rules(see the site for details) :) (or 5% more on your order if we already are having a sale!)

I can't wait to hear from you all!

The artist, Adeela, does wonderful work!

I ordered an item, but did not receive a confirmation email, so I sent them several emails in the next few days to check if they'd actually received the order. If they'd responded that they hadn't received it, I would have simply placed the order again, but I didn't want to risk ordering it twice. There's no reason it should have taken longer than one or two business days to answer, but they never responded, and meanwhile, they are now sold out of my size. I will NEVER order from this store again.

Nothing to be confused about. Yes, they do sell a selection of pop-up cards of the California Missions. However, there are also many items not on the website currently - More Persian and Islamic buildings, Indian buildings, Islamic calligraphy cards, snowflakes, Buildings of Venice, etc. Custom work can be ordered as well. This company does business with University of Chicago, Harvard, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and many other private companies as well. Currently published is a commemorative book on the Arg-e Bam that was destroyed by earthquake in 2003. Coming in 2006, 2 volumes on the California Missions, Ancient Persia, and 2 volumes on historical and Islamic buildings in Isfahan, Iran. In the planning stages are books on historical structures from India, and Venice.

I have ordered again several weeks back and she still has not billed me for the items, let alone sent them. I even signed her guestbook to take advatange of her current special offer but by the time she bills me it may have expired! Another friend has recently had problems where they sent payment and it took six months for the sister to realise she had got it and send the items. Despite thinking I would not order again; I have done twice as they sell items you can't get elsewhere; with fairly good results so I thought the service had improved. The only problem I have is if she cannot get an item she makes substitutions and often the substitutions are poor; ie niqabs and scarves with embroidery when you wanted plain; too small kids al-ameerahs with lace when you ordered the plain adults ones; or she just never sends that item at all. My best friend ordered a good six months ago and asked for six pairs of the black cotton gloves; she kept saying she could not get hold of that many but she would eventually; however they have never been sent nor has my friend been refunded that money. I have been told by a sister very famililar with the company that what they do is put a photo of a generic item on the site; and actually go to buy the majority of the items from the bazaar when an order is placed; it explains the very low prices on some items but also the poor substitutions and variation in quality at times. I am still waiting for the bill for this order; if they didn't sell the Arabic kids books so cheap (even in Saudi they are more expensive than she sells them for) and rare items for the household and good niqabs I'd give this site a wide berth.

If you don't live in the UK, DO NOT order anything from The Hijab Shop. If you ever have to return an item you will be thoroughly frustrated. I tried to return something I ordered and they kept the product but did not refund my money. I have tried to contact them many, many times but all to no avail. You have been forewarned.

Products are really professional quality.

Beautiful high quality hijab collection. Great customer service and quick shipping.

Excellent selection and quality. I ordered an outfit for my wedding from them. There was an issue with my payment and their customer service was wonderful, very pleasant and helped to quickly resolve it. My salwar kameez came quickly and to specifications. The quality was excellent - finishing on the garment (which is the barometer of quality on sewn garments) was excellent - piping, lining, and closures were all excellent. When I have another big occasion to shop for (I'm not usually one to buy garments over $200) I will definitely consider them again.

I wish that I could say that my experience with them has been excellent. My complaints - customer service is sorely lacking. Every time I have needed to contact them I have had to wait a long time to receive any response and when it has come it has been very curt, bordering on rude. Example, they carry excellent cotton gauze hijabs - but were out of the color and style I wanted. I wrote to inquire as to when they would relist them and at the same time let them know that I thought the hijabs were wonderful. I didn't hear from them for several days and when I did the reply just said that they didn't have them now - no further information, no pleasant communication. There are other similar incidents with them I could cite. It is important to be courteous to customers. Also, while I have found the quality of the hijabs to be good I have found the garment quality to be low. Finishing on the garments is very poor (ex: stitching is very large - not what you expect to see on high-quality garments, hemming is poor, buttons and closures are low quality) - and they carry few garments in natural fibers - most are polyester or nylon.

Very nice hijabs, and also fantastic quality leggings and sleeves. I've ordered twice with good service and fast shipping.

I love their modest western style clothing. Excellent service, fast shipping. My only complaint (even though i understand) are the prices. But otherwise great merchant.

I have placed 5 or 6 orders from this website over the past several years, and every time the service has been fast and with no problems.

I have ordered from this company, and their customer service is slow and poor, and the order took about 5 weeks longer than they first said it would. When everything finally arrived, however, it was excellent quality and very well made.

One of the very best customer service departments I've encountered online. I love doing business with them.

They have many of the stuff I am looking for and are quick to ship. I typically get them in a few days.

I love their styles of hijab. They are reasonably priced and very very quick to ship. I ordered some hijabs on Friday & got them on Monday, and I live in the Midwest! Masha'allah!

I had purchased a bunch of jilbabs and hijabs from Al Hannah, delivery was speedy! I live in California and they are in Connecticut, my order arrived in only 10 days!!! Well when I got them they were so pretty!! I only buy Islamic clothes from Al Hannah! The hijabs were so soft and comfortable!! The seams may become loose if you do not follow the gentle wash instructions on the label.

I love this store, same as other sister states, too much peach skin. This is not the best fabric for abayas or khimars because it is heavy, not breathable, and slips around a lot.

Great selection. I have ordered from them, and my abayas come looking great, but dont last very long. Instead of cutting from longer fabric rolls (more expensive but willing to pay), they cut from shorter and piece the sleeves on. I have a belled sleeve garment that has seems at the elbows which is not very professional. But all other garments from them have been good.

Their items are always so wonderful mashallah when they have them in stock. Almost every time I have ordered from them, one or two items were out of stock from my order. They were always quick to contact me if anything came up. Other than items being sold out but still listed on the site, I have no other complaints.

The first time I ordered from alsundus I was pleased. The items arrived in the timely fashion, and the colors were as pictured. However the 2nd time I ordered it was almost a month when I realized that the order had not come. I emailed, they told me they would ship it. Now they are located not more than an hour from me, so when a week went by and my items did not come, I emailed again. Without a response in 24 hours, I called. I spoke with a sister and she said she would ship out. Most of what I ordered was out of stock and were to be replaced with items of similar style. That is not what exactly happened but I took what I got and moved on. I think this is a home based business, but even then you can be professional.

I am an online shopping queen, let me tell you. My very first jilbab came from alhannah.com. It was light weight, and it fit for the most part, but was semi sheer. One day while at a gathering I stood up and noticed the whole backside had split. How embarassing. I had been walking around the store, running errands, and now visiting sisters, and I could have had this split all day. I may have worn it three times, but after that I stayed away from alhannah.

Wow, where do I start??? I ordered $300 worth of abayas that I thought looked absolutely beautiful on their site. Well two months later and I have nothing. I am currently disputing the charge with my bank. It was about 3 weeks before they shipped them out, and their website says 5 business days. When I inquire about my order they give excuse after excuse about how I have to wait to clear customs which I know does not take two months. They keep telling me it has shipped.

I ordered from them over a year ago (I should have learned my lesson then), and they never even shipped the item, but were quick to take the money. I got a refund from them on that purchase. I think they have nice looking product, but they are disorganized.

I now have my abayas custom made by a wonderful tailor in Saudi. It takes about two weeks with stitching and shipping, but they are stunning, and are those high quality ones you find in Saudi abaya boutiques.

My sister managed to get one of their abayas on ebay, the snaps come open during salah, the "embroidery" fell off after one hand wash. Please use caution with this company. Their items look nice and the fabric feels good, but these are not the best quality. From what I hear they are manufactured in Bangladesh not in Saudi at all.

A message to desertstore.com, get your act together. More people might shop with you if you can deliver in less than two months.

We put in £100/month for our daughter through Children's Mutual. Very pleased to have this available to us.

A truly professional magazine with first-rate writing and a great visual sensibility.

I have ordered several items from Headwear Heaven in the past and was quite happy with them. However, I placed a large, expensive order 2/06 and still have not received it. I have contacted Vicki by email and she keeps telling me "it's coming this week"...still nothing and it's now July =:0 She ignored my last email which requested my money back. May Allah guide her to a path that is straight, Amen.

great customer service, wide selection, pleasant and helpful, fast shipping

The hotels, camps and the services were top class and we enjoyed every bit of it and the company was marvellous. Strogly recommend Barakah Hajj
