Hanger Review
I ordered TEN hangers from her and since I had plenty of time before my wedding I wasn't concerned about the time frame. Now I just found out that I will probably never bec receiving my order. I'm so mad! So much money wasted...

Problem with delivery

Did not ship product.
I have purchased 5 hangers in 2013 for my wedding and after months of messaging, I finally received them. Unfortunately I had been compassionate when she stated that she had been busy with numerous orders, so I figured since she did a beautiful job for the wedding, I would order a couple more for a birthday present for my mother. I ordered 2 hangers in April of this year, and heard nothing from Nila for months. Four months later, I received a shipment in the mail, only to discover there was only one hanger. Upon messaging Nila, I had gotten an automatic reply stating that they are 'NOT on vacation' and to expect a '48 hour response time. Great. I sent numerous messages but to no avail, the same automatic message kept popping up. Only today did I find out that her store no longer exists, and discover that there are hundreds of other individuals in my position. I understand that it may be only $10 and that it may seem insignificant to others who have probably lost more, but this is theft, and its about principal. -Dorota

Wish Upon Starfish - Hanger Review
I purchased 9 hangers from this shop back in April and told her I needed them by July 20th which were never shipped out. Contacted the shop almost 10 times with no response other than the automated one and the shop has been removed now! Her Facebook has been removed and her email address is no longer active. I have NO way to contact this person and I'm out $67! I've been looking around online and this has happened to so many other people. It's just awful that a person can do that without any regard for other people. I hope she knows any future business she tries to do will be tainted with all these awful reviews when you search her name. No responsibility for what she has done! It's one thin to take longer than promised on an order but to just drop off the face I the earth without contactin your customers is so rude and unprofessional. I plan to keep searching her name periodically to see if I can ever find a way to contact her again an of course to warn anyone who tried to do future business with her if she tries to open any shop again. I feel so sorry for her. I don't think she knows what she's done by pissingoff so many people! The saddest part is she could probably make it better for herself by contacting all these angry customers and making things right! But hiding and ignoring people is like a second slap in the face. I will be contacting the police regarding this.

STOLE MY MONEY!
I ordered 5 hanger from Nila Clark on Etsy her shop is called WishUponAStarFish. DO NOT order from her, I place my order in February still have not received it it is know July 18th, this is ridiculous she scams you for your money. Her shop "disappeared" on Etsy, Etsy will not help you they just let this lady collect your money. This is a joke I can't believe they let her do this, and I cant believe she has the nerve to steal hundreds probably even thousands of peoples money, especially while they are paying so much money to get married!

Purchased Product Never Arrived!
My order never arrived from WishUponStarfish, an etsy shop owned by Nila Clark. The order was placed on April 21, 2014. I gave her a deadline of June 28th, 2014 and she confirmed that my order would arrive by then since it was well within her 7 week production timeline. I have tried messaging Nila, the shop owner, multiple times leading up to and AFTER I should have received my order. No response except for an automated message. I recently looked at the reviews from her shop and I am NOT the only person that she has deceived and stolen money from!!! She purposely made her production timeline outside of the timeline that people can post a complaint to Etsy.

Wish Upon Starfish - Online Order Review
Now that I've read the reviews I feel dumbfounded. If I would have known this woman was a crook I NEVER would have ordered through her. There are SO many other sites on etsy with better quality for a little bit more money.. With being on an already tight budget this is NOT what I need

There goes my money
Same issue as with all these other buyers. Purchased hangers, agreed to a back log time of 7 weeks, which happens to be just enough time frame for Etsy's and PayPal's grace period to elapse. Her email nila@***h is also no longer valid. It been 5 months since my order was processed, I suppose it should have been a red flag that I was instantly charged even though my order hasn't even been worked on. I now cling to my bank to try to retrieve my money from Paypal. I have filed a complaint with http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx in hopes they find this person.

Fraudulent seller
I ordered three personalized hangers from this seller but she never mailed out the items. I tried contacting her several times with no response. Seller is a fake and good thing is she's been banned for life from etsy! I found her on facebook and linked in as well. If she try's to make a website or another site I will be all over it with negative reviews. Also, I will be contacting the police and internet reporting websites to report her fraudulent activity. She lives in Mrytle Beach, South Carolina email address nila@***.com Her linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/nila-clark/18/639/546

No goods delivered
I too have a outstanding order from "wish upon a starfish". We have all been duped by this lady into sending her money and never getting our orders! I won't buy anything ever again from etsy nor will I use paypal! How do they let people like this join their site? I am sure that this started from the beginning of when she joined. And yes, she had a timelinw outside the window of getting your money refunded. Paypal told me to go to my bank to get my money back! They have not yet refunded my money, nor do i think it will ever be refunded.

CROOK!!!
Same thing happend with me...Ordered hangers from her for my bridesmaids. It's been month and still nothing. This lady is just stealing money from people and there's nothing etsy or paypal can do. I have emailed her numerous times and have not received one single email back. Here is her email, but she won't respond nila@***.com. She is a crook! I have read all the negative reviews and it seems like she is doing this to alot of people and her shop is no longer up in etsy. There has to be a way to get a hold of this crazy woman!

Hanger Review
I ordered 6 hangers in January and was told they would arrive well before my September wedding. Now I'm two weeks away from my date and still haven't received anything, I can't contact her, and it's too late to file with etsy or paypal. I am out $56 because of this scam.

I too was really mad at this shop but I finally got my hangers about two weeks ago and they are perfect! It took a lot longer than I would have liked and I was worried I wouldn't get them after it took so long but I did and couldn't be happier with them. It seems the shop owner really is shipping out the orders after all. Reading these complaints in my opinion people are being kind of dramatic over an Etsy order why not just file with your credit card to get your money back or something? It's a lot of emotion over an internet purchase and if you're like me you will probably be getting them anyway. I took down a pretty mean post I had made about this company on another site after I got my order I wonder how many here bother to come back and do the same? Looking back and really thinking about it I was pretty childish to post what I did and do that when all I would have had to do was contact my bank if I really wanted a refund. I do agree Etsy and Paypal are no help in situations like this. I avoid Etsy like the plague now because the internet it full of stories about not getting orders from many vendors on there. I'm sure some are good but I'm used to ordering from a "company" where the stuff is already made and ships pretty fast and I guess I just don't have the patience to wait for it to be handmade. That's just me but now I am only going to buy local or DIY! My wedding planning made me a little crazy I guess. I admit that! It's stressful but no one scammed me after all and I'm happy in the end.

SCAM
I ordered 7 hangers in JANUARY of 2014 and had said at the latest I would need them on Aug. 1st. (I know my fault for giving date so late but this was my 2nd purchase ever on etsy) she assured me in multiple messages it would arrive well before that. On August 11th they arrived - incorrect order. She has blocked me from fb (I had to message her on there to get a response) and I want my money back. I paid for a product that didn't arrive on time AND was incorrect anyways. You are a disgusting SCAM artist and all I can do is have faith justice will be served.

I ALSO NEVER GOT MY ORDER...
I made a purchase in February and added/modified in April and was promised it would arrive by mid-June...I have tried to contact her NUMEROUS times to no avail. Out a lot of money which is really frustrating....Has anyone had any luck? Etsy is useless with helping and so is pay-pal. Is there ANYTHING we can do?!?! Anyone have ANY results? I'm really annoyed and honestly just want my money back. I know she had a lot of positive reviews but I'm thinking since 2014 not many have received their order? http://www.weddingbee.com/wedding-vendor/wish-upon-starfish#axzz38K9SKZJs This link has a possible phone number - Although I'm sure it has since been changed.
