Airycloth.com has an Alexa rank of 57,802 which means it is considerably popular. A Slow website speed indicates a sub-optimal browsing experience. Though the domain has been registered in January 2017, traffic data shows that the website has only been active since mid-2019.

Airycloth sells mainly women’s clothing and has huge discounts of 65% to 85% off on its products. However, the original prices shown by Airycloth seem to be inflated. The same products are available on other Chinese retails sites such as Banggood and Aliexpress at lower prices.

Scamadviser Verification

The Scamadviser page of Airycloth has not been claimed by the company.


The About Us page of Airycloth.com mentions that the company is registered in Hong Kong with warehouses in the United Kingdom, United States, Norway and Australia. 

On the Contact Us page, the company name is given as ZC Holding (HK) Limited along with two addresses - a Chinese address and a French address. Both of these have been stated as not being return addresses.  I could not verify whether the addresses are real or fake. There is a  phone number provided which shows up as ‘Vova’ when searched on TrueCaller.

The company ZC Holding (HK) Limited does seem to actually be registered in Hong Kong as there is registration information available online.

The Facebook page has also been verified as being owned by ZC Holding (HK) Limited. The phone number and address provided on the Facebook page are different from those given on the website. The phone number has the country code of China and is not verifiable on TrueCaller.

All social media profiles have been created in 2017. The Twitter profile has 0 tweets and the Facebook and Instagram pages have not been updated since early to mid 2019. The Facebook page is named Airydress, therefore it seems like Airycloth may be a secondary site. The purpose of having two identical websites is unknown.

User Reviews

The reviews for both airycloth.com and airydress.com are highly negative. Airycloth has a rating of 1.5/5 based on 52 reviews while airydress.com has a rating of 2,7/5 based on 1,481 reviews on TrustPilot. Therefore, there is a possibility that selling through the domain airycloth.com may be an attempt to escape the negative reviews accumulated by airydress.com 

Most of the complaints by customers are complaining about the low-quality of the delivered products, There is a general dissatisfaction among the customers that the quality of the items they received did not meet their expectations.

Conclusion

There is an extremely high likelihood that Airycloth is a scam.

The website has a Trust Score of 1% on Scamadviser, which indicates that it is risky to shop on this website. You can know more about Airycloth’s Trust Score here.

Airycloth claims to have ‘flash sales’ which are always going on. Despite this, the prices of Airycloth seem higher than those of competitors. The same website is also operating on the domain airydress.com, which seems to be the original store. This could have been done to escape negative reviews. 

The parent company ZC Holding (HK) Limited does seem to be registered, but the contact details and address are unverifiable. The company claims to have warehouses all over the world. However, customers are still complaining about long delivery times.

The majority of the complaints are regarding the low quality of the products being delivered which are not as advertised. The large percentage of negative reviews suggests that most of the customers are unhappy with their experience with Airycloth. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid shopping on this website.
