I’ve heard enough bad stuff about this copycat company now to support a warning against them. I remember when they first launched, they were trying to get advertising on my site in the exact same places as the legit 411hijab.com. I thought it was really crappy of the copycats to steal their good name and then try to steal their good potential customers. Abdul and Julie who run 411hijab.com are a hard-working, honest, couple who don’t deserve this crap. I’ve met them in person in their retail store when I was in Richardson, TX, and I buy wholesale from them all the time. I’m waiting for an order right now as I write this.

I’m so sorry you had to experience them Mariem. I wish I could save everyone before they buy. Why don’t you start a class action lawsuit against them. You’ve got lots of contacts here to get on board with you.

Nine East Apparel??? This is the company name of Islamic-Attire… with the same contact information. This is supposed to be the US address in texas, but they are based in India and everything ships from India. I am very concerned now…has anyone heard anything else that was negative about this company?

Wooooowwwwe Subhanallah….Allahu Akbar & Alhamdulillah for Allah protecting me from these people I wanted to place an order but the size chart for the item was not working and neither was the contact us link Mashallah something told me google them and this is what I came up with. May Allah protect anyone else from being taken by these scams and may you all be compensated for loss on yammul qiyama Ameen…and remember Allah’s most beautiful names and attributes Al Adl & Al Hakim He is the Most Just Judge and they will brought to account accordingly

As Salaamualakium.

I want to give a warning about the website essence of black.I ordered $68.00 worth of hijabs and other merchandise and never received it. They gave me an invalid shipping order number and when I did not receive the package going on for 2 weeks, I got a little inpatient, okay alot inpatient to when I emailed them about it, no response back and yes no package at all, my hard earned money is lost and I thought it was a legit site but I should’ve been more cautious especially with no contact information on the site and no responses back to my emails when I questioned them about my orders. the funny thingwas that they were emailing me alerts when they had a sale going on!!! go figure!!!! Please beware of the site. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING!!! IGNORE THE SITE!!!!

As salaamu alaikum,
I was a victim of Essence of Black. I was billed nearly $100 on March 6, 2010, and received confirmation that my purchase was shipped out of Egypt and even given a tracking number. The U.S. Post Office has no record of the package ever entering the country and the Egypt Post office claims it was shipped to the U.S. Mind you, I have made several inquiries to essence of black “customer support” and have received autoresponses only. Al hamdulillah, they may get away with this crime for a time, but Allah is Merciful. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the Michigan branch of the bbb, and thanks to Ummjihad’s listing of a physical address and phone number, I may have some hope of resolution. Subhannah Allah. I’m glad to see that I could have avoided this mess by reading these posts, but at least I know where to look in the future–that is if my husband ever permits me to order anything online again…lol

Hello there Dara,

I had a recent experience with hijab411… – Based in Malaysia(Please note this is not the same as 411hijab.com in the USA which is a good company that I previously dealt with).
Very bad experience, only shipped my package after I asked for the money back, was told items shipped when in fact they were not. After placing a claim with PayPal, they shipped the items: The items received were not same colors or styles for the most part..They must have shipped whatever they have in stock…

In short very untrustworthy business, they communicated well until they got the money, it made me suspect they are a fraud.

I am writing this in the hope that no one else hopefully would have to go through this experience and waste their money..

Feel free to contact me via email if you have any further questions.

Kindest Regards,

Zeina
