Scam Artists
October 3, 2024

I used to use these guys for some nice products when they started out. With huge success comes even bigger failure: greed. They have repeatedly yanked purchases I made, their developers get to decide whether or not to refund you or not. Guess how often they actually do offer one? You got it. These guys are nothing more than scam artists ripping people off.

Great Marketplace For Website Assets
July 14, 2024

I have been using Theme Forest for years, never had an issue. All my purchases/assets are always updated by the developers. I recommend before purchasing themes, scripts, plugins from Theme Forest, to make sure the Author is at least an 'Elite Author' that updates their items. You will have to research the author portfolios and check out their items and update history, reviews and comments before purchasing.

Complete Horror
November 4, 2023

My experience with their customer service left much to be desired. It felt like reaching out to them was akin to talking to a wall—total silence. To make matters worse, after disputing a charge on my credit card, their response was to lock me out of my account, cutting off any information about updates. It seemed as if they had forgotten the basics of customer relations as soon as there was a hiccup in payments. A total letdown.

September 22, 2022

This website not trusted.

Bethought request for refund money the refund money
When you invest time and money on your website.

I was purchase a them for themeforest.net but after 1 moth purchasing the theme thy mail i have successful process to refund.

So how customer can trust this website after purchasing they sleeping 1 or 2 month the work and send mail refund successfully

This website require big legal action.

No professional team and support system is very exponential.

I find to contact us form to support team but the option not showing in my dashboard.

A Nightmare
January 14, 2022

Wow! This was the worst experience and customer service received in my entire life. I do not usually leave a review, but it was so bad that I have to. I will rate them as a 0. They are incompetent, unwilling to assist, and have no value for the customer. I waisted my time, resources, energy, money and clients. I still have to purchase another template and start from scratch.

This is just the tip of the iceberg but will leave it as is. Do yourself a favor and never purchase from them.

Very dissatisfied customer

Avoid it!
June 14, 2023

Just avoid it! I bought a beautiful wordpress theme there after contacting them to see if i could settle it without coding on an existing website. They told me no problem. Well it didn't go well at all, unusable without coding. So i asked for a refund... they just locked my account. So now i even cannot use what i bought from them anymore on a future project! This company is absolutely not serious. Avoid it!

It's both a shame and an insult to the spirit of good business practice, for theme forest to delete negative reviews on items. I had a very bad experience with a theme and I gave a honest detailed review. A few days later my review is nowhere on the site and so the item keeps deceitfully covered in the positive reviews that themeforest chooses to keep around. Unbelievable

Envato is a disgusting company, and its a shame they don't have better competitors.

Nevermind how poor the share of earnings is as a seller, they have the absolute worst customer service. I spend hundreds of dollars a year with Envato, and I have since 2011. I have never contact customer service for anything. I made a purchase that went through twice, and I immediately contact them to let them know and cancel the second one.

Instead of keep a loyal customer, they made me go through months of back and forth filling out all of these different forms, only to have "Joef" their "Customer Success Officer" say that they don't refund mistaken orders.

I could under stand a single "mistake", it could be a lie, but mine was a clear back to back duplicate order that could have been a technical issue, and I was only in need of the duplicate transaction being refunded.

They are an embarrassing company.

Disgraceful service
November 1, 2023

I bought a theme and was directed to but thru this company - I paid and so called got a license. My developer then tried to install the theme and was told we cant use the theme it has no license? I tried to login to my account to query this and am told Account Locked! Have you ever?! So now I have to contact their support to unlock my account - who locks people/clients accounts? Then the support email says I have to wait 4 days for it to be answered? So now I have a site thats unusable Im out of $ no license no support and losing business! Disgraceful - I would use stronger terms if I could.

I've purchased before from them, but this time I went to buy again and they locked my account. I emailed and they said that they wouldn't unlock my account. No reason and no discussion. It seems they did NOT want to resolve the issue. Strange, because I've always had good service from them until now. Do NOT purchase themes from them. Go to Templatemonster.com instead. You'll be glad you did.
