Jane.com Under Investigation After Abrupt Shutdown (If You Recently Ordered, You Need to Read This!)
The online retailer Jane.com, whose deals we often shared over the years, suddenly went dark on Friday, November 17, surprising us, shoppers, sellers, and employees of this popular fashion and home decor marketplace. 😔
We first noticed a “down for maintenance” message when visiting the site, and now it seems the Jane mobile app is nonfunctional, as well. While the company’s social media pages are still online, comments have been turned off.
Jane has a sizeable community of small business owners and other vendors who are now locked out of their sellers’ portal. With no way to communicate with Jane, sellers are unsure whether they will be able to collect the money owed to them by the company. We hear that there may be thousands of unfulfilled orders with no plan in place to ship them or provide refunds. The local police department where Jane is headquartered has even opened an investigation.
Many concerned customers and sellers who have attempted to reach out to Jane have reported receiving no response, so direct communication with the company may be difficult or impossible at this point. If you recently purchased something from Jane.com and haven’t received your order, be prepared to dispute those charges with your credit card company.
We’ll continue to follow this story and bring you additional updates they develop. And if you’re one of the impacted former Jane sellers, you’re welcome to leave your Etsy or storefront link in the comments below.
I received an email from Jane yesterday or the day before, can’t remember, and it was not specific. It was regarding their sales and orders. Of course I deleted it but I am sure everything will come out to the light. Crossing my fingers for the small business owners and customers. Thanks for the 411.
This is a great coupon site. You ALWAYS keep us informed. It is greatly appreciated 🩷
How sweet! SO glad these posts are helpful. Thanks for the sweet comment, Kathy. 💞
You’re very welcome
I can see why. Every time I ordered from Jane there was a problem with the order, whether not getting it, it shipped to the wrong address, wrong size, color, or item. Plus, it was impossible to get your money back. It was always a credit that was impossible to use. I quit buying there two years ago. I still have a credit that I was never able to apply to anything. This is no surprise to me at all.
SO very sorry to hear about your experiences. Thanks for taking a moment to share about your previous orders. 😔❤️
I totally agree! I only ordered from Jane one time, several years ago. The item was supposed to be a gift, but when it came, the quality of it was so poor and cheap that I was embarrassed to give it as a gift. Rather than hassle with a return, I just kept it for my own use. That’s when I put Jane into the “never again” category.
Jane is similar to sites like Zulily or Etsy with separate sellers
Wow, I’m not sure when I last ordered from them (months or years ago) but I get their emails and got my last one on 11/15…
I love shopping through Jane. Love all their personalized items. I do have two depending orders from October with credit from a last order that was cancelled. I was hoping to use it for Christmas presents. This is tough!
Hope it comes thru for you!!
I had not ordered from them in years, but recently went to buy a Taylor Swift tee mentioned on this site, and I noticed the website down msg. How odd!
I just placed an order for two items on Nov. 12. I received
Glad to hear you received your order for your order a few weeks ago, Wink! 🎉💕
I just bought my daughter a gift card from them a few weeks ago and now I’m afraid we won’t be able to use it.
Oh no! With their site/business being unavailable, you may need to reach out to your financial institution to see about filing a dispute or chargeback on the gift card purchase. 🤞💞
Thank you for the article. People need to know what this company did to their customers & sellers. My name is Laura. I was a seller (Laura Michelle) on Jane.com since 2014. Im owed money as well! I opened an Etsy store yesterday to try to get some cash flow while I figure out my next step. Im only doing grab bags right (5 items / $20 & free shipping) now because its time consuming to list individual listings and I have my 4 little kids 🤪home and dont have time.
This is my Etsy store

Just got a catalog and just went to place a order. Thought it was odd because it was on your site. Thanks for the heads up. Learned after making a major purchase on my credit card after Hurricane Ian. Thankful that bank helped me or I would be out several thousand dollars. Wish we could put everything on cc so we would be protected.
You’re welcome, Ami Jo! Happy to hear your bank was helpful in recovering the funds for that purchase! 🙌💖
