I purchased a 6 month subscription box from this company as a gift. One box was received after calling, texting and emailing the company and since then I have not had any communication from the company and have 5 outstanding boxes that have not been delivered. They do not answer any communications and I have spent $308.

I purchased month by month subscription for a nonfiction box. I received the first box and it was amazing to have re-purchased this again after receiving a gift from a friend years ago. However, they have charged me for TWO $54.99 boxes that neither of them have shipped or arrived in over 3 months. I have tried calling the store emailing and even trying social media to find the owner and somehow get in touch with her. To this day, I still have not received a response from anyone on her Team which is a shame because I adore these boxes and their contents. I am out $120~ that My bank will not return unless I provide communication between myself and Nia. I have begged via email to respond so I could get a refund instead of trying to dispute the charges through my bank. I have no clue what is going on with my order but now it s just frustrating Really want to support a fellow black owned business. PLEASE MESSAGE ME NIA

I have been trying to contact the store for days. They do not answer the phone. They are not responsive. Their hours are not accurate. I am not understanding how you can run a business, but you do not communicate effectively with your customers. I am very disappointed because I really wanted this to be an amazing experience and buying books for my kids there however they will not be receiving any of my business. I refuse to drive from one part of the metroplex to blacklit again when they won t answer the phone and their hours on their website are incorrect.

Ordered a 3 month subscription box on February 21st. It is April 15th and I still haven t received the first box. I have reached out several times via the website, email, and social media. It has been two months and I still haven t received a box, a refund, or even a response. I m very disappointed. I was looking forward to supporting a small black business. Update: Neither NIA nor her team has reached out to me DESPITE my extensive efforts to communicate via email, phone, & even social media. After I filed a dispute with my bank on April 15, I received a notification on April 26 that my order has been shipped with an intended delivery date on May 11. NIA and her team fraudulently changed my original receipt purchase date from February to April and even assigned a new order number. I guess that was done to make it appear as if the order was shipped on time. I am still pursuing a refund. Finally sending my order 3 months later is totally unacceptable. I do not even want it anymore. This is why I requested the refund. Also, the complete lack of customer service (i.e. unresponsive NIA can respond to positive reviews but she cannot respond to reviews expressing dissatisfaction is very telling of the unprofessional business practices.). Unfortunately, I will urge future patrons to be wary of purchasing from BLACKLIT. The headache is not worth it.

BlackLit provides an unparalleled venue for any event, especially our recent networkingevent. From the moment you walk in, youre greeted by a warm ambiance that is both inviting and sophisticated. The decor is a perfect blend of modern elegance and cultural richness, creating a unique and memorable atmosphere. The spacious layout allowed for comfortable mingling among guests, while the cozy nooks provided intimate spaces for one-on-one conversations. The staff at BlackLit were attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was taken care of and that my event ran smoothly from start to finish. I would highly recommend BlackLit as a must-rent venue for any occasion. Whether youre hosting a book signing, a literary event, or any other gathering, BlackLit offers the perfect setting to create lasting memories. Thank you, BlackLit, for exceeding all expectations and making my event truly unforgettable.

Re: Retail Vendor Program I signed a contract and paid the corresponding fee to display and sell my bath products from Pure Romance by Terri D. in October 2023. The agreement also included weekly advertisements on BlackLITs social media platform. There was not one post about my business on their social media regarding my business. all attempts to communicate for an update were ignored. I sent emails, called and left voicemails, and sent a certified letter with no response. I never received any sales reports or updates on whether my products were being displayed or sold. Finally, at my own inconvenience, I visited the store in person on March 29, 2024, five months later, with no guarantee the owner would even be present. The owner provided no explanation, no apology, or any acknowledgment of the failure of communication. To my surprise, some of my products had actually sold, and she seemed unaware that I had never been paid for those sales. I immediately requested payment and sent a Paypal invoice while standing at the counter. I also sent in samples for her subscription box, and I am still waiting to be told if she still has them or if they were included in a subscription box. The invoice was paid and the remaining products were returned. However, the disrespectful level of non-communication and lack of acknowledgment made this entire program extremely disappointing.

I would like to give a higher rating but I cannot. I have reached out to this business through their designated customer service contact. The items in my $100+ order were not all delivered. I did not receive an item that I paid for and no one will respond to email communications. I love supporting Black businesses, especially those led by Black women. It is unfortunate that this may be the only way I can get a response to address the issue.

I really wanted to love this company! I ordered a 3 month subscription on August 5, 2023, I did not receive my first box until September 26, 2023, I received the second one November 26, 2023 and I have yet to receive the final box. I also received the same shirt in both boxes, which is minor, but quite annoying because they advertise a lot of really cool shirts and that each box wold be different. I have tried to reach out using the contact option on the website, but it sent me to a completely different company. I reached out via Instagram as well, no response. While the concept is amazing, the customer service is awful.

Im a serial entrepreneur and Indie Author in Cleveland, Ohio and was so excited to partner with what seemed to be a likeminded organization with a heart to service the community. Sadly, I had to learn the hard way this facility is only concerned with themselves. In October 2023 I sent my books to be featured on a singular shelf as part of a Solo Shelf option listed in their contract. Thinking my books were singularly featured, I had a friend drop by only to find my books on a shared shelf in a disarray. After sending numerous emails to the owner I was ignored and had to turn to social media where I posted the video and explained what Black LIT had done. Not only had they moved my books without telling me, they did not feature a QR code linking to my website, include weekly story posts, include my book in their email list, or place my book on an IG reel. All of these promises were stated in their contract. But it gets worse. The owner then started spewing lies in response to my video, taking no accountability and not even apologizing for pocketing my money and breaking the contract. Finally my friend was able to pick my books up since Im out of state. One of my books was missing and the owner said she would mail it along with my profit. Ive received neither. When you dig deep in these reviews you will find similar responses from those who have partnered with this store. My friend tried several times to get my book but the company doesnt adhere to store hours, more than likely because the owner is working another gig. They were also in debt $26k at one point. It is sad that our people are doing this to each other but it is a lesson learned for me. Not everyone is about community-building and honoring small business. Some folks just want the appearance of good instead of actually doing good. Also, other authors have come forward to me advising they too were taken advantage of. If you are a business looking to partner, look elsewhere. If you are a consumer who has high morals and values do the same. This company is a red flag waving frantically in the air.

We booked her venue for a graduation celebration and not only did she assist us with set-up but take down and clean up as well. Additionally, she shared gems on her experience, what she s learned and how her bookstore is also a venue for entrepreneurs to share their creativity and experience with one another. I highly encourage EVERYONE to not only visit her location but to also patronize her business.

The bookstore is cute but it doesn t make up for the lack of customer service the workers here demonstrate. On their instagram account they ve been posting October book club event flyers but when I go to the bookstore the building is either closed with the lights off, or the women inside look at u like they are confused when you mention why u came. I think if you want to create a relationship with the community, workers should be open, talkative and honest about the events they are having and stay true to that. I was very excited to participate and drove 50 minutes to this store twice. But it ended up being a waste of time. Very disappointing.

Beautiful space. Warm customer service. Nice selection of books and products. The art was beautiful and I plan to visit again soon to support the art. I saw an associate from St. Louis book he illustrated so that was great to see.

My heart was full when I walked in. I immediately felt and WAS welcomed. The space is beautiful and the staff was great. I didnt realize I was speaking to the owner. She explained the calendar for the next month or so, and we cant wait to come back for the events, especially the one tailored to the needs of my high school senior. Make your way there and support this business.

My daughter LOVES to read, so when I found out about BlackLit, we made plans to go the same day and it did not disappoint. We bought books, and T-shirts and I m SUPER excited for the open mic nights. Everyone was nice, and the space has a nice ambiance. The owner even thanked us for coming in when she saw us leaving. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the stellar customer service.

Visited all the way from St. Louis, MO left with 4 books, art, and t-shirts! The selection of books written by black authors was amazing. I saw lots of books I haven t seen in a typical chain book store. If you are looking to support and Black/Woman owned business this is the spot! The staff was so sweet and even gave us recommendations of things to do in Dallas during our stay! Highly recommend and I will be back or supporting all the way from the Lou!
