BBB has received the following Scam Tracker Reports/complaints on this business.
"Sheldon Shoppes, LLC is a fake business that has a legitimate-looking website, products, and payment portal, but will steal your credit card information and place fraudulent charges at a later date. They use the purchase amount to determine how much of a fraudulent charge they can get away with. We placed an order for a children's toy and received a legitimate-looking confirmation. A few hours later, we received an order cancellation and full refund. Two weeks later our credit card was compromised with an unauthorized charge that was quite large. We know with 100% accuracy that this website was the reason our card was stolen. Other online reports back up this case."
"This company/ website looks legitimate but the address is the address of a UPS store, the phone number is always busy and there is a thread online on Reddit of people having the same experience with this business than I had. I ordered from them an item that is out of stock due to Covid everywhere else and was surprised they had it. My order was canceled the next day with the explanation that their bank canceled my order. However, my card is fine and in fact, a brand new card because we detected fraud on our previous one, recently. A chat option did not generate a chat and my attempt to email them was not successful either. I am just getting pre-generated answers. Please, look into this. I highly suspect that they are gathering credit card information only."
"This online company is a scam to obtain customer credit card information. When someone orders the order is immediately canceled and refunded.

The phone number doesn't pull up any sort of business. Google maps street view doesn't show any business at that location called Shoppes of Sheldon. I was able to confirm it was registered in Jan of this year, only up for 46 days, has switched IP addresses 3 times since it's been live, and is currently hosted by Godaddy. All the registrant info is godaddy info which means they pay for a privacy protection option so the persons name is not public. The location of the server says California but I don't think that means anything with a godaddy host, again I know nothing."
