We are a group of South Florida business which signed up for a shopping event, paid $500 for the weekend and The Barzaar did not deliver on shoppers or advertising the event. We are trying to bring awareness to small businesses being scammed and asking for 50% of our vendor fee to be returned. $250 from a group of people who made over $20,000 in profit.
I have spent all morning reading through the stories you all are sending in about similar bad experiences and it is honestly infuriating how common this is getting. It feels like we are just getting ignored whenever we reach out for a simple refund but I am still emailing them every single day until someone finally says something back.

It’s NOT OKAY for them to require such a high payment to vendor there and for the small business to not even make half of that back in sales, as a small business this really hurts them. They deserve a FULL refund due to their time the gas they used to be there and the fact they could have done better things with the hours they were there. Unbelievable. I’m sorry to each of the businesses that had to go through that…

I was a vendor at this event so many vendors were not even said hi to me personally as well! They did not promote at all and we were promised at least 1,000 people that did not happen at all the only people there were just browsing they didn’t even know the event was there they just came there for the restaurants that were there. So many small businesses lost so much money! They are very ungenuine people. And not one person got an apology I was squished in with other people have to squeeze to walk to the other side of my table. I sold jewelry at the event and there around 30 other jewelry vendors there and I was in a row with four other jewerly vendors no joke!!

My daughter was a vendor there and she has not been treated fairly. I stand for good business and fairness. The owners have been false advertising and just took money thats all they care about.

We were so disappointed with the venue and mostly with the organization. They were so rude and not able to provide a ethical service.

1. For vendors event investing 500 USD for just two days, it should be an amazing incredible event. But it was just a bazar in the middle of a food court.
2. The manager promise a huge event, it was small, we were located near a food shop where customers where eating, they don’t even care about the “event”
3. Security guards and stuff didn’t know about the event downstairs so our customers decided to leave. They weren’t inform at the entrance were they should go.
4. Everyone was mad because we felt scam on what the organizers promise, there was not publicity or enough information about the event.
5. We Send a message via their social private media and email about what was happening on Saturday night and they didn’t even care about it. So I am asking for full refund of the event, I sold 0.00 USD.
6. We are part of Aventura mall farmer market we don’t pay that amount for 2 days. We are so disappointed about everything that I won’t go to any bazar not even in miami.
