Independent profile — not affiliated with Parke
Parke
Parke is a direct-to-consumer apparel brand best known for logo sweatshirts, hoodies and denim sold through limited online "drops," founded in 2022 by Chelsea Parke Goles and operated as Parke CPK LLC. The company's own FAQ names parkeofficial.com as its only official website and warns shoppers to check the spelling and domain ending because look-alike sites exist. Parke's Better Business Bureau file carries an F rating for failing to respond to three complaints about final-sale/exchange disputes and a billing dispute, while its official Trustpilot profile is unclaimed with zero reviews; a similarly named but different domain has separate, mostly negative reviews. No own complaints about Parke have been submitted on USAComplaints.

Ordered from Parke, or thinking about it? What to check
Parke is a direct-to-consumer clothing brand that sells sweatshirts, hoodies, denim and loungewear through limited-quantity online "drops." According to Parke's own FAQ, "Our only official website is parkeofficial.com," and the company advises shoppers to "double check the spelling: parkeofficial (no extra letters or dashes)" and "make sure the site ends in '.com'" — a sign that similarly named sites exist; the FAQ also lists "poor designs, odd URLs, or suspicious pricing" as scam-site red flags. If you are unsure whether a site you found is the real one, Parke's FAQ says to "DM us or email [email protected] and we'll gladly confirm." If you believe you ordered from a fake site, the FAQ's own advice is to "contact your bank or credit card provider immediately to dispute the charge" and "report the site to us so we can flag it to our legal team." The domain parke.co, which does not belong to this brand, currently redirects to a GoDaddy "domain for sale" page, not to any storefront. Four other domains — parkeofficial.us, parkeofficial.us.com, parkehoodie.com and parkestores.com — were still live and selling similar sweatshirts and hoodies under the Parke name when checked again on September 29, 2026; parkeofficial.us’s own text states "parkeofficial.us is the Parke OFFICIAL US store," and parkestores.com’s own text states "OFFICIAL Parke US Store is parkestores.com" — both directly contradicting Parke’s own FAQ statement that parkeofficial.com is its "only official website." No ownership link between any of these four domains and Parke CPK LLC was found in the searches performed for this page.
Parke's own shipping policy states warehouse processing takes "5-7 business days" before an order ships, after which Economy delivery takes 2-5 business days, Express 2-3 business days, Overnight 1 business day, and International 10-20 business days (the company's FAQ page gives slightly different delivery windows for the same tiers, so treat the processing time as the main variable). Many items — "Sweatshirts, Sweats, Fleeces, Graphic Tees, Sunglasses, Preorders, Pop-up purchases, Sale Items" — are listed as final sale and "not eligible for return, exchange, or store credit"; a separate section of the same policy, headed "Cozies Are Always Final Sale," states specifically that sweatshirts, sweats and fleeces "are always final sale" and "cannot be returned for a refund or store credit and cannot be exchanged." For the items that are eligible, Parke's FAQ states "We currently do not offer returns for refunds" — only an exchange or store credit within 14 days of delivery, for items that are "new, unworn, unwashed, and in original packaging"; store credit is "valid for one year from the issue date." Parke's shipping policy states a returned item showing "signs of wear, damage, odors, or excessive wrinkling may incur a $15 restocking fee"; its FAQ states the same fee more bluntly, without the "may": "if a return is sent back with any signs of wear or excessive wrinkles, a $15.00 restocking fee will be charged." Both are Parke's own current wording. To start a return, the shipping policy says to "visit our returns portal, to set up your return and receive a prepaid label," and to allow "3-5 business days" for processing once received; an exchange carries a replacement shipping fee, store credit has the original shipping cost deducted from the refunded amount, and on international orders "return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility." A damaged-item claim must be submitted "within 5 days of delivery," and Parke defines damage as "manufacturing defects, major stitching issues, noticeable fabric flaws, or any significant imperfections that impact the product's functionality or appearance when received" — explicitly not "normal wear and tear or changes due to regular use over time." Parke's FAQ gives conflicting answers on order changes on the same page: one answer says you "can make edits (like updating a shipping address)" within "30 minutes after placing it on a typical day, and 60 minutes ... on Drop Days," while the very next answer says the company is "unable to change or edit your shipping address" at all "due to warehouse processing times." A banner shown on Parke's own product pages adds a third, more absolute statement: "Once your order is placed, we're unable to make any changes." These three statements are the company's own current wording and are not reconciled here.
Parke automatically adds a third-party "Onward" package-protection add-on to orders; its FAQ says approved claims lead to "a refund, replacement or store credit," but shipping and the Onward charge itself are not refunded. Parke's FAQ states that a claim filed with Onward must meet one of these windows: a package marked delivered but not received, "between 2 and 15 days after the delivery date"; a presumed-lost package with no tracking update, "between 7 and 30 days from the last tracking update"; or a damaged item or package, "no later than 15 days after the delivery date"; the same FAQ directs customers to file that claim "through the email you received from Onward after placing your order, or by going to this link (https://app.useonward.com/make-a-claim)." Separately, Onward's own Terms of Service (on Onward's site, not Parke's) set a general contractual notice deadline for its shipping-protection product: customers "must notify the Company of any lost or damaged products, for which shipping protection has been purchased, within 60 days of the date that such product(s) were purchased from the Store," or lose the benefit of the coverage — a longer, general window distinct from the shorter, claim-type-specific windows in Parke's own FAQ above. If a customer opts out of Onward at checkout, Parke's FAQ states "Parke is not responsible for your package once it has left our warehouse" and the customer bears the risk of loss, theft, or transit damage.
- Confirm you're on parkeofficial.com before ordering or entering payment details, per the company's own guidance above.
- Read the product page before buying — cozies (sweatshirts, sweats, fleeces), graphic tees, sunglasses, preorders, pop-up purchases and sale items are final sale and, per Parke's own policy, not eligible for a refund, an exchange, or store credit at all.
- Use Parke's support portal at parke.customerdesk.io for order issues; the company's Contact page does not list a phone number or mailing address, but its FAQ separately gives [email protected] and invites a DM for authenticity/fake-site questions.
- Report a damaged item within 5 days of delivery (or file a separate Onward claim within the windows given above) and keep photos, since those are the deadlines Parke's own FAQ gives for each.
- If you bought optional order/shipping protection (e.g. "Onward") at checkout, note that protection claims are handled by that third-party provider, not directly by Parke — BBB complaints describe at least one protection claim being denied and one instance of unresponsive support on both sides.
- If Parke's support portal doesn't respond, you can file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or dispute the charge with your card issuer, as BBB complainants describe doing.
Company background
Parke is operated as Parke CPK LLC. Its Better Business Bureau business profile lists a business-start date of June 21, 2022 and a Saint Petersburg, Florida address; Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) confirms this business as an active Florida LLC (Document Number L22000282188, filed 06/21/2022, status ACTIVE), lists "KRAMER, CHELSEA P" as an Authorized Member at the same Saint Petersburg address BBB lists, and shows a September 2025 amendment. Sunbiz separately lists the identical Saint Petersburg address as the entity's Registered Agent (Northwest Registered Agent LLC), which is a national registered-agent service. Press coverage identifies Chelsea Parke Goles as the brand's founder and CEO: according to New Jersey Monthly, Goles (who attended Morristown Beard School and Dickinson College) and co-founder/COO Kira Kramer (who Goles met at 16 and who later married Goles's brother Jackson) began during the pandemic with a vintage/upcycled women's denim resale business based in Miami, then pivoted to sweatshirts in 2022 after finding that "two pairs of jeans that were the same size didn't fit the same way." The brand's own About page says it is "a woman-owned and run business" and describes expanding into basics and loungewear in 2023 and launching its "first original denim line" in 2024. Separately, Parke's own Terms of Service page, as posted on parkeofficial.com, still contains two unfilled template placeholders where a working link should be — "[LINK TO REFUND POLICY]" (appearing twice) and "[LINK TO PRIVACY POLICY]" — rather than an actual hyperlink, as of this check on September 29, 2026.
According to New Jersey Monthly, Parke's sales grew from "$100,000 in 2022 to $16 million as of November 2025," driven by social media (Instagram, TikTok, pop-up stores and monthly drops) rather than traditional advertising, and the brand manufactures its clothing overseas and warehouses it in Middletown, Pennsylvania. Inc.com separately reported, in a November 2025 profile, that Goles "scaled her clothing brand Parke from $100,000 in sales to a reported $16 million in revenue last year—without spending a single dollar on ads," adding that "Parke declined to share 2025 revenue." In April 2026, Inc.com reported that Parke launched an exclusive collection at Target, "designed in close collaboration with Parke founder and CEO Chelsea Parke Goles," covering "loungewear, ready-to-wear sets, denim, accessories," and the brand's "first foray into swimwear"; the 60-piece Target collection was priced mostly under $40 with some items from $5, compared with the $130 price Inc.com reported for Parke's signature logo crewneck sweatshirt on the company's own website.
Complaint record: BBB, Trustpilot, and USAComplaints, reported separately
Different sources track feedback about Parke, and this page reports each separately rather than combining them into one figure:
- BBB: Parke CPK LLC is not BBB accredited and carries an F rating, with BBB's stated "Reasons for rating" being "Failure to respond to 3 complaint(s) filed against business." BBB's complaints tab shows 3 total complaints in the last 3 years, all 3 closed in the last 12 months, and all marked "Unanswered." In the first complaint, the complainant alleges a hoodie arrived stained and, being final sale, could not be returned, and reports that a separate "Onward Protection" order-protection claim on the purchase was denied as "cosmetic" damage. In the second, the complainant alleges two unauthorized duplicate orders (each carrying a "$5.35 order protection fee") were charged on top of one intended sweatshirt purchase, for $307.50 total against an intended $148.40. In the third, the complainant reports that a sweatshirt which didn't fit was refused an exchange because it was final sale. BBB shows 0 customer reviews for the business.
- Trustpilot: Parke's own domain, parkeofficial.com, has an unclaimed profile with 0 reviews as of this check. A different, non-official domain (parkeofficial.us, which is not the site Parke's own FAQ names as official) has a separate Trustpilot profile showing 1.8 out of 5 from 15 reviews, with complaints about non-delivery and unresponsive support; because that is a different domain, its reviews are not counted as Parke's own record here; a Trustpilot profile tied to a domain does not by itself prove which website a reviewer actually purchased from.
- USAComplaints: 0 complaints have been submitted about Parke on this site as of September 29, 2026.
No CPSC recalls or warnings matching "Parke," and no federal court cases matching "Parke CPK" or "Parke" combined with "Goles," were found in searches performed on 2026-09-29; these are reported as the result of the specific searches performed, not as proof nothing exists.
Is Parke Legitimate?
Parke is operated by Parke CPK LLC, an active Florida limited liability company per the state's own Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) record (Document Number L22000282188, filed June 21, 2022, status ACTIVE), and is tied to a named founder, Chelsea Parke Goles, who has been covered in business press (New Jersey Monthly, Inc.com) and whose brand ran a 2026 collaboration with Target. Parke's own FAQ states "Our only official website is parkeofficial.com" and warns customers to check the domain spelling and ending, which indicates the brand itself is aware of look-alike sites using its name and imagery; a search of USPTO trademark filings under "PARKE" for clothing, re-run on September 29, 2026, turned up no live registration held by Parke CPK LLC in that search. Separately, Parke CPK LLC's BBB file shows an F rating because the business did not respond to any of three complaints filed there as of this check, covering final-sale/exchange disputes and a duplicate-billing dispute; Parke's official Trustpilot profile has no reviews on file. No CPSC recalls or federal court cases matching this brand were found in the searches run on September 29, 2026. This page assigns Parke no rating, score, or "scam" label of its own — the official policies, and the complaint and review record above, are reported so readers can judge for themselves before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Parke's official website?
Parke's own FAQ states: "Our only official website is parkeofficial.com." The company advises checking the spelling ("parkeofficial, no extra letters or dashes") and confirming the site ends in ".com," and says shoppers who are unsure can email [email protected] to confirm; the same FAQ adds "poor designs, odd URLs, or suspicious pricing" as other scam-site signs, and advises anyone who ordered from a fake site to "contact your bank or credit card provider immediately to dispute the charge" and report the site to Parke. The unrelated domain parke.co, sometimes associated with this brand's name, currently redirects to a GoDaddy "domain for sale" page and is not an active Parke storefront. Four other sites using similar branding — parkeofficial.us, parkeofficial.us.com, parkehoodie.com and parkestores.com — were still live and selling similar sweatshirts when checked again on September 29, 2026; two of them (parkeofficial.us and parkestores.com) explicitly call themselves the official Parke/Parke US store on their own pages, which conflicts with Parke's own FAQ statement above. No ownership link between any of these four domains and Parke CPK LLC was established in the searches performed for this page.
Can I return a Parke sweatshirt or hoodie?
According to Parke's shipping policy, sweatshirts, sweats, fleeces, graphic tees, sunglasses, preorders, pop-up purchases and sale items are all "final sale" and cannot be "returned, exchanged, or credited." For items that are not final sale, Parke's FAQ states "We currently do not offer returns for refunds" — eligible items can only be exchanged or turned into store credit within 14 days of delivery, must be "new, unworn, unwashed, and in original packaging," and store credit is "valid for one year from the issue date." Parke's shipping policy says to start a return through its "returns portal" for a prepaid label, and to allow "3-5 business days" for processing once the item is received; an exchange carries a replacement shipping fee, and store credit has the original shipping cost deducted. A returned item showing signs of wear or excessive wrinkling carries a $15 restocking fee: the shipping policy hedges ("may incur a $15 restocking fee"), while the FAQ states it more bluntly ("a $15.00 restocking fee will be charged").
How long does Parke shipping take?
Parke's shipping policy states warehouse processing takes "5-7 business days" for every shipping method before an order ships. After that, the company lists Economy delivery at 2-5 business days, Express at 2-3 business days, Overnight at 1 business day, and International at 10-20 business days. Parke's separate FAQ page gives slightly different delivery windows for the same tiers (for example, 2-4 business days for Economy), so the 5-7 day processing time is the figure both pages agree on.
How do I contact Parke customer service?
Parke's Contact page directs customers to "reach out to our team through our Customer Support Portal" at parke.customerdesk.io. The page does not list a phone number, support email, or physical mailing address; the company's social channels are Instagram (@parke) and TikTok (@parkeofficial). BBB complaints describe delays of four or more days without a response through this portal.
What if my Parke order arrives damaged?
Parke's FAQ says a damaged-item claim must be submitted "within 5 days of delivery." It defines damages as "manufacturing defects, major stitching issues, noticeable fabric flaws, or any significant imperfections that impact the product's functionality or appearance when received," and states that "normal wear and tear or changes due to regular use over time are not considered damages." Separately, if an order has Parke's automatically added "Onward" package protection, Parke's FAQ states that a claim with Onward must be filed within 15 days after delivery for a damaged item, 2-15 days after delivery for a package marked delivered but not received, or 7-30 days from the last tracking update for a presumed-lost package; Onward's own Terms of Service separately set a general 60-day-from-purchase notice deadline for lost or damaged shipping-protection claims. One BBB complaint describes a stained, final-sale hoodie whose separate Onward claim was denied as cosmetic damage, and states the consumer did not get a response from Parke directly either.
Can I change or cancel a Parke order after placing it?
Parke's FAQ gives two different answers on the same page. One question, "Can I change or cancel my order once it has been placed?," answers: "You can make edits (like updating a shipping address) to your order 30 minutes after placing it on a typical day, and 60 minutes after placing it on Drop Days. Unfortunately, we cannot make any changes after that timeframe." The very next question, "Can I change my shipping address once my order has been placed?," answers: "Unfortunately, due to warehouse processing times, we are unable to change or edit your shipping address." A banner shown on Parke's own product pages adds a third, more absolute statement: "Once your order is placed, we're unable to make any changes." All three are Parke's own current wording; this page reports them rather than picking one, and advises contacting Parke's support portal immediately after placing an order if a change is needed.
Are Parke preorders final sale?
Per Parke's shipping policy, preorders are listed among the final-sale item categories that cannot be returned, exchanged, or credited, and the company's FAQ states plainly: "All preorders are final sale. When you place an order on preorder, the item is cut and sewn specifically for you, based on your order. For this reason, it is non-refundable and non-cancellable." Parke's FAQ adds that preorder turnaround "varies based on the collection and timeline," with the expected timeframe given on each product's page, and that if an order mixes a preorder item with in-stock items, "they will ship together once the preorder item is ready to ship."
Does Parke have a Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating?
Parke CPK LLC's BBB profile (Saint Petersburg, FL) is not BBB accredited and carries an F rating. BBB states its "Reasons for rating" as "Failure to respond to 3 complaint(s) filed against business," and its complaints tab shows 3 total complaints in the last 3 years, all 3 closed in the last 12 months, all marked "Unanswered." BBB lists 0 customer reviews for the business.
Who owns Parke?
Parke is operated as Parke CPK LLC, an active Florida LLC per the state's own Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) record. Business press (New Jersey Monthly, Inc.com) identifies Chelsea Parke Goles as the brand's founder and CEO, with New Jersey Monthly describing Kira Kramer as co-founder and COO. BBB's own listing names "Chelsea Kramer" as the LLC's Managing Member; Sunbiz's record for the LLC separately lists "KRAMER, CHELSEA P" as an Authorized Member at the company's Saint Petersburg address, which is consistent with (though does not by itself fully identify) BBB's listing; this page does not independently resolve which individual(s) the name refers to beyond what these two official/business records show.
What is "Onward" and does Parke automatically add it to my order?
Parke's FAQ states: "We automatically add Onward to your order to protect your package! With Onward, you'll be protected against lost, stolen or damaged packages." Claims are filed with Onward directly (not with Parke) — Parke's FAQ directs customers to "the email you received from Onward after placing your order, or ... this link (https://app.useonward.com/make-a-claim)" — with windows the FAQ lists as 2-15 days after delivery for a package marked delivered but not received, 7-30 days from the last tracking update for a presumed-lost package, and up to 15 days after delivery for a damaged item; approved claims bring "a refund, replacement or store credit," though shipping and the Onward charge itself are described as non-refundable. Onward's own Terms of Service, separately, set a general 60-day-from-purchase-date notice deadline for lost or damaged shipping-protection products — a longer, general window distinct from the specific claim-type windows above. If Onward is removed from an order, Parke's FAQ states "Parke is not responsible for your package once it has left our warehouse." A BBB complaint describes an Onward damage claim being denied as "cosmetic."
