Buyer Beware
February 13, 2025

I have been buying clothes from Venus for over 20 years. Recently their quality has gone down. I bought a sweater dress, after wearing it twice the right sleeve completely unraveled from the dress. I called Venus and all I got was it's not our policy to accept responsibility for poor quality, this must be your fault. This dress was $50! BUYER BEWARE! They quality is in the toilet and they don't care.

Delays with shipping
August 16, 2024

I have ordered many swimsuits from them. Typically nice products; however, some have fallen apart, turned strange color, etc. They do not ship promptly. Ordered several items on Monday and they did not ship out until Thursday. I will not receive the items in time for a trip now.

Return not happy
November 29, 2023

I have ordered several items from Venus but truly was disappointed when I had it returned and item that was crap. They actually charged me a restocking charge. This is the last time I will order from Venus. I don't believe that I should have to pay for restocking charge and also for the freight of $4.95. I hate pettiness and I'm truly through with Venus. I am cutting up their credit card

All of their clothing falls apart right outside of their return window and they refuse to take it back. They are rude to customers when they call in as well. Take your money elsewhere

Poor return policy for Canadians
September 23, 2023

I always purchase a size 14 in a swim suit. This one fit like a 12 and was very flimsy. The fact I paid over $120 Canadian and waited over 3 weeks for this suit was disappointing. Now I find out I have to make a trip to the post office and purchase a return label. I will also end up paying for shipping costs. I'm expecting the service will be slow and it will be weeks before the cost of the suit is returned to my credit card. Not a good company for Canadian buyers.

Epic Fail
July 19, 2023

Saw a cute blue lace one piece bathing suit. Description said runs small.order a size up. Since it was on clearance at 14.99 only size bigger than mine (I'm a 16) was 22.so I figured why not.it's cute and a Lil loose would be fine. Well it arrived today and didn't go past my hips.almost ZERO stretch! Never had a problem with venus pants.tops.skirts.boots.jackets etc. Maybe they should get out of the swimwear sector. Not worth returning it due to shipping fee so I'll keep until I lose 50lbs or give to a skinny friend!

Done purchasing
April 13, 2023

I have been a Venus customer for five years. I even bought my wedding dress from them. Love the clothes, they always fit but last dress was too tight in breast area. Tried to return dress, customer service does not respond after multiple attempts to reach them. They just lost a customer.

I had to return 3 pair of pants because they ran too big. Venus has a new return policy called, "Happy Return Bar". Well I'm not happy at all. They charged me a $7.84 return fee plus a promotional shipping adjustment for $6.95. So for the pleasure of trying on their jeans they charged me $11.90. Last time I will be ordering from them. I don't want to do business with a merchant that is sneaky.

Never again, just a huge pain in the a**
March 19, 2023

I purchased a dress, ordered it in 2 sizes. Kept the one that fit better, and want to return the other. I have to say their return policy is awful. If you start a return online, you will be stuck. Absolutely no changes, and when you call customer service, they tell you they can't do anything once a return is initiated. Absolutely done shopping here, too much of a hassle. A lot better options with easier returns out there.

Hi Janette! We're sorry that you were not happy with your return experience. When a return is processed online, unfortunately these are now done by a third party to help us with processing returns much faster, so we are unable to make changes. However, you can choose to print a shipping label (instead of dropping off your merchandise at a return bar), this will allow us to process your return in-house and make your requested changes to the return process. We would be glad to look into this further, please contact us at socialsupport@venus.com for further assistance.

Terrible purchase
January 14, 2023

I've purchased several items for years and my past couple purchases, I keep having issues. I purchased a deep plunge bra and it's awful - it won't stick (it's the correct size and I am not wearing any creams that can interfere with application), and it came dented. I originally flagged the dent and the customer service response was terrible - I think I'll stop purchasing in the future.

I've been a customer for years. The reviews speak for thereself. The clothes used to be cute and fit well but in the past year all has gone downhill.
In this day and age of free shipping Venus should get on board with that as well.
Plus side, returns are easy.

I have been buying from Venus on and off over the last three years. I always buy Sale items because their regular prices are too high (in my opinion). They are not upscale fashion clothes.

I have gotten *some* nice clothes, but have had to return way too many. The biggest problem has been that most items do not look as good in person as they do on the website. This is 'the straw that broke the camels back':

A couple months ago, Venus had a huge sale, where they gave discounts on already reduced prices, so I went on a shopping spree. Big mistake. I ended up returning 14 of 15 items! The reason: because they were not as nice looking in person as they were in the photos, and most of the sizes were way off (too big). One item they sent was a replacement for the one I ordered, but it wasn't at all what I ordered. I called them and was told that the item I wanted was not available, so the shipper just picked something else out to replace it, which is ridiculous... it wasn't anything like the item I ordered. They should have just left it out and gave me a credit for it, but no, they sent me a real ugly item in place of the one they did not have. AND NOW TOP IT OFF WITH THIS: THEY CHARGED ME A RESTOCK FEE FOR EACH RETURNED ITEM, even though the problem was on their end (wrong description, poor quality, poor fit, etc.). I ended up losing too much money to ever want to shop their again, which is their loss. I don't believe it is fair to charge a customer a restock fee on every single item... maybe one fee for all items in an order, but not a fee for each item. That kind of business is going to hurt them in the long run. They lost me as a customer, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

UPDATE: Venus responded to this review asking me to contact them. I contacted them when I found out my refund would take a month or longer and they didn't offer any help at all, but said that it was "their policy" and I would have to wait. So no, I will not be contacting them or having anything more to do with them.

Best fitting swimwear
September 7, 2022

I have been shopping with Venus for years! If you follow the sizing directions the swimwear is a perfect fit. When I lived up north my Venus swimwear lasted for YEARS! Now that I live in FL and swim all year I need to replace them every 2-3 years! The fit is perfect! I rinse them out in cold water after use but no other special care. Many times I get new ones just because I am tired of the old ones, not because they are worn out! I wait for the end of season (no such thing in FL!) and buy 4-5 each year. Great company and great products. Have had a problem only once and I received a replacement promptly. Have been shopping with them for 20 years!

They make returns complicated and expensive. They teamed up with some return company no one has ever heard of. The closest one is 70 miles from me. Then if you return by mail you have to pay to ship the item(s) back and pay a restock fee. You certainly don't experience this through Amazon, Target, Walmart, or Marshals online. This return is my last. I'm done with them. I will never order there again. Waste of time and finances. Also, the quality of their clothing has gone downhill. Everything is VERY cheaply made. It wasn't like that in the past. Each year it gets cheaper and cheaper.
