I've ordered Venus for many years. The string bikinis with the moderate cut is my style of choice. I ordered two new ones in the same size I always get and it barely covered my bottom. I compared it to older suits I had in the exact same cut and size and the new bottoms are literally two inches smaller! Why would they do this? I tried ordering a size up and they were still too narrow to comfortably wear in front of anyone and very uncomfortable to wear period. The cut is now like the old rio cut used to be. Got a suit at Target that fit better Venus. Very sad.
They have the rudest most indignant people handling their customer service. Nothing from their clothing lines is worth dealing with their company. You can find cuter, better quality merchandise from companies who are much easier and kinder to work with than them.
My credit card was charged $43.95 for a backorder item that was never ordered. If they had sent a backorder confirmation email, I would have contacted venus.com immediately. They refused refund and can only suggest "return to sender" with the return label they will mail me. ($6.95).

I've had to return many items the latest being a short blue dress with the "cold shoulder" and lace trim on sleeves. The materials were like something you'd find in your great grandmas closet I've bought shorts as well from them and they should fit women in their 60s not like what the photos show. I'm extremely disappointed in their line of "products"

Ok people that are writing negative reviews,, please look you don't pay much for the nice clothes you get a good quality., if your lazy and put them on the washer then put them on the dryer they well shink,, I did these ones bout now I wash them in gentle wash then let them air dry to take care of my items,,, is just like anything,, so far I love every single piece of clothing I have bough,,, I'm not rich so the prices are with in my spence range and budget,,, love Venus,!,, we'll keep buying my items here,,,,
My closet is all Venus clothes now. I don't want to wear anything else. I first found Venus when I was going on a cruise. I ordered in a couple of cover-ups and they were so cute when they came in that I went back to the site to shop for other things and wound up spending around $600 for everything I needed for the 11 day cruise. I got more compliments than my girlfriend who bought all her stuff at Tommy Bahama and paid a King's ransom for it. I have gotten several of my friends hooked on Venus too and we constantly text each other when cute dresses go on sale. I'm getting married in just a few days and I'm wearing a Venus wedding dress. All my bridesmaids are wearing Venus dresses and they love them and these don't break the bank. I can't recommend this company more highly. Everyone that works there is top notch and very helpful and gracious. My experience has been wonderful! Don't be afraid to buy from them. You won't find cuter clothes at a more reasonable price anywhere else.
I've ordered once before from Venus. Dress came quickly and no issues. Today I felt I was a victim of bait and switch. Long story short - received an email for 30% off one item. Dropped 2 items in my cart -a jumpsuit and a dress. The sale price of the jumpsuit was listed as 24.99 / 17.49 with the 30% off; dress 29. First problem why not take the discount off the more expensive item. Clicked back because I wanted to look at another item. When I went back to the cart. The jumpsuit was 39.00 and the discount would not apply to either item. Opened a chat. No help. She offered to order at the higher prices, I said no thanks and expressed my concerns about the higher prices being returned. Something very odd!

Why can your company not get orders right? I order something on line and sent me something totally different. I did not order a tent, I ordered an outfit to my size(6). I have been a long time customer for 5 years, now they just lost this customer. This is not good business...
This was first time ever ordering from Venus. I will not make that mistake again. I bought 2 cover ups and 1 maxi dress. The 2 cover ups are super sheer like saran wrap. The maxi dress was not flattering at all. I sent back the items and they charged me 4.95 for shipping and 6.95 for a return label fee? Isn't this the cost of doing business? I will never order from them again.

I purchased several items recently and due to poor quality returned a couple of the tops. Mind you, non of it was great value - or quality, but some I just kept. They charge this outrageous "return label fee" in addition to their return shipping charges. I returned $61.00 in merchandise, and was charged a $34 return labe fee as well as $10 shipping charges. Then when I tried contacting customer service they would never give me any answer what-so ever! Horrible company!
I ordered some dresses then several swimsuits. The dresses were not impressive. I also had a very hard time finding. A bikini top that fit me. I ordered my bra size and they were huge. I combined the 2 orders into one package to return. I kept each order separate and sent paperwork with each. I used their return postage and expected the deduction from the returns. Although I was hoping they would only deduct from one order, no such luck. But what was unexpected was they ADDED shipping charges for shipping the items to me in the first place! I used a free shipping promo and they made me pay shipping when I returned. That is a deal breaker for me. They sell overpriced, ill fitting polyester, add deceiving practices and I am gone.

The quality of every single product I ordered was well below expectations and not worth the price.
Return labels provided are not free and cost you more than if you mail products back to them. Horrible costumer service. Hard to believe this is a viable company.
We are sorry that you are not happy with your purchase, Gigi. Could you please email us at socialsupport@venus.com, so we may look at your account?
I've ordered lots of clothes from them very good selection but half of everything I've gotten have been ruined it is poorly sewed together I've spent over$100 getting them fixed some are unfixable all the tags say do not dry clean this is cause so you would spent more $ on replacing ruined items
I'm surprised of all the negative reviews, I've been ordering from venus for about 3 years now and have never had a problem with the pictured item as-is, the size or returns. I receive compliments from all the items I've purchased.
I placed an order for 3 items on 2/23. My delivery date was supposed to be 3/1. I tracked the shipping several times as it got closer to my address. Well... 3/1 came and went with no package received. Now my delivery date jumped to 3/9 and according to the tracker the package hasn't left Florida yet. Not pleased as I wanted to wear one of the tops to an event this weekend.

Venus is a sold, trustworthy co. With affordable, decent quality items and I've been ordering from Venus for yrs. On occasion, I do return/exchange items but it is so easy to do so it's not a hassle at all. Your not happy, they promptly refund your money.Not so sure about this sitejabber-ppl say it's a SCAM so my advise-Be Careful and makes sure it's a co. W/in the states!
We are so happy we were able to provide you with a 5 star experience. We love hearing from our customers and appreciate you taking the time to leave a review!
I order online. A lot. I'm good at it. Do not, I repeat do not order from Venus. They charged me $20 to return a $39 skirt. I will end up getting it back from AMEX but no company should be allowed to scam you like this. I even asked about return costs before I ordered. Very unethical.
I have never been able to order clothes online, till NOW. They are fabulous! People stop me wherever I go and I love the fit, the clothes wash well and they last. Customer service is amazing!
Thank you for being here!
Poooor customer service. Everything would probably be ok if you don't have to cancel or change your order. Used online chat two times and had to pull every word out of these people. Felt like they are not whiling to help at all. Last time the girl didn't even say goodbye or asked if there was anything else I had to ask, but just closed the chat:(
I have read a couple of reviews below on quality and would like to say that quality might depend on items. Some of them come as they have on pictures and not bad quality, but others might be totally not what is expected.
Had to contact Paypal due to not receiving refund... did receive a partial refund. If you return an item using pre-paid label it's $6.95 out of your pocket ( customer service rep said $7.95, and was clueless. I also found out that shipping to me, is non-refundable, which I believe is standard for most companies. HOWEVER, when you add it altogether, the shipping, return shipping and refund, they still short changed me nearly $5... I had to fight to get that refunded... which she finally did. I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE again, nor will I recommend this company to anyone...

Answer: I've been buying from Venus FOR YEARS(!) so I was so surprised at all the bad reviews. Yes, occasionally I've been unhappy with a purchase BUT it's rare; and yes, there was a couple of items that I found "cheap-looking" (but I'm super-careful to read the material description prior to purchase - sometimes you can just tell). Their sizing surprises me though... I'm usually a large in regular & a XL in juniors BUT I always wear a Medium in Venus clothing (5'1", 115 lbs, 36D) - I'm thinking that they cater to the "busty"? (Or maybe the clothes ARE made in China?) Who knows... don't care... their clothes are different from anywhere else & I always get compliments - especially from my husband! However, after 15 + yrs as a customer, I must admit I was unaware they offered free returns (good to know :), but happy I've only returned 2 or 3 items & didn't have any issues - re-packed (w/in 30 days), dropped at PO & rec'd credit on my CC. My ONLY complaint with Venus is the prices; the trick is to wait for a sale (and PS, there prices change every 24-72 hours - NOT kidding!) Everyone has an opinion... if YOU like their clothes, give them a try & form your own - you may just be missing out on fashions that'll look great on you!

Answer: THESE DRESSES RUN VERY LONG! THE MODELS TEND TO BE 5 FT 9 IN. OR TALLER! I AM 5 FEET 4 INCHES SO I DO NOT ORDER ANY MAXI DRESSES... LOOK/CHECK TO SEE IF THERE ARE PETITE OPTIONS FOR THESE DRESSES. GOOD LUCK!
Answer: The quality of these closes are horrible! I bought a sweatshirt and the large pocket on the front was down on crooked and the seams on both sides were very uneven. The $70 boots I bought were awful. They both said 7 1/2 but 1 didn't fit at all and they both had holes in the shoes.
Answer: I am a perfect size 8 in say an Old Navy sweater which makes me a M. I am a M with Venus I feel their sizes are way closer to being realistic than say Victoria Secret. Apparently at Victoria Secrets no one has arms or hips. I'm 5'5,135 lbs, size 8 in normal close yet if I pay alot of money for say a dress that dress could be a 6, like at Nordstroms, Yet if I went into say Forever 21 just to get a shirt/sweater/dress chances are I would purchase a Large because they cater to teens. Just because I am 53 does not mean I want to dress "old". LOVE Venus clothes. Their returns are fine too, I found them easy and friendly to work with. Hope this helps. Smiles, Joanne
Answer: I would go with the medium. I found they run a lil big.
Answer: Complete junk dont waste your money!
Answer: I think some of their styles are knock-offs of Cache. Unfortunately, Cache is closing shop... which really bums me out!
