I have had no problems with service, shipping, quality or size. I get tons of compliments when I wear the sun dresses and tops I had bought. They are different than you can buy at a store. I like earning rewards, when I use the cards. And the times I've called in, I had no problems with customer service. I have never had to return anything, so I can't speak on that. The swimwear is pricy, but it seems to be everywhere.

If I could give this company zero stars I would! I ordered many swim suites to try on, which was over the $75 for free shipping. But they still charged me for shipping and sent 2 items I did not order and there were 2 items that I did order that were not in the box. Nothing fit as it should and I had to send everything back. They informed me that I was going to be charged for the 2 items that I did not receive because they were not in the returned box! I called them and received horrible customer service. They will not refund me for those missing items still! I will never give my bossiness to Venus ever again, nor recommend them to anyone!

A truly unpleasant experience! If you want to avoid yourself a serious headache avoid it all cost. Sizes are comical - I purchased a couple of items of the same size and one could fit me twice while the other one I couldn't fit in. Trying to return was another tragicomedy. They messed up my refund 3 times! I couldn't for the life of me explain to the agent how 112 -58 = 54. The agent's solution was to put me on hold indefinitely, classy! After the sixth call I got it all sorted out but one thing is for sure - never again.

Love Venus clothes
November 25, 2016

I'm not sure where all of the negative reviews are coming from but I have been ordering from Venus for several years now and have been very happy with the quality. I've had some shirts that I've had for a few years and are still going strong. As far as the customer service, I have never had a better experience with any other company. Always helpful, fast delivery and if I have any returns, they couldn't be easier!

I ordered a dress from Venus. I am about 5'2,115 pounds. So I ordered a size 2, I looked at the size chart and it seemingly should fit perfect, I always order clothes and dresses online and usually have no trouble with sizing. I ordered 2 day shipping and received it when I was supposed to. The dress was about $64, it looked very elegant in the picture. In person it looked very cheap quality, and it had a side zipper and the bottom was HUGE on me but at my ribcage where I am the smallest was too tight. You literally had to have the smallest waist but a huge butt and thighs to fit in it. Not pleased. I've ordered dresses for $15 from other sites that have great fit and look expensive. And they don't offer free returns either!

RIP OFF
December 1, 2017

Poor quality and when you pay for overnight shipping you may get it within 3 business days if you are lucky. When you inquire why it didn't get sent out overnight you get a bunch of excuses and computer robot like answers. Just don't bother with them. They are cheap for a reason.

I wanted to purchase the Cold shoulder ribbed top size L color mint. It showed that it would be available for purchase as of the 17th of April. But it already sold out way before. This was 2 1/2 weeks ago. I called customer service and they said it was no longer in stock. And that they don't know when It will be back in stock. They said to keep checking online to see when it was available. Still says it's no longer available. Very disappointing.

Bait and Switch
March 4, 2016

I ordered some dresses and wedges for my vacation to Trinidad and Tobago. One of the dresses looked like a cheap fabric print. The dresses were very thin poor quality. The "wedges" I ordered were not wedges at all. Never buying from them again.

What happens when you say you haven't received my return? I sent it with their label, but stupid me didn't keep the tracking tag. It had my return address on it, but why wouldn't it get to them? I can't track it. It's been well over 14 business days and nothing. They simply said if we can't track it there is no proof I sent it back. What happens to my $400 worth of items I sent back?

This company's sizing is so mixed up. The quality is not the greatest and there is no return to the company if you live in Canada. I have to pay $25 to ship back 2 items. I sent them an email as they did not return my full amount... I have sent 2 emails and no reply and it has been 2 months.

I would not recommend this company.

Returns
November 30, 2021

After sending back 3 items I received a email that a credit had been processed. I called the company to get the credit returned to my credit card. After spending over 30-40 minutes with customer service and with a promise that the money would be returned to my card and sending multiple emails I did not get my return processed. After many attempts when I tried to get credit in the wallet to use up the $95.64 it states it is expired. After I paid in full they continue to process fees. Then charge late fees when you don't even know you owe. I will never shop Venus again. Poor customer service, poor emails, poor returns, poor phone service of not telling the truth and putting you on hold. To bad as I liked the clothing but not the service. I will continue to spread the word of the poor overall business that Venus offers.

Super Cheap Material!
April 15, 2015

If I could give Venus 0 Stars I would! The clothes are just cheaply made, the material is very thin and the colors are definitely not the same as the pictures. Save your money and please buy somewhere else. I usually get all of my clothes from NY&C and Express but I wanted to give these people a try because the clothes looked so pretty and they kept sending me catalogues in the mail therefore I was like ok let me give them a try. NEVER AGAIN! I just returned my entire order and waiting for a refund.

Scam!
August 22, 2017

This place is a scam, they make money off shipping charges. They shipped me the completely wrong merchandise, I returned it using their shipping lable, and they charged me the shipping fee! I argued with Trina for 10 minutes that the error was THEIRS! Had to threaten to get my bank involved, and now she says the refund will appear in 5 days. We'll see.

So I've been ordering from Venus for a while. I think in the past two years I've only returned two items. The most recent item I purchased a few weeks ago I had to return because the dress with practically see-through. I went on the site to leave a review but no where on the site can you leave one. I went on the live chat and the employee told me that only selected people are chosen to leave a review, and are emailed when they are chosen. To me, that is shady and a way to cover up poor quality. Otherwise, I've never had a problem with returns, shipping, etc. This just seemed very odd to me.

Hi Jocelyn, we do understand your frustrations. Although we don’t have a link on the website to provide reviews directly, we are starting a process to send an email to all customers approximately 3 weeks after their purchase to solicit a rating of the items purchased. We appreciate our customer feedback whether the feedback is good or bad. We apologize for any mis-information. Please kindly note, these reviews are handled by a third party which verifies the buyer purchased the item which is why the reviews can not be submitted directly to our website. If you have any further questions, please e-mail us at socialsupport@venus.com and we will be happy to assist you.

I have ordered a few things now. Some for my daughter and some for me. We both love the quality of the clothing and it fits true to size. I also have a friend ordering from this site. Some stuff can be back ordered but they make sure you know before you place your order. Highly recommend this site and I will definitely be ordering more as well as telling other people! Love love love!

Cheap clothing
October 22, 2020

I couldn't find anywhere on the site to leave a review. My first time ordering and the clothes look cute online and seem to have good reviews online. Two of the three dresses i ordered were super cheap fabric. One dress i could see through it, it was so thin. Definitely was not worth $39. Target has better quality for that price. I kept one dress ( i had to regardless since it was a final sale) but luckily it was the best of the bunch. Probably wouldn't order again. Based on reviews, now I'm afraid of my return. Hopefully it goes through smoothly.

They suck!
October 24, 2019

If I could I would give them zero stars. They suck. I never received my order but they certainly received my money. This company is nothing but a scam! Don't buy from them. This will teach me to order anything I see on Facebook. Lesson learned.

Awful customer service. The representatives online are so unhelpful and rude it's ridiculous. Their clothes never look the same in person either. They are definitely using tricks like pinning to make them look good in the catalogs.

Second review
April 6, 2016

I received my products yesterday and wanted to return them for a full refund. Of cause the terrible customer service wouldn't allow it. Not only do I have to pay shipping and handling but to use the return slip YES a piece of paper they will charge me for it. WTF seriously. Very last time I buy from them. Expensive cloths that are cheap and fall apart easy. Wish I could show you all a picture of what I got when I took it right out of the bag.
