I've been eyeing this website for a long time because I really wanted a swimsuit that didn't cause tan lines. These are high-end swimsuits, but the deals make it worth it, and I'm so excited to wear m... See more

Terrible online service, they don't pay for the return label

The sizes are completely wrong and when you ask to return, they offer many things but never the full cost. They are not willing to pay for the return label, which is completely absurd since the cost of the return is higher than the item.

Terrible company, terrible policies, they should not be selling online at all.

Terrible

Yeah…. Like the other reviewers stated this site is absolutely unprofessional a complete scam. Copy and pasted from my email: “We're more than happy to assist you with the return, however, the cost of the return is expensive so we'd like to offer you a 50% refund of the price for the item you wish to return or a store credit of the equivalent amount and you can use the items you have as a gift to someone special during a special occasion or holiday season. This will save you from the hassle of returning the items received.” What??? I did check the return policy and it said nothing about a 50 percent refund only. They also sent me the wrong bottoms. They sent me a thong when I ordered cheeky bottoms and the front of it doesn’t even cover my whole crotch (I’m a size 2 for reference ). Compete waste of money. I’m so mad I didn’t check the site reviews before purchasing, which is something I usually do.

This company is a SCAM to sell product and make it impossible to return

This company is such a scam. I paid $110 for a bathing suit that does not fit. In order to start a return you have to email somebody and wait a week till they get back to you. I was then offered a code to purchase my next bathing suit which was $40 off my next purchase. They said for me to “gift” the original bathing suit and purchase another at $70. I was not happy with this response, they followed up with an email stating to ship the return to Bulgaria to a random person at my expense. They did remind me that I have 30 days from receiving the bathing suit to return it so now I am already two weeks down. Just trying to communicate how to return the bathing suit. by the time this bathing suit gets to Bulgaria it will be over 30 days and I will be out all of the money. do not shop Better Tan Swim! The suit is cheap. Sizing is so far off!

Update.. months later. Still waiting for my refund with 5-6 unanswered emails from this company. I’ll dispute this on my credit card as I see this is the only way.

Additionally, I apologize for any confusion regarding the return shipping instructions and the suggestion to ship the item to Bulgaria at your expense.

Your feedback regarding the return process and communication is invaluable, and I will make sure to address these issues with the relevant teams to ensure a smoother and more efficient experience for our customers in the future.

Extremely misleading return policy

Extremely misleading return policy. Their refund is not a full refund (only 50% offered despite being new, no tags removed, unworn) or they make you get store credit. This is despite their swimsuits being low quality and extremely small, cheap feeling material. Do not buy from this company.

Hi Katie,

I'm sincerely sorry to hear about the confusion and dissatisfaction with our return policy and the quality of our products. It's certainly not the experience we want our customers to have.

Regarding the 50% offer, please accept my apologies for any misunderstanding. The offer was intended to provide an alternative solution to returning the item, aiming to save you the hassle of shipping it back. However, I understand your frustration if this was not made clear or if it did not meet your expectations. Please note that you can proceed with the return process if you wish to and the return instructions will be provided to you.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions.

Best,

Customer service is bad sizing inconsistent

Customer service is rude and non responsive.
Sizing is inconsistent and return policy must be read in full. I canceled my order before they shipped it and they still sent it out and refused to cancel. I begged for a return or exchange for larger size because the sizing was grossly wrong from regular sizes and they refused and eventually stopped replying to my emails. At least, if they would exchange my suit, I would be able to actually wear it.
Don’t buy, quality is also poor for the price. Into the garbage it goes.

Hi Amanda,

Regarding cancellations, I understand your frustration. Our policy states that orders can only be canceled within 24 hours from the date of purchase. We received your request 24 hours after your the order was placed and this is the reason why changes can no longer be made. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Your satisfaction is important to us, and we want to make things right. Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you've experienced.

Helpful customer service

Helpful customer service. They were quick with a response when I had a sizing issue, and they started an exchange quickly. Although I did have to pay to send the package back, it was worth it for me because I really wanted one of their bathing suits. Out of pocket return fees is something to be aware of if you live far away from the company. Another tip— to me, their sizing runs small. However, my experience with their customer service team was easy! I would order from them again now that I know my size on their website :)

Experience was OK just make sure you know your size

I ordered my normal size for a one piece that was about $110. It didn’t fit but to return it I’d have to pay for shipping myself which to Bulgaria the cheapest I could find was $70. After a good amount of back and forth they offered me a 50% refund and I keep the swimsuit. I appreciate the gesture and at least I get some money back. And, will give the swimsuit to a friend 🤷‍♀️
