Amazing experience

Apart from the bikini fitting absolutely perfect (the material & quality is very luxurious), the customer service is beyond great! I can't wait to go for my first swim :) Remember, if you have a bubble butt like myself, take a size up. Big thank you again to Sarah, from customer service for support!!

Sarah from customer service is the best, go to her for help with your purchase! Delivery was super fast, as well as return and exchange.
Only one thing, don't buy your regular size but run through the "find my fit".

Worse online brand I had to deal with

Worse online brand I had to deal with. Their lack on stock and they force you to keep their unworn pieces.

I purchased one of their signature sets and the measurements in the website didn’t matched when the top arrived. I got a voucher “because they don’t do refunds” and I was happy with that at the time, and I kept the bottom in the same conditions of arrival (package, sealed, with tags, etc, as I was expecting to be able to size down. I never even tried on without underwear as I don’t trust new pieces on my body unless I have washed them before hand. Unfortunately the piece is always sold out in their website and After waiting for more than 3 weeks for the item to be available I decided to reach out to customer service, and they confirmed that due they didn’t have the stock I was gonna be able to return the bottom and get the money back. I even sent them the photos of the bottom that it was in the exactly same conditions as I received it. After a week they returned an email and sent me a photo of a bottom with out seals and said there is a “spot” in it and I won’t be able to get a refund. After even paying twice for the return of each piece. Waste of many and time. I hope I never have to deal with them ever again. It’s just a terrible “social media” brand.

Hi Stefanny, you returned bottoms without the panty liner that were marked. Our hygiene policies are strict and we can't accept bottoms back without a liner, or with a mark/stain.

The most luxury, unique, quality swimwear. The colours and the prints are always incredible. Each time I contact customer service they are always super helpful and fast to reply. Every single bikini from sommer swim is absolutely gorgeous! I would recommend to anyone!

Incredible service, beautiful designs!

I have been a loyal customer of this brand for the last 4 years. The last two orders I placed had delivery issues, which was NOT the fault of Sommer Swim. The customer service I received in remedying the issue, even though they did not cause it, not once, but twice, was incredible and so appreciated. I highly recommend this brand both for its high quality and unique designs, but also for the tireless work of the support staff.

Thieves - stay away

The last email I received was simply this "I can't explain in any more detail - your order is Not Currently Refundable." LOL, of course it's not when you want to keep the money that I have asked to be returned to me repeatedly. Also, the sizing runs extremely small so don't buy from them, there is no peace of mind knowing you can get a refund if the items aren't right for you.

We experienced a mishap with a lost parcel returned to the store, which had nothing at all to do with Sommer Swim, it was a mailing issue, but I emailed Sarah who was only too happy to help out, I can't thank Sarah and Sommer Swim enough for resolving our issue, Sarah was fast and efficient in replying to emails straight away and taking the stress out of it all. We couldn't recommend Sommer Swim highly enough; their product and customer service are amazing. You will not be disappointed only elated.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Threatened me when they failed to deliver what I purchased. Absolute disgrace of a "business". More of a ratchet ghetto operation.

Reply to response: 1. Your team never emailed me back.
2. The package was nowhere to be found.
3. LOL I didn’t realize 200 dollars was “a large transaction”. That’s pocket change, and I’d have no reason to file a false dispute over 200 dollars. I make twice that an hour. 😂

*once again, 200 dollars is not “significant”.

Hi Jessica, if the tracking states delivery then the parcel has been delivered. If there is a very odd occasion that a parcel hasn't been delivered when the tracking states that it has then a claim needs to occur which we will walk you through. We cannot progress further in such an instance until a claim has been made which the team would have professionally advised.

Response 1: we have no emails of late from a Jessica so assumed this was related to someone else as we only have 1 significant charge back currently. We actually have no idea which customer or order you are, and if your parcel of $200 was not received despite tracking showing it was, then a claim can easily be made. If you can forward your prior email to info@sommerswim.com the team will happily assist with a claim - as previously we have no recent emails from 'Jessica' and without an order number to reference can't assist further. Additionally when we asked for your customer information you provided an email which does not relate to an orders on any of our stores, and did not advise an order number. We can't assist you when you have not identified your order number.

Disappointing.

Unfortunately I have to agree with the sentiment of many here. You had better hope you get the right size because their returns policy and customer service are very disappointing.

Hi James, bottoms were sent to you new and were returned with bodily fluid on them. We will Never Accept a return which has marks or stains on them as we simply cannot add these back to our inventory as this goes against our strict hygiene policy and I'm sure you can appreciate would be completely unfair for us to then send to another customer. We took photos of this stain and also sent it to you as evidence. We have nothing to gain by rejecting returns, absolutely nothing. But we simply cannot accept back stained bottoms. Hygiene matters. We can see that you have purchased a new bottom and trust our policies are clear.

THIEVES!

I ordered almost $700 worth of bathing suits and then returned to get the correct sizes. They never gave me my money back or the bathing suits. I emailed countless times and after 14 business days without the product or money they stopped responding. I’m in the middle of disputing it with my bank. Also, The bathing suit quality does not match the price. The only reason I wanted them was because of the unique look of the fabric but after the horrible customer service and THEFT I’d prefer to take my money somewhere else.

Hi Guillermina, this review isn't true as customer care have been proactively communicating with our warehouse in an attempt to locate your return goods and have actually responded to you an hour ago. The theory is that you have possibly returned goods without a completed Return Form which makes them unable to be identified. We are a reputable company who facilitate many returns and will happily issue a store credit note once the return goods can be identified as being yours.

Very happy customer!

Sarah in customer service was great; very helpful, eased my stress of a quick return pre Europe and her communication was phenomenally prompt. The bikini’s themselves are beautiful! Luxurious fabric, they fit like a glove and the colours are stunning. Quick delivery; will definitely be purchasing again! Hannah x

Terrible return policy and customer service

The most insane return policy. You have to pay to ship back, it’s only store credit, and once they receive is they take 7-10 days to issue store credit. Absolutely terrible and rude customer service. I will never order from them again.

Hey Zoe, our return policies are clear on store and we achieve those deliverables outlined. Sorry that the process wasn't desirable for you. We have tried our best to accomodate customers by allowing for local returns which means cheaper shipping costs, and quicker delivery times.

Avoid Sommerswim

I recently had the most disappointing and infuriating experience with Sommerswim that left me feeling utterly robbed and disheartened. Let me share my horrendous encounter with their outrageous hygiene policy.

I ordered a bikini bottom from Sommerswim, excited to wear it on my upcoming vacation. However, when the package finally arrived and I opened it, I was met with a nasty surprise – a microscopic blemish on the fabric that could barely even be called a stain! I could hardly see it with my naked eye, but their policy allegedly prohibits returns for "hygiene reasons."

Frustrated but still hopeful, I reached out to their customer service, thinking they'd be understanding and reasonable. But alas, I was gravely mistaken. Their representative responded with a pre-written, cold-hearted template, emphasizing that they strictly adhere to their hygiene policy and thus could not accept the return. Are they serious? It was a minuscule imperfection, barely noticeable!

I had never felt so cheated in my life. This bikini bottom cost me a whopping $89, and now it's utterly useless because of their absurdly rigid and inflexible policy. It's as if they don't care about customer satisfaction or repeat business at all. Well, guess what, Sommerswim? You've lost me as a customer forever.

I can't fathom how a company can have such an unyielding stance on returns, especially for something as trivial as this. They preach about offering quality products and exceptional customer service, but they completely fail to deliver on the latter. It's evident that they care more about making a quick buck than ensuring their customers are happy and content with their purchases.

To everyone reading this, I implore you to stay away from Sommerswim. Save your hard-earned money for a brand that actually values their customers and offers a reasonable return policy. I wouldn't wish this infuriating experience on my worst enemy.

In conclusion, Sommerswim's hygiene policy is nothing short of a scam, and I urge everyone to steer clear of this heartless and money-grabbing company. My $89 may be gone, but I won't let them get away with treating their customers so callously. Spread the word – avoid Sommerswim at all costs!

Hi Roisin, this is a complete lie on your behalf. You ordered goods with were sent in new condition. You requested an return to refund, which we agreed to in exception.

I will copy and paste the email text which you sent our team which was, " I purchased a bikini from sommer swim and got it delivered the other day. While unfortunately the bikini is stunning, it doesnt suit me at all - the cut of the bikini doesn't work for my body shape. I have looked through all of the bikinis on your company website and while they are all stunning I don't see any that would suit me really. Once I return my order is there any way I could get a refund instead of a store credit note?"

You then sent back SOILED bottoms which were of course rejected on arrival as we have strict hygiene policies. You were sent the photo of the soiled bottoms which a clearly visible stain right next to the panty liner. This was not a 'miniscule imperfection' as if the item was sent to you with a flaw in the product, this was a soiled bottom which has been tried on and bodily fluids have been left to put it in the most frank manner.

Not only were you sent the photo of this, the item was also returned to you which you have been notified of.

You have completely made up a story as if you were delivered goods that were stained, and reach out to to notify us and then were refused a return. There was nothing callous or calculated about our teams handing of your request and in fact we agreed to offer a refund in exception for the return, which we are not required to offer. Yet on receipt of the items the bottom was clearly stained and as a result immediately rejected.

Please don't think we would accept bottoms back which are stained and marked and then try to on-sell these to our customers because we certainly will not.

Best investment in swimwear!

Best investment in swimwear! Whenever I am at the beach wearing my Sommer Swim, people approach and compliment the colour and style. I have become an absolute regular and purchase several pieces each season :)
