Love Venus!
October 12, 2017

I've placed many orders with Venus.com and I've always received it quickly. All of their items are true to size and comfortable. Of the many orders that I've placed, only one was shipped incorrectly. Mine and another customers orders were accidentally switched. When I called, I spoke to Helen and she was absolutely helpful. She overnight my correct order and did not charge anything to ship the incorrect items back. Only one item has ever not fit but my sister could wear it, so it worked out. Love this company and I will continue to shop here!

They literally ruined my checking account by processing multiple charges without authorization for one order. I spent days trying to correct a charge that a supervisor issued to my account when she was supposed to actually credit the first additional charge. I ended up having to endure a magnitude of consequences after three charges went through my account instead of one and the episode cost me over $100.00 in fees overall. This was after three other charges were processed and then reversed. There have been a dozen transactions through my bank account over one purchase.
I spoke with another supervisor who told me I had to call my bank and ask them to reverse the extra charges from Venus and gave me a random authorization number which she could not define to any degree. My bank ended up having to apply stop pays on my account, but the funds can remain unavailable to me for up to a ten day process.
I had received a catalog by mistake and couldn't have more regret about having responded to the marketing and placing my first order without looking up reviews about this company.
Venus is literally FRAUDULENT!
In addition, I used my billing address at my P. O. Box as a shipping address. I was told I needed a physical address to process my VISA, but the representative would add a special note to my order making sure the order was sent to my P. O. Box. Two days after my order was placed I had not received a confirmation email, so called & found out the order was processed and shipped to the physical address where I cannot receive packages. I am literally exhausted from the hours of phone calls through the three days after placing a simple order. I am astounded by this ridiculous episode and won't be fully recovered from it until my funds are finally released again.
What a huge mistake!

These companies deliver and the product is good quality. I ordered a product from here and they cannot provide a tracking number. I should've listened to the reviews. Customer service is terrible. Take forever to answer. Nobody wants to help you out.

Stay AWAY. Order from a more secure company with better reviews.

I received an e-mail informing me of a 50% sale Venus was having, I went on their site found some things I would of ordered but decided not to do to their false advertising. I sent their customer service an e-mail informing them that $3.00 off a $40.00 item is absolutely in no way 50% off and that 50% of $40 is actually $20. If anyone decides to order from Venus please be aware that they are false advertising their sales.

Bad customer service
October 11, 2017

Refunds take over 3 weeks. Promises go unfulfilled.
Some of the clothing are ok. Bathing suit fell a part after 1 wash. Will not order from Venus again.

My daughter bought a dress, tried it on and the strap broke. They sent us another dress and the strap broke again while my daughter was at her school dance. I asked to return the dress for a refund and they would only offer store credit. I would have thought this fair if two separate dresses had not had the same issue - clearly it is a defective design and/or part (the piece connecting the strap to the dress).

I am horrified at the quality of the products and the customer service of these people. They hang up on you repeatedly. Please note that the wash once will apply to this group... meaning once you wash it, it will fall apart. I tried to return an item outside of their policy even though they lost the order and I did not receive it in time for my trip, and they would not accept the return by the time I was going to use it again. One way return policy even though all the items are still selling on their site. Their sizes are out of wack, and the quality sucks. Spend your money elsewhere folks.

Very disappointed
October 7, 2017

I ordered 2 shirts, 2 skirts a dress 2 pair of pants. 1 skirt was missing. The other skirt was irregular! The applique was sewn scrunched up. The dress was cheap looking and tge color was dingy, the legging pants were not as pictured and the other pants ran small. The shirt medium (my size) was too tight, but the large fit better. I'm very disappointed and sending almost everything back.

Prices not great for most items, and I wasn't happy with the jumpsuit I ordered. I would have returned it, but having to pay the shipping costs coming and going, I would have incurred about 50% of the original cost of the merchandise, so I decided to keep the item. I'm not ordering from them again. Who doesn't have free return shipping for unsatisfactory items, in this day and age? Walmart & Amazon have stuff at least as good for less, and no-questions-asked returns.

I was nervous when I read some of the negative reviews about this company, especially because the clothes aren't cheap, price wise. I ordered a dress for a wedding and it came and was exactly like the picture! It was true to size and the material was nice. I don't know what some of the negative comments are coming from. It also shipped fast and came when it said it was going to. I would order from Venus again.

I love Venus!
October 2, 2017

I have purchased clothes from venus for 3 years now. Not only do they run true to size but the clothes are adorable. I wish they would get in some tall pants and jeans. An no, 35" inseam is not long. I'm talking 37 or 38". Their clothes have always been quality and have fit wonderfully! I would recommend them to anyone!

Do not shop here!
September 29, 2017

I mail ordered a swim suit and got to pay $7.95 shipping and handling, plus the price of the swim suit, to have it delivered. They arrived in a timely manner. The suit fit like crap. When I wanted to return it, i had to pay a $6.95 return charge. So, I had to pay $15.00 to try the darn thing on. Bad customer satisifation policy in that you make your profits on transport fees. Bad, bad...

I paid extra to receive two suits in two days for a vacation. When they were not received within 3 days I cancelled. Two weeks later money was taken from my account and the suits were received the following day, after I had cancelled the order. I was refunded the extra shipping I had paid immediately, but am still waiting almost 2 weeks after returning the suits for my refund, all of which should not have been taken from my account.

One star is way, way too high. Venus is a "Bait & Switch" co. NEVER, NEVER shop hear. I made a large order, was promised a $50 discount. Did I ever get the card? How many follow-up phone calls must one make to get that card? I FINALLY was promised once again, weeks after the very 1st promise, that they would send me a $25 gift card. Excuse me? Why didn't you send me it the last time you promised? Or with the original order as you promised? As if I ever want to deal with your co ever again when all they do is LIE? Why would I be happy after spending hours and hours of my time complaining, and not getting the promised item, with a gift card 1/2 of what was originally promised in writing when I made my order? They've got the absolute worst "customer service" jerks in the history of online sales too.

Not true to size
September 20, 2017

I'm a size 5 and can wear a size 7 in some brands, so I ordered Venus' size small. Their small reads 4/6. So after paying $137.94 including tax and shipping for 3 items, it took well over two weeks before I'd receive my items. The items I received read small however fit several sizes to big and I mean big! The sweaters even hang down to my knees and i stand at 5'7. So I decided to wash them in hot water to shrink them up. All I accomplished from washing was unraveling on just one wash, not one bit of shrinkage. What a waste of money!

Shopping cart kept emptying
September 20, 2017

I spent An hour going through all the items and got about 17 sweaters and tops in my shopping cart. Went to check out and got a message, "Oops! Your shopping cart is empty." WHAT? So I went back and AGAIN tried to put everything back in my cart. Of course I didnt remember everything so Venus lost some sales. Entered the shipping code. Went to check out and AGAIN it said my cart was empty. I'm done shopping on this site. Too much trouble to place an order so I'll spend my money elsewhere. This site is awful!
