Absolutely will never buy from them and will never reccomend them to anyone. I ordered $400.00 worth in clothing- they shipped the wrong item. They put boots in that I didn't order which cost me more in shipping and duty fees. So I returned everything and they supposedly refunded me. I had to call them 7 times to inquire why I hadn't received a refund but they insisted they refunded me. My bank said there was no transfer of refund, so I had to open a dispute. We won and now 6 months later they're charging me the money that they should have refunded me. They lied and now they're trying to steal from me! Absolutely furious. Worst experience I've ever had with a clothing company. If you don't want any issues don't buy from them!
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.
So I placed a few purchases with Venus.com, was pleased with the items. However, I ordered a sweater and the neckline was so deep, my breast would have been hanging out, literally. I returned it with the label, that was supposed to be $6.95. Once the order was returned, I see that I have been credited $6.10. I have 1 person that tells me I can just add another item and I won't be charged. Another person telling me the label cost $6.95 and I am still billed for shipping. Another person who I have no idea what she was talking about and she didn't know either. Please save your self from this thieving company. I have asked them to remove all contact with me.
I purchased a bathing suit January 22nd, it is now February 29th and I still have not received my bathing suit, they did not send me a email to pay my duties. They will not respond to your emails.
I called their customer service line on the 22nd of February since they didn't respond to my email and they said I will get it on the 26th. Still sitting here with nothing. If you're Canadian I suggest picking a different site
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.
I ordered a dress with confirmation from venus officials that I would receive within 7-10 days as I was in need of a dress for a friends wedding which was in 15 days after the day I ordered it. I began to get nervous as I did not receive any confirmation emails that my order was sent or even a way to track my order. I once again created a chat with a venus associate and was rudely notified that I didn't pay the taxes and duties which was sent in an "email" (which I never received/ unprofessional) and from this I will not be receiving my order for another 12 days... I have ordered from many sites that are based out of the U. S and never had to deal with this type of paying. Not at all happy and will be sending my order back once it is received as my order is not worth an extra 100 dollars in duty charges
Not impressed customer from Canada!
I love Venus, and have ordered many great pieces from them. However, if you are a Canadian buyer be prepared to pay more - you will be charged a lot extra by Canadian customs. Usually if it says the item was made in the US you don't pay any duties, but even this has been inconsistent since I have been charged duties on US made clothing on occasion... I don't think it's Venus' fault though. With the bad exchange rate and duties on top of this I rarely order from them now :(
Quite reliable. Quality is hit and miss but I have been ordering from them for a while. Quick shipments. Really reliable. Great customer service. Not a scam at all.
The Venus clothing line has the poorest quality clothes out of any retailer I've ever purchased from. You could find better quality clothes at a dollar store... or a garage sale! Most dresses cost between $29 and $79, which is outrageous considering that the material is so thin and not at all true to the pictures they show in the catalogs. All the models are beanpoles with boob jobs and major photo shopping! I'd like to know what Venus clothes would look like on a REAL woman please.
Of the 10 or so dresses that I've bought from Venus, only two of them were acceptable to wear in public. The other dresses are so scandalously short and cleavage baring that I wouldn't dare step outside in them! But if you actually like a dress you ordered from Venus, you're still going to lose. The dresses do not last and do not wash well. Even dresses that say "machine wash cold" on the tags look like wrinkled, torn up rags after one wash!
As other customers have stated, the return policy is appalling. Read it carefully before you purchase anything. The one thing I can say positive about Venus is that their swim wear is decent quality. But it's also very expensive. So it should be good quality! This company is a rip off.
So I ordered a whole bunch of stuff. About $250.00 worth. Then after I placed the order I read some of the reviews. I was so nervous after reading the negative reviews. I have to say- I returned a large portion of the clothing I ordered- I kept two shirts and the bathing suit I ordered. The dresses didn't fit and a few shirts were not what I expected- but I sent them back and received my refund immediately. I do think that what I was charged for shipping was ridiculous- I definitely agree with that. 6.95 to use their label plus 7.95 for shipping- I would have shipped it myself and spent less! But - the bathing suit- was amazing. I have a difficult time finding swim suits because I am a size 2 with a natural 34DDD top- So unfortunately it is very difficult for me to find swim wear and I have to pay an arm and a leg and the top is still usually not big enough. Can't even buy at Victoria's Secret! The suit I ordered from Venus fit better than any swim suit I have owned in 10 years. I couldn't be more thrilled with that! I did keep two shirts like I said- and I love them. So I guess it is hit or miss... Depends on what you order- and ship your returns yourself!
I just received my order today.The sizes are hit and miss. I'm 5' 10" tall and weighs 150lbs. I wear a size Medium in blouses. Just to cover myself, I bought large. Some of the larger fit and some are to big. But I can take them in. Now my experience went decently because A) I ordered over the phone (their systems are more up to date than the internet with reference to availability) B) I bought my purchases with a Pre-paid gift card for security reasons. Regarding the quality of the merchandise - out of ten, ten being the highest, I give them a 7. I will buy from them again. If anyone has any questions regarding my experience please feel free to comment.
I purchased several items and two of the shirts didn't fit. Venus provides a return label and they told me "yeah we make it easy just place the return label on the box and send it back to us. We will issue you a refund." Once I got a refund they charged me $6.95 for the shipping label which was included with the delivery. Plus 12.95 shipping cost to return the item. RIP OFF... Never again will I shop with them.
35 days ago I returned 3 purchases which still are not credited to my account, and it has been 35 days already. I received an email saying the return was approved and the credit would take 7 to 10 business days on top of the 35 days already passed to be available on my account. This is an absurd! Also the reason I returned was because the quality and overall fitting of the dresses were terrible. I'm very unhappy about this purchase and I think the women should be aware of this, in case they decide to purchase anything from VENUS. This is a sign of disrespect with the customer not to mention disorganization. Another thing worthy to mention is that the customer service has no answers for real, and legitimate questions about the return delays and processes. How come they take your money with hours after a purchase and take over 35 days to reimburse you for the return? I think 7 to 10 business days is very reasonable, as other merchants manage to do returns, but 35 to acknowledge the return? + 7-10 days to process it and get your money back is ridiculous and dishonest.
First, even though their catalog has a Canadian address, they are US based and all their prices are in US dollars. This is not disclosed anywhere, so the prices are actually 40% higher than advertised. I only realized that after I received my credit card statement. Second, you have to pay customs duties, which is also left undisclosed. They only let you know that you have to pay more after the order is shipped. And last, it has been 34 days since I placed an order, but still no sign of it. Stay away from these scam artists.
I'm not one for ordering clothes on-line, as I am a petite 57 year old (size XS to S), and find it hard to find clothes that fit. I ordered a swimsuit and a top and was pleasantly surprised that both items fit perfectly. You may pay a little extra, but in the end it is worth it. I am leaving for a cruise on Saturday 2/20 and the items are packed in my suitcase. I will definitely order from Venus again.
AFTER ORDERING FROM ROSEWE AND SAMMY DRESSES" I WAS VERY APPREHENSIVE TO ORDER FROM VENUS, BUT I CAN HONESTLY TELL YOU THAT VENUS IS THE BEST CAMPANY I HAVE EVER PURCHASE CLOTHING FROM. THERE CLOTHERS ARE QUALITY, GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I WILL CONTINUE TO PURCHASE FROM THEM. PLEASE PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM ROSEWE AND SAMMY DRESSES!

Make sure you look at the size chart. I have several items and have ordered for years. They look good and are very comfortable. I would order from here
The majority is overwhelming please which makes this one bad review sound like a sycho and way off base. This customer obviously doesn't have a normal physic to wear the clothing well enough to complement her body. The clothing looks outstanding on any moderately slender women. She should try Romanns site for bras and clothing. It would be a more suitable site to look into for her. I did really enjoy all the more acurate reviews which were many.
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!
