Ok
February 5, 2016

The clothes are ok made. What gets me so upset about this site is that several times when I placed an order with their preorder clothes, my orders always seem to get cancelled with same message that the items have been discontinued. If your going to offer the clothes for preorder they should NOT be discontinued. I normally spend quite a bit but I think I am going to take my business elsewhere from now on.

I find that their clothes always looks better in their pictures. You must also read the product details to make sure you are buying the fabric quality that you want. They have some good items, but some of their items looks like they could be purchased at a flea market.

The item I ordered was backordered (which wasn't obvious on their page when I ordered it). I was excited when it looked like they finally had it in stock. I paid the duties and waited for it to arrive. Unfortunately, they sent me a totally different item instead. Now I'm on the hook for duties and exchange rate expenses. This site is completely disorganized and unprofessional. I hope they don't screw up the refund as well.:-(

The clothes are great!
February 3, 2016

All the negative reviews on here must be from people who don't know good quality. Most of my wardrobe is from here and I love everything I've bought. I've never had to return anything and buy things from this website a few times a month. Highly recommend!

Bad experience
February 1, 2016

I ordered two items on December 26 it was supposed to ship to my job since am rarely home and I have not yet received the items. I called to find out what happened to items according to consumer service " the shipping address was different my from my billing address " when I explained it to her she said " she's going to ship it out to me " I have not received anything, I did call back again spoke to the supervisor she apologized and said " she's going to ship the items express and waived the fees " that was on January 22 and I still didn't received the items so I reported them to corporate. I would never ever order anything from this company again this is the worst I ever experienced ordering stuff online.

I would love to order some items... but most of your customer reviews are terrible. So many complaints, on sizing, quality of merchandise...& especially on returns. Would you want to order items for yourself with these issues? I hope you resolve them. I will continue to watch reviews. When the quality improves & return policies change I will consider ordering.

I returned a "reversable cape" only because I just didn't love it. The cape was $29.99. Those a-holes charged me $19.95 to return it! $6.95 for the shipping label (really people?) and $12.95 for the return. $12.95? It wasn't made out of titanium for god sake. Read the fine print before you return ANYTHING. I'll never order from Venus again.

More than half of my wardrobe is from Venus. I love their clothes. I have not come across anything cheaply made yet. I have dresses, sweaters, leggings, jeans, shoes and jewelry. I will say I do thing their shoes do run a little small. Every time I wear an outfit from Venus I always get compliments and people ask wear did you get that. I love the clothes!

I have purchased many, many items from Venus over the past years and I rarely see bad quality. The few items that I have returned were because of size but I never had a problem with a return. Venus is the first on-line store that I go to when I am in need of clothes. I love shopping at Venus.com.

Ive ordered from venus several times. Ive always received my order in 3-5 days. Everything fit perfectly. 4 yrs ag i ordered a bathing suit and the top was to small. No problem at all returning it and receiving another. The clothes ive bought are well made and exactly what the picture depicted. Some of you seem awfully bitter. Is it possible you ordered styles that just werent for your body type? In 19 years ive never had a bad experience.

I ordered three tops from Venus. Two were ill-fitting so I notified them I was making a return. They e-mailed requesting that I wait to mail the return until I received a POSTAGE PAID mailing label from them in the mail. I got the label, returned the items and then received an e-mail notifying me my return had been completed and showing a $6.95 charge for the return label and a $9.95 charge for return shipping deducted from my refund. Really? I could have printed a label free myself and probably gotten a better postage rate. I felt tricked and ripped off.

It's okay!
January 16, 2016

It was my first time ordering from Venus, I ordered over the phone and the REP was really nice to me I asked her if everything was true to size (example)- If I order a small it'll be small. Well to be on the safe side I ordered a medium for a trip to Iowa for a conference, and boots that went with it. Well I paid 2 day shipping and retrieved my items. Well the mini dress was below my knees and the boots where above my knees... Awkward if I do say so myself, ok so everything was to big yet it was in my size that was a little odd to say the least anyway what kind of pissed me off was my box the dress came in was ripped not ripped by (delivery) it's like someone popped all the corners of the lid and ripped the bottom of the box. Well this was in my eyes a disaster so I sent everything back and called customer service and told them my box looked like a hot mess, told the rep I don't want to be charged for the already destroyed package. She said I would be fine... Well I spent 2 day shipping, and a shipping return fee. I spent $108.95 and I am pending a return amount of $91.05. This doesn't seem fair because sending ripped packages and asking customers to pay a return shipping fee is just ridiculous. Presentation is something we pay doe as well and it would be nice if the representatives knew what true to size meant after the customer explains their personal size. Never again will I order from this site.

Ordered bum lifter jeans in dark wash the picture of the jeans on the website looked like they had faded detail i talked to the live chat and asked her what size i should pick after tell her my measurements she said size 4, when they arrived i notice that they looked nothing like the picture they were solid dark wash no fade detail like the picture, and they are way too big, then i went to walmart the next day and found some nice jeggings for half the price, and fit and look better then the ones i bought from venus, they think their worth a million dollars

Thieves
January 9, 2016

Purchased a dress and it was way to long and oversized, which wasn't the problem. That can happen anywhere. The problem is that when I sent it back they kept over half of the purchase price in fees and shipping. So the dress cost me $29 plus tax and shipping and I was only refunded a total of $13.34?!?!?!? That's robbery... I will never shop there again!

Return Policy
January 9, 2016

You may receive half of your money. I returned a $24 dollar (unopened) sweater and they returned $11 dollars to my card--over half my money gone. I've been a customer for at least 5 years, but never again!

I had ordered a a few tops for my daughter. But one did not fit so when I returned the item they charged me double the shipping fee plus the label charge. I have not had any other company charge me that before. Disappointed in the return policy. The clothes are very nice looking and most that I ordered look nice. But, one sweater does not look that great... it is a cheaper quality not what I expected.
