Terrible customer service

I have a couple of pairs of billabong swim shorts which have been excellent, good quality, bright colours, hard wearing and long lasting. I decided to update for an upcoming holiday and ordered shorts direct from billabong. Not only did they never arrive I had to contact my bank to achieve a refund following a completely hopeless string of emails. I bought some shorts from their competitors without issue and theyre great. I thought billabong was a good company, but they've lost a customer.

Do not buy from this company

Do not buy from this company! I bought a cap from billabong two months ago and it never arrived. I have still received no response from customer services about a refund or resending the item. Up until this point I have always had good delivery experiences with billabong but am really disappointed by this recent experience.

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM HERE!

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM HERE. I have attempted to get a refund for returned items and have been completely ignored. Only received automated replies and there's no phone number. I have had to go through my bank to dispute the charge. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP PROOF OF POSTAGE IF YOU RETURN. COMPLETE SCAM MERS!

Wish I’d checked these reviews before…

Wish I’d checked these reviews before purchase!

Delivery was fast and products were great. Needed to return 2 items. Started process. Returned items. Then silence. Raised a support request. Got generic auto reply. Replied requesting assistance…. 4 times I’ve done this and had zero response. Trying to do a chargeback now. Dreadful support. Avoid.

I’ve bought things in the past and have always found return’s difficult but I’ve even got return information and no refund. I’ve tried ringing and email for 2 months and not had a single return email other than a standard generated one. I’m still trying to contact them hopefully they may see this though I doubt it very much.

Basically a scam site

I ordered 2 pairs of swimming shorts. The parcel arrived contained only 1 pair. I emailed customer and received no response. So I've basically been scammed. I had heard of Billabong growing up but this is NOT the same company now. Do NOT order here, there is a high chance things will go wrong and you will be out of pocket.

The order never arrived

The order never arrived, customer service only sends automated responses and does not offer to help, do not order from Billabong
