Do not buy unless you’re in AUS

Unfortunately cannot recommend anything from this company, the colours/prints are really nice but that’s about it. Fabric is quite coarse and unpleasant, not a lot of stretch. Sizing is all over the place - bottoms too big, tops too small. No support / shaping on tops, minimal coverage. I can’t figure out what body shape they are catering to as the minimal coverage either a) squashes your chest down with underboob showing which is very unflattering and feels “insecure” or b) try to wear the top the standard way and risk your nipples jumping out any second - since the piece of fabric is so small! Had to pay import duties and of course return is also not free - so have to keep and resell the items.

Honestly Sommer Swim team, please work on your fitting and sizing, these are pretty to look at on the website but not very practical at all.

Great customer service

I had to make an exchange because the bikini I ordered wasn’t exactly the style I wanted, so i am waiting for a restock to place my new order which I am super excited about because their Jaguar print is stunning. The customer service has been amazing. Sarah helped me and she was so patient and so helpful. She responded to me so quickly and was just overall super kind. Wonderful customer service and I cannot wait to get my new bikini!

THIS BRAND IS A SCAM!!

I would give less than 1 star if possible. I’m am outraged with my experience of ordering and returning items to this company.

Their swimwear is not practical or size inclusive… they go up to a size LARGE in bikinis. I’m 5’’7 and 160 pounds… I’m usually a size medium in most thing (8-10) and a size large too/bottom barely fits, especially the top. There is no support at all.

On top of the sizing issue, their customer service and refund policy is a SCAM. I bought 2 separate full bathing suits - top & bottom, in different sizes to see what fit best (4 pieces in total). I returned all 4pieces because none of them fit like I expected and weren’t worth the money. I learned a valuable and extremely hard lesson today… ALWAYS read the return policy before purchasing anything from a new online site. I clearly made the mistake of overlooking the terms & conditions (my bad). I just never anticipated such a nightmare to come of this. I’ve never in my life experienced such a poor return policy or experience. I’ve ordered from other international swimwear companies before like Kuhlani Kinis and never in my life have I experienced such a headache. Black Bough (although American) is another swimwear comoany I shop from and they are reasonable as well. Shame on me for being so naive to think this brand would have similar standards for their customer service…

After obliging to their unrealistic and outrageous return policy, I returned my merchandise to UPS within 14 days of it arriving. Of course I had to pay shipping on it, which I figured as much, seeing this is an Australian company… oh but that’s not all. They have the audacity to try to SCAM me by sending me an email that I stained one of the items and they are only willing to give me STORE CREDITS for 3 of the items. They sent a photo of the “stained” merchandise, and either I became blind overnight or they are on something bc what the actual…? I can assure you I did not stain it. There was not a stain when I received it, had it in my possession or returned it. The photo also shows NO STAIN WHATSOEVER. I’ve shared this email to others to gauge my experience and every single person has agreed this is absolutely bonkers.

I’m so frustrated, I don’t even want to use my store credits or ever attempt using that company again. At this point my store credits have racked up to a whopping $300… so looks like I’m be making a purchase and trying to resell online. Although this time, I won’t be the one scamming anyone :) and I’ll be honest with my customer(s) upfront about what their signing themselves up for.

Hey Sarah, sorry to hear there was an issue with sizing. Our sizing charts are to international standards. Of course if the L isn't suitable, we can offer a return to refund in exception that is not an issue. Please communicate with customer care as we are very reasonable. Unfortunately we have strict returns polices as this is intimate wear, so any returns received with marks or stains will be rejected per our policies. Please communicate with the team if you believe this has been in error. The item will be returned immediately, also in line with our polices so you're welcome to inspect in person and reach out following.

Dont order!!! No refund possible

Dont order ! Really bad Customer service. They do not refund the money in case you send the items back but only give you a voucher card. Additionaly you also have to pay "importtaxes" on the product since they come from australia.

Hi Mel, our polices which are clear and easy to view on the Australian store are exchange to store credit only. This is also specified in each product page. Shopping on this store internationally to any country outside of Australia will possibly incur customs, dependant on the destination country customs specifics. This is also covered in our policies.

Absolutely horrible company

Absolutely horrible company! Please don’t waste your money! I purchased a bikini top for my daughter. I put all her measurements into the size chart and was told an XS was her perfect size. She received the top and it didn’t even remotely cover her! She is an A cup by the way so an XS should have absolutely covered her. She tried the top on ONCE and we sent it back. Today we received an email saying Sommerswim will not accept the top because it has a stain on it and they are sending it back to me immediately. They took a picture of the top and sent it to me. There is no visible stain on the top as they claim and the picture just shows the sticker they stuck on it. I also inspected the top before I sent it back and there were no stains on it! It was literally tried on ONCE! I sent multiple emails stating what I have written here and not one single response back. This is a deceptive company and I would never order from them unless you like throwing your money away!
EDIT
I have since read other reviews where customers also say that Sommerswim claims there are stains on the bathingsuits and they won’t allow an exchange. Unethical practices! DONT BUY!!!!

Hey Patti, please allow a business day for responses from the customer care team per our polices. Our sizing is per international standards. Exchanges are simple and easy, unfortunately if there is an issue with an item being stained or marked the return will be rejected in line with our strict hygiene policies. This will be returned and you can inspect the item in person. EDIT. Any returns marked will not be accepted, so given we sell intimate wear its not unethical to reject marked returns.

Excellent service and swimwear

Recently purchased two bikinis for the summer. I had a great experience with the customer service team, especially Sarah, who promptly helped to resolve all my queries. Very much looking forward to enjoying my new swimwear over the summer!

They did not state on their website…

They did not state on their website that the only option for a return was a store credit and not a refund. The items were not made very well and fit very oddly. If in person I would not have even tried them on since the quality was bad but then they didn't fit at all once I tried them on. I do not want a store credit for my $218 purchase I want my money back so I can go find items I can actually wear. Then you can't call anyone, you can only email. This is not a trustworthy store. Then their return process is LENGTHY and they require photos of the items. I 100% do not recommend purchasing from this online store.

EDITED TO ADD A RESPONSE TO THEIR REPLY SINCE I CAN'T REPLY TO IT DIRECTLY: They have since updated their website to state the store credit, it was not clearly written before and now they are pretending it was there all along instead of just offering a refund. BUYER BEWARE!!!! SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES. WILL BE POSTING A BBB REVIEW ON THEM AS WELL.

Hey Kristina, our polices are easy to find on the store and state clearly that exchanges are to store credit. These policies have been the same for the last decade. If you would like to alternate styles, the credit note won't expire and you can choose other items on store. Additionally we're an International brand and contact is done via email, with responses received within 24 hours on business days. Please select 'next' during the exchange process and you can proceed without adding photos. Thank you

Beautiful pieces and great quality

I recently tried my first swimsuit from Sommer Swim, and it exceeded all expectations. The quality is top-notch. The designs are stunning, with a variety of patterns and colors to suit every style. The customer service was outstanding - From order to delivery, their team was attentive, kind and helpful. I highly recommend Sommer Swim for anyone seeking high-quality swimwear with beautiful designs and exceptional service. I will definitely order again!

I ordered some bikinis on march the 24th. I got the package on March the 28th. So then a few days later I wanted to return some of the items. On the page you can read that the return policy is 14 days when the package arrives you. So the last day to return would be the on april the 11th. So I checked the website to get my code to return the order. Didnt worked out because the website showed an error all the time. So I wrote a few Emails to the costumer service but never got an answer from them since today. So now I have to keep the unflattering and not good quality bikinis for a bunch of money. Don‘t buy from them!!!!!!!!

Beautiful bathing suits and great customer service!

The bathing suits are beautiful, great quality and great fit! I’ve finally found bikinis that fit me perfectly and are very flattering. Worth every penny! The size guide makes it easy to find the right fit for you but if you have any questions, their customer service team is super helpful and personable. Sarah helped me and she’s wonderful! I will definitely be buying from here again!

Very good quality and professional team

Very good quality of the products, exactly the colours on the website. I made a mistake by ordering from EU on the US-Webstore (you must pay attention!), but i still received the products very fast and i could also change one top-size directly on the EU-Store without problems. Happy to wear the coolest bikini this season!

Great product and helpful customer service

I have been a Sommer Swim customer for years now, and every season, their styles, colors, and patterns continue to impress me! This year, I had my first "issue" with Sommer - an unintentional error, but their customer service was incredibly helpful and QUICK to get my issue resolved. Sarah - a customer service manager was understanding and helpful. Love all of my Sommer Swim experiences, and am obsessed with their swimwear.
