I have purchased their swimsuits for over 2 years and could not be happier. Their selection is amazing and quality even better. It is so nice to find a place that caters to us plus size women. This company truly knows how to take care of its customers.
This incredibly inept company doesn't know the first thing about shipping orders. You question and they read the same stupid useless script. Orders most often are not shipped items back ordered for months. I have been in customer service businesses my entire life. Never, have I ever experienced the blatant stupidity of this joke of an organization. AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE
I ordered 4 garments. They sent me a piece I didn't order, and failed to give me 1 of the garments I had ordered. The piece they sent me was more expensive than the one they didn't send. However, in order for me to make it right, I would have to drive to a UPS store and buy a package to send it in. With the country's gas prices at $4.80 per gallon, why has this all of a sudden turned into my inconvenience? If I ordered too small a size or I didn't like what I received, then I would be happy to inconvenience myself for that. But Swimsuits for All took absolutely NO ACCOUNTABILITY! I asked why couldn't they just send me what I ordered and allow me to keep what they sent. I guarantee you they can afford to send a $29.00 garment. The fact that they took no accountability for a mistake THEY made, but I have to be inconvenienced by it is awful customer service. I will ensure to tell everyone I know what an awful company they are. Their swimsuits are actually pretty good quality too. Sad. Very sad.
Tip for consumers:
Do not order from there unless you don’t care if they mess up your order and give you something else.

I ordered 1 bathing suit yesterday with express shipping. I look at my order confirmation email today to see they added an additional bathing suit and coverup that I never ordered to my order. I call to get them taken off they tell me we have to try and cancel the whole order but will not give me a cancellation confirmation and can not even guarantee that my order will get cancelled. I read the reviews was very hesitating to order but decided I would try with 1 bathing suit. I never dreamed they would just add to my order and charge my card more than I agreed to in the order I was placing online. Should have been an easy fix with customer service but everyone on here is correct the customer service is not really even connected with the company it is outsourced. What company does not give you a confirmation for an order cancellation? The first customer service guy had to actually call somewhere else to get a supervisor for me and she gave me a different story than the first guy. He said had to cancel the order completely and I would see refund in 3-4 days she said not sure if she could stop the order. Don't know what suits are actually like in terms of quality but order system and customer service are basically criminal!

I order 2 swimsuits from them. Both of them did not fit so I returned both of them using the prepaid label and asked for a refund. They still do not want to issue me a refund.

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, but we really appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention.
Watch out for the shipping costs! They operate as if they are in the 1980s, increasing the shipping cost with total amount of your order. If you buy 4-5 suits, be prepared to pay $30+ in shipping. When you return an item, they won't refund money... they will issue you a gift card. They say they will give you a cash refund if you pay return shipping of $10... but then you get -$10 and a gift card, and have to call customer service to resolve it... and they won't, or can't. If you think, "Fine, that's the cost of doing business"... well, then you find out it's $10 per returned item! ACK! No where in FAQ do they tell you this. What? Customer service won't help... their only purpose is keeping your money at SFA, telling you why they can't do something, apologizing but not resolving. Once you give them your money, you will never see it again... ever.
If they would fix customer service and shipping hassles, I would rate their products 4 stars. Sometimes sizing is waaaay off, but they have great styles. Living in FL, I wear a lot of swimsuits/rash guards/cover ups... this would be my go-to place if customer service was better and shipping was reasonable. I look here first because it's a great selection, but then I google to see if I can get my items elsewhere... 50% of the time I can.
Tip for consumers:
They will gouge you on shipping... like $30 for shipping! They won't issue a refund, only a gift card... even if you're willing to pay the return shipping. Customer service won't resolve. When I shop here, I always know to add $30-$40 to the cost of my item. I like this site due to sooo many options, but then I google my items to see if I can get them somewhere else. If they fixed these issues, it would be my go-to place to shop.

So wish I had read these reviews before ordering. When I placed my order June 24th both items were said to be in stock. Then when checking the orders were said to be back ordered. A general letter was sent to all customers saying that they were sorry that this had happened and they were working to do better. Finally my orders shipped and arrived on July 31. Unfortunately only one item was correct. The other item instead of being a swimsuit was the ugliest dress I've ever seen was sent in its place. Customer service answered in a timely manner and the representative said all the right things. "So sorry"
Etc. A return label was sent to me to return it at no cost to me. Not my mistake but still have to go out of my way to correct the problem. No compensation was offered what so ever. Was told returned items aren't resold but given away. If so why make me return it. When on their website that dress is nowhere.
Of course the original tankini set I had ordered back in June that at that time had said in stock is not in stock now and will not ship until November. I don't know about you but I will not be in need of a suit in November. I always make sure to write a review to praise a business when good service is rendered and rarely write bad reviews but this is just bad business.
Tip for consumers:
Do not order from them. You will wait forever for your items if you get them at all. A few years ago they were better.

When my order arrived, the products seemed nice but did not come close to fitting. I returned them using the attached return label. I order online from retailers often and the standard process is the retailer will give you a refund minus the shipping charges when you return using their label. Not so with SwimsuitsForAll. Instead, they give you a gift card. You have to search the fine print on their return label to find this out. Since my money was tied up in a gift card, I placed a second order. These items were far from fitting as well. I think the sizes are way off. I just called and asked how to return these items and get my original money back. They said that since I paid with a gift card, they will give me another gift card. They said had I asked for my money back after they gave me the first gift card, they could have given me the money back. But now that I used the gift card, they cannot do that. How on earth was I supposed to know that they do things differently than the dozens of other online retailers I have shopped with. I a furious. Their swimsuits do not fit and they are keeping my money.

I initiated a return on 08/21 using the shipping label the company provided me. It was one of those "mail innovations" where it started with USPS and switches to UPS. Upon messaging the company for the fedex tracking number it showed my item would not arrive for 21 days! This would put me past the 60 mark. I reached out to the company asking if they were taking into account shipping delays due to Covid. Karena told me that I received my item on 07/15 and had "PLENTY of time to return." I explained to her that yes, I am returning a whole three weeks before my deadline. To me that's still PLENTY of time. Furthermore, I'm using the shipping label provided by the company. We are going through a pandemic. The company's website clearly states there may be shipping delays and items may arrive after expected delivery date. If they expect us to be understanding, why wouldn't they? I think the company should consider Covid delays for US TOO and should go off of the day the return was initiated. Karena informed me once they recieved my item, which isn't expected to arrive until 09/14 (over 3 weeks), they will mail it back to me. I will never order from them again.

I ordered 2 items and received incorrect merchandise. Called them followed the return process received email they received return and would be issued credit in 5-7 days. After multiple calls and them telling me would be issued next day and it wasn't, I filed dispute with paypal credit. They issued credit and then charged me back saying Swimsuits for All claimed it was a legitimate charge. After much investigation I uncovered their SCAM. Their return labels require USPS to hand over to 3rd party company called newgistics and they can not update USPS tracking so claim it was never returned. USPS says contact newgistics but that is a joke. I am reporting them to Federal Trade Commission and Better Business Bureau. They hope people get fed up and just drop the case but I would love for a class action lawsuit to be filed. I am appealing claim and have forwarded paypal credit all documents including email from them that they did receive the returned merchandise. Would never do business with again!

Still fighting for refund of returned items that I did not order

We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we are gutted when we don’t meet expectations. Thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We will use the feedback to make us better and to ensure this does not happen again.
Not only has the sizing and quality of items gone way down, the customer service is abysmal. I placed an order and received an incorrect item in my order. I also did not receive the return shipping label I was supposed to receive to return the item. I called customer service to figure out what to do and the CSR told me they would mail me a new shipping label as I did not have a printer to print an emailed label. Fast forward a month where I was traveling and having covid…no label has been received. I call customer service again. They tell me that they do not ship new mailing labels anymore (and did not when they rep told me they would), and I now have 4 days to get the incorrect item to them or will receive no refund for the item anyway. I have to go find a printer to print the label or pay for the shipping of the return item myself (which now that it has to get there in 4 days will be more than the value of the item credit I am looking for). They will not issue a credit for the item u did not receive until this item is returned. This place is a friggin joke and I will never order from them again. Stick to Amazon.

I will never order from this company again! Called customer service because I paid $13 for shipping on a product that said it would be 5-7 business days shipping. They keep telling me that it's not left the facility and that it will be another 10 days before I receive it due to covid! No where does it say in their website that there is shipping delays! Even went and started a dummy order because the agent I spoke to says it says it in there... it says under the shipping on a! Order placed today estimated delivery would be jun 10th! Tell me how my order placed over a week ago is set to be delivered the same day! Then she said that is says it after the order number when the order is placed! Nope I have a screen shot! Spoke to a supervisor and they told me the same thing! Just kept saying we're sorry. There's nothing I can do! I asked for a refund. Nope. Asked for a refund on just my shipping. Nope it's non-refundable. Asked if they could expedite my package since I need it for vacation THIS weekend and the only reason I placed the order... a $90 order at that... is because it said it would be here on time! Nope can't do that either! The first agent was rude as hell too! I asked her to cancel my order because I no longer wanted their product. And she said I would have to pay shipping to ship it back to them! I'm NOT paying a total of $26 shipping for a product I told you to cancel! Save your money and don't order from this awful company!

Be warned if you have to return a swimsuit to Swimsuits For All you will be out the shipping cost for delivery and the return (on average $15-20.) I love The Ashley Graham Bathing Suit Collection and decided to give Swimsuits For All a try. As many know, it is really hard to buy a bathing suit online without seeing it in person or trying it on. The suit itself was a bit pricey and then to pay $8.99 for shipping. I decided to give it a try because there aren't many places you can buy this brand. I can't say that I loved the top nearly as much as I had hoped, but decided to keep it. I then ordered a second swimsuit top and it did not fit well at all. When I inquired about the return I found out that I would have to pay shipping to return the suit and they would not credit the shipping to have it delivered. Essentially I was going to be out $15-20 with nothing to show for it. Keep in mind the tankini itself was only $30. Their website is misleading and makes it sound like you can print a prepaid return shipping label. This is not true unless you are willing to take a credit to your account. It would take a lot for me to ever consider purchasing from Swimsuits For All again. Trying to buy a bathing suit online is hard enough as it is and then to have high shipping cost and hassled returns. I will stick with reputable websites that offer free shipping and easy returns. Swimsuits For All has lost a customer pretty much right off the start!

I ordered a bathing suit skirt bottom online, for which I paid $48 plus $12.99 shipping. This was probably my 5th or 6th order from Swimsuits for All, so I've been a fairly regular, good customer. Along with my order came several new catalogs, so imagine my surprise to find my exact same swimsuit skirt on page 16 priced on sale for $23! The catalog back says these prices are in effect until 9/27/22. Since my order was only place about 12 days earlier, I'm fairly sure this print catalog was out at the same time also. So I called the customer service number to get a price adjustment. Wrong! Spoke to 4 different CSRs, the last 2--Victor and Rebecca--allegedly Resolutions Supervisers-- and all said, essentially, too bad, we don't make price adjustments, not our policy! Rebecca, the final person with whom I spoke, actually said I could call anyone up the corporate chain, all the way to the top of Full Beauty Brands (corporate parent) and NO ONE will ever make that price adjustment and credit me back my $25 I overpaid! I could, however, return the item, and reorder it again at the lower price, paying for all the shipping, which would cost multiple times the price if the item! What a crappy company--NO CUSTOMER SERVICE standards at all! Order at your own risk! Oh, and by the way, Swimsuits for All-- please don't bother to put your standard robot message saying how sorry you are and will use this to help improve-- I've now read every review listed for the past 1 1/2 years, and your replies are identical, and nothing has changed! Even your replies are phony!

So disappointed. My first order has been a disaster. I ordered via PayPal and got an order number from PayPal and an explanation that the payment would go through when S4A accepted the order. When I followed up with S4A after it was pending for 5 days I was told that they did not have an order. So I canceled it on PayPal and ordered and paid by credit card online. I ordered a size 10 top and size 12 bottom, which is reflected in my order. I received a size 10 top and a size 12 top, and no bottom. When I called customer service there were no longer any size 12's or 14's. I was offered a size 10 or 18. Which is not helpful when I am a size 12 or 14. The agent accused me of being rude when I said that, which is not rude, it's stating the obvious. Don't offer my something that is obviously useless to me. I now have the burden returning the item to and waiting for the apparently incompetent warehouse to receive it before I am refunded. And I don't want a gift card as I will NEVER shop here again.
I was so excited at the prospect of finally finding a swimsuit to fit me, and bought into it because Ashley Graham is a spokesperson, and the experience, from first order, to canceled first order, to second order, to receiving that incorrect order, and then being treated like an inconvenience by the 'customer service' representative when I dared to express frustration, has been awful. I will not be shopping with them again.

I just had an incrediblly negative experience with this retailer. I'd bought a suit from them 2 or 3 years ago without issue and was buying a couple more for an upcoming vacation. The items took forever to ship with a mysterious 4 day delay in Indiana. FedEx then claimed the item was delivered but I received no package. I've done a lot of online shopping and have never had a package go missing or stolen for years. When I called FedEx they said they could do nothing and I had to call the retailer. Swimsuitsforall csr talked me through some absurd process where I have to fill out an affadavit that they will mail it I can print and then mail back to them so they can do an investigation and then take 2 weeks to determine if I get a refund. By the time I'd get the refund and be able to repurchase my suits, even assuming they're even in stock and the shipping isn't as slow as last time, there's no way I'd get them in time for my vacation. This is a terrible way to run a business and a terrible way to treat customers. I'm definitely never going to be a repeat customer here again.
