Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 75 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many people expressed significant dissatisfaction with their orders, frequently reporting issues such as missing items, incorrect products being sent, or deliveries to the wrong address. A common complaint among consumers was the extremely slow response time from customer service, with many experiencing weeks or even months of waiting for a reply, often receiving only automated messages. This lack of communication led to considerable frustration when trying to resolve straightforward issues. Conversely, a small portion of people were satisfied with the quality of the products, describing items as well-made, attractive, and durable. Some reviewers also appreciated the designs and the use of recycled materials. However, some people mentioned that product quality has deteriorated over time, citing issues like irregular sizing and materials failing after minimal wear.

My order was not delivered

My order was not delivered. I contacted customer services by email several times with useless automated responses. It is still unresolved over 1 month later. Do not purchase from Billabong!

Missing item in delivery

Missing item in delivery. Absolutely nil communication despite several requests for updates. Then all money was refunded. Then missing item turned up a week later and money taken from account.
So all square in the end but appalling customer service. They actually sent me an email to stop sending requests for info as it was making them slower! And three weeks later I still haven’t had one response. Will never use again.

Will never order from the company…

Will never order from the company again. I can’t get through to billabong in the uk
at all after multiple emails about the products I have ordered and since returned.
I got through to billabong in another country and they were super quick with replies but I have not received a refund or any reply from the uk after weeks of trying

Terrible - awful quality for the price you pay.

Terrible. Order took ages to arrive. Once it did, the t-shirt itself was really poor quality - similar fit and feel to T-shirts from Primark. It fitted too small compared to the images. For the price you pay it’s a total rip off.

Organised a return via the Evri label provided. It’s been two weeks now and the item hasn’t arrived back so I assume it’s lost in transit and customer service are doing nothing to help. So at this rate I won’t be getting my £40 refund. Really disappointed

I was a long time Billabong customer

I was a long time Billabong customer. And then I realized like a lot of us that we lost our rewards. They're clothing line shifted. Who the hell is running the business. The designs the fits the cuts of the shorts and shirts are nothing like they used to be. I even saw Billabong at Sam's club. Sell outs. Luckily I have some good well made original Billabong wet suits and swimwear but I won't be purchasing anything else.

I can’t believe how bad this company’s customer service is.
My son tried on some Boardshorts in Greece but wasn’t quite his size so I ordered the online .
My order was cancelled and refunded 4 x and I was stupid enough to place another order which has taken so long it’s the familiar pattern of another cancellation. All the items that was cancelled never become unavailable online.

Light tear

Very good confortable and gorgeous swimsuit! Bought the last pair on discount, therefore it arrived with a little tear in the middle of tying rope of the bikini top.

Great backpack

Ordering was easy, the only thing is, it tucked longer than I thought to be delivered but the backpack was better than the photos showed. With lots of pockets inside.
