Really hit and miss with the delivery time, it may take 2 days or it may take 2 weeks. The items themselves are good quality but if you want something by a deadline like a trip that is less than 2/3 w... See more

Order no 130450727 returned more than a week ago , still not refunded. Customer service is not existing , just a chatbot that can't even locate the order while I see it with my own eyes. If this doesn't get rectified soon I'll dispute with Amex. Let's see.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Contacted them because received an item without a hygiene strip and seeking assistance with return. Received an automated response requesting information I had already provided. Over a week later and no human response.

Absolutely shocking service

Absolutely shocking service. Returned my order coming up to three weeks ago. No response to multiple emails and haven't been refunded, despite sending proof of return.

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.

Missing parcel/refund

I’ve been buying from Billabong for years however I wont be anymore. I returned a couple of items for a refund and it has been 25 days no refund or communication. I’ve tried contacting them but only getting automated replies. So frustrating.

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.
