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

No customer service

Haven't sent the full order - item missing. No reponse from their customer service team. Will have to apply for a chargeback from my bank. That's the last time I order from them.

Fantastic!

Can't understand the negative reviews, although people generally only leave them after a bad experience.
I'm new to Billabong and have just bought myself some amazing bargains in their sale including a rucksack, scarf and X2 fleeces. I liked my first fleece so much I bought another in a different colour!
With speedy delivery, good quality, stylish clothing which is a bit different, and eco-conscious materials I will certainly buy more in the future. Maybe add a vegan clothing range 🤔. This would be amazing. Keep doing what you're doing 🙂

Don't send survey till delivered

I know it was Xmas, but after 2 weeks have still not received order.. and no way of tracking, which may be down to delivery company...08 01 26 will change review to finally delivered, item good quality, just nearly 3 weeks to receive it, don't see joining billabong member has any benefits. Free delivery but bombarded with emails and a 3 week wait, upgraded to a2 star

Would not say experience was grea.

Would not say experience was great-see comments in previous questionnaire. Let down a little by longish delivery schedule, lack of reliable tracking information and what I consider the unprofessional procedures of DPD carriers.

Zero customer service

Zero customer service - business acts as a proxy to a european warehouse. No one is manning the support desk and the initial emailed response from the customer support form is automated.
I was sent some wetsuit boots in a wrong size and asked for a resolution but since their one and only response is an automated reply via 'Alice', I hold little hope of hearing back from an actual person.
So that leaves me with two options, try and send back via their Returns process which leaves me with zero confidence, or try and sell the products on.
It's shocking that Billabong think it is acceptable to conduct business like this, the '.co.uk' proxy company are operating on near illegality given how blasé their approach is to the Consumer Rights Act.

Terrible company

Terrible company. Ordered an item. They sent a size too small. Set up a return through order site, printed off return label and posted it. Since then nothing. 10 days later no response to repeated requests to know if refund is being processed. If they do respond its an automated reply unrelated to the query.
I have sent proof that it was posted back and that it entered the returns tracking service.

Still no refund. I now do not know how else to get my money back for an item they got wrong and I returned.

Package damaged

Package damaged, items missing from bag that was ripped open in transit. Emailed them 3 times with this message, finally got a response saying items can be shipped separately! Absolute joke of a customer service.
