Ordered dec 23 for a holiday on January 11. Won't be here by then and offered me a 15% discount. Sorry I don't want your 15% on shorts and a dress for the Canadian winter. Sat at Landmark shipping from dec 26- January 8 with no help from the company. Company website states 3-5 days once through customs and the tracking number states it'll be here jan17. Last time I order through this scam

Awful awful awful! I was just told I have to pay $6.95 to ship the item back that doesn't fit in order to get a refund since I want to exchange it for another size.

Going to continue shopping on Amazon and Nordstrom which offers free shipping AND free returns.

Venus needs to get their stuff together. They're losing out due to poor customer service when compared to other companies that offer stellar service.

Venus catalogs are going straight to the trash where they belong!

Refund policy
January 4, 2019

I love the store and clothing, but if something doesn't fit I don't think you should be charged for return or exchange. It cost me a extra $14.00 on a outfit and the price went up too.

Awful company service
December 30, 2018

Bought several items from this company. Even had a credit card. They closed my account without cause. They stated didn't buy enough. Really! The company sucks big time. They lost a good customer. Will NEVER buy from them again. I get catalogs but toss them out in the garbage where they belong!

WOW! STAY AWAY
December 27, 2018

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. I'm probably the insane one for continuing to shop with this Company. I'm done! Talk about incompetence, LOUSY customer service and the quality of clothing is horrible. If I could give 0 Stars I would.

Worst customer service
December 27, 2018

I made an order on Dec 7th and never received it. I have called Venus, done the online chat, emailed them and faxed them over this situation. I was guaranteed delivery many times by many different employees and here it is Dec. 27th and I still have no package. It does NO good to try and talk to these people, they have my money and I just keep getting the run around. Oh Venus its order number *******! Worst Customer Service Ever!

I ordered several shirts and most of them ran big. I think the sizing is a little off. I hope they make it easier to review items on their website so people know how it fits/looks, if it runs big or small etc. The item came 2 days after they predicted which is no big deal. My favorite sweater of them all had several holes in it so I had to return it, bummed. I contacted customer service through live chat and they were very helpful. Hopefully I am not charged the automatic $6.95 fee when you return items.

Frustrated
December 20, 2018

I have a full closet of Venus clothing. I wear a piece@ least 4 days a week. I love it! But when an item doesn't fit right & they don't have my size, I feel robbed when they charge me $6.95 to return every time! What is the advantage of a Venus credit card anyway?! I'm done. Full wardrobe & all! They are loosing one of their best customers! Sad for both parties! -Jenna Thompson

I ordered 4 dresses to try for New Years Eve Party on the 8th of December. I waited a week and the order didn't ship. I called and found out they had confused my billing and shipping address and instead of letting me know just held the order. I communicated and fixed the address issue and was assured it was going out the next day. It didn't. I called again and they apologized saying their manager was express mailing and it would be here in 2 days. Still didn't happen. Now it says the order will arrive on the 29th or 30th. To late for my party. This companies customer service is below satisfactory. I am super disappointed and have a week to find a dress. :( I will order with a company who doesn't play games and can deliver what they say. This company is a big disappointment and cannot be trusted to deliver on time. Look somewhere else please.

Nothing ever fits me right when ordering online. But once in awhile something fabulous fits perfectly. Venus has some amazing beautiful items. However I was worried about their return policy if it didnt fit. I will continue ordering from them until i find that perfect fit. Because they made not only my ordering process seamless but my return was also just as easy. Thank you venus for great products and understanding that sometimes it just doesnt fit and allowing me to have that option so I can continue purchasing more.

I will never order from Venus again. The sizing is horrible! The blouse I ordered was a medium and it was small enough to fit a 10-year-old.

Low quality clothing
December 8, 2018

If you dont mind spending $$ for clothes that should be given away then you will be a very happy customer. How does a company have an entire catalog of "nice looking" clothing only to ship out total crap. Orders 5 items and have to send every single item back. Thin cheap material. Out of shape. Noisy pants. Weird smells. Second time I've had to send entire order back. Now I know why I never shopped them again after the last order. Never again.

Canadian buyer beware
December 6, 2018

Ordered from catalogue with labels from Mississauga Ontario. Did not know it was an American company! Was not aware that my purchase would be in American dollars. Rec'd several promotion emails that same Black Friday week for my items offered at lower prices. My items were ordered in medium size, of which I am a perfect 8-10 and they were so large I could get 2 people inside. I was charged a duty extra price of $35. For a $74. Purchase. To return I must pay shipping. What? Worst online company ever!. Cdn buyer stay away. There are NO DEALS at that company.

I have had the Venus card for a year and they kept increasing the credit limit. I was using only 20% of the card, was paying more than the minimum and ALWAYS on time. I just noticed online that they lowered my credit limit to what my balance was making it look like I was at the max of my credit- this lowered my credit score by 12 poi. Nts. I immediately contacted customer service who was unapologetic, saying this is a standard procedure- they periodically do this with their cardholders. I will be cancelling the card immediately.
Here is their exact response:
We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion you may have recently
Experienced with your account. On 11/22/2018, your credit limit was
Reduced to a total of $XXX. XX based on information provided to our Bank
By the credit reporting agencies. A letter was mailed to you on
11/24/2018 to notify you of this change. If you have any questions
Regarding the information in your credit bureau report, please contact
The credit bureau directly with the information provided on the letter.

They did not even give a warning so I could reduce my overall balance BEFORE they decreased my balance. Poor customer service- BEWARE.

I would give them a zero. I thought I'd take a chance too and order from them. My package never arrived. I got an email later saying I returned it even though I didn't. They are going to refund me for the price that I bought the clothes for but are still charging me for shipping even though they themselves never shipped the package in the first place. So shady.
