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

Do not buy from this company

Do not buy from this company! I bought a cap from billabong two months ago and it never arrived. I have still received no response from customer services about a refund or resending the item. Up until this point I have always had good delivery experiences with billabong but am really disappointed by this recent experience.

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM HERE!

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM HERE. I have attempted to get a refund for returned items and have been completely ignored. Only received automated replies and there's no phone number. I have had to go through my bank to dispute the charge. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP PROOF OF POSTAGE IF YOU RETURN. COMPLETE SCAM MERS!

Wish I’d checked these reviews before purchase!

Delivery was fast and products were great. Needed to return 2 items. Started process. Returned items. Then silence. Raised a support request. Got generic auto reply. Replied requesting assistance…. 4 times I’ve done this and had zero response. Trying to do a chargeback now. Dreadful support. Avoid.

I’ve bought things in the past and have always found return’s difficult but I’ve even got return information and no refund. I’ve tried ringing and email for 2 months and not had a single return email other than a standard generated one. I’m still trying to contact them hopefully they may see this though I doubt it very much.

Basically a scam site

I ordered 2 pairs of swimming shorts. The parcel arrived contained only 1 pair. I emailed customer and received no response. So I've basically been scammed. I had heard of Billabong growing up but this is NOT the same company now. Do NOT order here, there is a high chance things will go wrong and you will be out of pocket.

The order never arrived, customer service only sends automated responses and does not offer to help, do not order from Billabong

Do not purchase with Billabong it you have any intention of returning the item

The order arrived with no issues after 10 days. I realised it was a 16" pair of shorts with an inner lining, not quite what I wanted and I started the returns process. When trying to create a returns label you are asked to enter the order number. The AI response did not recognise my order number, after 9 attempts and several hours trying it in different formats I gave up. There is no customer service other than continual ai responses. Do not order from Billabong!

Customer service is now awful.

Customer service is now awful.
Can’t despatch an item within the timeframe but can’t cancel either. Have to wait for a late delivery to return and close account. Bizarre business.
Also have to wait 10 after they have received a return before they will process a refund!
Plenty more options to buy clothing from.
