Longer than announced delivery time
Not so much on the product itself, but do expect a longer delivery than expected. I hope to receive my product and it be worth the wait.

Considering I’m a size 8 and I have a heavy bottom this material is nice and stretchy and fits well!

Thank you so much! So glad the stretch works with your shape and fits just right. Enjoy it! ☀️

Bikini top was absolutely sheer. Upon trying to return, discovered that the "buy two get one free" promotion made ALL returns ineligible - final sale. Company stated this is in its terms, which are not visible upon check out, in the cart, or on the website - ONLY in the buried terms and conditions. Deceptive promotional practices all to get you to buy trash that you can't wear out in public. Don't buy!

Hi Alison, we're sorry — a sheer top you can't wear, then finding the "buy 2 get 1" made it final sale, is a genuinely frustrating experience. You're right that terms shouldn't feel buried, and we're sharing that feedback internally. We'd like to look at your order personally — please email [email protected] and we'll see what we can do for you.

Misleading Return Policy – Order #31840 The merchant advertises a 30-day return policy. However, the policy contains a condition that effectively makes returns impossible for virtually every customer. The company states that items purchased with a promotion or discount are ineligible for return. The problem is that promotions and discount codes are automatically embedded into the checkout process and applied to orders by default. Customers are not given the option to remove these promotions or complete their purchase without them. I personally attempted to remove the promotion and was unable to do so. This means that even something as insignificant as receiving a complimentary promotional item (for example, a free scrunchie) or having an automatically applied discount immediately voids the advertised return policy. Because every order receives some form of automatic promotion or discount that cannot be declined, the company's advertised 30-day return policy is, in practice, unavailable to consumers. In other words, the company advertises a return policy that customers cannot realistically use because they are automatically placed into a category that disqualifies them from making a return. After researching this issue, I discovered that many other customers have experienced the exact same problem. I have compiled complaints from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Trustpilot, and the company's social media pages (Instagram and Facebook), all describing the same experience: customers believing they were protected by the advertised return policy, only to discover after purchase that an automatically applied promotion made their purchase ineligible for return. This demonstrates that my experience is not an isolated incident but appears to reflect a recurring business practice affecting numerous consumers. Re: Response from BetterTan Swim I previously reached out to the email address mentioned several days ago but have not received a response. I did, however, receive a reply from the original conversation from "Teodora" (who I suspect to be AI) stating that, as an exception, I could return the swimsuits for a refund. The issue is that I am now being instructed to arrange and pay for return shipping myself, which is quite expensive from Denmark, with the offer of store credit to help offset that cost. This raises two concerns. First, after this experience, I have no intention of making future purchases from BetterTan, so store credit has no value to me. Second, we are once again faced with the same ambiguity surrounding your return policy. The website states: EU customers: "$15 returns processing fee deducted." International customers: "Customer covers return postage." I reside in Denmark, which is a member of the European Union. Based on the language published on the website, it is reasonable to understand that EU customers are subject to a $15 return processing fee, while the separate provision requiring customers to pay return postage applies to customers outside the EU. Instead, I have now been instructed to pay for international return shipping myself. This directly contradicts the wording of your published policy. Throughout this process, I have received multiple, conflicting explanations of your return procedure, each differing from the last. These inconsistencies have only reinforced my concern that the policy is unclear and is being interpreted differently depending on the circumstances. Given these contradictions, I am not comfortable shipping merchandise internationally at my own expense with only the expectation that a refund will be issued weeks later. As a result, I have elected to pursue this matter through my credit card issuer rather than continue attempting to navigate an inconsistent return process.

Hi Caren, thank you for laying this out so clearly, and we're sorry for the frustration around order #31840. Your point about discounts being applied automatically and then affecting return eligibility is important, and we're reviewing how that policy is communicated at checkout. We'd like to resolve your specific case directly — please email [email protected] referencing order #31840 and we'll look into it personally.

The bikini is decent! It’s nice that it doesn’t leave indents on the hip area like most bikinis. Little disappointed that it said 4-6 days for shipping and it was actually 3 weeks…..
Response from BetterTan SwimJul 22, 2026
Hi Abbie, thank you — so glad you love the no-indent fit! We're sorry the shipping ran to three weeks when it should have been days; that's not the experience we want and we're working on it. If it caused you any trouble, email [email protected] and we'll help.

It's a dropshipping platform. Ordered an overpriced bikini, got something so sheer there's no way I could wear it (and I'm not exactly modest either). If you use the first time purchase discount you become ineligible for a refund. They will only offer store credit. Beware!
Response from BetterTan SwimJul 22, 2026
Hi Vivian, we're sorry the suit arrived too sheer to wear and that the first-purchase discount left you unable to return it — that's a frustrating combination and we hear you. We'd genuinely like to make it right; please email [email protected] with your order number and we'll look at your options directly.

My original order got lost in the mail, and they corrected it right away and got back to me in a timely manner and even gave me a free little gift because of the troubles!
Response from BetterTan SwimJul 22, 2026
Thank you, Gabrielle! 🧡 So glad our team sorted the lost order quickly — and we hope you enjoyed the little gift. Happy tanning!

One piece black bathing suit was a great fit and love the quick dry material. Shipping took a long time though
Response from BetterTan SwimJul 22, 2026
Thank you, Daphne! So glad the one-piece fits and you love the quick-dry. Sorry the shipping took a while — we're working on faster delivery. Enjoy it! ☀️
