Return and Exchange Policy Guidelines

o        Returned merchandise must be in New, Unwashed and Unused Condition, and in the same original packaging. Merchandise must have all original tags and nylon fastener attachments attached to it, and tags must be un-altered, and not disconnected cut or damaged. We are able to tell when tags have been reattached with your own pricing gun. Once the tags are removed, the merchandise is yours. No exceptions. We will Not Accept Returns of merchandise with obvious signs of use, laundered, mishandled, abused, wadded up, soiled, smells of body odor,  perfume, pet hair, stains or any other foreign odors, if the merchandise is damaged while in your possession, or the hygienic liner or protective strip has been removed.  All garments are thoroughly inspected before leaving the factory to make sure that your garment is not damaged when you receive it.

o        BIKINIS, SWIMSUIT TOPS, SWIMSUIT BOTTOMS, ONE PIECE AND TWO PIECE SWIMSUITS, are returnable for an exchange only. THONG BIKINI BOTTOMS, TONGA BIKINI BOTTOMS and G STRING BIKINI BOTTOMS, NON COVERAGE BOTTOMS and CLEARANCE ITEMS and SPECIAL ORDER ITEMS, due to Health Regulations and to protect the consumer, and because they may have been tried on, worn, soiled or removed from their package are final sales. If a bikini or swimsuit item is received incorrectly or has a manufacturing defect upon receiving your order you will receive the option to exchange only. No refunds will be issued. If an exact replacement is not available, you may select a similar item of equal value.  Unauthorized returns will be refused and returned to you. A ground shipping and handling charge  will be applied to your account to ship your return package back to you, or a return shipping and handling charge for orders outside of the Contiguous United States, and for International orders, as they are posted on our shipping page.

o    Shipping charges for returns will be at the customer's expense both ways.

o    Store Credits issued up until 12-31-2010 are good for one year from date of issue. After one year the store credit is no longer valid and cannot be used. We no longer issue store credits.

o   Hot tubs, swimming pools, prolonged periods of sun exposure and suntan lotions may cause fading to your bathing suits, yellowing or stains may develop on your swimsuits. These situations are not considered defects and, therefore, bathing suits may not be returned for any of these mentioned reasons. Once the tags are removed from bathing suits they may not be returned for any reason whatsoever.

o    Due to the variations in screen resolutions, the actual colors may look different. Due to the layout of the fabrics, the placement of prints may differ from the images on our web site and thus, are not considered defective or a misrepresentation of the actual item(s) shipped to you.

  • We will not be responsible if the merchandise you ship back to us is lost in the mail. We strongly recommend that you use certified or insured mail, with a tracking number or delivery confirmation, as we cannot be responsible for items lost in the mail.
  • If we ship a package to you  and it comes back to us either as "Refused" or as "Undeliverable" due to a bad shipping address that was provided by the customer, you will have a choice of either receiving a refund for your purchase less shipping and handling charges, and a 25% restocking fee will be incurred for each item you have ordered. Also, if you received free shipping with your purchase a $13 shipping and handling charge will apply.  Otherwise, you may choose to have us re-ship the package back to you at your expense. In this case, please go to our shipping section of our website and pay for the shipping charge to re-ship your package. Once you have completed your shipping payment, we will re-ship your merchandise back to you.
  • Due to the delicate makeup of swimwear products, please return these items in a protective box to insure a refund or an exchange. If we receive your returned merchandise in a damaged state due to bad packaging or due to the fault of your carrier, then you will need to collect damages from the carrier in question, assuming you shipped the package to us insured. We will not be able to issue a refund in this situation.
  • Once the shipping carrier drops off your package with tracking information, at the address you give us on your order, we are no longer responsible for your package. We will not be held responsible under any circumstances for delays in delivery of your purchased merchandise and any associated damages, due to delays in carrier delivery, due to events beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God or public enemy, floods, fire, civil disobedience, lockouts, strikes, freight embargoes and acts of federal, state or local government. 
  • All authorized returns that meet our Return and Exchange Policy set forth above will result in a refund or an exchange to the credit card used in the original purchase.
