Hello Marie,
We are sincerely sorry to hear that your order did not arrive on time. Our warehouse did ship the package on time, but it seems that the carrier TNT had a bit of a delay. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Response from GILI’S
Hello Jérémy,
We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
After checking, your order was indeed prepared and shipped within 24 hours, in accordance with our deadlines.
However, it seems that a delay occurred at the Colissimo sorting center in Bouches-du-Rhône, independent of our will.
We understand that this setback has been frustrating and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. We hope to have the opportunity to offer you a better experience on your next order.
See you soon,
The GILI'S team

Unjustified quality price report. Riding the wave of the French slip, we know the rest... you will have to, in my opinion, lower your prices or increase the perceived quality...
Translated reviews
Response from GILI’S
Hello Anthony,
Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion.
We are sorry that the ordered swimsuit did not meet your expectations.
At GILI'S, our prices reflect clear choices: manufacturing in Portugal, carefully selected materials, and controlled volumes to ensure consistent quality.
All this in an economic context where the entire sector has been heavily impacted in recent years.
The comparison with Le Slip Français does not offend us, quite the opposite. It is a brand we respect for its journey. Like many players in ready-to-wear, it had to adapt to the post-Covid upheavals and the crisis that followed, which unfortunately led many brands to disappear.
If you would like to specify what specifically disappointed you about the product (material, cut, finishes...), we would be happy to discuss it: your feedback is useful.
Best regards,
The GILI'S team

The size m is not the same as my previous purchases. What to do??
Translated reviews
Response from GILI’S
Hello,
Thank you for your message. Could you tell us a bit more?
We cannot find any order associated with your name.
We adjusted our sizes in 2022 because some models were small, but we have not had similar feedback recently. It is therefore possible that it is a labeling issue.
Could you check our size guide and see if there is a difference greater than 2 cm compared to the model you received?
If so, we will proceed with an exchange of your swimsuit without any problem.
Thank you very much for your help,
Have a great day,
Best regards,
The GILI'S team

Quality to be confirmed over time. To be hoped for given the price. The fluorescent yellow cords, even if they are emblematic of the brand, sometimes clash with the sobriety of the main color. Product return not free. The refund took more than a month after I requested it.

Response from GILI’S
Hello Sir, We are sincerely sorry if the swim shorts you ordered are too small. Being from an old collection, it is possible that this model runs small, we should have noted this in the product description. Our customer service informed you of this error by email and offered you an exchange with another model a few days ago. We hope you have seen this message. Please know that we have reviewed all sizes of our recent collections and that all our current models comply with market standards.

Avoid, they are thieves and scammers. I bought a swimsuit for 125 euros embroidered (Daddy cool) for Father's Day. The size did not fit. I really had a hard time searching and finding the return procedure. It cost me money on one hand and on the other hand I received an email a few days later informing me that the item would be returned to me because embroidered items are neither exchangeable nor refundable. This is not specified anywhere on their site. I simulated a purchase of the swimsuit with embroidery option because I thought I might have missed the info, but it is not mentioned at any point in the procedure. Given the prices, I thought embroidered items could be exchanged. I am very disappointed. An honest company would not do this kind of thing or would inform their customers clearly and precisely.

Error in my order since you did not deliver the right product. Difficult to return because: - very unclear internet procedure. - very complicated to find a phone number to contact an operator. Moreover, during a previous order, the color of the swimsuit photo on your site was very different from your shipment. You are really not ready for online sales. Huge progress to be made, especially in customer service. Don't forget that you need to satisfy CUSTOMERS. Hoping that with all my troubles, I will be entitled to a REAL commercial gesture because... your products are pretty and I appreciate them.

Hello Alexandre, We are sorry we could not respond to your request. Indeed, as we replied to you, it was unfortunately not possible. Our warehouse starts processing orders early in the morning and, due to the volume of orders, it then becomes impossible to search for a specific order once it is ready to be shipped. We do our best to respond to this type of request, but sometimes we cannot achieve it, as was the case this time. We hope you were satisfied with your subsequent orders! We wish you a good day. The Gili's team.

Terrible customer service. No way to contact them by phone, only by email with a 48-hour response time. I paid for a 24-hour delivery which was only received after 3 days. As I was leaving the location (hence the choice of 24-hour delivery), I couldn't receive my package. Disparaging response (by email) from Emma, customer service, who wanted to remind me that Gili did everything possible. I dream. Gili did nothing extraordinary except take my order and my money. The responsibility for the delay of your carrier is yours because the contract is with you. In any case, it is certainly not mine. Learn the meaning of the words 'customer service'.
