We were unable to discover any reference to a telephone number, physical address or any information that could be used to identify who is operating this scam.
The only information we were provided would be the email address service@modbikini.com.
We were able to confirm that ModBikini had Facebook and Instagram, as they mention on their site, but we still lack the crucial insight needed to gain any idea of where this operation may be headquartered or who is responsible.
Shipping & Refunds
ModBikini.com claims to offer a 30 day return warranty yet they fail to provide a physical address that can be used to send back returns or refunds.
They mention that they have warehouses in the USA and Spain yet no physical locations are disclosed.
Refunds are estimated to take between 24 hours to 14 business days to be received, it all depends on the original payment used.
The payment accepted currently accepted by ModBikini are PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
However, given the fact that ModBikini fails to disclose any form of verifiable identifying or ownership information we must insist that consumers avoid ModBikini.

ModBikini Review Conclusion
ModBikini is not a trustworthy online retailer like they would like for you to believe.
In fact, ModBikini is affiliated with several retail scams and we predict that the ModBikini is but a small link in the chain for a growing network of retail scams.
Not long ago did the Better Business Bureau share an announcement regarding how the online retail industry is experiencing an epidemic of fake retail scams.
As we have already hinted to this realization in our previous scam reviews, it is becoming more relevant than ever to shop with verifiable and reputable marketplaces that reflect good consumer ratings.
Since many fake retailers can brainstorm, structure and release a fictitious scam sites in a matter of hours while later funneling consumers through solicitous and misleading social media marketing campaigns it is more important than ever to be on your guard!

I ordered three suits- this is the first time I have ordered from Facebook ads and it will be the last. They shipped 1 of the 3 and since then, customer service keeps telling me to be patient. It is clearly coming from China as the English is suspect- Facebook needs to be accountable for littering our feeds with fake companies. I am super irritated with myself for buying something online through Facebook. If I had said it out loud, I would not have gone on this site.
Sigh.
I had the same expeeience! I purchased a suit on June 12th and have not received it. All they say is to be patient. I requested a refund and have not heard back. Facebook should be held responsible for putting ads on our feed that are scams.
I had the same experience. Worst company ever! I will be more cautious in the future of who I purchase from online.
These sites need to be banned from social media. I too needed to return the swim suit for an improper fit. I was told I was only going to get a $5.00 refund as the shipping to return the suit to China costs between $25.00 – 30.00. What a complete scam! Buyer Beware!
The same happened to me! I received my swimsuit and it didn’t fit and the are offering to give me $6 of a $36 purchase or I would have to pay a $30-35 shipping charge to return to China. I have continued to email them about their issues without throughout this whole process. At some point I told them that conducting business saying that you had something in stock and then it be shipped from China is not having it in stock. And they just kept emailing me asking me if I could please wait and and I waited and received it and I’m still not very happy.
The same thing happened to me…. I ordered 2 suits, they billed my credit card and the swim suit never arrived. I will be contacting my credit card company and I would love to report them for fraidy. Their ads pop up on my Facebook feed daily.
This happened to me. I used a debit card and now I’m freaking out. I guess I need to call my bank? I have no idea how to handle this.
Total scam!
I saw the ad on Facebook and followed seeing the deals. I purchased a swimsuit and it did come in the mail in the designated time. Prior to it arriving, I did see the EXACT same suit on a Lilly Pulitzer website for much more. When I say exact, images on both websites and titles were same. The package did not have a matching return address, it just had some address from California. When I opened, first thing I noticed was there was no packing slip. The bathing suit was NOT what I had seen at all . I thought I was purchasing a two piece set, instead it was a one piece suit . It did not fit well either, so I emailed them for an exchange as their “website” requested. They wanted me to take measurements and send pictures to show the problem. I told them I was not going to send pictures of myself. Then , the “customer service” rep told me that if I really wanted an exchange I would have to pay for the very expensive shipping charge back to CHINA. They proceeded to tell me that they thought a refund would be best and I could donate the suit if it didn’t fit as I wanted. When I replied that would work, they would only give back a $4 refund. DO NOT buy from this scam. Found out the hard way and now I am concerned about them having my credit card information.
Same exact thing happened to me!! Only it took 2 months to first receive the shipment! They requested pictures and I said no way..they needed to see “the problem was true” I said I should be able to return just based on the fact I changed my my mind..they offered me a $6 return for 2 swimsuits. I have an open dispute through PayPal which has agreed to refund me the total but I’d have to first ship back to China..ugh so mad at myself for fall for this crap!!! Never again!
This website stolen pictures and design from beachsissi.com.
Yes the same exact thing has happened to me! I thought it was a legitimate company and I also saw it advertised on Instagram, so I assumed it was legitimate. These scams are ridiculous. There should be criminal charges against people that do this sort of thing!
Same as above. I continue to comment on FB and Insta that they are a scam & my comments are promptly removed. I paid with PayPal & I was immediately suspicious of the email address associated with their PayPal account. Instagram needs to do some due diligence with their advertisers. There is no legitimate way to get in touch with them to let them know & this ad pops up in my feed most every day.
I was directed to the Modbikini.com site through a sponsored Instagram ad. The payment process was the usual that I’ve seen and used for other company/brand online purchases so I didn’t see any red flags. But 3 weeks later I still had not received a shipping notification so I emailed them (as per their order confirmation email) and did not get any response. After doing a google search I saw this article and a few other posts on social media about similar issues. I’m currently contacting my credit card company to get a refund. I’ll definitely be more cautious in the future and not use any sites that haven’t been verified.
Did you have any luck with your credit card company?
I ordered 2 days ago and just went into the account I created when ordering ( to see if my order had been posted yet) only to be told there was no account with my email address when signing in.I rang my credit card company after reading this and explained all to them They have now cancelled my card as they said Modbikini have all my info, and they could make further charges!
