Sweaters pilled and the company was unresponsive during refund process.
“Both pilled โafter a few wearsโ looked terrible!”
Reviews show two consistent patterns: many customers are satisfied with product styling, fit and prompt delivery, while a substantial group reports problems with returns, refunds and responsiveness. Specific quality issues cited include pilling, holes after washing and occasional damaged items in transit. Several shoppers recommend checking size guidance carefully and reviewing the return policy before ordering, given reported refund and return delays. If you rely on fast, reliable customer service, consider buying a single item first or purchasing in-store where possible to verify fit and fabric.

I recently had the pleasure of using products from Mer Sea and I have to say, they truly live up to their tagline "Crafted for the journey". From start to finish, my experience with their products was nothing but positive.
Firstly, I was impressed by the variety of items offered. As someone who loves to travel and be on-the-go, it's important for me to have versatile pieces that can keep up with my lifestyle. Mer Sea offers everything from cozy blankets for long plane rides, to lightweight beach wraps perfect for warm weather escapes.
When my package arrived, I was immediately drawn in by the beautiful packaging - it felt like I had received a special gift just for myself. And once I opened it up and tried on some of the garments? It only got better! The quality is top-notch and they really put thought into ensuring each item is both comfortable and stylish.
Overall, after using these products during several trips now (and always getting compliments when wearing them!), it's safe to say that Mer Sea has become my go-to brand when searching for adventure essentials.
