I wear size 38 in everything so I ordered a size 38. The item I received was at least 6" smaller than 38. I contacted Tanga and they quickly provided me with a return shipping label. Two week later I receive an email stating I will be receiving my refund of $8.47. They owe me $15.89 NOT $8.47. Their Customer Disservice stated the shorts were not defective therefore I must pay for return shipping. I will never buy another item from such crooked people. BTW - the shorts are now being offered as non-refundable. Let the buyer beware.
