I am extremely disappointed with my experience on Shein service. I requested a refund for my recent purchase, but despite multiple follow-ups, my issue remains unresolved. It's been from october 14 th, and I still haven't received any communication or refund. Shein's associate courier service IMILE confirmed that they delivered the return item on the same day. And shein is not accepting that they received the courier. This courier servise also Shein's associate.
The customer service team has been unhelpful, providing vague responses and not addressing my concern properly. I provided all required documentation and followed their process, but the lack of response is frustrating and unprofessional.

I ordered 20+ dresses to ensure that 1 fit great and was the correct color for my daughter's destination wedding on Nov2 2024. They were delivered Oct 11,2024. Couldn't even choose one until I got to the destination on Oct 31. Was going to return what I didn't choose for wedding. When I got home I found my dad in a coma. Had to take him off life support on Nov 10th. The funeral was Nov 16. I had to pay 100% of it myself. I needed the $ from my dresses I was going to return. I tried to return them a few days after the funeral and have been denied everytime I tried due to it being outside the time frame of 30days from delivery. So I was Apx 2 weeks outside the time frame. I didn't even know I only had 30 days. I thought for sure I had at least 60 days. Returning dresses wasn't on my mind until the day I tried to return them. They refuse to make an exception. It's ridiculous and unexceptionable that they will refuse my return. I will provide proof of wedding and death certificate if I have to. I need shein to let me return these. I try every week since Nov and keep getting denied.

Terrible customer service. If you don't find a robot answer, the message box won't allow you to describe the problem sufficiently. The answer you may get is meaningless. Customer service is unable to solve a problem; e.g. if SHEIN has doubled your order and you refuse to accept the duplicate order. Terribly time consuming - never again!

Review Issue
May 11, 2024

My account has suddenly been suspended so I can no longer post reviews of received products. I'm completely confused. I haven't posted anything offensive or violated any policies. No one from the company will give me a straight answer on why this has happened! Btw,previously my reviews have been positive!

I absolutely love SHEIN! It is one of my favorite places to shop on a budget and find really cute pieces for every season. However, due to their low prices, sometimes the quality of the items aren't the best and the sizing can be off at times so it's super important to check your measurements before placing an order. I've found that at times the clothes fit awkwardly due to their cheap material. Another issue, is that some pieces are see- through and you have to be extremely cautious of what you wear underneath. Most of the time, I am in love with my purchases and they exceed my expectations, especially for their great prices! I did a youtube video on some clothes that I purchased for the summer season and I was super happy with my purchase.

I will not order from Shein again. Both shirts are flimsy, poor quality fabric. With one shirt I wondered if it was a plastic-type material; felt bad on. Both were undersize for the size they implied.

Cheap for a reason buyer beware
January 10, 2022

So, I was hoping these items were as cute as look online. And lots of folks call it "hit and miss". For me, it's a distinct MISS. I have ordered twenty or so items over the last 8 months or so. I gathered it all together in my closet. I have worn ONE item a couple of times. Ask your granny about cheap, double-knit polyester fabric of the 70s and her grimace will tell you all you need to know. Only this is even cheaper, thinner than that stuff of her day. Items are generally ill-fitting, cheaply made and don't fall on me like they appear in the ads. If you like surprises and are into the idea that "I'll order ten things and maybe find one I like" and only be out 50 bucks, then this is for you. Personally, I gave it a good run and am done.

My Shein Review
July 31, 2020

I love shopping at Shein, I have only ever had to return one item to them before due to it being a bit small. I have ordered numerous items from them including shoes, clothes, fashion jewelry and hair accessories and I have never had any issues with the website. Delivery's and refunds have always been processed quickly as well considering they are not based in England and come from quite a distance away.

Their clothes are such good quality for the price also and always fit amazingly. I have spent hundreds on Shein now and refuse to shop anywhere else. I love their app also, it shows previous buyers reviews under each item which helps you make a better decision on it before buying. You can earn points to take money off orders too by checking in each day, buying stuff and reviewing products you buy. I like that they do coupons and discounts every so often too.

Love love love Shein!

I am in love with sheinside.com! They always have amazing sales going on and adorable clothes for every occasion! All their clothes are cute, classy, and there is such a wide variety of options for every girls' style. This is for sure the first place I go to do my shopping. At such amazing prices its truly hard to beat (even against all the name brands out there). I love sharing the site with all my friends and guess where I got my friends gifts this year? You guessed it! To top it all off I just found the most adorable dress for my New Years party! http://us.sheinside.com/Black-Contrast-Hollow-Lace-Pleated-Dress-p-*******-cat-1727.html They ship fast and are by far my favorite site to shop!

Go SLOWLY... don't order IMPULSIVELY
November 12, 2021

Shein is a great way to shop for low use items... t-shirts etc... but buyer beware when you want something a little more stylish. Example: I bought a fedora hat for $10. Please see photos! After trying to fix it realized it was also made wrong on top of shipped wrong... shop cautiously

I have placed several orders with SheIn and every time I received my shipments within a reasonable time frame. For the most part there clothing is decent and sometimes fantastic quality. Especially for the low price tag. I have only ever received 1 item where the quality was not so great. To tell you the truth I would purchase from SheIn before I ever would Fashion Nova again. Shein's quality is better and half the price. They also always give coupons and issue points. I purchased 18 items for a total of $204 tonight and after applying my points and coupon I only paid $157. Now that's a deal I can get with!

I have ordered clothes for my baby twice from SHEIN and I have had positive experiences both times. The clothes are beautiful and made of quality materials. They have the coolest designs for babies that I haven't seen anywhere else. A nice selection of tie dye, which is what I was searching for. And the prices are very good. Shipping takes a little longer than I expected, which is why I only gave four stars, but I will definitely be purchasing from them again and again! I'm very happy with my purchases! The fit was perfect, too!

Very hit or miss!
September 13, 2020

SHEIN is an overseas company that sells a huge variety of different items. SHEIN products are surprisingly cheap and thus is why buying from them is very hit or miss in the quality of what you purchased.
Clothing is sometimes really good and sometimes horrible as well as some of their household products.
Also, I've learned with shipping from them that a lot of the pictures they use to show the product are VERY deceiving! Example: in my pictures below. I bought this mirror thinking that it was meant to put on a table or wherever to than use for your face, well when I got it I was very taken aback at actually how incredibly small it is because they showed it as looking like normal size. You can see in my pictures it's only the size of my hand.

UPDATE*** Someone did reach out from SHEIN. They kept me updated on the status of my order and refunded a partial amount and I still received my order. The time it took to get my order with their website reporting Misleading, short delays and being unable to reach them via their website was a huge frustration for me. But in the end, I received my items, partial credit was issued and issue resolved! I have upgraded from 1 star to 4.

I ordered on 4/4 and my order shows it's awaiting picking. I know there is a delay due to Corona, but this is crazy! I'm almost ready to get a refund if my order is not shipped by Friday

Returning is difficult

Will not order again
December 16, 2024

I ordered home decorating items from Shein worth £360, but my experience has been absolutely terrible. The order arrived in a single box, which was suspiciously sealed with two different types of tape. Upon opening, I discovered that items worth around £25 were missing. I contacted Sheins customer service multiple times, but all I got was an unhelpful response claiming they "can't help me." To make matters worse, they completely stopped replying to my messages.

This level of service is unacceptable for a company handling such high-value orders. I feel ignored and cheated. I will never shop with Shane again and would strongly advise others to think twice before placing an order with them. Terrible service and zero accountability!
