I've been ordering clothes from SheIn for a long time and I only had the best experience so far. Their clothes always fit well, the material is good quality and it is very chic and trendy. Everyone asks me, where I shop my outfits. SheIn is my first choice when I want shopping. The customer service and delivery is fantastic too! I highly recommend this online shop.

I always love the items sold at Shein, while the quality is not always 100% good, I cannot complain considering the low price. I am talking about the items that I have purchases in the past. I like them all... I love how easy the checkout process is however, they always failed to meet their promised delivery times. If you need an item urgently, you cannot rely on SheIn even if you pay for their fastest shipping. Trust me. BUT if you are okay with waiting, considering the quality of their items and the low price, SheIn is one of them good options to buy clothes from.

40+ dollars to waste!
April 11, 2016

I ordered some boots they were way too big! After trying and trying to teach you guys via email (only contact info they provide) and getting NO reply I decided to just ship back using the address that was on the bag that the shoes were shipped in, i put a letter on the inside with order id & reason for return, I just asked for a smaller size listed size I needed and everything! It's been a month & no refund or shoes! They weren't cheap either 40 $#*!ing bucks to waste! Not to mention the 17 dollars I was charged to ship back! Unless I receive my damn shoe exchange or money back I will never purchase from you guys again.

Hi Jackie,

We’re truly sorry for what happened with your order.

I have checked with our customer service team, they already issued the refund to your SheIn Wallet on Mar 31st, please log in to check that. The funds could either be applied in your next order or withdrawn to your credit card.

Sometimes our customers email may end up in our spam, or the other way round, that might be one reason why you failed to get in touch with us, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

We’re always happy to help our customers with their return, whether refund or exchange, and we’re doing everything we can to make it easier (building local warehouses, offering return labels) in the future, and we hope you would enjoy your next purchase on our site.

AMAZING!
October 12, 2015

I do not normally write reviews, but I would just like to point out that I was very pleased with the entire interaction with www.sheinside.com. The collections were precisely portrayed, ordering/shipping was a breeze, and staff is friendly. Not only that, but the quality of the dresses were outstanding! I will definitely order again!

Cute Items
April 22, 2015

The site selection is modern and very cute. I have ordered a few items ranging from a top, a dress, and a bag. Shipping is not terribly bad, though it can take a little while. If you have questions the customer service representatives are friendly and willing to take the time to answer everything.

Express Delivery!
September 14, 2017

3-5 days for EXPRESS delivery! They never achieve this within the time frame, always takes longer. (they should just say 5 + for Express and longer for Standard) it is annoying when you buy something as a gift and it doesn't arrive till after the event date!

I found quite a few items I wanted to buy on the website. I ended up ordering 2 items~ 1 necklace *The Silver Diamond Chain Necklace* and a super cute black jumpsuit *Black Spaghetti Strap V Neck Jumpsuit*. The ordering process was easy. The shipping was easily tracked and came when expected. The necklace is very nice and I have worn it twice already and it looks great! The jumpsuit is very true to size and looks really cute on. I was very happy with my first purchase with SheInside.com and will be making my next order very soon! :)

First off, the customer service is beyond horrible! They will wait until you complain to focus on your order. My order sat in the warehouse for 5 days before it finally shipped but on the website its says ships in 24 hrs when you add the item to you're cart. LIES! I had to find SiteJabbar in order to get a response from someone from Sheinside. Secondly, Ladies if you are on the curvy & busty side DO NOT BOTHER they're clothes run small. Im not gonna send my 2 items back because Im pretty much done with this company. I dont want the hassle. To *******@shein Im not deleting this review because this is a honest review so no thanks to your 25% off compensation. So do not email me anymore. I guess you get what you pay for! NEVER AGAIN!

Dear customer,
Nice day.

Sorry for the late reply and leaving you such negative impression.
We have checked for you, and found that your package really has been shipped on August 20th. Because the logistics company needs time to update the information, sometimes we may not be able to get the detailed information until it has been arrived at your country. Hope you can kindly understand. We noticed that your package has been arrived at your country, the logistics information also has been updated already, you can track your package now. In order to protect your personal privacy, we will send the email to you about your detailed tracking number and the link. Please remember that you are important for us, we never deceive you. It is not our duty but also our honor to offer you the best online shopping experience. Hope you can trust us and give us one chance again.

If there is any problem, please feel free to contact us via dispute@shein.com.
Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely.

Very bad
July 9, 2023

The process of returning money is very difficult in this application and is not understood and does not respect people and their money... While on other sites, returning money is quick and inevitable and does not take more than two days. And their money... They took back their things without giving me my money. When they came back, the answering machine answered us that it takes time and that we have to wait!... They even do not respect people at all. They have to allocate a work team that answers directly to an international phone line... I am now obligated to get my money back to buy items with them instead of taking cash from them as I paid them... Unfortunately, I will get my money back and I will delete this disrespectful app his clients

Have waited over a month for my order to arrive, the tracking number has had not been updated since about the 5th of January (it is now the 20th). I usually order from SHEIN and have no problems whatsoever but lately, things have been of worse quality, slower delivery times and more expensive. Probably the last time i order from this website if i don't get my order this week. It's gone past the estimated delivery time and my order is still nowhere to be found!

Can't return
July 26, 2017

I wish to return two items from my order (one size was a lot smaller than expected), but the order doesn't appear in 'My Orders', therefore I can't fill out a ticket, therefore I can't return them. No phone number or e-mail is supplied.

Hi Barbara,

Thank you for ordering from our website.
We checked your order, you have two accounts on our website, one is registered by your Facebook account, and another one is registered by the email address.
You checked your Facebook account, but you have made the order on another account, that is why you could not find the order.
And please confirm with us which items you want to return, we will certainly help you return and refund.

Waiting for your reply!

Not this time, Satan!
November 30, 2021

I ordered from SHEIN before, needed cheap quality gym jerseys to workout, great fast delivery the 1st time. I was expecting a black jogger under $25 never received it but got my money back regardless! Really disappointed with SHEIN's customer service this time. I understand its the Black Friday frenzy but next time act more professional.

Would order again
April 17, 2017

Just received my order from SheIn. I was impressed. If you order, make sure you pay attention to the measurements. They run true to size(maybe a little smaller). I would definitely order again! Shipping took two weeks, but I was aware of the wait.

I made the mistake of ordering from this site before checking the reviews. A few hours after placing my order, I opened up a ticket to cancel it. Due to the time difference, I suppose, 2 of my items were already shipped by the time they got to my cancellation request. But they responded immediately and notified me that because 2 items have already shipped, they could refund the remainder of my purchase in 3-5 business days.

I received my refund in just a few days and they even gave me a discount coupon. My 2 items arrived in about 4 days - VERY quickly. My ONLY complaint is the terrible quality of my items. Due to the prices, I def. Expected their clothing to be cheaply made, but the lapels do not line up, the seam is coming apart. I will not be returning the items, as they were so inexpensive.

Overall, I was extremely satisfied with their customer service, but quality of clothing was below what I expected.

Hi Emma,

Thank you for ordering from our website, we are so sorry for all the troubles.
Please confirm with us which item you have not received, we will certainly refund you.
And the shipping is free, did the shipping company charge you $15? It might be the customs fee, please send us the photo of receipt, we could refund half of cost to you for compensation.

Waiting for your reply!

Not bad

I ordered a sweater from them and it was even better than I expected. They sell the same items as Romwe. The only problem is the order process and shipping time. They really take too long to ship your order even with express shipping.
