Worst Company Ever!
October 11, 2017

I ordered a coat from them and it looks nothing like the pictures and looks so tacky! I want to take this back but when I try to log in it says my password is not correct, so I go to forgot password and enter my email and I never receive an email. So I cannot return the coat because I cant get onto my account to submit a ticket! I am on their online chat and no one is replying to me! So I feel like I am stuck with this tacky coat and money down in my account!

I order two cropped sweatshirts. Unfortunately, neither are made of regular "sweatshirt material." The material is thin, itchy, and see-through. There is absolutely no stretchiness in either of the sweatshirts. They grey one has varsity stripes on the sleeves. When I took the shirt out of the bag, the sleeves were stuck together by the white stripes. Many people said they run small, so I ordered them a size up, and they fit decently. The width of the sleeves and torso is fine. The sleeves were a good length but the torso part was way shorter than in the picture in the website. Unfortunately I won't be able to wear this out in public. For reference, I'm 5'2" 100lbs and I ordered a size medium. The one good thing was that my items came in 11 days, without expiditied shipping.

SheIn clothes are very trendy, stylish and extremely affordable. The price often reflects the quality, though, you get what you pay for. I rarely wear trendy items more than once or twice in a season, so I don't mind the low-quality and would prefer to save a few dollars! With that mind set, SheIn is a fantastic place to shop with decent shipping speed and price. As for the sizing, just read the measurements and reviews and you'll be fine.

Dear Joy,

Thank you for ordering from our website.
We are so sorry for keeping you waiting for the refund.
In fact, the refund was issued on August 31st. It normally takes 10-20 BUSINESS days for the bank to process the refund to a credit card. However, in your case, DISCOVER's system is experiencing an error, which caused the delay.
To solve this out, we will change the refund method. The refund will be processed to your PayPal account. Please don't worry.
We apologize for the delay and regret any inconvenience it may have caused.

Sincerely,
SHEIN Customer Service

The reviews were pretty good so I took my chances. The two items came in and they are extremely small. I bought the biggest size in the sweat shirts to make sure they would fit my daughter. She was heart broken when they came in and did not fit. An XL fit more like a medium maybe even a small. I normally wear a large and that is with room to spare but I could not breath when I put these on they were so tight. They were super cute in person and we will pass them along to someone that will get use out of them. Not worth the trouble to ship them back. I will not be ordering again because XL is the largest they had and that runs too small.

When you order, and when you look at the estimated time to get the item charts, it says 2-4 business day express, 6-8 standard. But look more closely on the faqs page, and it reveals that they only start counting those days after processing, and they give no guess on how long processing takes! You shouldn't have to dig around on a site to get an honest delivery estimate. Also, sizing frequently does not match up w/US sizes. My other complaint is that their website search function works poorly--with thousands of items, you need to be able to refine search parameters. And why so may minis when I search "long skirt" or "maxi"? Makes no sense.

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.

Does Not Issue Refund
September 30, 2017

I ordered a few clothing items and as expected, the inexpensive clothing had very poor quality. I returned almost my entire order because I was so disappointed in the clothing. I received confirmation that my returned items had been received and a credit would be made to my "Shein wallet". I quickly withdrew the money from the wallet and was informed that it would take 15-20 days to have the charge taken off my credit card. After this time no credit was reflected on my credit card. I reached out to customer service and was instructed to give them my PayPal account because crediting to my credit card would take even more time. I gave them my PayPal account (later to read that this is a way Internet scammers steal money) and was told to wait 2-3 day/s. Still no refund! It has been over 2 months since I returned my clothing items and have not seen a refund. My recommendation would be to NOT SHOP HERE OR GET SCAMMED BY THEIR PAYPAL SCAM.
