If you are interested in never receiving your packages, do consider buying from SheIN. They will guarantee you frustration with plenty of excuses. Starting off with the delivery company they use first saying "package was undeliverable due to safety of package missing"... then you wait. And wait... and wait for them to say you need to take up the dispute with SheIN. Who turns around and says file a complaint online because they inconveniently have no customer service phone number or online chat to handle disputes. Once you file, you must have photo proof that you never received the package... so I took photos of my empty front porch. They referred me back to ONTRAC delivery service who finally say "we will check on this for you". After much anticipation, they say the package was delivered. NOT! So I reach out to SheIN who says "Oopsy! Sorry, Not Sorry! You have exceed your 30 day dispute deadline. Thank you for shopping with us and shop some more." Me being the idiot for abuse that I am, I tried 4 more times. To which they nice enough to take my money and provide ZERO product using the same scam methods of check with ONTRAC, file with ONTRAC, file with SheIN, show proof it wasn't delivered, Sorry, Not Sorry 30 days dispute period ran out.

Unless you enjoy picking out NOTHING products, paying for NOTHING and Recieving NOTHING, do NOT by from this SCAM! If I could give them a negative 4 star I would. I am surprised they have not been shutdown.

I've shopped with Shein a few times. I noticed every time I go to check out, they do not apply my promo code. Also, I noticed they change the price on you want to go check out. I have photos of the price before I put it in my car and the price after I add it to my cart. They upped it by 6 or 7 dollar. That's fraud. I will no longer referral or shop at Shein

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Hurrendous customer services
Do not think customer services will help when returning items; this is 2nd time their replies are beyond belief! Even if you have returns receipt, they never reply with a proper answer. You don't get anywhere with their so called customer services, it's hurrendous.
Make sure you pay by credit card as you have to waste more of your time, to raise a dispute
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
Yours truthfully

It's crazy how when you purchase something from this site and can't fit it, it's hard trying to return the items. It wouldn't let me upload my pic to return the items. It shouldn't be that hard to do a return. I will never order from shein again it's impossible to talk to someone from shein!

December 3, 2023

They don't deliver but they say delivered. This is second time happening to me. Last time they refunded but this time I am still looking for the package but not getting anywhere. Back to back two time this happening to me. Earlier i never had this issue. I am thinking of not ordering from shein again coz I don't like to go through this hustle. I like their dress but I am left with no option if they continue poor delivery method.

I bought a beautiful pair of boots, but they were too big. I never used them, just tried them on. They were in perfect condition, but the wrong size for me. They were listed as eligible for return, so I returned them. Without opening the package, Shein sent them back to me marked as "return to sender". So, I contacted customer service and a week later, they mailed me a "new" return label, with the same WRONG address on it. I told customer service this was the same wrong address, but he insisted it was correct. So, a week later the boots were returned to me AGAIN.

Finally, I was given a third return address. I paid $32.00 for the postage because Shein would not send me a label.

AND GUESS WHAT? THE BOOTS ARE BACK ON MY F&CKING DOORSTEP

Honestly, I see the same exact sh*t being sold on Amazon. Even though it's more expensive on Amazon, I will NEVER buy from SHEIN EVER AGAIN because this return debacle has now cost me over $100 in postage and return fees and I still don't have my refund and am now stuck with boots that don't fit me.

Hoping I can sell them on Ebay or Mercari and get my money back that way.

But, Shein has left me in tears with this frustration.

My Order # is GSUNSV49Q00NX04 in case anyone working at Shein actually cares

Horrible product
November 30, 2023

I recently ordered a casual two outfit from these people which finally arrived. Just picking up the package I could immediately tell that it was poor quality. Upon opening the package it was as I suspucted, very poor quality, being so thin that you can see straight through it. This is definitely something that I'd never wear, and will throw in the trash. Avoid this company and their products by all means because it's a rip off. If I could've given a half star, I would've.

CANCEL SHEIN!
November 30, 2023

I thought shein was one of the best and affordable at some point. I ordered things for my new dog and I get an email for EACH AND EVERY ITEM being asked for my payment verification something about risk prevention. Customer service is just over all the worst thing ever they don't help and god do I wish I could curse here. But after a few days trying to contact and speak to someone all they did was say that it was processing and a few days later I get more emails about verification. They cancelled my WHOLE order. I will never waste my time with F"@$? SHEIN ever again. For all that I'll deal with TEMU. And I hope "SHEIN" doesn't respond with " I'm sorry for the inconvenience" I don't need to click contact agent because I did that a thousand times!

Hit or Miss
November 29, 2023

Stick With Amazon! This place is a joke. It's literally hit or miss. Maybe you'll receive something decent or maybe it'll feel cheap & itchy. Maybe you'll get your package or maybe they'll let it pass through so many hands, without tracking availability, that it'll just disappear. Over these bootleg little shops with all the hype but zero results! If you have time & money to blow you'll love this place
