Honestly im speechless, i havent recieved this kind of behavior from a retailer EVER! I ordered something a week ago and it hasnt even shipped yet and is still processing. Their frwaking customer service page doesnt even exist and i wait for hours on their live chat but its damn fake and nobody ever even comes on the live chat. I came to read reviews because I thought maybe I made a mistake and its a fake company since theres no news of my order and they have no customer service, number, live chat, nothing. So dissapointed
So I placed my order on 5/5/17. Unfortunately, up to this day still My Order hasn't come yet! What is going on?

I ordered 3 items from Shein, I received 2 in less than 1 week and the items were amazing, good quality and true to size. However, the 3rd item took almost 1 month to get here. I reached out to Shein early on since it was a birthday gift and they instantly reached out to the shipping company and expedited the delivery. They also rewarded me with 1045 shein points which i used to order a gorgeous dress for only $6. I highly recommend them and will be ordering again.

I made my order on the 30th April, today it's 24th May and I haven't received it yet! It's ridiculous! I chose EXPRESS DELIVERY and on the 10th May I contacted them because they hadn't even sent my package. They told me they were waiting for some items which were out of stock, but if I hadn't asked they wouldn't have told me anything! I told them to send me the items they had and I got a refund for the others. They told me they would immediately ship it but they didn't do it until the 14th May.
I do have a tracking number but I don't know when my parcel will arrive.
On their website, they claim the delivery time takes 3-7 days to Spain and I have been waiting for 25 days and I still don't have my purchase!

Enjoyed looking at the website and prices but they will not let me know when my package will be here. It says it has shipped but will not let me track my package- leaving me to believe it may not be coming based on other reviews. I'm not going to be happy if i just wasted almost $80. Be cautious using this website.

I ordered from different website but this one is the worst site ever! They took my money and didn't send me the whole order, two pieces were missing! And they didn't give me my money back!
Hi Sumayah,
Thank you for ordering from our website.
We checked the order number you provide us, three items are in the same package, did you provide us the correct order number?
Which items you have not received? Please confirm with us.
Waiting for your reply!
The package took longer than I thought to arrive. However, they were moving warehouses at the time so this was probably the reason why. I placed the order on 4/27 and my package was received on 5/22. They did give me a discount code for my next purchase! Ended up using it to buy a blouse and the total was only $1.90 after (that's a steal!). The quality was what I expected and is similar to Forever21 quality. You just have to read the reviews and choose wisely. Overall, would buy again for the pricing.
I would seriously give this company 0 stars if I could. Poor customer service and slow delivery (that's if you even get it). I've been waiting since I placed my order on April 16. It almost reached me until it got sent back to China because of an incorrect address due to THEIR lack of attention. I've placed orders from them before, but this time they've really screwed up. At this point, I can probably kiss my order goodbye. I hope you all read these reviews before ordering. It will save you a lot of time and money.

Shein has the best and latest styles at amazing prices! I can always find something I want on the site at a better price than anywhere else. It's that amazing!
I ordered more than 100 dollars in clothes from them so it was a big parcel that didn't fit in my mailbox and without MY CONSENT they authorized the mail courier to leave it in my front door, so when I got home it wasn't even there. Called the mail company they said because they authorized it they can't take responsability for it.

They try to force your refund to the shein wallet, take weeks to ship items, how in the world are they in business?
I made a huge purchase on March 23rd (around$300) to find that only a few items fit as described. Knowing this would happen, I purchased the return insurance so that I could avoid the $5.99 return fee.
Their policy states that you are able to return within 60 days from date of purchase. 60 days would be May 22nd. I tried a couple of times to go to my account and find the "Return Item" button but had no luck. Finally, yesterday, on my last day of eligible return, I contacted a customer service rep and he assured me that everything will be processed and that I will get my return label.
Today, I received a message saying that the return request is invalid since I have passed my 60 days. This is unacceptable and I will not be out of money with a bunch of clothes that don't fit right or aren't even made well.
Someone needs to get this resolved for me right now.
Dear Giao

Please provide us your correct order number, so that we could check the status of your order and help you to solve the problem.
Looking forward to your reply
I am sooo very satisfied that the reviews here reflect my pure FRUSTRATION with this company!
I ordered 3 items on 5/1/17 STILL NO DELIVERY and it impossible to track the shipping. And why do I just know if I have to RETURN the items I may as well have wasted my money.
Truly I feel this is bordering on consumer fraud

As noted by others, waited weeks for my order to arrive; chat customer service and emails from customer service were totally contradictory! All excuses. I did find out that warehouse is in China and I think oriental models are used for patterns because the size disparity is unbelievable and ridiculous. Unnecessarily a little difficult to drill down to reach cust. Service or get a return label. Quality was good for the price, but so not worth the hassle - I will not order from Shein again - ever.

I've ordered from Shein many times. Yes some orders take awhile, but I understand it's coming from another country, plus if I'm not in a hurry to get them I don't mind the wait. When my order is going to be delayed, they're normally good about emailing me to let me know which I appreciate. I love all the maxi dresses I've ordered from them among other items. The quality is good considering the prices. Some clothes are a miss, but I simply return them them like any other online company I would order from. They return funds to your Shein wallet or you can have the option to transfer to paypal. I normally keep it in my shein wallet in case i want something else later. I enjoy the Great prices and unique clothes :)

Their material is so fake and noting like what you see on their website. I returned everything I ordered from them and they claimed they didn't get... STAY AWAY FROM SHEIN. Their clothes have no tags or sizes... You can't even tell the front from the back...!

Waiting for your reply!
Answer: They asked me 8 times to change my review! And offered me $15 out of my over $100 that I spent as a refund. "consider it carefully" consider the fact that this company steals brands
Answer: Hi SHEIN takes about 2 to 3 weeks if your from the uk or USA and Ive order a few things from and the clothes are amazing Im from the uk but if youre from any where else it might take longer
Answer: Do not waste your money on this website, they are very disrespectful, and they do not help their customers. It was one of the worst shopping experiences ever.
Answer: It is a hit and miss. Some items are OK but others are made by them recreating clothes from other companies and the fabrics are literally table cloths of worse. It is best to look at the photos of clothing posted by the users themselves and not she inside. I wouldn't purchase anything they add themselves. Also, to let you know how long it takes. I ordered a few items on April 15th via express shipping and they still haven't shipped them. It is JUNE! So I would save your money and shop at other sites even if they're a bit more expensive.
Answer: It's better for you to check the measurements fir each
Answer: I personally have only ever purchased off of their website. I got my clothes in a good period of time and sure some of the clothes didn't fit the way I needed them too but that's the risk you take buying online without trying something on. I found the clothes to be a good quality. I would compare the quality of items I received to be similar to that of like forever 21 or urban planet. No where is going to be perfect and you have to use your discretion when purchasing something. Obviously you're not going to get this intricate beautifully crafted A+++ quality item for like $13, but I would say the quality was better than I had expected given the pricing.
Answer: My order took four to five weeks. The clothes weren't at all how they looked online either.
Answer: Whatever you do, don't order anything from this site. The shipping took 3 weeks, even after I had paid for express shipping. Further, the items are SO CHEAP, and their return policy is so terrible, that I literally threw items out... Don't think anyone at a thrift store would even want them.
Answer: Takes AGES to come and the quality and sizing is very poor.
Answer: Yes, no phone no., bad reviews will get their attention immediately. Worst online shopping experience ever.
