I placed an order for two items, I should have been charged one price as I had applied the 30% off coupon, the correct price was shown, however, when I submitted payment, the coupon was changed, and I was charged a higher price. I immediately emailed the company minutes after placing the order. I included the screenshots which showed the correct price, and then I showed screenshots of what I was ultimately charged. I requested from the beginning that I receive a refund for the extra charge, or to escalate my issue to a supervisor to resolve it immediately. Lastly, I advised if it could not resolved cancel my order. The reps intentionally wasted five days emailing me with generic replies or asking for information or screenshots I provided days prior. They intentionally waited until the order shipped to then respond and say that order could not be cancelled as it shipped. This order could have been cancelled or I could have received a refund for the overage almost five days ago, but they decided to stall and engage in dishonest business practices.
I returned an article of clothing over a year ago, all according to their specific instructions for returning an item, and never received a refund. Despite proof they received the item and many, many emails, they did not refund the cost of the item. I have been a good customer and this is the first, and only item, I have ever returned. So, know that if you return an item, you may not receive a refund. Buyers beware!

To be honest; most items are affordable and of decent quality. Problem is some Shein items are literally GARBAGE and to make it worse, it's practically impossible to reach a/o at customer service. They have made it so difficult to reach anyone, it seems intentional. Sneakers with photo attached were worn ONE day, yes ONE day! And the robot that keeps answering says it can't be returned because it was already worn. Gee, this is not a "return", this is called standing behind your product, maybe that is not as accepted in China?

I purchased several items in one order. Three of the items were not the size ordered and one of them looked worn, wrinkled, and smelled bad! When I filled out the form to return the items I was told they were not eligible for return. Do they do this to everyone and just keep your money? The word SCAM comes to mind!
Do NOT order from these people. The clothes are cheaply made and not sized properly, and apparently not clean or new either.

I thought flamingo was bad now I get a top from shine. Thought I would send it back until I saw the hardship and stress it would take to do that so I took the scissors and chopped it to pieces and called it a day. Never again flamingo or shine. Both are scams. You think your product would look like the picture. Hahah guess again. I reported flaming to the better business bureau and am doing the same for shine.

I spent 261 dollars, never got a confirmation email, never got any email about shipping or order details, had a damaged item, and others didn't fit, and now they have no way to talk to a real person or any contact information so I can't make a return, and under my account my order will not even show up, so frustrating, this is not a professional company that cares about it's paying customers, what a ripoff!

They are now asking to see my bank account to verify my purchase - then they just cancel my order if i don't provide them - one time i did and I blocked out my account numbers and they denied it. They are trying to get into your bank accounts

I see they found my review and are retaliating with cancelling my orders. And they want to see my acccount information - no thanks scammers
I buy quite often from shein I am a speaker and trainer so I need new outfits often. Now they implemented this new requirement of providing 3 pictures for every item being returned. I order lots and return what doesn't fit sometimes it's none sometimes its a number of them but overall im keeping a lot of items. I found this out after my items came. After all this work on this order, I will never order from shein again. So you win shein - i'm done with you.
This company is terrible! Their product and the process to return is terrible they couldn't make it more difficult to return then they have it set up -very frustrating -
what a terrible way to treat paying customers - everyone needs to stop ordering from them they just scam people with their cheap products and terrible customer service for returning!

This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced, and this is after working in customer service. 7 of the 8 items in my package never arrived and I was scammed out of my money as I was told by a customer service agent that it was against their company policy to give me my money back. Do not trust their site just because they have cute clothes and a good marketing team.

I ordered from shein 3 times
The first order went well.
The second order some of the items were damaged beyond use so I tried to reach them.
The process was horrendous,I ended up not getting through to customer service,but they weren't expensive so I gave up.
The last time I tried to reach them I was asked my customer ID.
I have no idea what that is and there is no way to find it. I tried 5 times before I got a tension headache.
I have since deleted the account.

They ship 2 packages. You never get the 2nd package with the bulk of items only the 1st with 1 small item. Package 2 has a bogus tracking #. There is no way to complain. These people are thieves.

My package was lost sent to another address and when I called the post office they would not give me the address and there is no phone number to contact a customer service at shein. The number I found on line has been busy for 5 days. So I never got my package or a refund

I purchased over $250 worth of clothes and shoes. I tried for over 5 hours trying to contact them and return most of the items that were just off. No way to return anything. No Phone number, no customer service, and no way to contact them. Never again

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.
