Hi! I ordered last 24th of june 2016 up to date I didnt receive any of the items. When i was tracking it is the same status that my package has left the HK. Come on it almost 3 weeks of waiting! You didnt even give me any update! Reminding you that the package status during tracking is almoat the same for almost 10 days! Does it mean that you are using a cargo ship that is why it took so long to reach UAE!

I ordered a bunch of stuff the past 11th of July with the express shipping which is supposed to be from 3-7 days, but so far all I get is "processing" and I am now really on my nerves because I need the package to arrive before the 20th of July.

I placed an order (worth almost £100) with express shipping over one week ago and the order still has not been despatched. It's completely untraceable, and despite logging a 'ticket' with their customer service team I am yet to receive a response.

I would NOT recommend offering from this site! Complete waste of money and time. I want my money back ASAP!

Long processing
July 17, 2016

I ordered 7.7 and it is now 8 days later. STILL PROCESSING. I ordered 15 items... Money I have been saving for vacation wardrobe for months and who's knows if it will even come in on time. More than a week to process? Never have I shopped at a website that took that long. I really hope the clothes when they eventually come in are worth it... We will see if I ever give this website HUNDREDS of dollars again. Annoyed.

Horrible
July 17, 2016

I ordered clothes on the 23rd of June and I still haven't received them and after all that waiting they told me they are sending it back to the buyer. This is the second time this has happened and they only refund the money back to the website so u can buy more of their clothes. I really wanted these clothes but I guess this was all a scam and they just took my money and are never going to get me my clothes.

Outstanding
July 15, 2016

The app is amazing I've only every had one or two things nor be delivered to me but that was on a old profile account. I've now ordered loads of things from clothers sexy out fit a Samsung note 3 that I still have to this day and many other things. I know that a lot of people are making a big fuss about the shipping and how long it takes but people need to understand that for the free shipping ur not paying for it to be shipped out half way around the world so what can you really be moaning about for the low cost prices that u get things off there and what they sell. I love this app I'd never go any where else I've even told my friends about it and they all love the app and have ordered loads from there...

Our customer service have replied your ticket. You can check it later.

We are sorry for confusing you. The coupon is based on the original price of each item. If the item is on sale and has a larger discount than the coupon discount, then it cannot enjoy the coupon discount any more. You have got the biggest discount.

Your items have been prepared well. We will ship them out as soon as possible. You can contact us if any problem.

Apologies for all the trouble and hope you will receive the order soon!

Not okay
July 15, 2016

I ordered about 55$ worth of things on July 9 of 2016 and didn't get a order ID because it was never sent to my email and I didn't register before I purchased. I bought sunglasses, a binkin, a t shirt with a rock on symbol, Jean draw string shorts, and a burgendy barlett. I would like to have my order number sent to my email. If it doesn't get here soon I will need my money back.

Where is my order?
July 14, 2016

I ordered I think 8 pieces of clothing on July 3 with express shipping. Everyday I've been checking the website and it still says "processing". I need these clothes next week and if I don't have it then I am screwed. How long does it take to get some clothes and ship it? On top of this, the only confirmation email was a 40% coupon. Not even a tracking number. Professional! Clothes are cute, but probably never going to shop here again...
UPDATE: Just got the clothes. Most of them are cute, but you get for what you pay for. But, one item makes me look like a piñata and the other is unflattering *on me*. So I will return both of those items. But the thing is-there's no contact information whatsoever. Please Shein help a girl out a help me return something!
