Order problem
June 20, 2016

I ordered from your website for 46,80 dollars on may 1st, I checked my bank account. But I haven't gotten any of my items, not even an email. I didn´t get any type of confirmation on my order either, it´s not even listed in my orders on your website. Didn´t get a text either.

I ordered 4 items (3 dresses and 1 shirt). I received an opened package that clearly showed a stamp from my local post office that said "received unsealed". There was only 1 dress inside and no receipt, no paperwork AT ALL. The package had obviously been cut open and then the post office taped it closed and delivered it to me anyway. I had to go through PayPal in order to get a response from these people. I will NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM AGAIN AND I RECOMMEND THAT NO ONE ELSE DOES EITHER! VERY DISAPPOINTED! They have now FINALLY offered to refund the money back for the items I clearly did not receive after a month of haggling with them! I am just going to wait for PayPal to give resolution because I do not trust this company for anything anymore!

Meh
June 18, 2016

I ordered clothes off of they're app assuming they'd be just like any other clothing company which honestly was a bad assumption to make. The delivery takes absolutely ages and I (being a kinda last minute person) didn't realise that my items wouldn't arrive on time for my holiday. So I placed a ticket and they take ages to respond as well so if your wanting a quick answer to anything on this website go through 'My Assistant' because I was pleasantly surprised with the quick replies considering other parts of the website are painfully slow. I got a really lovely lady called Annie to talk to and within a matter of minutes she cancelled my order, however when you cancel an order you have to specifically ask for the refund to go back to your car or Paypal, otherwise they'll just refund the money back to your Shein Wallet which is useless and I really don't
Understand why they do that? But in future I will probably order from the company again, but leave plenty of time for delivery and if the clothes and materials are good enough I will probably continue to order from the site.

I ordered 10 items on your website on 6 June 2016 and my order says that it is still processing, even though it is EXPRESS shipping! I was hoping to get my orders before my prom in Germany on June 24th. Moreover, I also wrote a ticket. But I didn't get an answer. I'm really dissapointed. Please tell me that this website is not a scam website.

After my last review they finally sent out my order. But now it says departured CAN. What does it mean? That my order is already in my country or something else?
If my order does not arrive, I'll go to the police with the evidence of other costumers who have never gotten their packets. I ordered it last week, the same day I ordered something from another shop. The thing I ordered from the other shop arrived already 3 days ago (wich is normal!). I'd like to receive my order from Shein this week, I'm going on vacation next week and I thought by ordering it 2-3 weeks before, I'd receive it on time. I hope I didn't thought wrong. I waited long enough now, didn't I? This is the only shop where it took so long. By the way, add a phone number to your store, for real information. Hope this will help with my order.

Hi dear,

Thank you for ordering from our website and truly sorry for all the misunderstandings.

Generally, preparation for delivery usually takes 3-7 business days and is not included in the "delivery time". We noticed that your item has been shipped on June 17th, it belongs to normal processing time. Hope you can kindly understand.

All of you are important for us, we never neglect your problems. Once you meet the problems, you can email us or contact our online customer service first, we will spare no efforts to meet you requirements. Hope you can trust us.

Apologies again for the delay, hope you will receive the order soon!

DO NOT ORDER
June 16, 2016

I placed an order of 4 items. 6 days later they send me an email saying ALL of my items were "sold out" and didnt know when they would have more of my items. Really? A week later all 4 items are sold out? Why even have them on the site?

On top of that I have to wait 48 hours for the money to go to my "wallet" which is pretty much credit towards your next purchase (which I wont be doing). Once its in my wallet I can withdraw to have it go to my account and that takes another 5 days... argh!

I ordered a couple dresses weeks ago (late May). It took an eternity before it said it was shipped, but when i tracked it with Fedex it only says the shipping label was created. It's been like this for over a week. When i purchased the items originally they said they shipped in 24 hours. I am not happy, and on top of that I had a 40% off code which it said was applied, but i was still charged the full amount. I wanted to address this, but the only ticket items i can request are canceling, exchanges and returns. I've found this entire process really upsetting.

Hi dear,

Thank you for ordering from our website and truly sorry for keeping you waiting.

Generally, preparation for delivery usually takes 3-7 business days and is not included in the "delivery time". We have checked for you, and found that one item in your order does not belong to the 'Ships in 24hrs' list. In order to bring you no more inconvenience, we decided to ship your all items in one package. Hope you can kindly understand and forgive our inappropriate decision.

We found that your package has been shipped on June 8th, as the logistics company needs time to update the information, sometimes we may not be able to get the detailed tracking information until it has been arrived at your country. About the coupon, discount 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. Hope you can understand.

Please remember that you are our precious customer, we never try to deceive you. If you really have contacted us, you can send us screenshot of chat records. All of you are important for us, we never neglect your problems. Hope you can trust us. Also we noticed that your package has been arrived at your country already, we will give you tracking number and link of your package later.

Apologies again for the delay, hope you will receive the order soon!

Hi dear,

Thank you for ordering from our website and truly sorry for keeping you waiting.

We have checked your order, and noticed that three items in your order sold well before, so we need more time to stock these items. Please remember that you are our precious customer, your satisfaction is our best comfort. Also we ever tried our best to stock items, but we still failed. We also noticed that your order belongs to cash on delivery, generally if some items in your order are out of stock, the system will cancel whole order. Moreover, we have sent the email to notify you, you can check your email box later. Hope you can kindly understand.

We sincerely apologize for all the inconvenience we have brought to you. SheIn is a legal fashion company, all of our employees are sparing no efforts to resolve this problem. Hope you can trust us.

Apologies again for the delay, hope you can have a nice day!

An overall hit
June 11, 2016

I purchased over 100.00 worth of items that were all marked as will "ship in 24 hours". 4 or 5 days later I contacted customer service to see why the items hadn't shipped and was told that they were being inspected for quality. They shipped the very next day.

They arrived pretty quick once shipped considering they came from overseas and I was really surprised by the quality of the items considering the cost. They are not designer pieces or course, but they are really decent quality for the price.

I was really happy with the items that fit; however, 2 items did not fit (I guessed the wrong size as I wear xs, sm, and in some cases a med) and one item was not flattering on my body type. I contacted customer service again and they gave me their USA warehouse address for return shipping. I sent the items back via UPS ground and provided the customer service with the tracking number per their request. UPS said the items would arrive to the warehouse today and when I checked this evening, my money was refunded to my wallet on the site and I have the option of purchasing something else in place of the items returned OR I can withdraw the money back to my original card.

I don't feel like I should have had to contact them before they shipped the order and I don't think the customer should have to pay for return shipping but it is what it is. And overall, it was a really good experience. I am off to spend my refund with them! LOL

Extremely concerned about the LARGE order I placed on May 27th. I was eligible for EXPRESS shipping and was told my processing would take 5-7 days it has now been 12 DAYS since I placed my order. Clothes are needed before I go on vacation in 1 week! Was skeptical about ordering on this website because of the horrible reviews! Hoping this isn't a scam. Please answer and send me order ASAP or i will have to take further action thanks. Order #PXA6972. Still says processing.

Hi dear,

Thank you for ordering from our website. We’re truly sorry for keeping you waiting.

Yes, normally it would only take 3-7 business days for us to get the order ready for shipping, but the items you ordered are in great demand, thus it took longer for our suppliers to get it ready, we apologize for the delay.

We are so sorry that you cancel your order when we are processing. Our customer service have dealt with the matter and refunded to your wallet. You can check it later.

Apologize again for all the trouble.
