Changing wrong address
October 20, 2023

Ordered things from Shein company they had an old address. They shipped it there although I was telling them in a chat (only way to communicate with them) wrong address. They told me to call fedex. FedEx stated they couldn't change the delivery address the send company had to? And then I need to call back because they couldn't put a hold on it so I couldn't pick it up from fedex. Really fedex is this how you work also? Long story short I advise never order from Shein and don't have fedex to deliver because as a customer service company they also are the pits!

Order never receiceved.
October 19, 2023

I ordered quite a few items from shein and never received them. I got a random text from the delivery company stating that the driver's car and my stuff were stolen with it. I tried calling their customer service number and it doesn't work. I've emailed two different email addresses and no answer from them. Horrible horrible! Customer service cause there isn't one! Please save your money and just shop elsewhere!

Due to your support for terrorists and due to the sale of Palestinian flags that symbolize terrorism - I and all my relatives have decided to boycott you and delete your application permanently! My family and I will never order from you again. You are fomenting violence in the world instead of making peace. Due to your support for terrorism, you are banned!

Everything i bought was either bad quality fabric or don't appear as advertised. The worst is they made it very hard or almost impossible to return items.

Customer service
October 15, 2023

I have been a loyal customer for years with Shein but I believe this will be my last time shopping with them. They had made many changes where it is difficult for someone to assist you when it comes to refunds. Years ago I use to order and if something fit me big I would return it and they would ask if I wanted store credit or funds back to original payment. This time it is a robot in the chat and it's hard to speak with someone directly who can help you. If you go to your profile and click contact support you can speak with the support team. I told them I wanted to return item and refund back to original payment method. The agent made a mistake and refunded the funds to shein wallet which is basically shein credit. I complained on how the agent made a mistake. Nothing has been handled. The agent keep copying and pasting the same message. Like if you don't know what to do transfer me over to someone above like a manager don't neglect the customer by copying and pasting the same message. All they keep saying is "we understand your frustration hope we find your needs helpful have a wonderful day". Their comprehension skills suck not sure if they speak English or using a app to transfer the message but the messages they send me doesn't make any sense. All they had to do was cancel the store credit payment and refund the money back to my credit card but they have been giving me a hard time and this has been the third time this has happened.
