Ok readers, I'm back. I recently wrote a review - the absolute truth - about Shein.com. I won't rehash the entire horrific experience, but believe it or not the saga continues. I thought we were done. Judging from the numerous mindless correspondences they're sending. It's obvious we are not.

They have written me no fewer than 12 times asking the same questions and promising to provide a "call ticket" to pick up or pay for a sweater I cancelled one half hour after placing the order. It has been one huge nightmare. It seems no one has read my countless emails detailing the problem over and over again. Then I get more emails from them asking what my problem is... or, if you can believe this, to buy a few more sweaters from this company.

How can they possibly remain in business? Why are they still operating? The merchandise does not come close to the pictures. They don't have a handle on basic customer care protocol. They are not organized. Their policies are empty. There's no one to speak with. There is no phone number provided. I promise you this: no matter how tech-savvy you are - one simply can not get through their convoluted website to get answers to anything. I repeat - ANYTHING.
They - folks - are hiding behind their cheaply-constructed product line. Speaking of line, they should find another line of work... because business retail is not their calling!

Dear customer,
Nice day.

Sorry that our item can not meet your requirements.
The slight difference between real items and shown pictures can not be fully avoided because of pixel and light problems. Hope you can kindly understand. We know that you have contacted our online customer service before, have you returned the item to us already? We need to confirm with you. Actually you can send us some images which can show any clear differences, we never try to neglect your problems. Hope you can trust us.
The item you ordered belongs to "Ships In 24hrs" list, so we shipped your order soon. Also due to three-day holiday before, it caused a little delay of our reply. We sincerely apologize for that. Once you meet problems, you can contact us via email or our online customer service directly. We promise that your problems will be solved perfectly.

If there is any problem, please feel free to contact us via [email protected].
Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely.

Amazing
February 21, 2016

I had the most amazing experience at she in. The photos of items were very appealing; trust me, what you see, is what you get. The customer service is top-notch as once I placed an order, I received the shipment. My dresses were in good shape and were a perfect fit and taste. Such a delight! I recommend "she in" to anyone who needs to buy a nice something for themselves or a gift to someone; the website is a gift itself!

I never believed what the reviews said as i have ordered from this company before. But hey bite me in the a** right. So i ordered a couple clothing and this time, not express shipping as they call it. So i wait and wait. 7 day processing blah blah blah. I ordered my item January 26th, it is now February 18th. And the my items aren't here. It's fine i guess. So i go to my tracking and check where it is. It's said the same message for the last 2 weeks. It's just left the damn country. So i contacted them again and they asked me to check my local post office if its here. Are you kidding me?! I'm not even sure if its here. And the stupid company wants me to check if its here. The post office will think i'm an idiot for going there without a tracking number or a message that its here. And here's another thing: they want me to ask my neighbours and friends if they've signed for it. Hello, i sent it to my office so i would get it. As the office name is included. You idiots! I'm disappointed and i want my money back. Thieves! Will never order from you again!

Dear customer,
Nice day.

Thank you for your great support and we are really sorry for all the problems and the waiting time.
Sorry for the late reply. Because of the time difference, we can no reply to you in time. Hope you can kindly understand and forgive us.
So sorry for all the waiting time. The processing time takes 2-8 days usually. We sent your order out on January 26th and usually you will get the parcel in 15-30 days.
Per courier agencies' information, due to strict customs screening these days, the shipping time to your country might be delayed. Pls don't worry, we will keep tracking the shipping status and keep you posted for any update.
Besides, our answer is just a suggestion, rather than the final decision.
We will be responsible for any problem caused by us. Hope you can kindly understand and trust us.

If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us via [email protected].
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes.

It was my first time buying from Shein... maybe my last. The items I recieved were okay, not what I expected, but decent quality. Yet the sweater I really wanted I have not recieved. On the order status it says that it shipped and includes a tracking number. Yet when I go to the UPS site it says that the label was created... not that it shipped. This has been the case for the past 4 weeks. I have opened multiple tickets and no response. I am hopind someone from Shein reads this post and responds to the following: Please advise when will I recieve the sweater SKU#******* ordered on ALB5681. It has been over a month that I ordered this item. I recieved the rest of the order but not this item. Please provide a status

THIEVES!
February 18, 2016

I bought 14 items more that two week a ago with Express delivery and I only received 3 of them! I checked the tracking and they said that they shipped the order but once I contacted UPS they said that they never received it!
Then, I tried to submit a lot of tickets but they never answered. I want the refund!
I want them to solve this problem. I loved the 3 items that I received but I won't buy ever again if my order is lost or they won't refund me.
I mean, where is it if nor SheInside nor UPS have it?!

Dear customer,
Nice day.

Sorry for the late reply and keeping you waiting.
Due to time difference and seven-day holiday before, we could not reply you in time.
We really did not do it on purpose. Hope you can forgive us and accept our sincere apologies.
Because 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.
Hope you can wait more business days. Moreover, as we were on seven-day holiday, it caused a little delay of your package. Please no worry, we have informed our colleagues of the logistics department to check it for you.
We promise that your problems will be solved perfectly.

If there is any problem, please feel free to contact us via [email protected].
Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely.

Pros & Cons
February 16, 2016

I ordered quite a few items (13 =$226.62) I received most but not all The items I receive are mostly great Loved the shoes The clothing runs small not as US size I must add I didn't contact them regarding the missing items as I thought they'd come in separate shipment With everyday life I forgot about items Remembered & figured it'd be to late to claim them Do check "My Orders" which I did later It said items were all shipped together with exception of 1 item & they weren't It was my first time ordering I didn't get familiar with site till recently Hoping next order turns out better Also the discount is applied to the items ORIGINAL price not the already discounted price So it's a little misleading I just placed an order which said 45% off instead of the $35I expected I received $6.53 I figured out why after as mentioned above Still happy with amount paid for items I ordered Only hope to receive them all this time & I'll definitely keep track now

I bought a White Striped Flounce T-Shirt. I was cheated by another company with their product very expensive. I regretted ever visiting that site to buy a T shirt but the one I bought from sheinside.com work so much better on my body than the other brand! Well fitted and very easy to wear. I visited the sheinside.com and just click on the order page, very easy to order and before I knew it, it was delivered in a good condition with the date stated on the site. My order was well packed and delivered in good condition. I'll surely come back for more.

VERY TERRIBLE
February 13, 2016

I bought a dress to take on vacation in August for a wedding. I paid about $18 for it and I bought it around May. I additionally ordered another dress at the same time. That one arrived but I have not seen or heard anything about it the other one. I tried to contact the customer service about 2 weeks before my departure and I haven't gotten a response back. I went on vacation without a dress I expected to have.
I tried to contact customer service AGAIN after I came back from my vacation and still no answer! It has been now 9 months since I have ordered my dress and I still have not heard anything back. They stole my money and then completely decided to ignore me.
The other dress that I did receive, looked like complete s***. I would not recommend buying ANYTHING from this website. Save your money and frustration!

UPDATED REVIEW
February 13, 2016

After submitting a ticket to cancel my order and get a full refund, Shein took about a week to take care of things. It will take about 10-20 working days to get a refund if you paid by credit card, but about 3-5 if you paid by paypal. Although I wish it would have been faster, better than nothing though. Thanks Sheinside for offering satisfactory customer service.

UPDATED:
I just wanted to add a few words of advice. If you do decide to buy their clothing, make sure to look at the reviews for the product to really see the quality of it, how it fits if only comes in one size, etc. When I did buy my items, I made sure that each article of clothing had several reviews to make sure that this wasn't just some sketchy asian site and that it was really legit.

Also, here's another tip. Sheinside will respond to customer service reports faster if you post a review about them. Good luck!

Dear customer,
Nice day.

Sorry for bringing you such negative impression.
Generally we can ship these items which are marked with "Ships In 24hrs" within 24hrs, due to Chinese New Year holiday, it might be caused a little delay of your package and our reply. We sincerely apologize for that. Please forgive us and accpet our sincere apologies.
Actually SheIn has improved a lot recently, we pay attention to your probelms and aim to offer our customers best online shopping experience. Your satisfaction is our best comfort. Hope you can trust us again. About the coupon, we have noted on our web that 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 will use the sale discount instead of the coupon discount. We also noticed that your refund has been finished already, you may receive the refund soon.

If there is any problem, please feel free to contact us via [email protected].
Thank you for your support.

I ordered a blazer from SheIn, that actually arrived in a reasonable time period, and looked decent. I wear a US 12 or 14, and the size chart PROVIDED BY SHEIN on the garment's eBay page gave measurents in inches that suggested the garments in their corresponding size should have fit me.

Ha!

If you dare push your luck, expect the Chinese XL to be about a small in US sizing. Seriously, I GAVE the garment to a small friend, and she likened it to a size 8 ladies - and a small 8 at that.

If you are a slender teen or very small boned, thin person, this stuff might work for you.

Just know that SheIn will not pay return shipping, even though they posted terribly incorrect size info to go by, so they should have accepted responsibility. I emailed them a couple of times and they just didn't bother to respond to my second email which made the case that it was their error, and they should pay return shipping. In fact, their website showed the case as being closed!

Would not waste more money on these clothes, and yes - reading the less than stellar grammar in many of the reviews, I suspect that many are indeed "fixed".

Update: After this review was posted, I had several emails from Sheinside, mainly wanting me to change my review. Right. I'll do that right after I pay to ship back the DOLL CLOTHES they sent me, and take a loss on something I couldn't use.

These people are not just dishonest, I think they may be hitting the bottle at work. The very nerve... deliver pitiful products and then ask for a dishonestly 'positive' review!

Dear customer,
Nice day.

Sorry for the late reply and letting you down.
We sincerely apologize that our item can not fit you well. Actually different material and style have different size, our web has mentioned that the clear size description of each item. There may be up to 2-3cm error because of manual measurement. Hope you can kindly understand.
Moreover, we ever noted on our web that the return postage should be paid by the buyer. But SheIn cherishes all of our customers, we never try to neglect your problems. You can refer to our size guide http://www.shein.com/How-to-measure-a-277.html, and then take some photos of the measurement of item you received so that we can confirm with our factory. We promise that the problems will be solved perfectly.

If there is any problem, please feel free to contact us via [email protected].

Quality is beat
February 9, 2016

Although prices on here are really great, you pretty much get what you pay for.
I have a few items i'd like to return but reading reviews on returns I may as well just not bother.
All clothing is made in China and is made with such cheap material. Love how everything looks so high-quality on their site but when you receive your clothes they look like a wrinkled garbage bag.
