Tracking status

They lied about updates on tracking statuses. Every time I got notifications that said update on your order. So I checked and no change in the status. I contacted chat room but they didn't reply back. So I deleted SHEIN account and I deleted the app.

Shein fraud

It seems ok until it is not
September 30, 2023

I was always worried about buying from Shein but everything went ok the first two times I ordered from them so I kept ordering. This last time however they shipped my order with speedx and the package was lost. Speedx is terrible and Shein takes no responsibility and refused to give me a refund. So beware. I am now disputing the charge on my credit card and NEVER ordering from them again

Very disappointed
September 30, 2023

I ordered from them september 9th I got a confirmed email of the order few days later. I got a tracking number. I tracked the package. To find out it was delivered to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, not Minnesota. I emailed them to get a response. It's, and I've not heard anything back. Can we say poor customer service? I will never order from them again this is ridiculous. I even sent them proof it was delivered to the wrong address and wrong state and nothing in return but they can charge my credit card with no problem.
This company is a scam

BUYER BEWARE
September 30, 2023

Ordered a pair of sandals online. They were WAY TOO BIG. When I contacted company about an exchange or refund, they refused. They even went so far to say that they weren't making an money on the sale?!?!?!? They also tried multiple times to give me a 10-20% refund. WT actual F? They have a clear return policy that they will not honor.

PEOPLE- you have to be living under a rock if you can't see that this is yet another CHINESE SCAM. You get what you pay for, and if it sounds too good to be true? Well...

Not Transparent
September 29, 2023

You think you are buying an item that you can be return but it's not the case. Not only that you can't return many item (which were not disclosed) you also cannot review item that were not good. They will block the many item to review or to return especially items that already have bad reviews.
Dishonest and not transparent company.
Wondering if they going to remove this review as well…

I've ordered from Shein for years - and have liked their prices and items. This time an item came broken and there's NO way to reach someone for hep. There is a system on line, but when I try to access it, I'm told the item hasn't arrived. Yet in another place it tells me it arrived days ago.

Never Received Items
September 27, 2023

I never received my order. SHEIN uses a company called SpeedX who sent a proof of delivery photo which is NOT MY HOME. Further the photo does not show a package on the porch or an address on the building. Shein says to contact the shipping company and file a complaint with them. Took several days to get a response from SHEIN's shipper only to be told they delivered the order and "if it was lost after delivery" to contact Shein for a refund. There are currently 100s of complaints for this exact thing against SpeedX/Shein. I am urging everyone who has had this experience with SpeedX or SHEIN to file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office. I believe these scammers need to be shut down!

Mutliple orders
October 7, 2023

I have ordered 3 boxes of clothes for my many kids. All items arrived and packaged nicely with good tracking. The clothes are very affordable. My kids absolutely love the cool styles. Nothing else in the department stores is remotely close. They are comfortable and seem well enough made compared to any other reasonable priced brand. A++ for style.

Don't Trust This Company
September 26, 2023

If cheap prices is all you care about you might do ok with SHEIN but you stand a 50/50 change of actually receiving your package. They use a company that will leave your package in the lobby of your multi-dwelling apartment building and say, "delivery was a success". SHEIN will not accept any responsibility. Buyers Beware!

I've shopped with them several times and had to return multiple items that came in broken. It's been 2 months since I returned an item and I still didn't get a refund. I let them know and they still won't refund. They told me to contact usps, even though they NEVER find lost packages. They were all picked up the same day, all the rest of my
Items were refunded, just not the one phone case and instead of refunding since it's been 2 months, they expect me to just not get a refund and deal with it. Too many items come

Me to shop with them again, especially when they refuse to refund for an item I returned. Not shopping with them ever again.

I purchased some items on Shein. First, I ordered the same clothes with different colors; they shipped me four pieces of blue clothing of the same kind and two of the same kind. It took me approximately one and a half hours to return because I had to download and upload three pictures for excites. The return was charged me $7:99 to return. I will never buy from this website again. The clothes are poorly made with cheap fabric.
