DO NOT RECOMMEND.
June 22, 2015

Do not order from this site! The quality is horrible. I ordered 5 items & it took forever for me to receive them. I am working on returning the items now & will also mention that the customer service is terrible! I would rather pay more for better quality products than to order from this cheap site. You will be extremely disappointed.

I ordered a Bag for my mom for her birthday. And I was surprised when they delivered the product on the correct date (set by me). The packaging done was looking very beautiful and it didn’t seem to have any kind of breakage. When I opened the package the bag was the same as it was in the picture. I was very happy after I found the product at its best and there delivery speed is also very fast. Thank you shein.com for giving us a huge variety of everything and for such a good service. Keep it up.

I am regular customer of "Shein Designs" & I must say that the best collection in my wardrobe is picked from them, I recently bought a "V Neck Cami Top" from them & I instantly fell in love when I saw it on their site. The site is very smooth & has a very simple user interface for quick actions and orders. I purchased the item on their site & recently it arrived at my doorsteps.

I had an awesome experience ordering from SheInside. I needed a pair of zebra striped flip flops to match a dress that I had purchased. I found the perfect pair and knew that I had to order it. The site is very easy to use and maneuver, checking out was a breeze. The flip flops came within the estimated delivery date. I honestly have no complaints to say about this company; only good things. I will definitely be ordering from SheInside in the future.

Tracking?
June 20, 2015

So i don't have the right to have a tracking number? Just HCX3933? Why didn't you want to give me one? And now postal service in Belgium requires that tracking number you didn't and still don't want to give. My order is in Brussels, in delivery since... two days. So what? You keep repeating me that it's in Brussels... But i know, right? Now what can i do without proper tracking number? Postal services of my country can't track it without the number.

Dear customer,
Nice day.

Sorry for late reply and we are so sorry for all misunderstanding.
Your order has been shipped on 10 June already and you can track it via http://www.shein.com/index.php?model=order_track with your order number. The tracking information shows that it has been delivered to your country.
About the problem you mentioned in the comment, no worry please. In fact, we are making some improvements recently and there are so many changes in our logistics system. Sometimes the shipping way we chose will not offer us your tracking number. You just need to go to the post office which is the nearest from your home and fetch the order with your name, order number or your email.
Hope you can kindly understand and trust us.
Please remember that all of you are our precious customers. These problems you met will never be neglected. You can trust us. And if you still cannot get the order after contacting the post office, please feel free to come to us for help. We promise we will try our best to solve this problem for you. And we are pretty sure that this problem will be solved perfectly.

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

Ordered a gorgeous white dress 3 weeks ago in a small size. Not only did they send me the wrong outfit, they sent me an XL and they don't want to give me my full refund back. $20 down the drain.

I actually had a positive experience with this site. I wanted a few coats for my wife, I'm a guy and don't really like women stores so I just order online. Here the prices were GREAT, especially on coats... it seemed much better than in stores and I even saved 30% off on my first order. They also had ALOT of nice variety to choose from, so I got a few and though I was a little worried about quality, they were great, just like the pics... and arrived right on schedule, I had my items shipped in 24hrs if that helps.

I bought two dress for my younger sister from this site. sheinside.com is the best site of online shopping I ever used. Purchase is very fast and products are cheaper than other site. It is better than the average online delivery time period. Therefore you don't have to wait for ages to receive your desired items that you ordered from this store. You will for sure get what you are looking for and even much more. Recommend this site.

Awesome Experience
June 18, 2015

I purchased one full length designer one piece from sheinside.com about a month ago.One of my friend has advised me.As I am so in love with shopping i keep on trying different websites and just order whatever i like. But many a times I had very bad experiences from some websites some times it is product quality or some times it is delivery issue. But to be very honest from this site I got it all; a piece of my choice, awesome quality, fast delivery and customer concern. I would highly recommend this site to all those who want a good product with smooth delivery.

Just Terrible.
June 17, 2015

People told me that if I did "Express Shipping" it would be here faster, and yeah, I fell for the "24 shipping." (which is a load of bull and just dishonest) So far, I have only received two items, and everytime I check the site an their order process, it says "Processing." I have never had this much trouble with a site. It's horrible. They told me that order was ready to be shipped, and I look- and guess what!? It's not. They lie to you and feed you the same bull over and over again. "We need 5-7 shipping days." In regards to that, it's been well over 5-7 shipping days. You have no excuse, and if they say, "Your order had been shipped already." No, it hasn't. Don't order from this site- it's honestly like they just stole my money. If I could rate this a 0/5 stars I would because 1/5 is just too nice to them.

Dear customer,
Nice day.

Sorry for the late reply and keeping you waiting.
Generally we can ship these items marked with “ships within 24hrs” within 24hrs as we promised. But one item in your order sells well, it is out of our expectation. Moreover, we were at weekend before, so it caused the delay of your shipment. We sincerely apologize for the dealy. Hope you can forgive us and accept our apology. We have checked for you, and found that your existing items almost have been stocked well and we are really ready for the shipment. We also have urged our colleagues to speed up for you. Hope you can understand and trust us.
SheIn is a fast growing company, we never deceive you. And giving you the best online shopping experience is our best honor. We promise that we will try our best to meet your requirement and do better in the future. Hope you can give us one more chance again.

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

I ordered a few items from sheinside around 2 weeks back and received it a few days ago. I am completely disappointed with the quality of majority of the clothes, and i want to RETURN them for a REFUND.
How much will I have to pay inorder to return them to China, as I live in India?
Also, if I want to get something exchanged, will i have to pay to return that item to you so that it can be exchanged?

I ordered the "Black Short Sleeve Leopard Print T-Shirt Dress" from shein.com. Ordering went very easy and shortly after ordering I received the receipt in my email. Within time I received my order. What I like most about sheinside.com is the price / quality ratio. You get pretty good quality for a low price. And by quality I don't mean only their clothing. But their customer service too. I emailed them, because I had a question about sizes etc.
After a while I received a very nice response.
So yes this is a website I order more from, I even told all my friends about this website and earned 10% on what they bought. That's pretty awesome!

Good experience
June 14, 2015

I don't know why it has so many bad reviews? I had a good experience with SheInside, maybe shipping is not the fastest (I got one of my items in 10 days and another one in 11 days) but otherwise it's a great way to save on good brands. I will also recommend my friends also. If you're afraid you're going to get a bad product I suggest you google it first before purchasing it.

This is was first time ordering from SheInside.com, and I was scared because of some of the bad reviews, but it worked for me!

I bought the Beige Deep V Neck w/ Crochet Lace and it is one of my new favorites. I'm seriously in love with it. Usually dresses that are in this price range from lesser known stores, quality takes a hit, or it doesn't fit right. SheInside is the exception to this. I am so happy with how well made it is and how well it fits. Stitching is usually the best way to tell the quality of a garment, that is the biggest issue I have found with clothes that are this cheap. I am so happy that the stitching is well done with tight patterns, and no stray threads. It fits perfectly. Be sure to measure yourself first to make sure you are ordering the correct size. Also convert to metric system!

Shop with confidence!

Awesome Experience
June 12, 2015

Hi, I purchased a nice vintage dress from www.shein.com for my wife to attend my company’s yearly dinner party. The dress fitted her very well as she received many compliments throughout the night which made her feel really good and made me even happier about my purchase. The ordering process was pretty easy to complete and the product was shipped on time as was stipulated when making the purchase. The dress was properly packaged and although nobody was at home to receive the product when they first arrived, they returned later in the day. I had a great experience shopping with shein.com and I will definitely be purchasing more items with them.

I ordered my 32 items on May 17,2015 with Express Shipping. It is now June 9,2015 and I still have not received my items except for two. I've been told numerous times via chat and email with Kevin, Eva, Tiffany and Peter that my items would be shipping in 3 business days. I've also requested a cancellation and received the following email:

May 25th
Hello, dear

I'm very sorry, but your order is prepared and ready to ship, we will send it within several days, okay?
Please do not cancel it

In a chat with Kevin on June 5th, I was advised "Due to some problem in our factory, recently thousands of orders are inundating our factory, there might be some delay, sorry for that, we will urge our relevant department to send your order asap"

In a chat with Eva on June 8th, I was told that the reason for the delay of shipment was due to too many "bestsellers" in my order.

The way the representatives communicate via email and chat is ridiculous! I just want my items if it is claimed to be "too late" to cancel. There aren't anymore tickets that I can open without being completely frustrated with this company.

******* Check order progress Resolved Customer service 15 days ago
******* Cancel this order Resolved Customer service 15 days ago
******* More about tracking Resolved Customer service 19 days ago

Nothing is resolved because I still don't have my items and I'm constantly being lied to.
