Cheater
September 8, 2023

They change a price at checkout.After I checked out my first ordered I did not check and got my items. They are so good, but the problem is, they change a price. Today when I wants to order for second time, my item was not a lot like first time, that's why I understood the issue about this app.

Terrible customer service
September 6, 2023

If you buy something from SHEIN, I do hope you don't have any issues with the delivery, because if you do, you are on your own. It's impossible to find someone in customer service - everything is via email (Ontrac") and it takes 2 or 3 days to get an automatic reply. I will NOT purchase anything from them again. They just lost a loyal customer.

Worse experience
September 4, 2023

I'm disappointed with Shien. Despite ordering specific items, I received completely different ones. The quality was appalling; threads unraveled, and seams were shoddy. It's frustrating to spend hard-earned money on products that don't match the descriptions or meet basic quality standards. Customer service was unhelpful, making the experience even worse. I won't be using Shien again, as this shopping app fails to deliver both in terms of product accuracy and quality assurance. It's crucial for them to address these issues to regain customer trust and satisfaction.

My items did not arrive and they sent me a picture as proof of my neighbours door porch with her parcels saying it they were mine. Then sent me a picture of a random bin shed with another parcel also not mine. All i wanted was my items and after several messages they finely have agreed to a refund. Really horrible experience. I cant trust them and this is actually worst site I have ever been on.

Never received
September 2, 2023

I completely understand that "stuff" happens HOWEVER I do not believe it happens twice. I waited months for the order the first time. Customer service said it was delivered and probably stolen. Well, I have cameras and it was not stolen because it was never delivered. A second customer service rep said she resend the order if I wanted her to. I agreed because I truly wanted to try their products. Again, tracking shows it was delivered and it was not. I quit. Dont waste your time and/or money on this crap

I have been totally satisfied with shopping from Shein. Not one of my orders have taken more than 10 days, but I usually get them within a week. I have like most of my purchases and the ones I didn't find whatever reason they were an expensive enough where I could just give them away to someone who does like them and fits better.

More than 5months ago I purchased some clothes from Shein but unfortunately received with very low quality and returned immediately then asked for refund but every time they come back to me with new excuse and I believe they don't intend to pay back to me.

Stop shipping my packages with UNI UNI or UNI EXPRESS. It is a joke. I rather stop shopping from shein if they can't use Canada post or any reputable delivery company.

Never received order
August 30, 2023

Placed an order for my daughter and order had 2 packages first package only a brown dress arrived and second package never came with most of the clothes and jewelry for her birthday. Not only did they not refund me but I had nothing to give my daughter for her birthday. Luckily I used paypal and could provide that there was 2 packages and one had only arrived to get a refund but the whole process was months long before getting paid back and I won't shop with them any more.

I ordered from a company that represented themselves as Shein stole money from myself and others: I'm very disappointed that you all never once alerted anyone that it wasn't your site, it makes me wonder if you all were not involved! I received fake tracking info; email correspondences daily then all of a sudden it said delivered but no package, no more responses to emails, nothing, A bunch of liars and thieves overseas,

Hello,

I apologize for this situation, but this is not the SHEIN site. Unfortunately, you have found a fake website representing SHEIN.

If you have made a payment, we suggest that you report the fraudulent activity directly to your card bank and ask them to help you initiate a chargeback as soon as possible. This is the fastest and safest way to get your money back.

Thank you for your understanding.
