SHEIN stole my money
August 9, 2023

I just bought a home for myself February 28,2023 as a new home owner y'all know money can get tight with unexpected repairs and expenses. I placed a 75 dollar order with this company for cleaning supplies buckets sponges kitchen towels. They never shipped my items yet took my payment. I disputed payment come May no shipment, June no shipment July no shipment now it's August and they are saying unless I take the dispute off they won't refund me! They know I didn't get the items but still won't refund me that's straight up STEALING!

Lost shipment
August 8, 2023

Customer service is nonexistent! If anything goes wrong with your order, you'll never be able to talk to a real person! So there's absolutely no hope that your problem ever be solved! It's such a shame because I really like Shein's products!

I ordered and paid online
It took 10 days to receive the first call that item will be delivered and waited till now I haven't received anything yet in the app it shows delivered. It's really annoying to wait for that long and and order becomes a gambling game yet it cost plenty of money. Imagine the service is extremely slow and am kind of disappointed

Return issue
August 8, 2023

The first time I ordered some items from shein and didn't satisfied with the quality and I had to return some of them but unfortunately I tried more than ten times by the time I submitted my return only one item showed for return and they sent me the return label for only one item so to me this is a cheating because they promoted that free shipping if you sending everything in one time but it's not true they made the return system the that you couldn't do what ever you want to return the same time I'm very disappointed with their return policy and cheating with customer please don't trust them so disappointed there is no phone number to contact them and tell them the issue I have to tell my friend and family to not shop from shein. The items that I want to return was poor quality and they did not let me do the return under one order only sent me label for the last item that was in my return list and they ignored the rest of it.

Flip game, and disgusting items delivered
August 7, 2023

What is the point of the flip game, there is no chance of getting the £20 or £30 credit. They give you enough diamonds to get vouchers for £15 off £100 spent or 1p in credit WOW.
Also I ordered a blazer and shorts and no word of a lie they were stinking like a sushi bar. And they creases were something else, how do they think this is acceptable to deliver to a customer. On complaining though I was offered a whole, massive, humongous 50 points off. Very bad customer service

I have ordered twice from here. In neither order did I get all of the items that I had paid for. Tried, without success, to inform the company. So, I paid for things I never received. There won't be a third time.

Never received my package, no compensation or solution that was helpful enough to make up the fact i ordered 3 weeks before my vacation & still couldn't untie my 400$ order or delivery package in time before my trip. Worst experience ever.

I received the wrong item for this green dress. I need to return it for the correct one, but guess what? I am unable to select the green dress for return because it is marked as "non refundable". I get it, but It's the wrong item. Now trying to find a phone number to call customer service was awful. They don't offer one. Plus, the customer service chat is all automatic responses. It is my first and will be my last ordering from SHEIN!

Shein gives ZERO access to return and get a refund. I have tried to no end but they do not get back to you and did not refund me both times. BEWARE purchasing anything from Shein, YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR MONEY BACK. Shein is a scam.

Do not order from this company
August 2, 2023

I placed an order that was never received. Shein acknowledge this but claim their shipping company won't refund their costs. After dozens of emails all they've offered is a partial refund (60%) or I could pay another $15 & have the order resent!

Totally disappointed
August 2, 2023

Made an order and paid for the order and also got express shipping. Low and behold they canceled my order two days after I paid for it. The items I bought were back to school items for my son. I am beyond pissed because I never wanted my order to be canceled my son was looking forward to his order. They messaged me talking about they needed documents to verify my order. I sent the documents they wanted and after that they canceled my order. This is totally unacceptable and I will never use this site again.

Do not shop here
August 1, 2023

I was told that my order was flagged for verification and asked if I would do all of the paperwork or cancel my order. Mind you I have spent over $1,000 in the last year with Shein and placed another order with the same debit card. Told my refund didn't process they want banking info, this was after they asked me to verify my email to send my refund via PayPal. So at this point they are keeping my money as they said the refund verification failed and if I want a refund try the process again, so they are trying to keep my money. I advise all costumers to beware and take your business elsewhere like Temu before the same happens to you. Do not say I didn't warn you.
