It's actually OK site if you wanna buy cheap clothings for cheap price. But remember they offer very very cheap customer care almost none and didn't tell the customers about extra custom charges in some cases. I had to pay over $60 for custom clearance which is totally not worth for the clothes I bought from shein. They told me they will reimburse half of it and now they are saying they need to INVESTIGATE very very rude

I would not recommend this site. I ordered items received only half order. I attempted to contact online everything seems automated. No live person. Now I can't seem to get a refund for what I paid for and didn't receive.

I ordered something for Father's Day and it was marked delivered but I didn't receive it. So I emailed them to let them know I didn't receive my package. They emailed me back a receipt saying it was delivered and that was that now I'm out of 40.00 dollars

I ordered 5 tops, 2 were to be cotton, one was. 2 were to have embroidery, one was the other was printed on and nylon material. The others were okay, but not great polyester. I ordered an extra size up, glad I did otherwise not all would have fit. All were loose styles.

I have shopped Shein for years and placed a recent order. I returned a few items and requested store credit so that I can get the correct size in the items. There was a balance of $12.47 that a paid through PayPal. I later received an e-mail from shein requesting that I send them copies of my banking payment information. I sent it, and they didn't accept. I canceled the transaction and they only refunded my $12.47 but kept the $68 credit I had. They DID NOT refund it. AND you can't reach them! Well I am done shopping with them. BE CAREFUL

I bought some pants and the shipping company Ontrac they use keep sending me text message requesting a code for the gated community. I don't leave in a gated community and there is not code needed.
There is no way to contact the shipping company. There is not phone number.

I tried contacting Shein and it is the same thing. Not phone number and it is a machine responding on the live chat. IT IS SOOOO FRUSTRATED. Never again.

I tried to buy a gift card online. It was impossible to enter a shipping address and a billing address. It doesn't make sense that both address are the same for a gift card. I changed everything to my address (billing) so I could use a credit card. After several tries 2 credit cards were rejected. Very bad app when trying to use a credit card when shipping address is not the billing address.

Not free returns

I bought a pair of shoes and they aren't the true size. Not good quality. I had problems to return it. When I did, I discovered that I have to pay the shipping. Not more Shein. I prefer Amazon. Was the first time buying here, and the last one. Bye, bye

I tried to return within 30 days (which they give;you 35) and the order is not there. There is noone to contact. If you order make sure you don't have any intention of returning it.

I ordered $100 worth of swim wear and the website says received it and i never received 1 article of clothing that i ordered. The website doubled some of the items so i was charged twice on some of them and you can't get ahold of a real person. Do not order from shein they just take your money and don't give a rats $#*! about you

Delivery Sucks
June 5, 2023

I've had multiple issues with delivery. Whether it's returning items or obtaining them. Never trust their delivery date and always, ALWAYS track your returns. Sometimes your items are still in a warehouse and never get sent out or returned. If they would become more reliable in delivery, I would order more from them than Amazon.
