Horrible customer service. Someone used my card to make an order I made a service ticket they asked for proof of the charge on my account I sent the proof and my service ticket was deleted. So most likely you guys only care about processing the order and not refunding my money. Horrible customer service you guys don't even have a real person checking the service tickets or customer service chat. $#*!ty way of running a business and helping people commit fraud and stealing money from hard working people.

As it's clear from the timelines when SHEIN simply forgot to dispatch the RE shipments they claimed that it's advisable to refund me first then when the shipment arrives I CAN CONSIDER IT A GIFT. They refunded me nicely and when I contacted them in few days to check on the shipment the new agent replied that the parcel was never RE shipped in the first place! I asked for a compensation so I can feel good about trading back with SHEIN but it did not work! I am looking now for replacing SHEIN and will place a strong WOM on the deceitful way they dragged me to cancel the shipment and demand a refund! After a 2 months+ delays. This is the most painful experience I have even had!

Curvy girls beware
March 2, 2022

Okay curvy ladies listen up make sure you check the sizing charts before ordering I order a bunch of clothing to take to Jamaica and boy what a surprise I got when none of the shorts or pants fit me so I turned around and resold them and now shop else where so curvy women make sure you measure yourself and look at there charts first because there 2x is more like a large.

I bought about 55 faux succulents from Shein; I meticulously went through and picked them one by one but when my box came they had sent me about half of them cheap versions that looked NOTHING like the ones I picked…About half of them were right so beware if you're purchasing faux plants from them…Also, they seem to have some kinda problem with sizing…I'm always careful to go by the size guide because their sizing is weird on a lot of clothing items…Bottom line is I get jammed about half of the time…I really don't know if I'll use them anymore…Thanks for letting me vent, Kitty

When I was finishing the purchase it was showing I was eligible for free shipping but I still got charged for that. I got in contact with the customer service and they just answered I was not and after I answered again they just told me they were sorry for not meeting my expectations.

When I tried to speak with a representative the order was cancelled without speaking with me. The receiver of this purchase will be very disappointed because I used a service that wasn't reputable.

To tell the truth, SHEIN things are cheaper, but the quality is not guaranteed.

I ordered clothes on SHEIN website twice, and most of them were returned after items were delivered, since item's quality were so poor.

The photos on the SHEIN website look okay, but after you getting them, the items in your hands are different from the photos on SHEIN website.

All in all, a waste of your time and money.

After the epidemic is over, it is not easy to be deceived by going to the physical store to buy clothes.

Super Thin Material
February 16, 2022

The designs are trendy, unique, and great for going out but the material is SUPER thin. It's almost see through, you can see anything you're wearing underneath unless the color of the item you got is black.

Disappointed
February 16, 2022

I just woke up to an unauthorized charge of $652 from Shein. I haven't placed an order in almost 5 months. Now I'm waiting 24 hours for a "chat" response. I'll never purchase anything again.

I ordered cosmetics from SHEIN. Horrible experience! SHEIN customer service is the worst I've ever encountered. They will not answer emails. They will give you a continual run around. They even told me they didn't have a record of my order in a electronic generated email. After two weeks of trying to get a return label, I finally discover you can't return cosmetics for the correct shade. There are very few items they will allow you to return or replace. Do Not waste your time ordering from this company!

Big Cheats. Instead of refunding my amount for a return I placed it in the shein wallet. Finally when I opted for the refund it showed me the option to do so. Got a mail confirming that refund would be accepted and I would receive the same in 2-3 days. Been more than a year and I never received the amount. There is no way of contacting them too.
