It's a gamble
October 9, 2021

First thing to know... the shipping takes forever (Canada) When putting your order, they will tell you a date... and that date will change 3 times. Every time you are supposed to received your package... you go check the tracking and it's all of a sudden 6 more days. Also... the "express" Free shipping you are supposed to get on order over $125... is a scam. Once you put your order in... you get a message saying " The item selected are not eligible for "express free" shipping... even if your order is $200!
Unfortunately... because of the "points" too may people are writing lame and useless reviews of product.
You will be disappointed with half of your purchases. Some item are "dollar store" quality. I had some good score considering low price on sale of some item. Look carefully once you confirm your order... it's only then that you will see all the items that you will not be able to return.
Free return?... yeah... ONLY if the return package is less than 2 kg.
So chose your item carefully! You MUST check the measurement for EVERY item.

Shein is a whole scam
October 6, 2021

If u buy from these heads ur asking to be scammed. I regret everything that led up to me ordering anything from them. Do yourselves a favour and go to a different site to get better child laboured products. If i could give these idiots less than 1 star i would. These $#*!s need to stop and get help. When i see the ceo of shein i will give him/her/them a knuckle sandwich(i am a firm believer in equal rights equal fights). I will then proceed to contact their nan and tell them their grandchild is a dissapointment and a $#*!ing disgrace.

Missing order
October 4, 2021

I ordered once from this site. Got my clothes, returned some items. No problem. Placed a second order, received the order but when I went on the site to make an exchange for size the order was no were to be found. No to mention there is literally no physical was to get in touch with anyone in customer service. Now I am stuck with 2 shirts I can use. No more orders from this site. Now, on the other hand, my sister has had not problems and has been ordering from them for a while.

They will keep your card numbers and use them fraudulently! Typical China! Can't do anything but steal your money and copy card numbers! It's easier to steal than get it legally! They hide behind other countries so federal law escapes prosecution! BEWARE, BEWARE, USE CAUTION!

I tried ordering from SheIn and I had gotten an email saying my package was delivered to the front office of my apartments, but I checked with them 3 different times and they never got it. So I tried getting a refund from SheIn but they don't refund if you can't send the package back. How can I send something back that I did not receive? Will not be ordering from them again

I have written and spoken to there customer service multiple times sent everything they asked for. They have confirmed twice now in writing I should have a refund. Even have given me an amount. Its been about 2 months and nothing. Horrible customer service, unfortunately I was ordering a lot but I will no longer be a customer until the issue is solved. I am happy to send the conversation to any manager that works there.

Returns and refunds
September 28, 2021

The clothes are styled very nicely, but very cheap materials used, and the designers must think ppl have low crotched and long limbs. Your not be able to return anything and never get a customer service rep. And u will go around and around on the web site to try to find out how to make a free return. I would never shop here again.

I love shopping on SheIn. SheIn offers great clothes at affordable costs, but my favourite purchase by far has been my Frilled Neckline Lantern Sleeve Top. I ordered and received this Frilled Neckline Lantern Sleeve Top a few months ago and was worried that it might have been too thin, but when I got it, I realized that it was the perfect balance between sheer and cotton. The top is soft, yet made of a strong material that is not easily torn or distorted on jagged edges. I have washed the top several times since, and I am still amazed that it shows no sign of colour fading, rips, or distortion in any way. It is the perfect top for any climate; the material is not too thin, so it keeps me warm in cool temperatures, but the material is also extremely breathable for warm temperatures. The fabric is also easy to dry (less than 15 mins in the sun), and the fit is comfortable, especially around my neck and wrist, as the material has elastic gatherings there. I wear it tucked in as the model shows, and it does not slide out of any work pants/ skirt that I pair it with, which is a big plus for me. I recommend this product and clothing site as a definite 10/10.

Can't do much with a faulty app AND website. I just had to give up on this company! I already have an account but I'm told there is no account with my email address. Yet, I have emails from them with my last order history... then I go on the website instead of the app, I create a new account and then AFTER shopping and ready to check out, it says I'm not on the US site!

I ordered 8 items, a sweater, 3 sundresses, 3 tops and a summer evening dress. Everything is fine, some really nice. Some are a little longer than stated, but sizes were all true to the size guide on each item. I'm pretty impressed with the overall quality for the price. I will definitely order again.

Delivery
September 21, 2021

Twice now I've had issues with their delivery. The first package I ordered was lost and I did not get a refund for it because they were adamant that I got the package. I did not get that package. The second package I did receive. But the third package was returned to sender because I did not provide proper delivery information. How is that possible? My second package was delivered without issue. What more do you want? Do you need a google map picture?

If you are considering to buy from Shein go for it. Go ahead and order those sling back kitty heels and wait those two weeks. If you don't receive that item go ahead and wait another two weeks to see your money back. Something has to change in Shein.

Problems with refund
September 20, 2021

My bra that I bought didn't fit me. Enclosed was a return process label. When I started the process, it said this bra wasn't returnable. The return process label was unreadable. When I tried to contact them, they wanted me to pay money to get a response to my question! And also charge me $7 to return it. Bad business and a total ripoff

Never again
September 18, 2021

I waited patiently for my order (which was pretty expensive) only to get it and have there be 3 items with cuts in them … or holes and upon better inspection it's clearly due to bad sewing. Seams don't line up. Very careless. So of course I wanted to return the damaged items as well as the the items that were too small. But out of 9 items I can only return 2. I can't return a torn robe? But I can return a shirt? Wtf … I will stick to ordering from Venus because I've never received anything damaged or in returnable. Frustrating

Scammer!
September 18, 2021

This company doesn't even deserve 1 star. When I purchased some clothes on Sept 15,2021, it says I am qualified for a free express shipping if I'll order over $129. And so I did order lots so I can have my order sooner and use it for my sons baptism. I tracked it and I can see it is still in China and I got an email saying I'll have to pay $40.14! What the heck? That's what they mean FREE EXPRESS SHIPPING?! I was trying to get a hold of the customer service but all they give you is the robotics answer which doesn't help at all. I also purchased clothes before and took sooo long to arrive and what's worse was it came defective! Not just one but few of them. Upon reading about bad reviews for refund and returning the products to them, I will just pay the $40.14 they're asking for then delete my account and of course delete their app from my phone. I don't have time to waste going through any hassle collecting my money back and or returning their defective products. What a waste of money and time. Not a good business strategy scamming customers. I hope new customers will read all the bad reviews here and will believe it. We must not support liar and businesses that would just scam customers.
