First off! It took me forever to received order with no tracking information what's s ever. Once received order i immediately return everything due to wrong size it's been two weeks haven't heard anything. Upon trying to contact customer service which i don't think they have one, I'm not able to contact anyone. They give you a on line chat information but no phone number to speak with anyone. I will never order again. I like to speak to people if I'm issue with order

This company is a complete scam. Their size guides are way off and even garments labeled with the same sizing (example medium) are not even close in actual measurements.

Have been trying to return the garbage clothing (very poor quality) for 8 weeks and even had to open a claim on the company who continues to drag their heels and not respond.

Buyer beware! Good luck trying to return something to them. You are better off flushing your money down the toilet in all honesty. Zero customer service

There is no costumer service. The costumer service is just a robot. They create a shipping label but never hand in the parcel to DHL. Spent $175 on this site and totally disappointed. I am going to report them to my bank as a fraud!

Terrible
June 27, 2020

If you order from this site and actually get the items you ordered DO NOT TRY AND RETURN THEM. You are going to have better luck just taking them to Platos closet and selling them. I've been waiting over a month on an update on my return and I've heard nothing, apparently, it hasn't even gotten to the warehouse. I ordered my clothes in the middle of Covid-19 and they arrived to my house faster so I know that Covid-19 is not an excuse.

I ordered some summer cloths for me and my daughter on 21st may 2020. I spend more than 100 dollars. I didn't get my package yet. I didn't get a chance to read the reviews before ordering the items. I regret for that now.

I returned items to Shein May 17th and requested to get wallet credit. It is now June 24th and they have yet to issue the credit even though I have tracking information that they received my returned items on May 26th. There is no way to contact them to find out what's going on. They only have a robot that gives you scripted answers. Very frustrated because it's about $40 worth of stuff that I returned.

I'm in Canada and bought some items from Shein for my daughter as she begged me for some. They were all way too big and poor quality. I went to return them, it says $8 will be taken off, fine okay, this is unreasonable but I will do it. I try and it says they don't accept returns on my items (even though the site stated so).

I file a claim with Paypal and they side with the Seller and give no reason for this. Paypal isn't fair either, only sides with buyer if seller is a small-scale scammers.

Never buy from here, you are asking for trouble. Shipping took almost a month too.

Literally just got my order today which I was very excited before because it came earlier than expected and today is my birthday. I ordered 3 swimsuits all the same size and 2 out of 3 are too small. They will not allow me to return or exchange them even though they are brand new with the hygiene tape still on. How am I suppose to know if they fit without trying them on and why are the sizes so inconsistent? Pretty disappointed. I would've bought something else not just returned the items. I actually really like the 1 suit that fits. Just mad bc my money was wasted and I don't know what to do. My first and last time ordering from them.

They truly need someone to proof read their shirts. Daughter ordered me one from this site. Everything about the shirt was not right. But I'm still wearing it. Up your game and of course it comes from China. Go figure. Tell me what you see. Read and look carefully.

I ordered a pair of jeans.The zip was defective and the button was loose. When i told them they asked me to pay return charges because they won't consider the zip as a defect because they won't be able to recognise the defect in photos.
If this was the case they should have told earlier that if you order a pair of jeans and after spending bucks you get one with a faulty zip and a damn loose button its not considered defective. What is this?
Extremely disappointed.
