I have placed several orders with SheIn and every time I received my shipments within a reasonable time frame. For the most part there clothing is decent and sometimes fantastic quality. Especially for the low price tag. I have only ever received 1 item where the quality was not so great. To tell you the truth I would purchase from SheIn before I ever would Fashion Nova again. Shein's quality is better and half the price. They also always give coupons and issue points. I purchased 18 items for a total of $204 tonight and after applying my points and coupon I only paid $157. Now that's a deal I can get with!

I've ordered several packages since mid April, two of which have arrived. Three have tracking info that says they've either reached their destination facility in the US or are on a flight, and they've been like that for the better part of a month. When I reached out to customer service, I was told Fedex hasn't picked up the packages yet and so I'd have to contact them. When I contacted Fedex they said they only have a shipping label, and the package was supposed to be coming from within the US. I want some sort of accountability. I need a refund because my package NEVER ARRIVED and NOBODY KNOWS WHERE IT IS.

Looks like scam
May 22, 2020

I have read that SHEIN is trusted web site, but now I'm not sure it is. I didn't receive an update for a while. What is going on with my items? Where are they? I have checked users reviews on other web sites! People write that shein web site states delivered when it's not! I feel like it's happening with me now!
Very bad customer service, they never answer for the email or live chat! No communication at all!

Placed an order on April 19th, on April 29th status updated to "Order shipped!" Its now May 21st and no update. I have submitted a service request twice now and just keep getting same run around that shipping takes longer due to Covid. At this rate the items I ordered for my daughter wont even fit her by the time they get here. We will never order from here again. I was leery to begin with but my daughter talked me into it. I should have listened to my gut.

Their customer service is the worse. Do not enter their giveaways, they just give you invalid codes and tell you too bad.

Taking Forever
May 20, 2020

I've written to Customer Service twice now. Even though I currently live in Austria, I am sending my correspondence in English - but I'm receiving all replies in German. I completely understand and am super sympathetic to the whole COVID issue and I know I chose to buy from this website, HOWEVER, even when the site said that it would take an additional 4 days of processing, it took 9! Now, way over a month later, I am still waiting for my package and the tracking hasn't changed. Perhaps it's never even left the facility - who am I to know? Now I'm waiting, incredibly frustrated.

Illegal Activity
May 20, 2020

Eventhough its based in China, in the US its illegal to alter reviews and also have a bribe to encourage positive reviews. There is no reason why you read negative reviews mentioning defective, cheap, came damaged, and they have a 5 star rating. Some of these reviews mention they give an item 2stars and on top it says 5. Also, don't get there clothes if you have actual breasts. All clothes in plus are for Bs and Cs, not DDDs

Cheap sh*t quality
May 18, 2020

Got a few pjama bits from Shein before, sizes come up extremely small. Ordered more and they seemed ok. Ordered a strapless playsuit that i liked, i got the size up just incase, it came and within having it on for an hour the elastic around the chest snapped literally from me sitting down. If anything the playsuit was too big (size 10) so there was no reason for this to happen. Ordered the same one again to see if it was just unlucky, same thing happened again just from sitting in the car. Cheap $#*! quality stuff. Wouldnt buy from them again

Ridiculous
May 18, 2020

I ordered 5 bathing suits may 5. It says the package has shipped, if you track it, it says it's at a warehouse and was sterilized. That was may 8th. Ten days later they still haven't updated it. I have no idea when or if I'll ever get my package. And if you try to contact customer service it's automated and no help. I'll never make an order again. And I don't understand because a friend of mine got hers in a week with no issue.

The sizes are not true to size not even close. You can't really track your shipment and it took them 2 weeks longer than they said it would. They're so cheap feeling and on top of that they came to me broken!
