First denied to pay my due refund, bloody useless company. Then in second order missing items they denied can't help
Me. Scammed my money. Useless customer service puppet. Scammer
My clothing take so long to arrive. My tracking says it is at my city's airport since August 19th, but it is August 24th now. The customer service don't seem to care, they reply nonchalantly saying it will be there on time. Totally disgraceful.
"I bought a trouser from Shein but I cancelled it immediately. For the past one week, I have been calling them regarding my refund, and they keep saying that they have initiated the payment refund. What kind of initiation is this that hasn't reflected in my account yet? They say it takes 7 days to reflect in the account, but I would call this a fraud because I still haven't received my refund
Hello,
We apologize for this situation, but this is not the SHEIN website.
SHEIN does not currently ship to India.
I'm afraid you've encountered a fake website impersonating SHEIN.
If you made any payments, we recommend reporting the fraudulent activity directly to your credit card bank and requesting that they initiate a chargeback as soon as possible. This is the fastest and safest way to get your money back.
To alleviate your concerns and reduce potential shopping risks for other SHEIN customers, we need to verify some information:
1. Website link 2. Additional information to help us resolve your concerns.
We will contact you as soon as we have a result.
Thank you for your understanding.
Title: Extremely Disappointed – Missing Items, No Refund, Poor Customer Service After leaving a public review about my Shein order, I finally received a response asking me to contact customer service—again. I did, only to be told once more that no further refunds would be issued. I'm missing over $200 worth of items from an order that totaled more than $350. Shein only refunded me $57 for two missing items and refused to take further responsibility. What's worse is that I had already contacted customer service multiple times before the review, and none of my concerns were taken seriously until I went public. Even then, nothing was resolved. The service was dismissive, and the resolution was unacceptable. Now I'm forced to dispute the charge with my bank, since Shein failed to deliver what I paid for. I'll also be leaving a review for Afterpay, because neither Shein nor Afterpay protected my purchase. Shoppers should be warned: if something goes wrong with your order, you'll be left to deal with it alone. This has been an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. I will never order from Shein again and cannot recommend them to anyone. – Mavis Santiago

Purchased from this company for several years. Returns were easy that all changed. I've left comments under several of the really dubious new practices they have in place-but I did not see this one mentioned so to add to the list – when you see an item at a good price and you purchase it. It shows up in your orders as a refund later - no reason just you're not getting it. Here's your money back. This has happened time again with items I looking forward to receiving - so if it looks like the price is too good to be true- it is.
Also note the puppy game now rewards 10 times less for a purchase than it used to and you'll need 300,000 points minimum to complete the last %

I can't figure out how to return clothes that don't fit. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to return a couple of items and it becomes a loop where they continuously ask for the order number which has to be copied then you start all over again! The clothes look and feel cheap. Even writing a review they make it as hard as possible.

I recently made a purchase on Shein - I never received the item. Contacted Shein and they sent me a tracking number - the tracking number is for a different address. When I called the post office - not only is the tracking number for a different address but the post office said the item is only 8 ounces - which could not be my item - which was much larger. Shein refuses to give a refund. You cannot say you were not warned.

I ordered a few items from their website recently and was I decided on one of those items so didn't return it immediately. Shein have coupons that they allow you to use and when I returned all except one item they said that the coupon was no longer valid and took this amount off of my refund. Not only this but when I said I would therefore return all the items and have a full refund they refused point blank telling me that I wouldn't be issued with a full refund which I'm not sure is actually legal. I have therefore paid a lot more for a dress than a)it was advertised for and b) was unable to return it and receive back exactly the total of what I had originally paid for all items. People watch out as I didn't know this was happening and will never shop at Shein again!

Shein is a SCAMMER. I returned items and they didn't refund me. Upon so many efforts they told in bossy tone that they can't refund me do whatever I can. They useless customer service Tobie and Reyna puppets dragging this simple refund so they don't have to refund me. I got all the proofs which I submitted through emails. But when I asked for evidence why they can't refund. They unable to provide me any evidence and saying do whatever you want to do. Scammer a big scam to scamming people money. PEOPLE BEWARE OF SHEIN. They are scammers

I have been trying to get a refund on the items that I haven't received. SHEIN said I needed to reach out to the shipping company SpeedX. I have reached out to them and they keep saying my address is insufficient. It's not! I had other packages from SHEIN delivered to my house. I was supposed to receive my package on the 3rd. When I reached out to SpeedX the AI will say "we will look into this shortly" and then they never get back to me. I've been dealing with this for a week now! I will never use SHEIN again.

As a first time customer, they offered me a $200 free order if I ordered within 10 minutes. The timer started going so naturally I started ordering very fast. At the end of the order they charged my credit card company. I tried to stop them from delivering, but they delivered the junk anyway. You cannot get through to their customer service. All they have is a robot with robotic answers. Long story short I had to go through my credit card company and put in a complaint for a refund. Capital one Visa told me all they do is get complaints about this company every day. Don't do it!

Disappointed with Delivery and Pricing Practices
I've been avoiding leaving negative reviews in the past, but this level of manipulation and dishonest business strategy forced me to speak up. Customers deserve better. This is the fourth time my orders from SHEIN have been delivered very late. One of those orders was from a different account, and the other three were from my main account. As compensation, SHEIN gives you 500 points, which is basically the equivalent of a lollipop—just enough to lure you back in or trap you into another purchase. It doesn't truly make up for the repeated inconvenience or poor service. What's even more frustrating is the pricing system. After you receive those 500 points, you'll notice that the prices of products seem to increase—so the "reward" feels meaningless. I've even compared prices using a different (guest or new) account and noticed clear differences. As a Business Analyst, I understand how pricing algorithms work—and it's obvious SHEIN's system adjusts prices dynamically, especially as you're getting ready to check out. That's manipulative. All I'm saying is: don't blindly trust SHEIN. Their customer experience is disappointing, and their pricing practices feel dishonest. Order # GSU1U732Q001Q78

SHEIN needs to go back to being SHEIN. I hated Temu try to order things you want and having to go through a stupid maze winning free items they never give you. Please just go back to the point system you had. I love your products but if you keep acting like Temu with all the aggravating things you can win but never do without bothering every contact in your list which is ridiculous.

I spent a lot of time carefully selecting discounted items, but at checkout, the total jumped to nearly three times the original amount!
This company is deceptive and misleads customers — it feels like a scam!
Hello,
Thank you for shopping at SHEIN!
The problem you reported may be caused by the following two reasons:
A. Your coupon has a deduction limit. The product page shows the amount of the current single product after the coupon is used, which does not exceed the discount limit; after checking multiple items in the shopping cart, the total amount exceeds the discount limit, and the discount allocated to each product becomes smaller.
B. You checked multiple items in the shopping cart, and the coupon applied by the system based on the total amount of multiple items is inconsistent with the coupon for a single product you see on the product details page. The coupon on the product details page makes a single product more favorable, but the coupon applied in the shopping cart is the best for the entire order.
Combining these two situations, you can check the coupon code and discount details used for each product on the product page and the shopping cart page to verify the reason why the amount of the product in the shopping cart is higher.
If you still have questions about the amount, please let me know and I will provide you with further help.
Thank you again for your support!
I would have given no stars in the rating if I could, but that is not an option. I placed an order with Shein for $41.85 in Feb. 2025, I paid the additional $2 for their insurance. I never received my order. I requested proof of delivery confirmation and none was ever provided. I have contacted the company several times and requested a refund... I have not received a refund, no proof of delivery and I am very unhappy with their lack of good faith in standing behind their insurance and their customer satisfaction is rated zero by me. Beware of this company.

3 times in 1 week with 3 different orders. SAYS DELIVERED. Was NOT Delivered to My address. I HAVE PROOF which I provided and they do not care. DELETED the app and would NOT recommend what so ever. Mailing garbage items to random addresses in the same zip code as you. You get nothing, someone gets garbage and tracking shows delivered. And THAT is how they get out of refunding. And when you try to leave a negative review it doesn't get posted. Even with photo proof that the package that was shipped was WAY WAY WAY smaller than what you ordered and the picture of the front door is not your house, they do NOT CARE and keep INSISTING it was delivered to the RIGHT ADDRESS! SCAM. Oh and did I mention the silver PLATED jewelry they STAMP 925 when it is NOT 925 silver. They lead you to believe you are buying REAL 925 silver, it's garbage with silver plating. This happened to me way too many times with SHEIN. SCAM, RUN.

Worst Customer Service and Refund Process – Beware! Review: I've been dealing with SHEIN for two weeks now, trying to resolve a problem where I received damaged items in my order. Despite clearly explaining that I can't physically return the items because of my back pain, they are insisting I send everything back in order to get a replacement or refund. It's been extremely frustrating, especially since I requested a simple replacement for the defective items. I've reported this to the BBB, the FTC, and other relevant authorities, and I'm still not getting the help I need. This company is making it impossible to resolve the issue. The customer service is awful, and they don't seem to care at all. I would strongly advise against buying from SHEIN if you want any level of decent customer service. They refuse to send replacements and are making this process unnecessarily difficult. Order ID: GSU12U17A00MC3R

Item never arrived to my address but tracking showing it delivered. I went to the UPSP and gave them the tracking # and they stated it delivered to a different address and that the item package is small (in ounces) and stated this maybe a scam. USPS provided me the detail of the item tracking to show that the item I ordered did not deliver to my address.

Answer: They asked me 8 times to change my review! And offered me $15 out of my over $100 that I spent as a refund. "consider it carefully" consider the fact that this company steals brands
Answer: Hi SHEIN takes about 2 to 3 weeks if your from the uk or USA and Ive order a few things from and the clothes are amazing Im from the uk but if youre from any where else it might take longer
Answer: Do not waste your money on this website, they are very disrespectful, and they do not help their customers. It was one of the worst shopping experiences ever.
Answer: It is a hit and miss. Some items are OK but others are made by them recreating clothes from other companies and the fabrics are literally table cloths of worse. It is best to look at the photos of clothing posted by the users themselves and not she inside. I wouldn't purchase anything they add themselves. Also, to let you know how long it takes. I ordered a few items on April 15th via express shipping and they still haven't shipped them. It is JUNE! So I would save your money and shop at other sites even if they're a bit more expensive.
Answer: It's better for you to check the measurements fir each
Answer: I personally have only ever purchased off of their website. I got my clothes in a good period of time and sure some of the clothes didn't fit the way I needed them too but that's the risk you take buying online without trying something on. I found the clothes to be a good quality. I would compare the quality of items I received to be similar to that of like forever 21 or urban planet. No where is going to be perfect and you have to use your discretion when purchasing something. Obviously you're not going to get this intricate beautifully crafted A+++ quality item for like $13, but I would say the quality was better than I had expected given the pricing.
Answer: My order took four to five weeks. The clothes weren't at all how they looked online either.
Answer: Whatever you do, don't order anything from this site. The shipping took 3 weeks, even after I had paid for express shipping. Further, the items are SO CHEAP, and their return policy is so terrible, that I literally threw items out... Don't think anyone at a thrift store would even want them.
Answer: Takes AGES to come and the quality and sizing is very poor.
Answer: Yes, no phone no., bad reviews will get their attention immediately. Worst online shopping experience ever.
