I ordered two pairs of shoes only 1 came I'm never shopping with u scammers again I will also tell others not
I got 40% off my first order of 2 knitted dresses, which was nice. But too good to be truth. Sure enough, DHL brought my package and I had to pay $25 for shipping upon delivery. Mind you, I already paid $2 for shipping as part of the payment. I hate those games of hidden fees. If you need to charge me for shipping, then have the balls and let me know from the start! Don't play those games with me!
Now about dresses... Size... I'm size 2 US, ordered XL. One dress is very tight. Another is a bit roomier, but sleeves are 3/4. Daaaaahhhhh... A lot of holes in the knitting. I'm a handy girl, I can fix those. But if you are not - those dresses will go to garbage.
Oh, and btw. They are shipping from Singapore.
UPD. This is an update for response from SheIn...
There is no import fees for the packages below $60 in Canada (FYI) and invoice from DHL states 'SHIPPING'.
Your 'one size' has 102 cm (40") bust, which gives us L size US or 12 US. Google it. As I said, I'm size 2. Any more questions?
I do have one thou... Are the holes in the knitting are part of design? Why you didn't mention this on web site? As well that the loose strings will pop up everywhere?
Dear customer,
Nice day.
Sorry for all the troubles we have brought you.
The extra fee you mentioned might be the customs fee, actually we have mentioned on our web that your destination country may charge customs duties or other taxes, but we will do appropriate compensation in case where there are additional fees. You can send us the screenshot of the receipt so that we can check for you. Hope you can kindly understand.
We have checked your order, and found that the size your order is one-size rather than XL, different types and materials have different size. You can see the detailed size description of each item, if there really has problems, you also can take photos of the measurement of the item which can show any clear differences, then send us these iamges via email later. We never neglect your problems. Hope you can trust us.
Waiting for your reply.

Worst site online to buy is SHEIN! NO Returns! Rip-off big time, SHEIN shame to you! SHEIN not give you return, because you never get RETURN LABLE and address where to send back their garbage. 3 daysI spend online, no chat, no customer care, just simple rip-of.
SHEIN attempted to assist this customer with their order, however we did not receive a response.
I put order and did received more that one month and there is not customer support or way to contact Shein

I was originally disappointed with SheIn because I placed my order on April 26th and as of May 8th my items were still being processed. I specifically ordered these items for my vacation on May 17th but I didn't realize that the order would take so long to be processed. After several emails back and forth with a customer service representative, I didn't feel confident that my order would be received prior to my trip so I decided to cancel the complete order. I was told that it would take 10-20 working days to receive my refund back to my card since it was an international transaction, but surprisingly my refund was placed back into my account about 2 days later. Despite being slightly disappointed with the shipping time, I am extremely satisfied with the time that it took for them to refund my money as well as the transaction fee. I do have plans to order from SheIn again in the near future, but I now know not to order items if they are needed in a short amount of time. I hope that my next experience with SheIn will run as smooth as it did this time and looking forward to being able to post a review about the actual items that I'll receive on my next completed order. This time I'll patiently wait the 5 weeks or so that may be needed to receive the order and I don't mind the wait, as long as I'm satisfied with the items. I will definitely give SheIn another try.
I made a purchase on the 28h of September and I got an update on the 06th that it was out for delivery. Which was good however, to my surprise I received and email from them to say my package was "READY FOR PICK UP" an option I was never given so I could not have chosen that.
When i emailed them after a day they responded saying I should contact USPS to get delivery. WHAT THE HELL? I paid for a service and this is what I got.
Hello, sorry for the inconvenience. You may contact Customer Service in SHEIN app, or simply click https://www.shein.com/robot?page=navigationBar. We'd be happy to assist you! Thank you and have a nice day!
I ordered on the 11th of august! It's the 20th of august! 9 days! Processing takes 4-8 days? Seriously i've waited nine! This is unbelievable you guys seriously need to get it together
Hi dear,
Thank you for ordering from our website. We’re truly sorry for keeping you waiting.
Your order was placed on 11 August including 8 items. Most of your items belong to ‘ship in 24 hours’ except the “Blue Vertical Striped Ruffle Hem Blouse” and “White Round Neck Embroidery T-shirt”, so it takes longer for our suppliers to get all them ready. We apologize for the delay. We will ship your order out as soon as possible.
Apologies again for all the trouble. You can contact us if any problem.
SHEIN has the cutest clothes for an affordable price. Then the shipping doesn't take long. I will continue to shop with SHEIN and hopefully one day I can become a model for the company.
Bought 2 swimsuits. Reviews said runs small and size up. I wear a Size 8 (U.S.). These swimsuits are made in China where women hv "short torsos" and "no boobs"! I sized up from a medium to a large and could not get the swimsuits to go all the way up my body without stretching them to the point of almost ripping and my boobs were "hanging" out the sidesliterally! I'm 5-4 1/2 tall and a size 36C bra. Can't return swimsuits. Although inexpensive, I don't like wasting my money. Don't know how the other clothes fit, but definitely am not willing to try "anything" else from SHEIN. I would attach a pic to substantiate this review but it would be R rated and quite frankly I don't like exposing myself. Also please note, all the 5 star ratings are a SHAM. One reviewer said her rating "defaulted" to 5 stars and the website wouldn't let her rate anything less. Read the 5 star ratings and you'll see many of them "should not hv been" 5 stars. I wish I had read more into the ratings before ordering and I would hv seen the stars didn't match up to the written reviews. I ended up going on Amazon and ordered the "cutest" swimsuit I've ever owned that was a "true" fit to my medium size 8 and at a "great" price! Should have done this first - lesson learned.
SHEIN attempted to assist this customer with their order, however we did not receive a response.
Although I didn't receive my package yet, I feel totally disappointed. My items had the "shipping in 24 h" tag. Still, needed 4 days to process. The tracking shows "waiting for shipment" since 2 weeks. My emails got ignored, same as chat messages. This is ridiculous. Never again.
Edit: after contacting the company 3 times, I finally got the answer! Actually, mostly thanks to my review, I guess. Anyawy, I have changed the rating to "ok (but very average) mostly due to:
1. For my 3 emails I got 4 responses. Sure, holiday happen (that was the explanation), but still you have to work on customer service.
2. I got my order. And except of the fact, that half of my butt is out (too short underskirt), everything is as described (but if you are expecting HIGH FASHION, you will get disappointed)
3. After long loong time, I got another email, that the status of my order has beed checked again, it is delivered, and if everything is fine (non-sarcastic WOW!)
Still, what should be changed, is the shipping info. How am I supposed to ask if my parcel wasn't lost, if I am not able to say which company is supposed to deliver it?
Not cool thing is also that if you order things that are supposed to be shipped within 24h and, let's call it 'regular time' ones, EVERYTHING will wait (call me stupid, I was expecting 2 packages.)
Anyway, in the end it didn't kill me, but be prepared for some fun (to be fair, it happens with other sites as well)
Dear customer,
Nice day.
Sorry for the late reply and for the waiting time.
We have checked for you and found that this item Pink Deep V Neck Split Maxi Dress in your order cannot be shipped within 24hrs. As a result, we need more time to prepare this item. Hope you can kindly understand.
And your order has been shipped on 26 April already. RT272796575HK is your tracking number and you can track it via http://www.17track.net/en/result/post-details.shtml?nums=RT272796575HK. The tracking information needs few business days for updating. Hope you can kindly understand.
Sorry that our customer service didn’t reply you in time because of time difference and our three-day holiday before. We didn’t do that deliberately. All of you are our precious customers. We will never ever try to ignore you or to neglect your problems.
Hope you can kindly understand and trust us.
If there is any problem, please feel free to contact us via dispute@sheinside.com.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards.
I am in the UK and I bought 2 items.
Quick delivery but the xl jeans were small and short enough to fit a 10 year old... I am a size 12 and the batwing 'dress' was short enough to fit above my backside.
I am furious!
To make things worse, refunding is the hardest thing known to man as you have to upload pics of item, find the invoice, find, the refund link and find way to get the address to send it back! When I eventually got everything sorted to send, it was a whopping
£10.30 delivery cost to China
Long and short of it... DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME AND HARD EARNED CASH
I wish I didn't have to rate to submit my review
Dear customer,
Nice day.
Sorry for late reply and we sincerely apologize for leaving you with such a negative impression.
Thank you for your appreciation first and sorry to hear that our items cannot fit you well. We have checked for you and found you actually ordered these jeans in size L instead of XL. Moreover, we have noted detailed measurement on our web. Is there something wrong with these measurements? Maybe you can send us some photos with clear measurements so that we can check with our factory. We will be responsible for any size and quality problems caused by us. Hope you can kindly understand and trust us.
We are really sorry that you are not very happy with our return policy. But we have noted on our web that the return postage should be paid by buyers. You also can have a reference to http://www.shein.com/Return-Policy-a-281.html. Hope you can kindly understand. And to avoid any mistakes in the refund later, we just want to confirm with you again. Have you returned these two items? If so, could you kindly give us your return tracking number or receipt so that we can check it later?
Please remember that all of you guys are our precious customers. We treasure you and are sparing no efforts to serve you and to meet your requirements. All these problems and worries you had will never be neglected. We will do better in future.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us via dispute@shein.com.
Thank you for your support.

Placed an order - waited over 30 days and finally the tracking number stated that the order was delivered. NOT! NEVER RECEIVED! Contacted them to request a duplicate shipment or a refund - it's not even been 24 hours - and I've had to deal with 2 different people. One person said they would send a duplicate order that I would be required to sign for OR they would issue a refund. Then I get another e-mail from someone else saying that the 'world-renowned website' - which is a total joke because if you check 368 Global Tracking you find the most horrible reviews ever - indicated the order was signed for. I've asked for proof that the package was signed for - they totally ignore that request and then claim that I provided them with the wrong shipping addresss. WHAT? It's like roulette - spin the wheel and let's see what kind of lame pathetic excuse we can give this time. They say they'll give me a 60% refund ---- NOT ACCEPTABLE! On my order there was a charge for shipping insurance paid for by ME - so now there's no insurance? This place is total RIP-OFF ---- now watch, they'll reply with their "BOT" message from Molly, that I should contact customer service. WHATEVER!

As usual very satisfied with the items I purchase on SHEIN. I have been ordering products from this website since a while ago and always happy with the products. However the last time I made an order, I was quite surprised that my order was going to be deliver with a different carrier called "fast horse" since the first time I made an order with SHEIN my orders have been delivered with the Australian post office, which is a reliable carrier and if no one is home they take it to the nearest post office to be collected from. This carrier "fast horse" literally left my order outside of my building, I was lucky enough to be able to leave work when I got the notification and run to collect it. Otherwise I don't what would've happened with my order anyone could've take it or steal it. I'm very disappointed with the carrier as they also broke one of my items.
SHEIN please look into it. I'm not comfortable buying on SHEIN again if they are going to use this delivery company. And it's a big shame because I'm always happy with the products that SHEIN sells.

I'm returning 13 out of 15 items (only because I can't return the other ones). It took 1 month (!) for me to get my order, however, they charged me ASAP. Delivery time is not the same as shipping time - they ship in a few weeks, directly from China! I paid HIDDEN FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE - 5% of my order price, which they refused to reimburse. Now I'm afraid to return it all because they are giving you some store credit and I'm not sure how to get my money back to my credit card. Even for a Chinese website, this is TERRIBLE.
You can buy the same cr@p 10 times cheaper on buyincoins or aliexpress. Sizing is absolutely inaccurate - one shorts of my size are huge and the other ones are tiny. Oh yeah, you have to take pictures of every item that you want to return! Ridiculous!
I'm going to tell EVERYBODY about my experience with this website so other people never get SCAMMED. They have no respect for their customers and they are not gonna last long, especially in America. You are lucky and smart if you are reading this before you ordered anything from there. If I'm not getting my refund - I'm reporting online shopping FRAUD!
Dear customer,
Thank you for ordering from our website, we are so sorry for letting you down.
We checked your account, it shows you have already download the free return label.
Please do not worry, we will certainly refund to the credit card you used to pay on our website.
After we received the returned package, we will refund you as soon as possible.
But the bank normally takes 10-20 business days to process the refund (because it is an international transfer).
If needed, you could contact us to get a reference number to check with your bank.
Normally it takes us 3-7 business days to process the order.
Because we are upgrading our warehouse, there is some delay of your package, we are so sorry for keeping you waiting.
Apologize again for all the troubles, if you need any help, do not hesitate to contact us.
I ordered £60 worth of clothes, which at first I was excited about. I checked my email for a confirmation, and reviewed nothing. I checked and checked again and then realised something wasn't right. When I looked into reviews AFTER purchasing, I realised that this company is not a scam, however it may aswell be. The customer service I recieved was not as bad as other experiences however I had to wait 3 weeks before I got a refund, having pestered the company for days and days on there so called 'online chat'. After getting no where I emailed there returns email address demanding for a cancellation and refund. I managed to hunt down my own order number through the site, as there advisors couldn't manage to find it. I was eventually refunded the full amount having constantly chased up my order. They also found it convenient to go on a Chinese holiday for 15 days.
This has been nothing but stress and worry and from reading other reviews the clothes, if you ever revieve them are disgusting and appallinh quality. I do not know how this company justifies itself, and has managed such successful advertising. What a con. Stay clear. I will be doing my best to report them and have them looked into! All the 5* reviews are written by themselves to try and lure you in. I cannot stress enough how you should stay clear from this company.
Sorry for the late response, hope your problem was solved already. For further issues, you may contact Customer Service in SHEIN app, or simply click https://www.shein.com/robot?page=navigationBar. We'd be happy to assist you! Thank you and have a nice day!
I made my order on the 30th of april and I still have not received it. Eventough they say it is ready to ship in 24 hours, that is a lie since the 24 hours are for processing the order.
Then they produce in China! And you have to wait until the package comes to your closest warehouse. What is curious is that they take your money when they get your order, but when you want a refund it takes 20 days.
On the other hand, we cannot support websites that take the designs of other stores and make a cheap copy of them in China to sell it for less than $10 It is not correcto to support this type of businesses
So please DO NOT BUY ANYTHING AT SHE INSIDER
Hi Erika,
Thank you for ordering from our website.
Yes, some of the orders are shipped from our warehouse in China, and we know there’s still much to be done. Our company has placed the highest priority on improving product quality rather than just expanding the production scale, to make better products and live up to your expectations. We are doing the best we can, hoping to offer you a much more pleasant shopping experience in the future.
When an order is placed on our website, our credit card company would also review your card info and asses the risks, but if we applied a refund to your card, it would need reviews and approvals at many levels, thus it normally would take 15-20 business days for the funds to finally appear on your card. We would surely want to speed that up for you, but regrettably there’s not much we can do, and we appreciate your understanding.
“Ship in 24 hours” means the product is available for shipment within 24 hours, but it would still take a few days for the package to arrive at your door.
Also, would you please provide the order number along with the email address so that we can help?
Please be assured we would always like to get your problems solved as soon as possible.
I'm not one to leave reviews unless it has been a horrific experience with the said business. After dealing with these crooks, I felt compelled to share my experience... I submitted an order for $59. Upon receiving the package and opening one out of four items, I literally threw it in my garage. The stench—Dear God, the smell was atrocious! Like a combo of rotted onions, rotten eggs and chemicals. When I took it to get mailed, I had to double bag it in an effort to spare the postal clerk from having to endure this offensive odorous package. The clerk's response-"I can see what you mean, I can smell it through the bags!" Since they charge a return fee, I submitted a message to their pseudo customer service dept (clearly they don't have one!) No response from these crooks and when I received my refund. I was in fact charged the fee. I will NEVER order from Shein again!

I bought an item from Shein and it came severely damaged! The worst part is that there is no customer care number to call.
Not worth it!

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.
