Very bad company
September 23, 2024

BE CAREFUL PURCHASING FROM THE SHEIN COMPANY!
I ordered an item for £135.95 and returned it straight away. I received a letter from them saying that they would return the money within 24 hours, I waited 10 days, but they did not return the money. I filed a case, then the messages started saying that I have closed the case, then the money will be sent. I didn't get the money. This is a lesson for the rest of my life and I wish Shein's company no more customers because they have no respect for them or themselves. This company has been deleted for life.

SHEIN IS A SCAM!
September 21, 2024

SHEIN IS A SCAM! DO NOT TRUST!
They sell products, take your money, but then they don't send the products to you. I was a loyal Shein user, placing orders every week and spending a lot of money there. You would think that after I reported a missing product they would apologize and provide compensation. WRONG. They dismissed my claim, telling me that I was lying and that the product was, in fact, sent to me. I'm here to tell you that it was NOT sent to me, and I have a feeling that they oversell their products and when they run out, they simply don't send it to you and then claim that they did. IT IS A SCAM, DO NOT ORDER FROM SHEIN.

DO Not Order
August 20, 2024

They sent half of my items. Have not refunded the money. No phone number to contact. Do NOT trust this company! There's no way of getting your money back. This place is a scam. The clothes that arrived look very cheap and thin.

Lack of Flexibility for Loyal Customers
I've been a loyal Shein customer for a long time. Recently, due to a health issue, I couldn't return an item on time (exceptional circumstances). Despite explaining my situation (and requesting a chance to exchange the items size at least.) my request was denied, and the escalation was never raised. My ticket was closed and marked 'COMPLETED'. I feel ignored and will never use this shop again.

I understand return policies, but exceptional cases should be handled with empathy. Disappointed with the lack of flexibility.

STAY AWAY
August 17, 2024

They are cheap but you will never receive your merchandise. I ordered a product on August 1st 2024 and 10 days after not receiving my package I called UNI UNI delivery. They said the warehouse was notified to ship the merchandise. I still do not have what I paid for. If you want to waste time and you money you can purchase from this vendor.

Crapy customer service
August 18, 2024

Never again will I order Shein crap... I ordered 3 tops in May.received them but all 3 were bigger than I thought so I returned them hoping for Shein to send me a smaller size... nothing since May and no refund of $50. Just glad it was a small $$ amount cos crapy customer service is useless and they pretend to do something but won't. Stealing $50 is pathetic. It's August and still nothing from May... unbelievable

Ich habe ein Paket mit 4 Produkten zurückgeschickt und Shein hat mir das Geld teilweise zurückerstattet. Er hat mir nur 3 Produkte erstattet. Für das teuerste Produkt hat er mein Geld nicht zurückgegeben, ich bin mit Shein sehr unzufrieden. Er schickte mir eine Jacke, die drei Nummern größer war als die, die ich bestellt hatte. Sie forderten mich auf, das Produkt zurückzugeben. Ich schickte es zurück und er gab mein Geld nicht zurück. Ich bin auf einer Betrugsseite. Ich empfehle überhaupt nicht.

Horrible customer service
November 29, 2024

If I could put 0 stars I would. Horrible customer service that does not value their customers. They sent me a damaged item and when I reached out to customer service they told me I needed to return it to them so they can make verifications and then they'll be able to refund me. Mind you the item is a 1$ cheap flower. I have never had any issues returning things that didn't fit me or I just didn't like but cmon all that for a 1$ item (that they sent to me damaged which is their fault!) thats cheap. It isn't even about the money it is about the principle you send a damaged item you fix the issue. Especially now that Canada Post is on strike they dont even take any packages and im not going to wait I dont know how long for a 1$ refund which I told them and they didn't seem to care they said the only way that I can get refund is if I send the item back. Even if I do send it back to them, then what? They'll probably throw it away so why make things more complicated.I would 100% understand if it was a pricey item and once again I never had any problems returning the items back if they didn't fit but this is ridiculous. I have ordered with them for years and the way they treat customers is disgusting and unacceptable. They don't even care about making their customers happy or finding a good solution. The customer service agent kept giving me answers that weren't even about my request and it felt like I was talking to a robot without any compassion. Anyways it is the last time I order from a cheap and disgusting company that doesn't value and treat their customers right.

I have been a Shein customer for many years.

Recently I made some orders and sent some stuff back.

Shein now refuses to arrange for reimbursement despite existing proof of shipment, just as they refuse to submit an investigation.

It is not even discussed, the customer service leaves something to be desired.

It doesn't work that way and I will do everything possible to get my money back and remain persistent!

If I do not receive my refund promptly, I will go to the lawyer.

How much would you like to pull your customers over the ear please?! Customer service no help! You have enough evidence and yet the employees lie and say it's not in storage?!

Please Shein shame on you!

Every time it says, as with other customers, it is not registered in stock! Why do you deal with your customers like that?! Do you really need to rip off customers?!

In addition, I would also like to point out the return policy on the website. Targeted to point 3

*We may withhold the refund until we have received the goods back or you have provided proof that you have sent back the goods, whichever occurs sooner. *

I have documented everything so that I can prove that I am entitled to the refund.

Shein is not reliable, do not order stuff from them. I have ordered 20 items, all needlework related. Have only received 8 items. Some of very poor quality. I've been robbed. And my original order just disappeared from the Shein app, is no where to be found so I can have proof of my order. Total rip off.

Horrible Company
July 29, 2024

Be very cautious with ordering from this company. I ordered almost $600 in clothes for my daughters back to school and the logistics company FedEx that they used delivered my package to a Amazon warehouse which I should have had USPS not FedEx bananas I chose standard delivery not express. After reaching out to FedEx to try and find my package I got no where and was told they only refund the merchant and that the merchant would have to file a claim so after being directed back to SHEIN I open a ticket. SHEIN refused to help me and continuously redirected me back to FedEx ignoring my request to file a claim. I have still not gotten my money back nor my package found and it's been a week.

Very bad customer service
June 27, 2024

The pricing is fair, and they offer a good range of products, but their customer service is severely lacking. My order placed during Eid arrived with an open package and several items missing. Despite my repeated attempts to contact customer service, I received no satisfactory response until they finally agreed to issue a refund for the missing items and suggested I reorder the items.

This experience has left me questioning how reliable your service is.

I have been a loyal Shein customer for years and have never encountered issues with payments or delivery—until recently. My last experience was nothing short of a disaster.
For months, I've had trouble with their delivery partner Uni Uni. To resolve this, I specifically requested that future orders be sent via Canada Post, as customer service had previously assured me they could accommodate this request. However, for my last two orders—placed at the same time with separate order numbers—I reached out to ensure this was done, only to discover that both were sent via Uni Uni.
When I contacted customer service about this, I was met with excuses. They blamed the warehouse, even though I had sent a clear request. Then, they casually stated, "We will punish Uni Uni"—an unprofessional and completely inappropriate response.
The problems didn't stop there. When I received my orders, I wanted to return a few items. That's when I discovered a $26 shipping fee on one of the orders. I was told this could be due to a glitch, but instead of resolving the issue, I was asked to provide proof that I didn't select express shipping. Seriously? As a long-time customer, I expect better than being treated like this.
Adding insult to injury, I was told that the coupon I applied made my order ineligible for free shipping—even though the pre-discount total was $129.62, well above the threshold. I didn't notice this at the time because I was focused on requesting Canada Post for delivery. Yet, customer service implied it was my fault for not catching the error.
The final straw was their dismissive attitude and unprofessional language during our chat. I've never experienced such poor treatment from Shein before. I wasn't asking for free service; I simply wanted fairness and acknowledgment of the issue.
I'm done with Shein. Once I receive my refund for the returned items, I'll be deleting my account and app. To anyone considering shopping here: BEWARE. Their customer service has taken a nosedive, and their attitude towards loyal customers is Appalling
