The truth is one cannot help but fall in love with the clothes on She-in. It's wow especially for girls on a low budget. However, you should come prepare and bring along a mountain of patience. Why?
(Bitter Part)

1. The processing is not 3-7 days it is more than that. Like even more than 2 weeks especially if you buying a lot. I ordered on the 22 of May 2017 and it only shipped on the 2nd of June 2017.
2. the customer service is alright but they will each tell you different things and it will make you so frustrated.
3. my shipment was separated into two different packages because some items was out of stock. I have only receive one by DHL and they have ship the other one by standard shipping =(.

However, once your item is shipped (if chosen expedited) it will take only 4 days and that's alright. You will then be happy with your clothes that you will forget about all the $#*! you went through. The quality of the clothes is alright.

So overall if ordering a lot of items have the patience to wait for the so call "processing time " its crazy but the clothes is nice. #bittersweet

Do NOT buy from this store! I ordered some clothes over a month ago and the package still has yet to leave from CHINA. I live in the US. This is completely unacceptable and irresponsible. I can't believe a store can get away with this. It's practically criminal. I'm not sure I'll ever get the items I PAID for.

I think the quality and price point of this site is a nice in-between and step up from total clearance and budget sites. It has an interesting range of styles you don't find at lower price points. However, still suffers from execution of design. What you get is about 90% what you see on the website 90% of the time. Maybe 80%. If that's good enough for you for the price, give it a try. I do like the designs.

All items received today - and I will say the Coral/Pink Short Shift Dress is DEFINITELY worth the wait. I will purchase in the future but definitely take note that the delay in shipping (compared to other online stores) is much longer than expected. Again, Worth the Wait!

Date of experience: June 9, 2017

Shipping time is absolutely ridiculous - compared to many other online stores. I don't think it should even be an issue if it is made 100% clear that just filling the order would take 6-8 days. Then for it to be sent out is ANOTHER 5 days. Then on the shipping website there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY of getting an ETA. I have already contacted customer service and was told this same information. I also was told by customer service BEFORE purchasing that an ETA would be given once it was has been packaged. I am now told this is not correct - you do NOT get an ETA. ( One of my items was marked "Priority Dispatchiing) Again, I think right at the time of checkout it needs to be in big, bold letters (and throughout the checkout process) that the shipping is in no way the same or even similar to many, many online stores. Once this is clear, it becomes the buyers option if they want to continue.

WILL IT EVER SHIP
June 11, 2017

I placed my order on the 25th of May and my order IS STILL IN THE PROCESSING STAGE. After making multiple complaints, I received an email stating that my order which is ready for shipment will be shipped - but have not received any further information regarding this either. Utter unprofessionalism on behalf of shein and extreme disappointment on my side. Will I EVER RECEIVE MY ORDER? If you are unprepared for international shipping, simply do not offer it.

Decent
June 8, 2017

Clothes were fairly inexpensive and I received my whole order within a week of purchase. However, sizing seems to run a bit large and I was unable to track my package. Additionally, one item I purchased was a tank and choker combo that came in a "one size fits all." The tank did fit me but it would not fit someone of a larger frame, and the choker that came with was way too big. Some sizing corrections and package tracking would help but overall I am a happy customer.

I sent the company an email and they still haven't replied back. I am very disappointed and need my clothes by a specific deadline!

Awful! I paid for express delivery and it took three weeks for my dresses to arrive. When they came they were so cheap and then I was told to get a refund i had to post them from the UK to Belgium, which cost me £12.

Dear Lucy,

Thank you for shopping at SheIn.com.
We are so sorry for disappointing you.
Please note that before one order is shipped out, we need to process it, which normally takes 3-7 business days. But since one item you ordered is in demand, it has taken us much more time to process your order.
Finally, we shipped out most items of your order on May 26th, which has been delivered, within 3-8 business days of express shipping to UK.
And the last item was shipped out yesterday, on June 5th. The logistic information would not be updated before the parcel arrives at UK sorting center, which is 3-5 days later from the shipment. Please don't worry. Here is the tracking link: https://track.trackingmore.com/royal-mail/en-JK689596897GB.html. You may also track it later in My Orders.
Since we have strict quality assurance before each product is packed and shipped out. If the items came with defection, bad quality or wrong size, or are not like the description on the website, please send us a few photos of the items you received. If it is the case, we would surely help you to refund. Otherwise, the return postage is on you.
However, as a compensation, we have refunded you both the shipping fee and the item that is still on the way.
Our apologies for all this.

Fraud
June 7, 2017

After all my problems to make a purchase, i wrote that i cancel the order. I feel that they want to steal my personal information requesting different cards, driver licence etc. Immediately after my cancellation notice i receive note from them that everything is good and they send me the order. I wrote to them that i cancelled the order. And i received from them that order is already shipped. WITH TRUCKING NUMBER! I told them that I will complain to fraud unit. After that they texted that order has been cancelled and money will be returned! And there was no shipment was made. This is FRAUDULENT company on my opinion. I saved all conversations, so its all with proof

Stay away from this company. My order was delayed with several weeks and then it came is 2 separate shipments. I returned an item that came in the 1ste shipment, that went well, but upon returning an item on the 2nd shipment I was chargedoing the 5.99 return fee... which was a rip off as I paid the 1.99 shipping insurance fee. This company should shut down!

SLOW SHIPPING
June 3, 2017

Apparently they relocated warehouses so there would be a delay. I did qualify for expedited shipping but still took a while. Ships via DHL from Singapore. Out of the 6 blouses I ordered, I kept one. The sizing is WAY OFF. A XL is like a Small, some L items looked like XXL. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. Only plus is that their jewelry is cute and very cheap.

I ordered my dress a few days ago for graduation thinking this website would be fast like alll the other websites i order off of. Well i was getting nervous because ITS GRADUATION, so i checked some of the reviews for this website and i saw so many negative reviews saying shipping took too long. I am nervous now because graduation is in 11 days and still nothing. My order isnt even processed yet. If my dress fails to reach me in time for an important day of my life I will never be buying from this website ever again.
