I've been buying from Shein for a year now. They have stylish clothing for cheap, and free shipping. I have been happy with all the items I've received, and whenever I have questions, customer service is always quick to respond. They are based in London, and so a transfer fee is included in your price, which you might not realize until you get the charge, but it's very cheap. My number one go-to to shop at. Would highly recommend!

The website looked very professional... I had no idea this stuff was made in China and shipped on a row boat to the US so that it took weeks upon weeks to arrive.
Most annoying is that they big a big deal of SAYING they ship your stuff within 24 hours... so you think... great! But like it said... it takes FOREVER to arrive. Ordered a dress 3 of Dec and probably won't arrive for Xmas. Customer service is prompt on chat... but you can tell it's foreigners typing in canned responses in English to the problems people must be complaining about daily. And if you want a refund they make it such a hassle you will end up saying F it.
NEVER AGAIN. And I haven't even got my dresses yet but I'm not expecting much at this point.

Dear customer,
Nice day.

Sorry for keeping you waiting so much time.
Thank you for your support first, actually SheIn is the online shop based on China, but we also have the warehouse in US. If you ordered items which are not stock in US, your order will be despatched from other warehouse rather than US. Hope you can understand.
In general, we can ship these items which are marked with "Ships In 24hrs" with 24hrs, but we noticed that one item in your order sells well, we need more time to customize and stock it, so it caused the delay of the shipment. This incident is really out of our expectation. Please accept our sincere apologies.
Sorry to hear that you are not happy with our customer service, actually you are our precious customer, serving you is our aim. We will perfect ourselves and do better in the future. Hope you can trust us. The logistics shows that your package has been delivered to you, have you received it? We need to confirm with you.
Merry Christmas!
Waiting for your reply.

If there is any problem, please feel free to contact us via dispute@shein.com.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards

New Jersey

Never will I order from this company Shein ever again Ord'd two Kimonos... one was great and kept the other was way too big. Did not receive a return slip and took a lot of time finding where to send back. Finally got an email with an address to return and have never (one month ago) gotten my refund on my Visa charge... They need better customer service... Never again will I buy from them even though their prices are great and the clothes are nice...

Can't Get Updated Shipping Info
April 11, 2022

Order placed April 3. I got notice of "shipping" on April 3 also. I thought that was great. It is now April 11 and UPS is STILL waiting on the package. Do not order if you are expecting updates. Cannot reach customer service. Frustrating.

On September 29 I looked thru the basket and decided to checkout. I clicked check out securely. So on the next page you can add your coupons, check if its going to the right address, shipping method etc. But instead of doing that it directly takes the payment from my card of $ 266.56. I thought it was a mistake on my side and immediately cancel the transaction.
So I do it again and go thru the exact same situation and once again cancelled my transaction. I don't know who to get in touch with for my refunds. They don't have a customer service in place i can talk to. They just have a bot. Now Shein has take $533.12 from my account and I cant find a phone number or email where i can complaint. Please dont not buy from them. This is a scam. No phone number or customer service in place

I was able to get my sister, mother, best friend, AND myself presents for what it would have cost me to buy half of the stuff I bought here. I love sheInside. My floral sweater fit perfectly and was great quality. Shipping was not bad - pretty normal speed in my opinion. Customer service was fast and very friendly. This is my favorite shopping website. Not even amazon can beat their prices. They have not disappointed me. I will be happy to give them my business in the future.

I've never had a problem with this site and use it often. As per usual my item (a very snazzy vintage dress) came swiftly and was exactly as I expected from the picture on the site. I also found the quality to be great and am getting regular compliments when out and wearing it. My only regret is that I didn't use this site to get all my friends Christmas presents from this year as now I think about it, it's the perfect place to shop for them!

If all sites were like this one I think it'd make online shopping a whole lot easier... And more affordable.

What a great experience! I was worried by the previous reviews but I did not have any issue with my order. The items arrived in a timely fashion and they were exactly as described. From order to delivery took a little less than three weeks but it was worth the wait to get my adorable clothes! Everything arrived in time for me to wrap for Christmas gifts.My birthday is coming up and I will be shopping here again and treating myself!

I bought a long sleeve lace dress for my wife and got it extremely quickly. The quality was top notch and very comfortable. She wore it to work and everyone there loved it as well. I'll definitely order more from here in the future.

We placed a $210 order April 17th and still haven't gotten a thing. Says 3-5 day delay due to warehouse relocation, just like everyone else's. There's no number to contact anyone. I feel like we've all been duped. What do we do? So aggravating!

Dear Janie,

Thank you for ordering from our website, we are so sorry for keeping you waiting.
Normally, it takes us 3-7 business days to process the order.
But because we are upgrading our warehouse, there is some delay of your package.
We have marked your package as priority dispatch, and we will ship it out as soon as possible.
If you are not willing to wait, we can cancel the order and issue the refund to you.

Looking forward to your reply!

I have been waiting for almost a month for my package and their only excuse is the warehouse being relocated. They offered to give me 500 Shein credit, but I do not even know if they already gave it and the status says" Awaiting you reply". How am I suppose to reply?

Never Again
August 16, 2016

Clothes are cute. Price is right. Processing and shipping absolutely terrible. Ordered on a Monday. Never received a confirmation. Only saw funds deducted from my account. Fed Ex just received my order today the following Tuesday. It's been 6 business days plus the weekend. So 8 days total just to get to Fed Ex. Now my order is traveling from NJ to me in FL. By the time I get this order it will be at least 2 weeks if not more from the day I placed the order. Ridiculous. If there is a delay in certain items perhaps you should let the customer know. At this point, I'm not even sure all my items even shipped together. Who knows?! I could have driven to your distribution center and back by now. This will be my first and last order with this company which sucks because it's cute clothing.

Hi dear,

Thank you for ordering from our website. We are truly sorry for keeping you waiting.

We are sorry for the fault if we didn’t send you the confirmation email. Normally the confirmation email will be sent to you by default when you place an order, but if you registered wrong email address, you would not receive the confirmation email.

Your order was placed on 8 August. All your items were shipped out together on 10 August and the scheduled delivery is on 22 August. We are sorry for the delay. The delivery time can be affected by shipping mode, customs inspection, public holiday and so on. Hope you can kindly understand.

Apologies again for all the trouble. Hope you can receive your order soon.

October 14, 2022

I order some Men T-shirts and they charge me fir it, however the day after they send me an email to let me know that they can't take my order because theirs fraud department said my shopping is not trusted.
I just dont get. Why they charge me but they said I might be a fraud.?
Now I have to wait 14 days for my refunds and I can't buy somewhere because I have no money.
I will never, ever order anything from them anymore.

I ended up receiving my order over a MONTH after I purchased them... still never got any type of shipping info. The items were definitely not true to size, and I sent them both back. I will not risk going through the trouble of this website again. Don't waste your time, y'all.

I purchased my two items over a week ago and STILL no shipping information... just the "you payed" order. Great. I love it when a company can't get their shipping straight. Will I even receive these items or is this company a scam?

SheIn is one of my favorite sites to purchase clothing. I've ordered about 5 times now and am impressed by the quality for the price. Not all clothing is the same size, but if you read the reviews and the sizing charts, they fit perfectly. Everytime that I have had an issue with an order, their customer service was helpful. I recommend this site to all my friends!

Yes, Kimono
April 18, 2015

I ordered the Black Floral Loose Chiffon Kimono and I have to say it was worth the money I spent and the time waited for it. It's my new favorite clothing piece to wear with everyday wear. My friends are really trying to figure out where I got this and it's fun to watch them guess. I love their selection of shirts too and it matches my personality just right and for a great price! I'm definitely going to be ordering more from this site, especially shirts and a few pieces of jewelry they have on the site, their stuff isn’t like other sites that I’ve ordered from.

We placed an order on Dec. 27 and have yet to see any delivery. The shipping info has not been updated since Jan. 1 and today is the 17th. They have offered to refund my money, but after reading the reviews, I'm afraid to ask for a refund. Sounds like they're not good about giving money back either. :( Ugh.
