I ordered hundreds of dollars worth of items, and only part of my items arrived, even though the shipping company says everything was delivered, it was not. I tried opening up a ticket and the customer service always said that I had to contact the shipping company. When I did they didn't even know what to say. The funny thing is is that I payed for a thing called shipping insurance, they make you think that If something happens to your items they will refund or replace the items if you pay for shipping insurance, guess what? They HAVEN'T. They are a dishonest company, and they scammed me. I have never been so unhappy. I purchased the items on July. And their customer service sucks. What hurts the most is that I payed for the shipping insurance and they won't refund my money or replace the missing items. I am so unhappy with this site. Last thing I did was send them an email and I want to get a lawyer involved, this is called scamming. I spent hundreds of dollars in your stupid site and even got the stupid shipping insurance and you can't even reply to my tickets.

(UPDATE)
The site has sent me a couple of e-mails telling me how they're going to undo their mistake and send me all my stuff that I PAID for and NEVER received IF I would take down this review. So they have been basically trying to bribe me, not gonna happen, you might have thought you would buy me out of having my OWN and HONEST opinion, but no, I'm not putting this review down, and I want people to know what they're really getting into! Sketchy business and sketchy people managing this company, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY.

Defos worthwhile!
April 12, 2017

Okay so I'm always one to read reviews before buying from unfamiliar online retailers so I always try to give an honest one, no matter how brutal. When I came across Shein I was sceptical. Firstly, there was so much to choose from, secondly, the prices were far too cheap even for online prices. Then I read the reviews and I've gotta admit I wasn't convinced. Things from delivery right down to the quality was named and shamed.
However, I still wanted to give it a go. I ended up spending about £130 thats the equivalent to $162. Yes. I bought about 10 pieces of clothing. For a first time buyer I knew it's madness but I done it anyway.

Here's what I thought of the whole thing.

Delivery- came within 2-3 weeks and I live in Scotland. I was so sceptical of it that I went online twice during the delivery to check the status of the package by speaking to someone on live chat on the website. They were very helpful. Zoe and Irene told me exactly where it was, (customs and when the package landed to the UK.) On the day they said it landed to UK, it was delivered to my door 8 hours later.

Quality & Size- I chose my items carefully by reading the reviews on each item. (Hence why I like to write reviews in detail for people like me) I am a size 10 in the UK and most of the things I bought on Shein was a size M.
In terms of the quality- I love every item. It is fantastic quality and fits wonderfully. It would easily pass for things you would by at Zara
It's not very often I bulk buy and love every single one.

Warning- If you want to buy something for a party next weekend, this probably isn't for you but if you plan ahead for a holiday, wedding or generally have about 3 weeks to plan your outfit ahead then go for it. Shein is great. Read the reviews on each item, obviously you will get an idea of the best sellers VS the not so great items by seeing what other people scored.

But y'know what? I thought Shein was GREAT. I'm going to crete in 2 weeks and I'm gonna look like a greek goddess thanks to Shein.

Hope this helps ladies.

Hi Jocelyn,

We’re truly sorry for keeping you waiting.

Normally it would only take 3-7 business days for us to get the order ready, but two of the items you ordered happen to be in great demand, thus it took a few more days for our suppliers to get them ready, and we apologize for the delay.

Your order was already packed and handed over to FedEx, you can track it with the following tracking number and site:

61299992140423323507
http://www.fedex.com/us/

The tracking info would update once the package arrives in your state, you can also contact the courier with the tracking number if you need it in a hurry.

Thank you for your patience with us, hope you will receive the order soon!
