I've placed an order on 12 August, and the shipping type is Express shipping which it takes based on whats written in the description from 2-3 days. And I haven't receive any updates about my order. I'm so disappointed. I'm traveling next Tuesday and I really need to have this order with me while traveling. I paid more money just to get the Express shipping service. And to get my items in maximum 3 days based on whats written! Now its been 5 days and the status of my order is still "Processing". If I don't get my shipment before Tuesday I would definitely ask for a refund!

Hi dear,

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

You placed 2 orders on 12 August. Usually it takes 3-7 business days for our suppliers to get the order ready for shipping (we have mentioned it on our website). Most items of your order XHX7904 have been prepared well except the Polka Dot Off The Shoulder Tie Waist Maxi Dress. And it takes about 15 business days to deliver the items to Saudi Arabia. Hope you can kindly understand it.

Your another order belongs to a bulk order, we did need the photo of order CZK7903 payment credit card (last four numbers and card holder’s name) and the photo of credit card holder’s personal ID or passport or drive license (show us the name) to avoid unauthorized transactions and ensure the payment security. Just cover the personal photo and ID number if you do not want to show us as we just want to confirm the buyer’s name. I promise that we will not reveal your personal information to others. Did our customer service ask you to offer the identification? If you still want this order, please send them to us as soon as possible. We will make delivery for your order. Certainly, it is okay for you to cancel the order and we will refund to you.

Apologies again for all the trouble. Looking forward to your reply.

Already feeling a little dissatisfied with this Company. I ordered a dress a little over two weeks ago and I have yet to receive it. I haven't receive one piece of communication as a follow-up as to when it will ship. There are no clear directions on their web-site on how to verify tracking. If you click on the TRACKING button (BTW, repeats an error message) you leads you to another blank page. Doesn't appear to be a terrible company, I think maybe revisiting their processes and procedures as well as address customers concerns, suggestions, and ideas will help.

Dear customer,
Nice day.

Thank you for your support and sorry for keeping you waiting.
Generally preparation for delivery usually takes 3-7 business days instead of 3-7 days as our web noted, and it is not included in the delivery date. Sorry for all the troubles we have brought to you. Actually your order has been shipped on 5 Oct. In order to protect your private privacy, we will give you the detailed information of the package via email. Hope you can kindly understand.
And sorry to hear that you cannot track your package on our web, this incident is beyond our expectation. It may be caused by the system, you can try it again. Please remember that you are our valuable customer, we never try to deceive you. Thank you for your suggestion, we will pay attention to these problems and make some improvements in the future. Hope you can kindly understand and trust us.

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

I know there are a lot of negative reviews on SheInside, but I've had nothing but good experiences with them! I can only imagine these are only when orders have gone wrong and none of the good ones. People like to talk about negative things more than positive things, it's true!

I ordered a dress from SheInside (This one to be exact: http://www.sheinside.com/Black-Long-Sleeve-Embroidered-Sheer-Mesh-Yoke-Dress-p-*******-cat-1727.html) and I adore it! It's very timeless and fit me well. The material was fine too, and there was a bit of a smell that went away after a while, so it didn't really bother me. I also have ordered jewelry from them in the past and I still have all of it! Shipping can take a little while but I feel like it's worth it because everything is so cheap. I always order from SheInside and I always will!

I love Shein
July 3, 2017

I love shopping with this website. I usually buy thu fa after carefully reading the reviews and looking at the pictures the customers post. So far, I have lived everything I have purchased. They usually reply quickly to emails and have even refunded me when I accidently made a purchase which I did not intend to. Overall, great customer service!

Order process
April 8, 2021

I ordered something from SHEIN 02 March 2021 with Express shipping. And it said that it will reach to address 11-12 March 2021. I paid extra cost for express shipping. So far, The order is till processing and I contacted with customer service they said that it will reached me within 8-9 days. It means 17-18 March 2021. This is really bad experience for me that I've ever encountered in online shopping.The shipping process is terrible. I will never buy any products from shein.

Bad shipping company
August 12, 2023

I no longer buy at SHEIN, things get lost and no one answers, the shipping company leaves your things lying on the doors of the buildings and they get lost or stolen themselves, they don't even ring the bell for you to go downstairs to pick it up. Terrible service.I did not receive what I bought despite the delivery message

Fashionable!
July 27, 2015

Absolutely adore these shoes! I have purchased two so far, pink and two black. It was so easy to place order on this site, I got my shoes on time and am happy about that. The first ordered pair was black(7.5), I actually ordered a half size bigger because I was concerned about the fit. Boy was I wrong, they are true to size, ended up giving my sister this pair since she liked them so much and ordered myself two more in a 7. They are very fashionable and comfortable, perfect for spring and summer! So far the pink colored flats are my favorite, such a vibrant & cute color.

Dreadful
June 17, 2023

Orders /bank statements
February 6, 2024

Ordered a dress through this company which was $30 including the shipping my husband paid for it on his debit card we get a notification through their fraud department that they need a little extra information for us before they ship the dress. We sent him a picture of the bank statement showing proof we paid for the dress they denied the picture saying it was not a complete clear picture. We took another picture up close of the bank statement letting them know we were not going to give out our account number or anything else but the picture of the bank statement through his bank which we did online. I can see if the outfit was over $500 that they would have their fraud department looking into it but a $30 order really?! Ridiculous crap! Get it together Shein!

Love it!
September 3, 2015

I had a fantastic experience with Shein.com. I chose the Black Geometric Print Drape Front Knit Cardigan. Not only am I in love with the style, but the cardigan hugged my body perfectly. I was surprised at how smoothly the purchasing process was. I thought the process would be complicated but it was not hard at all. The entire process was simple, quick, and easy. The shipping price was very reasonable as well which made me even happier. My cardigan arrived in good condition. This has become my go to place for my clothing items.

Never again
September 22, 2022

I made my last SHEIN purchase, August 2022. The company has horrible customer service. My package was delayed over 1 month due to logistics, when I finally was able to make a return of the unopened package they had the audacity to try to make me pay 7.99 for shipping. As of Sept 22, they only refunded me partially. I'm uphold at the service I received, I paid $82.60 and was refunded $69… my order was supposed to arrive 8/14 I came over 1 month later. I'm dishearten and will never order from them again. They didn't communicate at all I had to start a PayPal dispute that's how real it was because they refused to give me my money back. I will never encourage anyone to buy their poor quality clothing. I spoke with Adrian; it was a waste… but I won't again.

I bought two dress for my younger sister from this site. sheinside.com is the best site of online shopping I ever used. Purchase is very fast and products are cheaper than other site. It is better than the average online delivery time period. Therefore you don't have to wait for ages to receive your desired items that you ordered from this store. You will for sure get what you are looking for and even much more. Recommend this site.

Check your sizes twice!
October 11, 2018

Ordered a dress size L - when I am really a S... because I was leary of clothing from overseas manufacturers. The dress was so small I could not even get into it.
I verified my size on their chart before ordering - As I paid only $15 for the dress, to return it would have cost almost $8 - so I donated it.
The style was cute, the material was thinner than I prefer.
Look twice before you purchase!

I love SHEINSIDE's blazers! I bought two of them, a royal blue one and a red one from SHEINSIDE. The colors are exactly as they appear. I typically wear an X-Large in tops/jackets/dresses, so after reading the other reviews I ordered a few sizes up. I got them both in (L size) and they fit perfectly. If you look at the measurement chart, you can pretty much figure out which size you need to order. They are really soft and flexible, but they still have great structure. You can wear these to work and look professional without your movement being restricted.
DEFINITELY, this has turned out to be one of the best purchases I have ever made. I didn't want to spend $200 or more on a blazer that I won't wear very often, and this dress is the most beautiful of any I have seen in my months of looking for a dress.
Great purchase, amazing service! I seriously recommend. Just watch the sizing! Thanks

This is the biggest scam website going!
For 16 days, i've been told that my order is ready to be shipped, it's with logistics and will be another 1-2 days away from shipping! For 16 days, i've been told this!
They are a scam. Stay away. Trying to contact them is nightmare. What a waste of $113.
I have all the emails, conversations and just look at their facebook right now... Noone is getting their orders. SCAM

I have ordered from this site once before and didn't have any problems with shipping, however I placed an order 12 days ago and it still says "processing." I need one of these items in a week which is why I placed the order so long ago, but it has not shipped out yet and I have expedited shipping. I'm hoping this issue is resolved because I like the items I ordered! I have also contacted them on the website and haven't heard back.

Hi Ashley,

Thank you for ordering from our website, we’re sorry for keeping you waiting.

The two dresses you ordered happened to be in great demand, thus it might take longer for our suppliers to get them ready, we apologize for the delay.

I’m afraid they won’t be able to arrive within a week. Do we still need to ship the order once it’s ready?

Please let us know how you wish to proceed, thank you.

I ordered three items, my package arrived really quick in less than a week. To my surprise I had received extra items not ordered. When I went Into my account my order history was gone! Missing. When I looked at my bank statement I was charged for all of them. I tried emailing them@ support shein.com, *******@shein.com, and non valid emails.! I kept getting email not found.
Phone numbers listed are not true numbers *******212, Facebook messenger is how I finally reached them. They sent a return label. I went to the post office and the lady at the counter told me it was not a valid return label. The numbers are incorrect. To contact the store again so they can send a valid return label.
This is FRAUD!
They delay the process so the 40 day return window passes!
I am upset because an order that was originally $42.00-3 items ordered... my bank statement stated 179.79! Say what! And now I can't seem to get a correct label to return these items and receive a full refund!

EXTREMELY UPSET!

Never send your order
July 29, 2023

Do not ever order from these people. I'll order two swimsuits in June and I still do not have them and now they're saying they're delivered after I complain, so you'll never get your item it's a fraudulent company. With a fraudulent tracking system. Shein Clearance Center is the one don't order from. Fraud they take your money, never get item. They steal your money and will not refund it. Don't order from them. They won't refund the money either.
