I've ordered twice from this site and received the items (not fast by any means), however on my third order to the same delivery address, the package has been lost. The status of FedEx smart post hasn't updated since 6/14 (it's last update showing that it departed a facility that's 20 mins from me!), so I reached out to FedEx. They said since it hadn't been updated in 10 days that it's probably lost. I copy and pasted my online chat with FedEx into my ticket and have not received a response about the status of my refund in days. I will not be taking another chance on this company.

Scam
March 14, 2023

You order a dress and the only thing they get right w
Is the color. The pictures look so nice on their website but the product is disgustingly of poor quality and something you can find at Good Will. Why should i be surprised, it's made in China and the laborers are making their products in sweat shops. The meterial is polyester when they advertise chiffon. The sleeves are advertised as lantern sleeves but instead i got skin tight polyester sleeves. The neck line is supposed to be a high and under the chin and instead i have two pieces that meet in a V-shape. We call this bate and switch. Horrible and unethical on so many levels.

At the beginning of the global crisis I ordered from these people and they ripped me off for $74 and they have not repaired that problem since even though I have written to them and they know it. All they had to do was return my funds but they didn't and I didn't get the package either. I am a disabled senior and these people are a rip off

I live in Canada and order an Outer and two blouses, all size medium. One of the medium blouse fit and the other blouse would'nt go through my head. Lets not even talk about the sleeve for the outer, it is medium but does not pass through my arm. I was asked to return the items at a cost to myself $28 dollars which I refused to pay for. They then asked me to pay for the return then submit a receipt for the cost of the return. It is two months later and I have no received a cent. Now I have to send a ticket to request an update on a site which malfunctions. This is my worst shopping experience ever. I would advise persons dont even bother, no matter how good the "photos' look. The fact that I cant receive my funds months later will have me label this site a scam.

Disappointed
April 9, 2016

I placed an order on 3/28/16 and at first I did not expect it to come that soon reading reviews online. When I checked this week, I was given a tracking number which lead me to believe they shipped my package but was given false hope seeing that on the FedEx website the "label was just created." It says the expected ship date was 3/31/16 which was almost a week ago. I just don't think a tracking number should be given if it is not really shipped...

Hi Annabel,

We're truly sorry for the confusion.

Yes, the order was placed on Mar 29th, normally it would take 3-7 business days for the order to get ready for shipping. It was packed and handed to FedEx on Mar 31st, and a shipping label was created at that time, as you could see from the tracking info (tracking number: 61299992140422425509).

The latest tracking info shows that the package has already arrived in your country, and will hopefully be delivered soon. If you need it in a hurry, you can also contact FedEx with the tracking number.

We will contact the courier to see if they could speed up the delivery, and would appreciate if you consider adjust the reviews after you receive the order.

I purchased from Shein.com the 'black long sleeve lapel button dress' which firstly was very easy to order as navigating through the site was simple and quick, it arrived very quickly in perfect quality so I can't ask for anything more. I most definitely will be returning to this website to pick up some more beautiful clothing since the whole experience is smooth and simple enough for anyone. (order number- DPK4882)

I've been a customer for over 3 years now and shein's clothing boosts my confidence yeah im chuby but im also curvy and their pieces hug my body which i love. They break the stereotype of just having baggy clothes for my body type by having items that make me feel sexy.

I just want my money back lol
May 28, 2021

I've purchased form Shein about 4 times. Usually I end up sending somethings back. It's a hit or miss or good quality items that you either love or hate. I had a recent order over a month ago and NOTHING was good quality. So I sent it back on March 22nd. It's April 28th and my return was last recorded in transit from the NJ post office to their facility. It must have never gotten scanned perhaps. I've been waiting over a month and I just want my money back.

Bad quality
July 18, 2023

The clothes do not look anything like they appear on the website. Half of the time it doesn't fit, the fabric is super cheap, the stitching looks like a 4 year old did it. This was definitely my last time ordering. Everytime I pay more on returns

It's the second time I buy online sheinside.com.
I didn't have any problem, and as the first time everything was as I expected.

I bought a couple of dresses and now a pair of shoes. I think it would be nice if they have an option to sell the hole outfit, I really love it when they tell u exactly what to wear.

Shipping was on time, and sizes correct which is one of the most important things when you buy online, so now I know I can trust them.

May 22, 2023

My friend and I both ordered shoes over a month ago and still have NOT received them! My friend has contacted customer service many times and keeps getting different answers! The latest one... they can only refund her 60%! Bull crap if she never even got the products! Sooo not impressed and will NEVER order from here again! NEVER!

The website is my go-to when I want to buy inexpensive clothes.
The delivery time is about 10 days and so far I haven't had any bad surprises. In fact, some of the clothes I've bought have become my favorites and I've received countless compliments on them!

Don't even waste your time (OR money).

1 - It took FOREVER for me to receive the stuff I ordered

2- I received a pair of pants that did not fit, returned them via USPS mail and never heard back from Shein.

They claim they never received the pkge and just left the situation at that. As a frustrated customer tired of discussing the same issue thru email, I eventually gave up trying to resolve the issue because well... Shein isn't so great at assisting their consumers.

So I never got refunded for what I returned. I paid for an item I do not have or/ own aka Shein basically robbed me.

Also, the quality of clothing isn't that great.

They have NO phone number so you cant ever speak to a customer service rep if you're having any issues. You're forced to go back and forth via email, which can turn into a long drawn out process.

Terrible Terrible Terrible... I literally warn everyone about this site/ online boutique.

Hi Samantha,

Thank you for ordering from our website and genuine apologies for all the inconvenience caused.

After you make an order, we usually need about 3-7 working days to prepare for it before shipping. Hope you can understand. And we will process the refund for Yub1205B119 to your SHEIN wallet asap in 1-2 working days. You can use the money in "My Wallet" for next purchase or withdraw the deposit at any time. An email will be sent to you after we process the refund. Please check "My Wallet" later for updates.
By the way, would you like to contact the shipping company to see if there is any mistake of the return package as we do have not received the return item yet till now, please be assured all we want is to service you better instead of letting you down.

There's strict quality assurance before each product is packed and shipped. And we are still working on the improvement of quality of the products. We apologize genuinely if there is any mistake of our items do not meet your satisfaction.

It may not be available to have a call as SHEIN online system is under upgrading at the moment. Our customer service will help you asap as well in the ticket as much as possible. Thanks for your kind understanding.

We are still working on the improvement of the quality of our products and the transit time. Please trust us we never would like to discourage any of our dear customers.

Thanks again for your kind understanding and warm patience. Have a good day! :)

I was recently referred to Sheinside.com by a friend who has previously shopped here. I was looking for a birthday gift for my girlfriend and i wanted something warm to wear for her for the coming winter months. It just made sense to to get her a fur lined hooded jacket, but I didn't have much of a budget.

It was fairly easy locating the right fit for her. I think I only spent a maximum of 15 minutes from the time I logged in to the time of check out. Very painless and time saving which is what I like. I'm not an online shopping kind of guy. I know what i want when I get on a site and expect no time consuming hassles. So I'm happy with that. The delivery was great not as soon as I'd like but just still arrived in time for her Birthday so no biggie there. All in all my overall buying experience was great and I will definitely utilize the services again

The clothes from shein always if not meet up excell my expectations. They have came in earlier then the expected arrival date both times which is a huge plus in my book. Also every thing I have bought has been affordable and made very well. I will definitely keep purchasing from shein.

They don't have a phone number to call. They want to charge you to speak to someone on line. They also want to charge you in order to reimburse you for lost or stolen package. I've been struggling trying to get my money back. They are not reliable and the cardio they use sucks. They left my package outside the building by the door, didn't notify me and it was stolen. Don't buy from Shein!
