I am a repeated customer of Shein and I love their stuffs. You just need to check the sizing really carefully before ordering from them, check the material, and beware if there is no review available for a specific item. It's just this one time I tried to return 2 clothes (I've purchased more than 10 items there) and was in contact with a nice customer service, despite the fact now I don't know if they receive the things or not and if I'd ever receive my money back. But yeah, I'd say that they have some really great stuffs but be careful if you want to return stuffs... I don't know if there's anybody out there except bloggers that has received their money back from the returned goods... or maybe I'm just unlucky this time. Nevertheless, because how cheap the price of the stuffs was, I didn't lose a lot of money.

They are robbers
April 12, 2017

ABA******* this is my order and the tracking says it's stuck in New York for a week, The customer care people keep giving stupid pre typed template responses. After pestering for weeks they told they'll refund me. But I'm worried they'll rob me of money and not send the clothes too. I think this website is a scam. Be very careful. Do not order here

Most deceiving website I've encountered.
Site wasn't clear that they ship from China (aside from the terrible grammar that should have given it away), so I didn't receive my items for almost 3 weeks.
I ordered size Mediums, and what I received would barely fit a child. After trying on the clothes, I felt disgusting as the items smelled like the basement of a D rated restaurant. On top of all of it, the item materials were completely different than what was described on the website, they felt almost grimy.

Do not order from this website!

Dear customer,
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience we have brought you and the late order.
The reason why the delivery of your order took such a long time is that we are in the middle of the busy season. Besides, before we can ship your order, Sheinside has to prepare your products, do strict quality control tests and carefully package the items, there is a delay.
In addition, we make our apology for the size and quality problem you mentioned. We have sent our return address to your email, please check on that.
Please feel free to contact us with this email: dispute@sheinside.com
Have a great day

I ordered this 2 weeks ago and my package is still processing. I sent a ticket in last week and customer service said it will be shipped in 3 days... another week has passed and nothing. Really disappointed, good thing I bought it early and my event is not until the end of the month.

Great experience
June 21, 2017

I was weary from some of the online reviews but I ordered on June 5 & I was not expecting anything until July because the reviews say it takes a while & they quite clearly put their processing time & shipping time on their site. I received my order today 6/19 and I love all the items. I am traditionally an XS and I ordered all smalls & they all fit perfectly. Very economical - cute items. Happy

SheInside is my go-to site for all my clothes! I used to buy at the big department stores like Nordstroms or H&M, but on a friends' recommendation found SheInside. It is literally a fashion guru's heaven! The prices are unable to be beat- I found a homecoming dress that would have been upwards of $150 for $30 on SheInside and was complimented on it all night. Not to mention, because a lot of people don't know about this gem, no one else had my dress! Now, SheInside is where I get all of my clothes. It's inexpensive with an expensive quality and I love the style. I could literally spend hours on this site :)

Don't do it!
February 6, 2018

I ordered four dresses. The sizing was off and the quality was sub standard but for the price, okay. I returned two items and was never credited. Even though I have a verified USPS receipt showing that the item was delivered to them, they say they never got it. Bad customer service. If you order, better hope you don't have to return!

White Short Sleeve Floral Crochet Bodycon Dress is beautiful in person, its good quality and looks exactly like the pictures, the only little problem is on the back but is not big deal for me. Love it. Very gorgeous.

They make it nearly impossible to find the return method, then when you do, they charge 5.98 for each item returned --- after charging for delivery --- very, very slooooow delivery.

They seem to want to give you a shein credit instead of a credit to your payment source - will fight that because I don't want to order any more of their sleazy clothes which look like nothing pictured.

Stick with zulily, they state if it can't be returned and go overboard trying to satisfy their customers.

Do not order on Shein.

My delivery was delayed over a week so I had to cancel the order as clothes were for a holiday before the order would have arrived.

When I asked for a refund they said it would take 10 - 20 days for the money to get back in my account.

Awful and misleading online retailer, do NOT use.

I bought two dresses from them. Waited 12 days. My Sheinside account said they were delivered - I never received them. I contacted Sheinside's "live" chat and after 41 minutes, someone responded telling me that my order was shipped. That's it. Order at your own risk. That was my first time ordering something and I never received it, never got a refund. Nothing.

Ive ordered a lot from shein.com during the last couple of years and Im (nearly) never disappointed. The quality is really good in general, the shipping is pretty fast (1 week or 2) and the clothes always fit the picture on the site. You can find a lot of trendy articles for a really cheap price and great quality. I highly recommend

Great Experience!
October 18, 2015

I was very impressed with the selection at SheInside, especially all the stylish shoes. I ended up purchasing a pair of black ankle strap chunky heel sandals, which were a great deal at less than $30. The ordering was easy, shipping was fast, and the item arrived neatly packaged. I’m very happy with my new sandals and the overall experience was perfect.

I've shopped with Shein a few times. I noticed every time I go to check out, they do not apply my promo code. Also, I noticed they change the price on you want to go check out. I have photos of the price before I put it in my car and the price after I add it to my cart. They upped it by 6 or 7 dollar. That's fraud. I will no longer referral or shop at Shein

I ordered a big amount of clothing on March 28th which I have not received. It said I was supposed to get my package on March 7 and have not received anything. It says it is in transit and arrived at the local facility on April 4th. It's been over three weeks since then which sucks because I have no idea where it is at or if it's coming. I tried contacting customer service but it would not go through. Being such a big company, I don't understand how they don't have a number so we could communicate with them. This has never happened to me before and I'm so mad about it.

I wanted a few coats for my wife, I'm a guy and don't really like women stores so I just order online. Here the prices were GREAT, especially on coats... it seemed much better than in stores and I even saved 30% off on my first order. The site is very easy to use and maneuver, checking out was a breeze. The flip flops came within the estimated delivery date. I will definitely be ordering from SheInside in the future.
