I have to say, over just a little over the year, this company has drastically improved in every aspect. Over the summer, I decided to try ordering from here again and I can honestly say that I am impressed. The quality of their products have improved so much. They're basically exactly like something you would buy at Forever 21. My advice is read the reviews. If it's got a lot of good reviews, you're basically safe to order it. Their customer service has also been much more helpful and quick to respond. In one of my orders, I received a defective necklace and immediately they apologized and told me that they would send me a new one. Overall, I'm happy for all these improvements and see a bright future for them!

Where is my Money

After about a month of headache emailing Shein back and forth to agree on return shipping prices that they scammed me on, I finally sent back the items. It's been more than a month since they received my return packages and I still haven't gotten my refund. They told me it would take 10-20 business days for it to process. It's been 25 business days. This is so ridiculous. I just want my money back already.

Worst customer service

I would never ever shop at Shein. Yes, you'all be satisfied with about half the clothes you receive, but the other half is either terrible material or looks nothing like the online pictures. The return is then the biggest headache of your life. I received so many emails during memorial weekend with free shipping and return deals, which is why I proceeded to order twice over that weekend. However, when I wanted to return a couple items from both orders, their customer service rep, Camille, told me that I don't get free returns because I used the international site, instead of the U.S. site. I clicked into the website through my email... We then sent about 25 emails back and forth where she was rude, had terrible grammar, had terrible service and finally agreed to give me free returns on only ONE order. I don't understand how a company can advertise free returns and then blame the customer for using the "wrong" website LINKED to the email. When she finally gave me the shipping labels (one that I still have to pay for because at this point it was too much of a headache for me to argue anymore), the post office said she gave me first class shipping labels that only allow packages of 13 ounces, which is less than ONE pound. I emailed her telling her the situation and she responds that I only have five items and so the weight should be fine. And that if the USPS does not allow it, I would have to pay for the return fees through my own expenses. Excuse me. FIVE ITEMS for 13 OUNCES?! This company is actually ridiculous and tries in every little way to squeeze the extra dollars and pennies out of their customers. They do not at all care about their customer satisfaction. I will never shop here again.

]Dear Katrina,

Thank you for shopping at SheIn.com.
We deeply apologize for all the trouble you have experienced and for our items having not lived up to your expectations.
Since we have strict quality assurance before each product is packed and shipped out, please send us a few photos of the items you received if the items came with defection, bad quality or wrong size, or are not like the description on the website. If it is the case, we would surely help you to refund.
Our Return Policy may vary with the website you are. In fact, US orders placed at us.shein.com, m.shein.com/us/ or with our app can only be returned free for the first return label when customers have paid for the return premium $1.99 at checkout whether there is a sale or not. For later return(s), or you haven't paid for the return premium, a handling fee of $5.99 will be deducted from the refund per label. We are so sorry for having misled you.

However, for the former order, we have offered you another return label so that you may return the five items with two labels. We are so sorry for the weight requirement for parcels. Few American customers experienced the same matter. For the latter order, you may download the return label by yourself after clicking Return Items in My orders.
In fact, we are not shirking our responsibility or blaming you. Instead, we are trying to help you.
Thanks for your feedback though. We're improving to bring customers better shopping experiences.
Our apologies for all this.

After more than 40 emails back and forth, they started sending me refunds separately. I told them that I wasn't sending the other clothes back unless they agreed to pay for the packaging fee because the original one was unusable. They finally agreed and after refunding me $2, I got a wire transfer charge of $15. DO THEY ACTUALLY THINK WE ARE DUMB?! This so ridiculous. I got back $2 to be charged $15. Why won't they do things directly and why do they keep giving unnecessary charges?! Literally SUCH A SCAM COMPANY who has no respect for its customers. After trying to email them, they told me that there is nothing they can do because it has nothing to do with them. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. They refused to do a direct refund and made me do a wire transfer knowing that it would simply charge me 7 times the amount they were refunding. NASTY GAL LIVES UP TO THEIR NAME AS THEY ARE A NASTY COMPANY.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

I ordered more than $100 worth from this company and it said 5-6 business days of shipping. After about 10 business days of not receiving my items, I shot them an email asking about my package and they told me that I had to wait another week to see and that there was nothing they could do right now. When I finally received my package almost 3 weeks later, the packaging was ripped all over which 2 giant holes and then wrapped together with plastic wrap to keep the whole thing together. In addition, 2 of my items were missing, the quality of everything was horrible and had a weird smell on it and the one item that was actually somewhat okay had black stains on it. The company also does not have any phone # for you to call, which is super sketchy in itself. I just really hope that they give me a full refund, despite the missing items and pay for any packaging costs as the packaging is clearly in no condition to be used again...
