“Cheap products--not sized for the average American woman. Inaccurate ordering information. Returns on first orders ARE NOT FREE. AVOID”

“Have placed £1500 worth of orders over the last 3-4 months. Quite a few of these were express orders which arrived 1-2 WEEKS later than the date given. I let this slide on the first few orders that were late but the last order I placed was over a week late meaning I didn't have the items for the date I needed them for. I contacted Shein to ask for a refund of the £12 express delivery or for it to be credited to my Shein wallet as they didn't provide the service I paid extra for. They have refused based on the fact they have to pay for delivery whether it is late or not. So they are willing to lose a customer that has spent over £1500 with them since February this year over the sake of £12.”

“It should not take 2 months for a refund. Shein received my items back and I still have not received my refund.”

“Spent $100 got 9 dresses, one arrived stained, the rest were either fallig apart or so thin you knew you were only getting one or two wears out of them. DON NOT RECOMMEND. They will not let you return items after 45 days of shipping even though I had received them less than a month ago.”

“Poor customer service. Not able to reach Shein. A big company should have at least a line available to contact concerning orders.”

“Beware of Hidden charges in the form of a 'Handling Fee', which was not shown on my order confirmation, yet I am now being charged around £30 for ordering a couple of items in different sizes. I had not used the site before and was unsure whether they were true to size due to mixed reviews, so I wanted to try on and see what fit best. As the delivery takes a long time to arrive I thought I would order the item in 2 sizes and I am now being told there is a charge for this. I sent some items back and noticed my refund amount was incorrect and customer service have explained that there was a charge due to ordering an item in two sizes. I was shocked as this is not on my order confirmation anywhere.”

“It’s been years that I do online shopping and I have never had an awful experience like I had with Shein!! They are a bunch of thieves that have no clue how to be trustworthy and work properly.one of the dresses that I have ordered was terribly stinky(which shows that they don’t follow the hygiene restrictions at all! Who knows where were those clothes before!) and The shoe was way more bigger than what I have ordered, and I have sent them proofs and photos of What I have ordered and what I have received that was completely different and unpleasant! They were so rude, unprofessional and unable to manage the issue and mistake that they have caused. They did anything to escape their responsibilities and deny their mistakes. Even with proofs and photos! They just wanted to kill time and ignore their mistake! They don’t speak a proper English as well, other than being rude and incompetent! Please don’t waste your time and money on these BS apps. What a shame! 🤦🏻‍♀️😖😣😩🤬”

“I am livid! the cost to ship a return back to you is R1500.00!!!! which is practically the same price I paid for the entire order! I knew there was a catch somewhere with SHEIN! Never again and I am about to give you a "wonderful" review! This is ludicrous!”

“Beware I bought items from Shein over $400 but half of my order were made with cheap materials. I returned them, they acknowledged receipt but kept tossing me about my refund. I used afterpay for the purchase which I already made part payment my refund could have covered the rest of the items and money I owe afterpay but Shein has still not refunded the money to my original payment method which is afterpay.”

“Beware the handling fee! I just returned some items to Shein and noticed that I didn't get a full refund. They pointed to their terms and conditions which refer to deducting postage and a 'handling fee' from the refund and confirmed that I had been charged a £53 handling fee so be aware of this when ordering!”

“SHEIN Canada has no concept of customer service. I am trying to obtain assistance in returning an order that arrived last week and yet my order history is empty so I have nothing to choose in order to get my return label. The phone number is out of order and the chat bot is absolutely useless. I will NEVER order from them again and if my situation is not rectified I will escalate my action.”

“Garbage China based company who tries to act western based. Paid for expedited shipping and to them that's 8 to 9 days. That's not expedited when you claim to be shipping from the US and Canada. One more dishonest offshore company.”

“This was my first order. It took longer than stated for my order to arrive, but nothing to bad. The clothes are ok for the prices. They aren’t the greatest quality but will look nice for at least 6mths to a year for the most part. Perfect for a special event, birthday, holiday, special occasion or something to find affordable cute outfits. My main issue came with the items I returned because I didn’t like it on or couldn’t fit it. My sent back package has been delivered to them for days according to usps tracking, however their website says they are still waiting for the items. They have not started my return or refund or anything in multiple days because the status still says awaiting items. Each time I contact customer service in chat (which is a nightmare it took 3 days to find out how or get a response because they don’t answer emails) all they did was say it’s received and kept showing me usps tracking screenshots saying it’s been delivered. I’m like, yea but why doesn’t my account on your website show it’s been delivered. The processing hasn’t moved forward to any of the steps because it’s been days now and you still show you don’t have the items…? They literally just repeat the same thing without acknowledging what you’re saying or what the problem is. There is no resolution. It’s been 2 weeks and it’s basically like the items I mailed back are lost within their company and no one cares. I feel robbed, I should have researched their location before I worked with this company. I’ve had numerous horrible experiences with companies based in China. It’s like they literally dare you to sue them knowing that it’s easier to take the lost than fight for your money back. It’s beyond unethical. The practices of this company are violently frustrating to say the least. I personally don’t think it’s worth it to purchase from this company unless you are ok with potentially taking a loss on the amount that you spend.”
