Worst Customer Service and Refund Process – Beware! Review: I've been dealing with SHEIN for two weeks now, trying to resolve a problem where I received damaged items in my order. Despite clearly explaining that I can't physically return the items because of my back pain, they are insisting I send everything back in order to get a replacement or refund. It's been extremely frustrating, especially since I requested a simple replacement for the defective items. I've reported this to the BBB, the FTC, and other relevant authorities, and I'm still not getting the help I need. This company is making it impossible to resolve the issue. The customer service is awful, and they don't seem to care at all. I would strongly advise against buying from SHEIN if you want any level of decent customer service. They refuse to send replacements and are making this process unnecessarily difficult. Order ID: GSU12U17A00MC3R

Absolutely awful company. Very poor quality products, items delivered with missing items, and appalling customer service. Do not buy anything from Shein.

Scam company!
May 8, 2025

Item never arrived to my address but tracking showing it delivered. I went to the UPSP and gave them the tracking # and they stated it delivered to a different address and that the item package is small (in ounces) and stated this maybe a scam. USPS provided me the detail of the item tracking to show that the item I ordered did not deliver to my address.

It was the worst shopping experience!
I have ordered flare pants in the correct size and a couple of size larger, just in case they run small.
Both sizes are practically the same length... EXTREMELY SHORT!
I haven't ordered in size Petite either.
AND IN ADDITION THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SOLVE AN ISSUE.
WASTED MY MONEY!

Buying from Shein is a gamble, so do not pay Shein anything you are not prepared to lose! In my case, Shein kept BOTH the product I had returned, AND the money I had paid for it. After I placed the original order, Shein advised by email that delivery would be delayed. Therefore I obtained a replacement from another source, and I immediately tried to cancel the order with Shein. They advised it was too late to cancel the order becaused the order had already been "processed." Not shipped, mind you, but "processed." It was shipped four days later. Unfortunately, the carrier misrouted the package and during its approximately twelve extra stops it sustained substantial damage to its packaging. The item was finally delivered when I was not at home. I took photos of the damaged packaging, however I found no damage to the product. I repaired the packaging and obtained return authorization. Approximately one week after the proof of delivery showed the return had been delivered, I contacted Shein because I had not received credit for the return. I was advised the return had "failed" the return inspection. Photos were provided which included red arrows pointing to faint scratches on the product that otherwise might not be noticed. It should be noted the product is a stand used as a tool to repair bicycles, and cosmetic beauty is not an important characteristic of the product. I replied including photos of the damaged outer packaging, and advised that returned product and skimpy interior packaging was identical to what I had received. The reply from Shein gushed with apologies and best wishes, but declined to issue credit. So Shein now has both the product and my money.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Shein been an absolute nightmare, and I urge everyone to stay far away from this unreliable company! They Took My Money & Refused to Help
I placed an order worth £200, expecting a smooth and professional service. Not only did they fail to deliver half my items, but they also refused to take responsibility for their mistake! The tracking claimed my package was delivered, yet I never received it. When I reached out for help, I was met with robotic, unhelpful responses that blamed me instead of solving the issue. Scam-Level Service – They Will Not Support You!
Rather than assisting me, customer service kept demanding proof that was impossible to provide. Instead of investigating properly, they threw the burden back onto me, acting as though losing a package was somehow my fault! No compensation, no effort to replace my items—just endless scripted replies that lead nowhere. If you ever have an issue, don't expect them to care! I PAID EXTRA for Fast Delivery – What a Joke!
To make matters worse, I paid extra for quicker shipping, thinking I'd receive my items before my holiday. Instead, the delivery was delayed and completely pointless, meaning I wasted money on a useless service. Why offer express shipping if you can't guarantee reliability?! Save Yourself the Headache – Buy Elsewhere!
This was my first order, and it will certainly be my last. I've never experienced such disrespectful customer service and complete incompetence from an online retailer. If you want reliability, accountability, and professionalism, shop somewhere else—because this company won't help you when things go wrong!

DO NOT ORDER FROM SHEIN ANYMORE AFTER JAN 2025. Your Order will be sent and not delivered unless you pay customs and tariffs fees. They are stating this is TRUMP's doing- it may be but not the issue. They also say they will reimburse 50% of fees.if you hound them. However, if you fully paid you order and shipping or even free shipping with large orders, no additional fees should be needed. Their customer service is not helpful at all and would do nothing. Once it is shipped you are screwed! They are just ripping you off now! Beware!

Can't shop!
January 20, 2025

How can anyone even shop on the site when it just keeps popping up these stupid "spin to save" or "pick your prize" then it has you pick 10 items then they want you to share. Reminds me of temu. I get so frustrated that I don't buy anything and I've shopped on the site several times. Get it together temu...I mean, shein 🙄

Scam
January 26, 2025

I think the quality of many of Sheins products are great for the price. I have issue with the "free gifts", I truly believe it's a scam. I was supposedly 0.01 away from "earning" my 5 free gifts yesterday after placing a large order, all I had to do was invite one friend to receive my 5 "free " gifts. I invited 2 friends both of which ordered something and still today I am still playing that puppy game to win the supposed 5 free gifts. And the closer you get to winning to lower the points they give you for winning any particular step within the game. I feel like a greyhound race dog chasing the fake rabbit around the track, I don't think I'll ever catch it. And it's a dang shame because I will get to the point that I won't even do business with them anymore, I don't like to be scammed,especially when I'm spending money with a company. I had honestly hoped SHEIN would be better than Temu but it seems to use the same scam tactics.Do better SHEIN!

The items are defective. Some sent me 1 item instead of 3 items. You can not return it. They refunded me 1 item out of 5 incomplete orders.
The time I spent on dealing with customer service is not worth the money. They got over $50.00 out of me for useless crap. Hope they are proud of themselves.

3 times in 1 week with 3 different orders. SAYS DELIVERED. Was NOT Delivered to My address. I HAVE PROOF which I provided and they do not care. DELETED the app and would NOT recommend what so ever. Mailing garbage items to random addresses in the same zip code as you. You get nothing, someone gets garbage and tracking shows delivered. And THAT is how they get out of refunding. And when you try to leave a negative review it doesn't get posted. Even with photo proof that the package that was shipped was WAY WAY WAY smaller than what you ordered and the picture of the front door is not your house, they do NOT CARE and keep INSISTING it was delivered to the RIGHT ADDRESS! SCAM. Oh and did I mention the silver PLATED jewelry they STAMP 925 when it is NOT 925 silver. They lead you to believe you are buying REAL 925 silver, it's garbage with silver plating. This happened to me way too many times with SHEIN. SCAM, RUN.

Order not received
January 14, 2025

I just received an order, that my package had been here. I waited a week and a half, and got to the doorstep and there was no package there. Their customer service was very nonchalant. Only offering me a refund. I was very pissed off. I had to drive 30 minutes to a message, that had said my package had arrived, going there and finding out there was no package there. No call from delivery driver, saying it had been dropped off. Just a text message. I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever, use their service again. And I recommend that no one, get deliveries from them.

If I could give zero stars, I would.
I have been a long time shopper at shein. Like long enough that i am considered a tier 3 VIP. And up until recently still supported them. For the first time I have had an issue with a shipment. There were missing items from my package. Contacting customer service was unhelpful. I was told I would be credited points to my account to repurchase the missing items. These items totalled about $70. The points i was credited were worth less than $1. Contacted customer service again. They told me to contact the shipping company. Which I have done. With no response.
Shein refuses to resolve the issue.
To top it off their products have went down in quality but huge price increase. They cap the coupons so you can only save a small amount now, where they used to be unlimited. The coupons also aren't nearly as high of a percent off as they used to be.

I can see why loyal customers are dropping off left right and center. Save your money. Shop elsewhere.

I will never order from shein! They delivered my pack to the incorrect address and when i reach out the next day they told me there wasn't anything they can do. A month in half later and they dont want to resend or refund my money the package was 600.00. Everyone writes the same message (copied and pasted) and dont care to help. The customer service is horrible. The reply at 4 am and when you reply you have to wait 24hr for them to send you the same message. They dont care to assist. This is the email i have received since 1/13. They dont even have supervisors. This is insane!

A copy of the email below.

I have been a customer for years. Never had a problem with packages until recently. My biggest order. Over $100 worth of stuff. They decided to use a new carrier for my stuff and not the usual USPS. Some bs called SPEED X. They posted bogus updates on my package saying undeliverable, then delivered but guess what I got no package. Long story short Shein decided to favor this carrier and are not giving me a refund or credit for stuff I never received. My stuff basically stolen. Doesn't matter if your a customer for over 5 years. I never had issues and the minute I raise one they shut me down quickly. I'm shocked to be treated this way. Worst part u cant talk to anyone, you have to send stupid messages and wait for a response. I even contacted the SPEED X, they have yet to contact me, dead silence...makes me wonder, is there a scam going on under the table and stealing money from customers knowingly...never would I have thought Shein would treat a customer this way. But guess what, never again, I will not spend another dollar. Whoever has my things, I hope karma hits you very very hard.

SCAM!
February 8, 2025

They do not have any way to reach them! I was charged for an order I did NOT place and was never send an order number so there was not way to return $300 worth of clothes I DON'T WANT! I've emailed them and opened disputes with PayPal AND sent 20 emails to Shein. They only send a generic response stating "they're sorry I had a bad experience with them." This is so crazy.
