      I am so frustrated with SHEIN I dont know what happened but now we get packages individually. You dont get it all at once and when you return something they give you a partial refund instead of the full one I have used them for years and they always have a lame excuse. I just wanted to share with others because you never can speak to a person ever. As soon as I get my full refund, I am closing my account. Does anyone know if we lose points because I have spent so much money with this company, they are losing a loyal customer

      SHEINs promotional programs, are all scams!! You have to refer x amount of new users, then you are promised a prize at the end. In my case, I was promised a $150 coupon bundle, and a $150 store credit. So, when I get down to my last new user, the game glitches, I was right there watching the new user sign up, and yet I hadnt received and notification about it. So I login and check the app, THEY RESET MY GAME SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY ME!! Upon contacting customer service, I was told that they were aware of the technical issue, and give them 24 hours to solve it. Then this morning I receive an email saying since there was no winning record associated with my account. Of course there wasn't! You reset my game when my new user clicked the link!!I am so frustrated at the deceptive business practices going on here!! It takes alot of convincing sometimes to refer a new user, and ********************** never intended on fulfilling their end of the deal. Waste of my time!

      Ordered package on December 3rd paid extra for a rush delivery. Stated that delivery would be here December 10th or 11th. Tracked package through DHL and it said that package would arrive on December 14th. Refreshed DHL on December 15th and now there is no delivery date at all. Today is December 16th and still no package, no updates, nothing. Spoke to DHL and they said that the package has been in ********* since December 9th. Because of the holiday season it is backed up. I ordered at the start of December so I dont believe that. SHEIN wont let me cancel my order since its still in route, and I cant start a return/refund of the item since I havent received anything yet. I just want my money back so I wont ever have to deal with this company again! Won't be ordering from SHEIN again I'm disappointed!

      Order number: GSUN9S52A00NJK5 Order was placed on 10/31/2023. Shein stated order arrived by postal service on 11/12/2023. Shein has never split an order and delivered parts by postal service. I never received the item and Shein doesn't provide questions pertaining to missing items and has no working telephone number. Also, another portion of a 2-piece was missing and Shein sent a portion of the refund as a store credit. There's no way to contact business, or it's very difficult find. Poor, unethical practice.

      I order $295.96 worth of products from Shein on 8/30 trying to find an outfit for a bachelorette party. There was a huge hassle with receiving the items as they kept trying to make me sign for it even though I released the package without signature. Finally the carrier made me change address. I changed it to my work address and still had never received it over a month later. Screen shots are attached of the conversation with carrier as well with proof that part of the package was never received and delivered to the wrong address. Shein has a policy you have to return all items from the order together at one time, so I was waiting for my missing items to show up before returning everything and missed the return window. I tried multiple times to chat with Shein, but their system was down so I disputed the charge with my bank. Once I finally was able to reach Shein, I cancelled the dispute with my bank. I reached out to Shein to make them aware of this and asked to be allowed to return the items, as well as a refund for the items never received. They are refusing to assist me. Asking me to wait 6 months to do the return almost a year later is unreasonable.

      I placed an order on November 30th and received my tracking information for a delivery between Dec ****. The tracking information for OnTrac constantly showed incorrect information. Starting on the 9thw when the package was not delivered OnTrac updated to delayed delivery with the next day for expected delivery. This has happened everyday until 10/13 when it says the package is no longer in the local facility but now in **. I have contacted both OnTrac and SHEIN to have this issues resolve. OnTrac said the investigation was closed and I have to contact the seller. I want a full refund. I feel like both businesses are full of it.
