Yeah I agree! The reviews tend to be pretty accurate to be honest, I always check them before buying an item. Shipping seems to be really fast on the last couple of orders I’ve had
The reviews on Shein are some of the best actually. I love when people take photos of themselves in the outfits and include with the review - properly gives you an idea of how it looks.

Who buys this cheap shite? The quality is naff, made by cheap labour on a few pence a day in China and sent here at a huge cost to the environment. Shocked that Brits still want to buy cheap tat from China.
Hate to break it to you but the vast majority of the f clothes for sale on the hightstreet - from high end stores to budget retailers- is mass produced in factories in places like China/Vietnam/Maylasia etc

(Also people can buy whatever they want from wherever they want so maybe go and preach somewhere else)

I have been umming and ahhing about ordering from SHEIN for a while. Seen so many things on there I like the look of and then when it comes to to checkout I cave because I’ve read so many mixed reviews about it.
Has anyone ordered from there that can give honest opinions before I waste my money please?!

I bought a pair of jeans and they STANK OF POO. It wasn’t immediate, it started after washing them the first time. Apparently it’s something to do with cheap dye. I soaked them in vinegar, in Vanish, in boiling water... they still stank. The smell even transferred to my hands whilst handling them.

Another pair of jeans ripped the first time I wore them.

Tops and dresses have all been fine (albeit very see through) but AVOID THE POO JEANS.

I've just packed up my first orders returns. I ordered 4 tops, 2 dresses and some pjs.

Kept 1 top (the others were too big), 1 dress (the other didn't suit me) and these PJs which I LOVE.


Also got these little gift boxes which are cute

Took ages to come, but ahead of their estimated delivery date. Would I order again, probably not
Quoting myself, but I wouldn't buy again. The PJ bottoms lasted no time at all, ended up with a hole in the crotch. The refund took weeks to the point I assumed I wasn't seeing it.

I’ve had a few things off here and as others have said, it’s really hit and miss! The quality of some stuff is awful and like an “itchy” sort of material. I always really carefully check the reviews as I find they do tend to be quite accurate! One of my fav midi dresses for summer is off Shein, I love it so much I bought it in 4 colours, and it’s been washed loads and is fine. I’ve also got an insulated lunch bag which is really good quality! And the case I have on my iPhone atm is from Shein, I’ve dropped it loads and it’s not smashed so that’s good 😂

On the other hand I’ve had other stuff which has been awful, not washed up well, been see through etc. I guess you get what you pay for!

Did my first shein order recently (I've let the kids order fidgets previously) and just came to say wow the birthday skin primer in pink is amazing. I've spent ££ on primers in my time and this is my favourite, really nice packaging too.

I’ve just realised for orders over £160 they charge a crazy handling fee of £30-£60 … so if you’ve spent that much you need to do two orders! You can untick half the items, check out then it leaves the rest in the basket so you just split it!

I can’t believe how quick the deliveries are coming these days… I ordered last week and it came in 3 days, mental!

A while back, I bought an 'Autograph' label dress for $59 on special and the first time I washed it, one of the seams came undone. A bit annoying, but I'm handy with a sewing machine so I repaired it. Then the hem came down and little loose threads would appear from nowhere.

A few months later I met a lady at a function wearing the exact same style, but in a far nicer pattern. I asked her where she got it from and she said Shein ... I told her about the issues I'd had with my one and she said she had the same issue with the side seam stitching but didn't really mind as she loves the dress and it only cost her $10.

I think a lot of the High Street stores probably get their stuff in from the same factory as Shein and add their huge mark-up.

I would also be interested in seeing people’s opinions on this, never ordered anything before, I like the look of the stuff but just feel a bit iffy about what the quality will be like

Just thought I’d share my bikini experience -
For reference I’m 5’10 and wear between a 12-14, usually a 12,
I ordered about 15 bikinis all in a size large, most fit perfectly and the quality is the exact same as Missguided/plt and they’ve washed really well, I’m pleased

Best thing I’ve bought from shein is raised cat bowls for my cats! Highly recommend. I’ve bought loads of clothes too u just have too looo at the reviews under each item to get the correct size !

Has anyone ordered shoes from here? There’s a pair of boots I have my eye on but unsure about the sizing issue?
I bought shoes once were miles too small look at the reviews under the boots to check
