Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. I had to contact BBB in order for SHEIN to respond and give me a full refund.

I sent BBB all the screen shots for proof. Refund was processed same day BBB contacted them.

Original review updated Mar 11, 2026
I ordered a couch on SHEIN. On March 2nd, by March 3rd, I was given a tracking number.

By March 5th, the order was supposedly delivered. Wrong. I called FedEx and gave them the info I was given by SHEIN: tracking number and my name, and all come to find out the seller gave me a fraudulent tracking number, meaning they gave me someone else's tracking number, who lives down the street from me, made it seem like I was getting my order, but in reality, it was a scam. They took $383.63 and never sent me the couches.

SHEIN isn't responding to customer service chat; its become frustrating. And also, as the days pass, others have left reviews explaining the same exact situation happening to them! I want a FULL refund of $383.63. The photo provided is someone else's home where the delivery occurred, but I got in contact with the homeowner, and their items weren't even SHEIN orders.
UPDATE: Ive had to contact BBB in order for SHEIN to give me my refund.

Refund was submitted the same day BBB contacted them. I sent over screenshots of everything for proof.
Loss:
$383
Cons:
  • Scammers can sell on there and never send products

Preferred solution: Full refund

Urgent Escalation / Payment Verification Issues

Updated by user Feb 27, 2026

0/10Horrible experience

Original review Feb 26, 2026
Good evening,
I would like to report the extremely distressing experience I have had with Shein. I honestly cannot find the right words to describe how frustrating this has been.

This situation has made me escalate the issue and consider posting on all possible platforms to warn others about what I am going through.
I am based in Egypt, and I usually order from Shein Saudi Arabia through relatives or friends who are in KSA and bring the orders with them when they travel back to Egypt. Unfortunately, we cannot order directly to Egypt due to customs complications, so we either rely on travelers or sellers, which is much more expensive.
Therefore, I place orders based on the travel schedules of people coming to Egypt. Timing is extremely important for me.
In December, I performed my first direct order during my Umrah trip. The order was worth 2000 SAR (Order No.

GSH1QJ521000TAC) using Visa ending with ***2012. Everything went smoothly.
Later, before Ramadan, a relative was planning to travel to Egypt. I started preparing my cart and accidentally placed an order because the app does not require OTP confirmation. The order was placed immediately before I could review the final price.

It was also placed to the address of my first order in Jeddah, while my relative was actually in Riyadh.
I canceled that order because it was placed by mistake.
I then adjusted my cart and placed three separate orders using Visa ending with **1146. My relative was originally traveling on 16/2, but their travel date was changed to 13/2. The estimated delivery was between 1517 February, so I had to cancel those orders because no one would be available to receive them.
The next day, I was informed that their travel was postponed again to 24/2, which gave me another chance to place an order. I reordered, and from this point, the problems started.
Any order placed with Visa ending in 1146 started going under risk verification.

Every document I submitted to verify the payments was rejected for illogical reasons. Customer support was extremely unhelpful, and the experience has been exhausting and frustrating. There has been no cooperation, only wasted time, money, energy, and endless refund cycles.
I then tried placing an order using the original Visa ending with ***2012 (Order No. GSH15K52B00N1YW), and it was successfully placed and delivered.
About two weeks later, another acquaintance was traveling from Riyadh.

I still needed items from the previously canceled orders, so I updated the address to my friends location and placed order GSH16U52N001AF5 on February 20 using Visa ending with 1146.
Again, it went under verification. My friend was only in Riyadh from March 1 to March 4 for work before returning to Egypt. Verification takes 2448 hours and ends in rejection. These orders cannot tolerate delays because they are tied to travel schedules.
The order was canceled automatically without proper assistance.

Customer support was not helpful, and sometimes they even closed the chat before I finished explaining. I cannot call from Egypt, so all communication is through chat, and no one resolves anything they just transfer me from one agent to another.
I decided to place new orders again using Visa ending with ***2012 (which had two successfully delivered orders before) and another completely new Visa card. I placed two orders:GSH16U52B001TKD (Visa ***2012)GSH16U52B00MPDJ (new Visa)
Suddenly, the order placed with the previously successful Visa also went under verification, and the order with the new Visa was automatically canceled without any notification. This is not the first time this happens, and it is completely unacceptable not to be informed.
Since February 21, I have been sending all required documents and bank confirmations proving that the payments were successfully processed from your side, yet you are still keeping them pending or rejecting them.
Responses come once per day, are useless, and show no understanding of my situation.
I firmly believe that this issue is not related to my cards but rather that my account has been flagged.
Previously, I canceled three orders and then reordered two of them shortly after.

Since then, every new order goes under verification or gets canceled even when I use a different Visa card.
This clearly indicates that the issue is related to my account activity, not my payment method.
There is nothing fraudulent or suspicious about canceling and reordering items. This is normal customer behavior, especially when adjusting purchases.
I am requesting:A full manual review of my accountRemoval of any security flags or restrictions applied to itEscalation of this case to a higher departmentWritten confirmation that my account is fully clearedAssurance that future orders will not be automatically placed under repeated verification or cancellation
I need a clear resolution to this matter cause I wont stay Silent and I am gonna take further serious actions if its not resolved.
Sincerely,
Nouran.

Preferred solution: Compensation and Resolution to the ongoing issues I clarified.

The same happened to me. I keep submitting proof of bank card statement as the fraudulent team requested and it's still not enough.

They don't even tell you what is wrong in their generic system reply. I am done with this cheap online retail company! It was going to my first purchase on this site. Now it will be my last!

It doesn't pay to save a few dollars. Have spent hours trying to resolve this issue. Will use only reputable stores.

Customer service is nothing but chatbots. Useless!

I have contacted the company at least five times regarding their product and delivery issues. With all this hassle, I still have not received a refund, but had to pay for a replacement. I was told by the customer service rep that the replacement would be free because if the annoyance

Original review Dec 20, 2025
Not only did I wait such a long time to get this order, but I am very, very upset as it is a Christmas gift! How could you possibly send something like this out when it's missing the letter 'S' on the last word?!

THING-NO S! I need a replacement immediately. I am very upset. Plus, I have two other items coming.

I can imagine what this is going to be like. See photos! Doesn't anyone want to check before you mail things out? How can someone not notice that the 'S' is missing?

The first photo shows what the T-shirt is supposed to be printed as—things. The second photo shows the misprint! THING. Ridiculous, Jill Barbarise.


I have been trying to use your live chat, which doesn't even work. I am so disappointed!

Now I find out the return address isn't even valid! What is going on with this company?
Cons:
  • Horrible customer service

Shein - My stuff had got stolen off my porch and I want a refund back

I feel like it should be better when people drop your stuff off not to leave it near the stairway. Also, if you're not home, do not leave the packages. It's not going to do it to make sure that someone is home because a lot of things are going on; that people's stuff is getting stolen, and it's not right in fear.

User's recommendation: I would like my refund back because this is really a serious matter that somebody stole stuff for my children

They owe me about $400 in refunds and refused to give it to me. I returned about $150 in items, and they refuse to give me the refund for that.

Then I bought a $200 mattress, which wasn't even the right size, and when it got here, the box was so beat up. It had a big hole in it, and they still refuse to refund that. One transaction didn't even show up, and there were unauthorized charges made to them that I didn't approve. They are completely scamming people.

I had to get a brand new card because of all the unauthorized charges, and they still will not give me my money back. I'm out about $400.
