I am a big believer if it looks too good to be true, it usually is.
My question is have any of you actually ordered from the site?
It seems a little sketch. The clothes are adorable and the prices are very reasonable. The reviews are super mixed. Reminds me a lot of the J Crew/Ebay bubble necklace craze this summer.
I ended up on this site awhile back per another super cute all over Pinterest something and I felt the same way! I can't wait to hear what the reviews are, because if they're good then I want to get on this place but if not...I'm glad I'm of the if it's too good to be true camp too!
ReplyDeleteI bought 2 tops from there this summer. They were as pictured and really cute. But had NO TAGS. Like brand tags which I thought was really sketch. I still wear them though lol.
ReplyDeleteI actually "like" them on fb and they post ridiculously cute things all the time...but i haven't been brave enough yet. Love that jacket!
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious as well!!! I have seen their stuff on a TON of fashion bloggers and casually emailed them asking for more info on their blogger collaboration program to get a VERY degrading email back saying "sorry sweetie...contact us when you have over 1,000 followers". Anybody who knows blogs knows that viewership/followers on GFC don't always correspond. So I thought that was strange/semi-rude.
ReplyDeleteAlso I googled "SheInside scam" and saw a TON of horrible reviews about products not being recieved, no customer service, etc. Very interested to hear other bloggers experiences with the company.
I ordered a mint colored blouse from there this summer (was on Pinterest) and love it, but it had no tags on it either...
ReplyDeleteI bought a dress and a top from them over the summer. I think it shipped from China because it took a long time to show up. No customer service. Anyway, they arrived as expected but I didn't really like the way they fit. But I think return shipping to China was almost as expensive as the clothes, so I ended up just keeping them.
ReplyDeleteIt was sort of like Forever 21 quality, so kind of hit or miss. I'd only order if you really, really, really love something and it won't hurt your wallet if it ends up sucking. It's kind of a gamble.
I'm so glad you posted this because I've been wondering the exact same thing. It seems kind of sketch but they do appear to have some super cute things for insane prices...Sounds like a gamble but maybe it's worth it! XoXo
ReplyDeleteWas just wondering the same thing, I have loved all their stuff I've seen on Pinterest but saw this when I searched the other day:
ReplyDelete"Made a purchase for $80 and received all items wrong size.Send them back explaining the reason and asked for an exchange. well this company never contacted me and never send any confirmation that they received my stuff and of course I never receieved any other postage from them.
Beware and don't buy from them
I have bought one dress from them. It took almost a month but with free shipping, I did not mind and I have bought things from Hong Kong that also take the same amount of time. I wrote to them asking when it would arrive but no one responded. However I was relieved when the dress arrived, the quality was good for the price I paid. I would say it is the same as a H&M quality. The dress fit me well. I don't know what the process would have been like if I had to return it. I don't know what some of the ladies mean when they say there are no tags on it - this is very common for most clothing that come out of Asia. Are you referring to washing instructions? One helpful tip - if you pin something on their website or share it on some sort of social media - you get 10 points per item you share. Accumulate enough and you can purchase something for free. that would be the most risk free way to try out some of their products.

ReplyDeleteThey are AWFUL! Stay away! They are based in China, there are no returns. They tell you on the site you can return items... but ...... you have to pay shipping back to China which is $30-40. I ordered a denim shirt, it was too tight and needed a larger size which they were out of stock on. Said I could return and pay shipping which was more than the shirt was worth or I could buy something else at %40 off. Sent me a coupon code. I replied that their customer service stunk, and then they said... thank you for understanding here's a coupon for %15 off! LOL Hello! You just sent me a code for %40, why would I use a %15 off code..... and why in God's name would I ever purchase from you again? Extremely frustrating, not worth it! Sheinside ...... good luck if you buy from them!
ReplyDeleteI had heard SheInside before, the price of their clothing is pretty average. I also bought a cute sweater and a simple blouse from this site. The package arrived after 15 days, which was a little longer than I expected. However the sweater was lovely and material was soft, so it made up for this slight delay. I know it can be difficult sometimes ordering from a company that you've never had experience with before. But i very lucky. Love my shipping.
ReplyDelete^ this girl Endee Lisa has posted similar, grammatically incorrect posts on every negative review I have found online. Obviously a bot from their company! I wish people on Pinterest would realize that this company is a rip-off.
ReplyDeleteSheInside is basically sweat-shop clothing. That's why items are low-priced, low quality, have no tags and ship from China. If you don't mind supporting abusive labor practices in the name of fashion, go for it. They make knock offs of popular JCrew, Zara, ModCloth and ASOS clothing with cheaper materials. Usually the images shown aren't even the actual product. I've read scam reports of people's credit card information being stolen, having refunds rejected by the company, incorrect orders, etc.
ReplyDeleteDon't order. Big time rip off!
ReplyDeleteI seen a of these nagative reviews about SheInside, and I don't doubt that there are people who have had bad experiences, that doesn't have to mean the company is bad. I have bought clothes from there, and have always been pleased.No fuzz, no trouble. No, the quality for my last jacket from there isn't the same as one from Ralph Lauren but you get what you pay for!! As for sweatshop alligations, where is the proof of that? Pretty condesending to just asume that any store operating out of China has to be a sweat shop. And, to be honest, the prices arn't that much different then the ones on F21!! Who gets their clothes from Taiwan btw...
ReplyDeleteMaybe there are indeed some problems existing in Sheinside, but i think you can call their customer service for solving those problems. i have quite often visited their site. Personally, i prefer their clothing for their products themselves with no problem. They are pretty good.
ReplyDeleteBEWARE. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM! I BOUGHT WHAT I SAW ON THE WEBSITE AS A BEAUTIFUL NAVY DRESS (PINTEREST) AND WHEN I RECEIVED IT, NO TAGS, NO INVOICE, NO RETURN LABEL, AND THE DRESS WAS SO CHEAP LOOKING!!! IT COMES FROM CHINA AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIVE IN RETURNING CLOTHING! TOLD ME IF IT'S QUALITY THEY WILL ONLY EXCHANGE NOT RETURN, BUT I POINTED OUT ON THE RETURN POLICY, IT SAYS EXCHANGE AND RETURN IF NOT SATISFIED. I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM FOR A WEEK NOW. I THINK THEY'RE WAITING FOR ME TO GIVE UP OR THE 30 DAYS TO BE UP!
ReplyDeleteNEVER NEVER NEVER BUY FROM THEM!!!!
I'm having exactly the same issue. Cheap bad quality goods arrived after a month and they refuse to give me a return address. I have emailed 3 times per day for the past week and received no reply. Total scam. Steer clear!
DeleteI have been tempted to order from them and have heard a lot of the same mixed reviews, much like the comments in your blog post here. All of the good reviews i'd say that only 5-10 percent of them are actually real customers and the rest are employee's or "bots" with terrible and broken english trying to get people to buy their things. A lot of the items shown on the website are from Zara, Anthropologie, and other expensive brand name clothing stores with the brand name tag blurred out. There was actually a Zara dress pictured on there and when someone had commented that, there was a response on there stating that "although it may look similar, all of their products are made from their own fabrics" aka-knock offs? Anywho..I am still waiting to feel it out and see...
ReplyDeleteHey, I've been in a collaboration with sheinside! :) Their clothes are quite good. I bought a chiffon blouse that was kind of poor quality, but it's chiffon,right? The velvet dress I got was perfect.Oh, check here my full review, I just remembered that I got a review about them! http://s-tep.blogspot.com/2013/04/sheinside-review.html
ReplyDeleteA word of advice to anyone thinking of ordering from SheInside --- DON'T. JUST DON'T. Save your money, save yourself from the aggravation of knowing you've been ripped off. SheInside is only a thin line away from total scam. The concept of taking your dollars in exchange of their goods is a concept too alien for them to grasp.
ReplyDeleteI am now anxiously waiting for orders that may or may not arrive. Worse still, one of them hasn't even shipped yet even though I placed that order 3 weeks ago of today and all the items that I ordered were guaranteed "ship in 24 hours" on their website. Each time I contacted them I got reply in broken English thanking me for my understanding and patience aka just go and wait quietly. Seriously WTF???
Monica Roy, Jessy Parker, Laura Perin are names listed on their website as their 'point of contact' should customers have any further questions to address and would like to take it further than the generic Customer Service. However these "people" never reply to emails. I suspect these are "characters" or western sounding names plucked from phone book to give the company "international" image and boost international customers' confidence to order from them.
Retail therapy is supposed to be fun, it is anything BUT THAT when you shop from SheInside!

(NB I've copied and pasted this from another review site that I posted this on)I have just received a very nice dress from Sheinside. Yes, the quality could be better (it has a few stringy bits hanging off it at various points of stitching) but the design and overall look is certainly worth the price. I was concerned about Sheinside having read lots of negative reviews, (and, almost as worrying, thousands of peculiarly enthusiastic, poorly spelt reviews for almost every item on their website). Personally, however, I have found their communications very efficient and the package arrived reasonably quickly, given that they are based in China. My main point of contention is that the reason for the excellent reviews is that a '5 star' rating or a posting onto a social media site such as FB or Pinterest is rewarded with discounts. So, even if something isn't great, the consumer has a chance to get money off, which is more than likely to sway the level of enthusiasm with which they describe. So, ultimately, my advice is - be prepared for a nicely designed piece of clothing that may have a few rough edges and take about 1 to 2 weeks to arrive if you like outside of China (I think the fact that some people have had items not arriving may well be due to customs duty etc rather than the company itself- but just in case it might be worth not making too much of a big order in one go) but it will be a fraction of the price of other website retailers and as long as you aren't taken in by the rave reviews it should be fine. Personally, I'm very happy with my new dress.
ReplyDeleteVery satisfied with the product at Sheinside. Good quality, fast delivery and unique styles.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd recommend saving yourself the trouble and not ordering from them. I had a similar experience as many of the other reviewers on here and just talked to a friend who had almost the same thing happen to her:
ReplyDelete-the order took FOREVER to get to me.
-I wasn't satisfied with the fit of the 'onesize' sweater I ordered. I'm average size and the sweater that looked long and drapey on the website looked unflattering and short on me, so...
-when I contacted them to return it, I got no response. Tried again politely and still nothing. Tried to 'live chat' with a rep on the website which was just a joke. No help or response once I posed my question. Emailed them again, (this is all over the course of like 2 weeks, so I was trying to be patient with them) letting them know that this was my 4th attempt to contact them and that their customer service was totally unacceptable and I wouldn't be ordering from them again. THEN i got a response, apologizing but saying that they don't accept returns, only exchanges, because the measurements were listed. (Even though their return policy on the site says if you're unsatisfied you can return it).
So now I'm stuck with this sweater I won't wear.
Doesn't seem like an upstanding company to me.
I am a girl who wants to be stylish and cute. I want to buy a dress that can give me this feeling. I searched online stores to find the dress I love. I just saw the link on yahoo answers which I click in, to my surprise, many dresses are my favorite styles. I love this online store very much. So I bought a white round neck lace embroidery dress without hesitation. I am the one who do things without considering so much, as long as I love it, I will get it as soon I could. After waiting for days, I received it and try it on. PERFECTLY. I am so lucky to buy this dress that fits me best. Good material and stylish style all show off my beauty. I can't wait showing it to my boyfriend. I am sure that he will love the dress I bought this time. I will be back again.
ReplyDeleteYour cuгrent post has cоnfirmed useful to me.
ReplyDeleteIt’s extгemely helpful and you're simply obviously very knowledgeable in this region. You get opened my personal eyes to be able to numerous thoughts about this kind of subject together with intriquing, notable and sound content.
my blog www.immaculator.com
At first I was a little scared to order after reading some nasty reviews. But about 3 months ago I ordered a jacket and a prom dress from sheinside. It took about 3 weeks to ship from China to Sweden but I reaaaally loved everything. Everyone was super jealous of my dress and I'm in love with my jacket. I'm not sharing this site with the girls in my school hahah because I don't want everyone to walk around in the same clothes as me!
ReplyDeleteI just had the WORST experience with this website.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for a pullover hoodie and one of my girlfriends recommended this site to me. I went on the website and found one that I liked. After 6 weeks my sweater had still not come in so I emailed them and got no reply. After 7 weeks I sent them another email and this time they replied. They told me that the item I had purchased was out-of-stock but that I could exchange my order for something up to 10$usd more then the sweater had been. I tried finding something else that I liked but everything was sold out. I sent them an email asking for my money back and again they replied with the whole " you can exchange your item for something that is worth up to 10$usd more then the sweater" completely avoiding the issue of giving me my money back. Its not like I wanted an exchange for an item I received. I ordered something which was SOLD OUT which meant I should have never even been able to buy it and it never should have gone through on my credit card!! And the worst part is, is that after 6 weeks I had to be the one to contact them otherwise I would probably still be waiting for my "sold out" sweater now. Its ridiculous. My friend's sweaters came in just fine and obviously my situation doesn't happen to everyone, but the customer service has just been so terrible I would recommend to not even take the risk.
Almost bought something from sheinside until I read this post! Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteAlmost bought something from sheinside until I read this post! Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteMy order just arrived. It is a dress with elephants on. But the dress doesn't fit me. I ordered size M en got it but it is more like a small or extrasmall. There is also no elastic or zipper so.. I'm just gonna adjust the middle part so it fits.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't buy in this webshop however. the shipping takes like ages. And the quality is very low.
Greets
Have a look at my review on Sheinside and Romwe it's on my blog, justanothersydneygirl.blogspot.com.au
ReplyDelete(:
I wouldn't recommend buying from it. I was drawn to their cute merchandise, low prices, free shipping, and discounts. All the reviews were great, so I went ahead and ordered a sweater. The shipping time said 5- 7 days and it's been 2 weeks and I've yet to be even updated on my order status. When I emailed the customer support group, I got an email response with very bad English. Also,I attempted to write a service review on their site and it wasn't posted because it wasn't flattering.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, I would refrain from ordering.
idk I live in Canada and it took 12 days to get here, the quality is like forever 21 which is okay I guess. the chiffon material is a bit..... but then the sweaters and hoodies are really thick and that kind of nice heavy material!! they usually email me back within 2 days so the customer service was good too^^
ReplyDeletedid you have to pay any duty or customs.. I live in Canada and want to make an order !
DeleteI ordered a beautiful coat, which fitted rather small and since the quality wasn't very good, the back ripped open. It was, and still is 50% off and I really wanted to have that coat despite of the poor quality so I ordered it in Medium now (since it's really inexpensive). But I have a really bad feeling about the prices. How is that possible that a webshop is so cheap, and they don't even charge shipping costs?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if it's a sweatshop?
Stay away! I had two orders back to back. Things took forever to get here. The quality is terrible and the sizes run much smaller. I am a small in tops and could barely get them on. I contacted their Live Chat and they told me I had to email a request to get the return address. Why would I have to do that when you have Live Chat? She wouldn't answer my questions and was incredibly rude. I hope they contact me so I can get a refund. Horrible customer service.
ReplyDeleteSTAY AWAY!!! I recently purchased the black hoodie belt waist open long coat as a gift for my sister. I selected this item after reading the description and return policy in detail. The description states the item is made of cotton which is what I was looking for. I purchased it and when my sister received the gift she was horrified. The item was clearly not made of cotton. It is polyester. A poor quality, cheap, and scratchy polyester which makes the garment impossible to wear comfortably. After looking through the packaging I noticed that there is no purchase order or identifying information provided with the shipping. With further inspection of the garment I also noticed there is not label with size, washing instructions, or fabric content. This is in violation of the Federal Trade Commission requirements of selling fabric garments within the US. I have filed a complaint with the FTC regarding their violation of the Textile and Wool Act and encourage everyone to do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI saw a beautiful dress on pinterest and bought the dress. Apparently I never received a confirmation mail even though the payment was taken immediately!
ReplyDeleteI contacted the customer service just after a couple of moments to cancel my order and I was assured that my order would be cancelled and money would be refunded.
However, the next day I get a mail that my item is shipped! What I am I supposed to do... Horrible customer service. Very disappointed. Would neither come back nor recommend anyone to buy from here.
I have had similar issues as many of the other commenters. I purchased a dress only to discover one week later that the dress is SOLD OUT. And you can STILL purchase the dress today on the website (says there are 996 items in stock). I have not received any response from the customer service reps and I want a full refund. I am not hopeful based on other peoples experiences. I reported them to the Better Business Bureau (this is a Chinese company with the website based in the U.S.) and found that they are not BBB accredited and have a rating of "F." There have been numerous other complaints filed to the BBB and it appears that sheinside.com has not responded to any of them (or very few). Everything in the BBB write-up seems accurate and on-par with all of the other reviews I have read here and on other websites. Please see the BBB review here: http://www.bbb.org/greater-san-francisco/business-reviews/internet-shopping/sheinsidecom-in-san-leandro-ca-440014. Let it be a lesson to all of us!
ReplyDeleteAww mann I should've looked them up BEFORE I ordered :( I just bought two sweaters because I found a 20% off coupon on Retail Me Not and the sweaters were pretty cute. Hoping they aren't sold out as well! And I decided to look them up after the fact when my only option to pay was through Paypal and all the sweaters and clothes I looked at were only in "one size." Also I noticed a lot of Coach knock-offs and that made me wonder a little bit, but the prices were too good to turn down and I figured that they don't even need to be great quality at the prices they were. I will certainly not purchase from them again and I hope that I receive what I purchased because Paypal is also a hassle to get money back from.
ReplyDeleteDO NOT EVER BUY FROM THEM! THIS WEBSITE IS A TOTAL SCAM. THEY HAVE ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A PAYPAL DISPUTE WITH THEM..... STILL TRYING TO GET MY MONEY BACK, HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 20 DAYS FOR 2 ITEMS. I ORIGINALLY ORDERED 3 ITEMS, 1 WAS OUT OF STOCK AND IT TOOK 5 DAYS OF DISPUTES WITH PAYPAL FOR A REFUND ON AN ITEM THAT WAS ORDERED BUT NOT IN STOCK... SHOULDN'T THAT BE RETURNED RIGHT AWAY? I HAD TO REQUEST THAT!!!!! SCAM!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA nightmare. Waited 60 days for an item. Finally inquired about the hold up and was told a story about warehouses, no availability, back order. Sooooo since it was a spring jacket and the temp was officially 70 degrees in sunny Philadelphia I requested the order be canceled. They told me it there was a 30% restocking fee. WHAT in seven hells??? I fired off an email about that policy being published nowhere and the fact that they didn't hold up their end of the bargain with the estimated shipping time. They dropped it to 15%. Another email... Threatening to blast them on every forum, social media site etc. And then they fully refunded. Terrible business and likely some form of revenue scamming.
ReplyDeleteDisgusted with this company. I received my items, all of which were terrible quality. I had to contact them 4 times for a return address, and they have still yet to send it to me. They have asked me to send photographic proof of the poor quality of their items, ridiculous! It's a tactile thing - the material is scratchy and flimsy - how I can capture that in a photo, I have no idea. I believe they are delaying getting me the information so that I go over the 30 day return. I will NEVER buy from them. Oh, and the one shirt i did decide to keep, I am currently wearing. It's my size, yet the material is so flimsy I just noticed that it's ripped under the arm. NEVER AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't have a security encoded site when checking out--looks like this: https:// so I didn't put my personal information in--that is how people on the internet can see and use your credit card information. Definitely don't buy there--and those of you who have should definitely beware of your statements because you used an insecure website!!

I was wondering if you ever considered changing
ReplyDeletethe layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text
for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

****BEWARE***** They also sell on the web by several other company names. I was going to order a top from them and decided to google the description to see if I could get a similar style elsewhere. A bunch of webistes popped up and when you go to them, they have the EXACT same website as Sheinside all they do is change the name!!! Total rip-off!!!

The thing that screamed bad news to me was the fact that the shop was located in China! I've had problems with online stores from China before. Half the time they dont even have the product and go looking for it after you have ordered it. If you get the product your lucky. Most places like that wont even supply the product and instead try to run off with your money.
