  1. [R1] SHEIN 1/5 · US Me encanta: Tiene muchas opciones y variedad, pero a veces el producto no maches con la foto del producto
  2. [R5] SHEIN 5/5 · US Great App: It’s very easy to find anything! There’s lots of options. I appreciate how the algorithm recognizes what styles of clothing and jewelry I like and makes proper recommendations.

  4. [R25] SHEIN 5/5 · US Deals: Lots of choices, good price.
  5. [R2] SHEIN 4/5 · US No me interesan los anuncios de descuentos: Si yo entro en la app es porque tengo la capacidad económica para comprar, las promociones son buenas pero hasta cierto punto no es posible que no pueda ver que a cada rato aparece una ruleta para dar un descuento; ha cambiado la plataforma y para mal copiando lo que hace Temu; si quisiera eso me metro a Temu porque es más barato y tienen lo mismo pero b
  6. [R3] SHEIN 3/5 · US Good but prices are weird: I order things here all the time, but say it says it’ll be 80 dollars once you check out the price goes up by about 40-50 dollars, it makes no sense
  7. [R7] SHEIN 2/5 · US CHANGES PRICES strategically‼️: You remove an item to less’n the price “supposedly” but now most items might move to regular price since you remove an item. Coupons may affect your payment as well. Sometimes is even better not applying any coupon at all.
  8. [R9] SHEIN 3/5 · US Constantly changing prices feel like I’m being scammed.: I don’t like the way the prices of your items change once you put them in your cart or when you simply check your cart to see what the total price is, and it has changed from the last time, you checked it, even though you haven’t added or removed anything. Also, I find myself spending more time, spinning wheels, and trying to get free items
  9. [R13] SHEIN 2/5 · US Too much: It’s so much just to look and see stop with all the spins and stuff

Y yo vivo en
  15. [R15] SHEIN 1/5 · US Pay: It won't let me pay for my order with my card or any other one; it keeps showing an error, even though I've tried several times.
  16. [R26] SHEIN 5/5 · US Love the plus size selection!: I have loved almost everything about the clothing. Only thing that would be better is if it was more cost effective to return items. The return shipping is not even worth returning anything. But I do love most of the products I have received.
  17. [R36] SHEIN 5/5 · US Worth: Chinese stuff but it’s decent quality decent shipping and they give you free stuff whenever u log in we will see how the next order goes or if it comes in time for vacation
