Shein South Africa - Urgent complaint

Dear *** Customer Service,

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the delivery of my order.

My parcel was handed over to Buffalo Logistics, but despite the tracking status indicating that it was out for delivery several days ago, I have still not received it. This delay is unacceptable and has caused me significant frustration.

I trusted *** to deliver my order within the promised timeframe, but the poor service provided by Buffalo Logistics has negatively affected my shopping experience. I believe *** should work with reliable courier partners who can deliver orders on time and keep customers properly informed.

I kindly request that you:

* Investigate the status of my order immediately.

* Contact Buffalo Logistics to ensure my parcel is delivered without any further delays.

* Provide me with an update on when I can expect to receive my order.

* Consider appropriate compensation for the inconvenience caused by this excessive delay.

If this issue cannot be resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to request a refund and reconsider placing future orders with ***.

I look forward to your urgent response and a swift resolution.

Kind regards,

Siphesihle Zungu

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

User's recommendation: I will never recommend if this issue is not resolved by the end of today

My Order was supposed to be delivered...

AI Highlights
  • - Delivery attempts failed; no progress on the order.
  • - Repeated promises of 'tomorrow' delivery with no confirmation.

My order was supposed to be delivered on the 24th. I understand up until today, but there have been sending delivery attempts failed.

Hence, when I contacted them on the 25th, they said delivery will be delivered tomorrow. They kept on saying tomorrow till today, and I have been availing myself absent from work. But the scheduled deliveries clearly were not being scheduled because if they were, by Friday they would have delivered. When I got back to the number, it was being dropped.

I hate that so much because there's no progress. Ever since I started at ***, this is my first terrible experience. Because from the first place, why did they not call me first as they used to? Why deliver not knowing if the person is available that day?

And by the days I’ve been availing myself, they kept on saying delivery scheduled for tomorrow. How many tomorrows does it need to actually be for my delivery to arrive? In 5 years, I’ve been ordering at ***; this is the first terrible experience I have ever had. Hope you work with the delivery agencies because this is complete incompetence.

What if I needed them urgently?

What if by this time I needed to be somewhere? This is terrible and unacceptable.

Loss:

Pros:

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

User's recommendation: Order has to continue to be delivered on estimated date and if scheduled for delivery the following day it has to be delivered cannot keep on saying tomorrow scheduled tomorrow scheduled 5days pass still you keep saying tomorrow how many tomorrows it has to be the dpd has to do better next time atleast give updates heads up not be so incompetent with peoples orders hence they came only once for the fact that I did not pick up the phone why did they continue to come and take pictures as if you want to get things over and done just to pass aren’t you working to deliver order how do you proceed then knowing someone did not get her order as specified because that an incomplete job
