I am scammed by bufalo logistics

I was scammed by buffalo logistics i have made an oder at 16/05/25 and the following day which was the 17/05/25 buffalo logistics emailed me to pay for my tax and duty and i have paid .and i went to the app and realised my oder was supposed to be with imile logistic and so i thought it was a coincidence until today i received an email from imile saying i have to pay for my customs and duty which i have aready paid with buffalo logistics and since both these logistics work with you i put a blame on you i want my money within the period of 10 days

Updated by user May 01, 2025

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Items were delivered but very late.

Original review Apr 16, 2025
I placed an order on Shein on March 29, intending to receive items for a special event scheduled for next week. I specifically placed this order early to ensure it arrives timeously.

Initially, the tracking status indicated that the package had arrived in Johannesburg (JNB). However, the status unexpectedly changed to "shipping delayed," with no further updates provided. I have paid customs and since then there have been no updates. I have attached the screenshots as proof of my claim.
Despite multiple attempts to contact Shein's customer service, I have only received generic responses, offering no concrete information about the whereabouts of my package.

Similarly, the local courier has received no further information.
This lack of communication and accountability is extremely frustrating, especially considering the time-sensitive nature of my order. As a regular shopper on Shein, I am disappointed with the service provided and hope that sharing this experience will prompt a resolution.

I placed an order with Shein on March 29, a month in advance, intending to receive items for a special event scheduled for next week. Initially, the tracking status indicated that the package had arrived in Johannesburg (JNB).

However, the status unexpectedly changed to 'shipping delayed,' with no further updates provided. Despite multiple attempts to contact Shein's customer service, I have only received generic responses, offering no concrete information about the whereabouts of my package. Similarly, the South African carrier has received no further updates or information. This lack of communication and accountability is extremely frustrating, especially considering the time-sensitive nature of my order.

Customer service continuously gives me generic feedback that's clearly been copied and pasted.

They also provide the generic tracking that I have full access to, which isn't helpful. As a regular shopper on Shein, I am disappointed with the service provided and hope that sharing this experience will prompt a resolution.

Falsely delivered package

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Shein South Africa - Falsely delivered package

I placed an order with SHEIN and according to the tracking information, it was marked as delivered and signed by someone named K. ATHY at receptionist/front desk.

The problem isI dont have a receptionist or front desk, and I absolutely did not receive this package.

This is beyond frustrating. Ive checked with everyone around me and theres no sign of the delivery. The fact that SHEIN claims the order was delivered is false and misleading. I reached out to them and got no proper help or resolution.

I am demanding a full refund and I am not afraid to take legal action if this is not resolved.

I trusted SHEIN with my money and they failed to deliver. If they dont take this seriously, I will sue them for every single cent.

Failed refund

Shein South Africa - Failed refund

I ordered in 2022 and never received my package. I even paid customs.

When I asked for a refund, I chose the option for them to place the money in my wallet on my Shein account, but they never did that.

I've been wanting to order again; I'm just afraid after that. What if I don't get my parcel again?
