Complain about online work that has not paid

Shein South Africa - Complain about online work that has not paid

I joined as a part-time agent on the website and on Telegram, I was assigned to Dora as a mentor. I agreed to take the A level and paid R550 to join.

Then, I was given orders. Before completing the orders, I had to top up with R1910. Dora promised that I will be able to withdraw after that, but again, it required a top-up. I did that with R2700.

In the end, I ended up topping up with R8700, with no withdrawal. Now, it requires another top up of R11300. This is not acceptable.

I don't have the money and need my money today. Please help.

At least if I can manage to reach out to any of you, in fact, I'm so in love with your brand that I've bought some items quite a few times. Now, I'm considering running a franchise here in South Africa on your behalf.

I'm ready to take on the responsibility of looking after each and every item you provide, and to ensure that the business is also profitable for you. Thank you.

Shein South Africa - Order tracking not updating
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives
Updated by user Dec 03, 2024

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Shein delivered my parcel after almost a month of waiting, and a few automated apologies

Original review Nov 18, 2024

I ordered from Shein on the 2nd of November. I waited for my order and paid customs.

To this day, my order has been stuck on flight delays and no further information has been provided by Shein and Imile deliveries.

My status stopped updating on the 11th of November and today is the 18th, yet there are still no updates. I am disappointed with Shein and their choice of delivery services, especially Imile, after paying such huge amounts of money for customs.

My order was marked for delivery almost two days ago. However, its status has since been changed to delivery attempt failure due to a protest demonstration.

Since then, there has been no movement with my order. What is happening?

I received my parcel, but two items were missing. I tried to email them but got a no-reply.

They sent links and when I pressed them, it kept saying 'service error' until I called. Then, the number was busy.

I ordered from Shein and received my order with missing items. I notified them and now they claim they did send it.

So, do I have to lose R500 now because they don't want to simply give me what I paid for? I took pictures of everything I received and the packaging was damaged. I also took pictures. At first, I only noticed the missing LCD lights, but afterwards, I saw that there were like 5 things missing.

All I want are the items I paid for.

I'm not someone who wants extra things. I only want what I paid for as these are Christmas gifts.

I’m very unhappy with how Customer Support is treating me after I’ve been a customer of them for years. They did not even address my concerns and just send me an automated response. Worst support ever

Shein South Africa - I’m very unhappy with how Customer Support is treating me... - Image 2

I want to inquire about why my address is temporary unavailable for express shipping, because its an order of $553 and that automatically means I have to qualify for express shipping yet standard shipping is available to me and I have delivered to my address countless times in the past few years, so I really just wanna know why it is not available to me and if they could fix the issue before I put in this order. Because honestly they took 24 hours to respond with an automated response that didnt even address my issue was completely unrelated to my concerns. Its clear that we are just walking to these people and they couldnt care less about their customers.

View full review

User's recommendation: if possible, avoid at all costs. There’s just too many downsides and it may look like you’re not paying a lot for what you get but honestly they make up for that with import costs and duties, which I know doesn’t go to (SHEIN) but it’s still money coming out of your pocket for the purchase. And it really adds up. I strongly discourage supporting their economy and their company because they couldn’t care less about you as a customer. You’re a walking wallet

Then order from within your country. No one is forcing you to order from them and pay import costs and duties.

Their site shows standard shipping 8-12 business days and express is 7-10 business days.

If you placed your order today, it could take till February 24 for express and February 26 for standard. By express not being available to you, is two days really worth all the noise you are making?
