Time to Shine with SHEIN

Definitely, a favorite shopping destination to our members, Team MyMalls had to see for ourselves what the fuss is all about. And we were pleasantly surprised to learn that SHEIN isn’t only home to fashion products, but they also have a great home goods selection, a wide range of beauty care items and the cutest pet supplies!

The Real Deal

The retailer also launched their premium line, MOTF, last June; an elevated collection made from higher quality materials. In other words, SHEIN now offers premium clothes at an affordable price. Still, our MyMalls team found SHEIN's Curve + Plus department to be the real showstopper. They have been busting down doors in order for plus size and curvy shoppers to have access to fashion trends that are otherwise not accessible to them.

Fast Fashion Industry

When it comes to fast fashion, the concept is all about super trendy merchandise at the lowest possible price. However, this also means inconsistencies when it comes to manufacturing and sizing in particular. Unfortunately, SHEIN is no different. Just like other big name stores, their clothes can be a hit-or-miss in terms of quality. Therefore, we have asked our colleagues at MyMalls to do some reckon in order to help our members increase their chances in finding that special item. We have complied a few tips for shopping @shein.com for you:

1. Reviews are your best friend

When it comes to finding the right size for you, reviews are your best friend! First thing, check the sizing chart for the item you are considering. Then look up the reviews, especially the ones with photos. In addition to sharing their overall thoughts on a purchase, customers can share their measurements and the fit quality. This way you can get an idea of what something will look like when you wear it.

2. Measure yourself. Then measure again!

Never assume you know your size at an online store. So, go get the tape out and measure it against your body. The key is to measure twice, so you only have to order once! The girls here at MyMalls have also discovered a great hack: measure your own clothing! Sometimes a tape measure does not give you the best idea of fit; so if you really want to be sure, measure your wardrobe then compare. Now that you have done all your measuring, make sure there is enough room in the waist, chest, and shoulders so you can look good as well as breathe easily. Lastly, if you are unsure about sizing or measurement then size up! More often than not, sizes only differ 1 to 2 centimeters.

3. Keep an eye out for promo codes

SHEIN frequently offers markdowns and discount codes for special events such as the holidays. Customers can also earn points when they sign up for an account or when making an online purchase through their app. SHEIN is shop ‘till you drop made easy.

4. Shipping

Keep an eye out for free shipping promos; though, SHEIN’s clothes are already heavily discounted. Shoppers only pay for shipping on orders under $49; anything above is free! With factories all over the world, orders are shipped by China Post; then fulfilled by USPS and FedEx. Standard shipping is $3.99 and takes about 2-3 weeks. Express shipping costs $12.90 with a duration of about 1-2 weeks. Keep in mind, there is an additional processing period that can take up to 3 days. We have to mention this to be on the cautious side, but truth be told, we have seen more early deliveries coming through MyMalls’ warehouse than not.
