    I've seen a few things I'd love but I'm unsure as I'd never heard of it and it's in China.

    For anyone who's used the site, does it take ages to arrive and whats the sizing like?

    I ordered a few things - tops for work. Ordered my normal size and they are great. Took a few weeks to arrive but hey ho
    My daughter said some of her friends order from there and the dresses are a bit cheap fabric but the tops I got are for work and I love them. Going to put another order in this week

    I've only ordered once and went through each items sizes by cm measurements and looked at the stretch of the material.
    I was really happy with my stuff but I was nervous about it coming from china and ordered a bit bigger than I needed.Totally unnecessary.
    Got my 15 year old niece a few crop tops and she's delighted to be "on trend" but none of her friends have the exact same.

    I've about 13 dollars in credit from checking in on the app and reviewing items so I think I'll treat myself to a few bits at the end of the month because its my birthday.

    A few dodgy youtube reviews made me nervous but I'm going to give it a try:) Let me know how you get on!

    I've ordered a few times.

    First order was some tops and a dress. The tops were fine, perfect fit in my normal size. The dress, I checked the measurements on and had to size up based on the chart (different measurements for different items) but once you follow each size guide, it's fine. That particular dress was surprisingly great quality, thick heavy material (jumper kind of dress).

    Another order I received the other day. The dress I got was a perfect fit, but poor quality, I'll be sending it to a charity shop. It's Wish quality. And a t-shirt dress I got is Penneys quality (and price, so that's fine) but too big so I'll need to belt it, but I love it.

    Shein doesn't have great recommendations that I can find. Have you shopped at buviz.com?

    I have not bought it on shein, but I has bought wholesale clothing from other Chinese supplier Nihaojewelry. The delivery speed is not as slow as I thought. I think shein should be similar.

    I ordered and it took about 2 weeks which I had no problem with as it stated that when ordering, I got 2 cardis, very happy with them, read the reviews as they're very detailed and lots of people post photos on them.
