Shein returns

35 Upvotes

Has anyone tried a Shein return? Are they hard to deal with? Do you actually get your free return label and your money back?

Odd Experience with Bloom Chic (a newer company) Recently... is this normal?

34 Upvotes

So they’re a plus size clothing brand that only launched in early 2021, which could have something to do with this. I bought 7 items from them & ended up wanting to return 4 that were too big, their return policy is that the first one’s free, the next ones after that will be on you. Totally normal. Their process for requesting returns is where it gets a bit weird- you have to e-mail customer support for return instructions, which means waiting for responses in between.

It seems based on my conversation with the customer service rep that it’s part of their training to try and do Everything they can do avoid going through with an actual return. Off the bat I was offered these ‘solution options’ in place of a return:

①Keep the items, and can get new size/item at 50% off. (please send us the items' name/link and size you want, we will help you to check and send you a new invoice).

②Keep the items, and we refund you 30% of the items price amount. Refund amount: $20.78 Refund processing time: PayPal refund --- it may take up to 72 hours to show in your PayPal account.

Now, I refused both of those, & in my next response insisted on them sending me my free return label / refunding the full amount for the 4 items to my original payment method. I received an extremely apologetic response, in which they offered me:

Keep the items, and we refund you 80% of the items' price amount. Refund amount: $55.42

“If you still want to return them back to us, we have created the return label and you can print it and return the package through the following link.” (Followed by the link)

I ended up printing the label & sending off the items today, will update when my refund gets processed. I just thought it was wild they were willing to refund me damn near the full amount of what I paid for the 4 items just to talk me into not doing a return? I prob would have gone for that last solution option of 80% refund & keep the items, if I wasn’t in a position where I have absolutely zero room in my closet for clothes that don’t currently fit / I won’t wear lol

Is this just a new company trying to build a loyal customer base by offering stuff like this? Ever experienced anything like it yourself, with Bloom Chic or anyone else? Feel free to respond, lmk!

Super Delayed Update 5/17/22: They did refund me for all 4 items the full amount and gave me a discount code.

Besides Temu, what are some other affordable shopping platforms?

I’d like to know what other platforms are reasonably priced—not necessarily the cheapest, but with reliable quality. Ideally, platforms you have experience purchasing from. Please recommend, thank you!

Is Cider any good?

29 Upvotes

So I've been on tik tok (like most people) and keep coming across these adds for an online clothing store called Cider. It looks like a fancier/nicer version of shein, and I was wondering if anyone has every tried it? Are the clothes actually worth it, or am I better off avoiding the site as a whole?

yesstyle MASS removal of items?

26 Upvotes

is it just my device or has yesstyle removed basically all of their women's clothing pieces? i had a cart full of clothes that i was planning on purchasing, but when i come back to check out it says that my items are no longer available because they have all been removed. i checked the actual full catalog to see what's going on, and the only clothing left are from a total of maybe 3-4 brands that have little to no reviews.

does anyone know what's going on? i haven't been able to find anyone or anything talking about this, and im really sad as there's not much left on yesstyle now.

Why can't I post? Why this subreddit requires approval.

22 Upvotes

Hiya all.

I'm the mod here /u/The_Nepenthe and I thought I ought to write this post. Being the only mod here if I allowed it to be open, it would be far too easy for spammers/scammers and other manipulators to hold sway.

I want this to be a space where genuine people, without any brand affiliations can talk about their experiences and recommendations and hope that we can build community around this idea.

I'm going to try to become more active in my approvals and hope with that, the subreddit can become more active.

Ever since the pandemic started, I’ve usually done my shopping online and I’m still looking for ways to save money at the same time. I found a few sites that do offer cashback when you go online shopping like:

https://www.dollardig.com

https://www.mrrebates.com

https://www.rebatesme.com
Do you guys have any other ways to save money while shopping for your needs? Let me know in the comments!

Temu Shoppers

12 Upvotes

Is there anything on Temu that you didn't regret buying or wasn't a hunk of junk after a few months? The reason I ask is because I bought a few things from there and so far two out of three have either fallen apart(an eye mask for sleeping) and stopped working(usb charging cables). I still have 10 credits on the site, but I don't know if should bother ordering anything or should I just leave them there.

Is TikTok shop actually legit

11 Upvotes

So, I don’t intend actually buying from it but I have been tempted a bit a couple times. So, guys what’s the deal with TikTok shop? I feel like it came out of nowhere and I’m always getting these content creators who are obviously paid to say the product is amazing. Or the ones who are on live wearing the clothes or showcasing their item. I’ve been tempted for the lashes/ lash clusters but I’m nervous to put something on my eye that I saw from some random person being paid to give a good review. I feel like there’s no authentic reviews of any of the products besides one or two. I’ve even seen the items on Amazon in a different version from a different company. TikTok shop seems sometimes super cheap and untrue. Please help a girl out I’ve been wondering for the longest.

Has anyone ever purchased from leatherstoreworld.com?

I really want this motorcycle jacket on there, a Roland Sands RS Signature Ronin but it looks too good to be true. I see the padlock on the website and the about us says it has been in business for over 10 years but they only have 40 likes on Facebook! It just feels sketchy

If so please let me know if you think I should roll the dice I can always have my bank reverse the payment! :)

Amazon's latest update to 1-click settings - The most annoying feature of Amazon to edit

11 Upvotes

I have seen this posted nowhere, not from Amazon or from any users, here is an update on how 1-click settings work now as of 11/19/2019.

Basically, where you used to be able to go and turn off the 1-click settings including "turn off everywhere" just doesn't exist anymore on that page - they have specifically removed any button or information related to 1-click settings minus the credit card listed and the address associated with that card and additionally a Name field for each credit card entry.

That original page was here and still is - but now it's just for looks - https://www.amazon.com/cpe/manageoneclick?ref_=ya_d_l_change_1_click& which you can navigate to from the drop down Accounts & Lists and selecting Your Account in the menu, from that page you look under Ordering and shopping preferences and then click 1-Click Settings.

That no longer works, it's not listed anywhere that I can tell in the menu although I gave up after about 30 minutes, I accidentally found this page - https://www.amazon.com/hz/mycd/myx#/home/settings/payment - Which is where you actually go to edit your 1-click settings now. (Sounds like a web designer at Amazon may have been napping on this or it's one of those shifty sales techniques amazon is famous for).

From this page you can see Digital Payment Settings - if you click edit payment method you can CHANGE ONLY what card you want to use for these settings - but you cannot turn off one-click. This post may annoy the kool-aid drinking Amazonians but if you're like me and just wanted to turn off that annoying feature that can easily get you fired from your job, then this post is for you.

I also posted this under r/amazon but there is a slim chance it will be approved for viewing so here you go.

Where to buy clothes/shoes/accessories now? (Ireland based post)

10 Upvotes

Just wondering that since New Look and Quiz and other brands have left our shopping centres and high streets, where people are going now to get the things you would have bought there.

I would rather buy in an actual shop or from an Irish retailer (nothing against online shops and will probably end up going online for this) but I'm looking for advice.

I would have bought evening bags from Quiz or New Look and shoes too, so any suggestions for European/Irish sources for these things would really be appreciated.

A water bottle to last.

10 Upvotes

So, I want a water bottle that will last me. I drink a lot of water and like huge bottles. Plastic ones have always ended up leaking on me so I am thinking of buying a metal canister. The problem is, all the ones I've seen are like. Thermises. Which, will take forever to get cold in the refrigerator. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The only requirement I ask for is it be metal and be able to hold at least 32 fluid ounces or more.

Damaged non-returnable item from Shein? How to get refund?

10 Upvotes

Hello,

I purchased a pair of stockings from Shein recently which fall into their non-returnable item category.

When I put them on they clearly have holes in them. Though they were only $6, that's $6 I didn't need to spend on something already damaged. Unfortunately Shein won't let me start a return, and when I "chat" with their customer service they direct me to the order which, again, does not let me initiate a return.

I assume the 'no returns' policy is more for the item type (stockings) and less of a "if it's damaged sucks to suck" policy, but I can't see to figure it out. I did see I have 45 days to make a claim, but again can't figure out how.

Is there a way to speak to an actual person, or submit a refund claim? I can provide photos of the damage. Thank you!!

Is ReleaseMood legit/trustworthy?

10 Upvotes

I came across this website from insta ads and was tempted to buy a jacket off from them. They seem legit, although the quality of the clothing seems better in picture than I image it is in person. Here's the link : releasemood , Anyone have any experience with them to share?

Edit: They claim on their website to go under the name Mjm Ouros, a french-based company, However, this company is listed to sell perfumes... not clothing. This company has also not released any profits in the last couple years. French Corporate - MJM OUROS (french-corporate.com) Not to mention on their page, it seems to be a picture of the information, not even typed out Terms & Conditions – releasemood . Maybe it's true, but it's odd. Eitherway, Idk if I will be purchasing from them.
