  1. If you paid for the canceled order with a Shein gift card or your Shein wallet, the refund process is quick. You will receive an email when the refund has been processed. The order’s balance will be reflected in your Shein Wallet or on your Shein gift card’s balance. [7]

    • If you used PayPal to make your purchase, it will take 1-5 business days to receive a refund for your canceled Shein order.
    • If you used a credit or debit card to make your purchase, it will take between 1-15 business days to receive your refund from Shein.
  3. If you used Points to make an order and canceled it, the Points you spent will be credited back to your Points balance. [10] Points expiration dates still apply—don’t forget to use them in time!
  4. After 15 business days have passed, if your canceled order amount has not yet been refunded, you should reach out to your bank to inquire about its status. [11]

Why might your refund be less than the original purchase?

PDF download Download Article
  1. When you receive a refund for a Shein order you canceled, your bank may charge you a commission fee. Additionally, the currency exchange rate could have changed since purchasing, which will impact the refund amount for international orders. [12]
    • For Shein orders that were shipped and returned—instead of being canceled—the refund amount will be less than the purchase amount because the original shipping fee is non-refundable.
