What is Shein’s Free Trial Program?

PDF download Download Article
  1. Free Trial gives customers a chance to try out new clothing or items for free and post a detailed review of what they receive, including the quality, fit, size, style, fabric, and construction. You get to keep the item afterward, and customers get an honest review before they buy the same product. [1]
    • There’s no downside to Shein’s Free Trial program—although Shein doesn’t pay testers in cash, getting free items may be worth clicking the “Free Trial” button.
    • You can also become an “unofficial” tester by becoming an influencer and advertising your Shein purchases through Instagram, Pinterest, or YouTube.

  1. If you don’t already have a Shein account, you can register at their website . All active Shein accounts are eligible for the Shein free trial, but you must be 18 years or older to participate. You’re eligible to apply for 3 Free Trial items per week. [2]
    • You can’t use a fake account or multiple accounts to try to increase your chances—Shein may have your trial canceled and have you banned from participating in the future.
  2. Sign into your valid Shein account and click on “More Services” in your “Personal Center.” Go to “Other Services” and click on “Free Trial Center.” Click on the “Free Trial” button on any item you’d like to try. When the pop-up opens, pick the size you want (if applicable) and fill in your address. Then hit “Submit.” [3]
    • Once you’ve applied for an item, you can’t cancel it and apply for something else.
  3. Shein will also send you a push notification through their app. The second Tuesday after applying, you can also check if your product’s status under “My Applications” shows as “Approved.” If you haven’t received your order within 30 days, contact Shein’s customer service . [4]
    • If the item you applied for was detained by customs during the shipping process, you’re responsible for paying the tariff. However, this rarely happens and the amount you pay depends on where you got the item, where it was made, and what it is made of. [5]
    • If you didn’t get selected to participate, the status of the product you selected under “My Applications” will show as “Failed.” But if you’re not selected that week, you can always apply the following week.
  4. Write a review using your Shein account for the item that was sent to you by clicking on the item under “My Applications,” scrolling to the bottom, and typing out your review. They ask for a detailed, honest review and will give you questions to answer about the texture, material, and overall product quality. They also ask that you submit a picture of the item. [6]
    • You can earn extra Shein points by meeting the 75-500 word count (+5 points), uploading 3 clear images (+10 points), and entering all the necessary sizing information (+2 points).
    • If your review is rated “High Quality” after you post it, you may be awarded an additional 100 Shein points.

How are winners chosen?

  1. The system is random, but it takes into account whether the customer is a potential buyer, how much they’ve purchased in the past, and their performance with any reports they’ve filled with the Free Trial program in the past. [7]
    • The odds of you being chosen also depend on the number of applicants who have submitted for a certain item.

Avoiding Scams

  1. When submitting your account to one of the items you would like to try, make sure that you do so on the official Shein Google or Play Store app or on their official Free Trial page . Here are some common Shein website scams to watch out for: [8]
    • Make sure that the domain name matches Shein’s official website. The real Shein website will say https://us.shein.com/ in the web address. This is a scam URL example: https://m.shein.com/
    • Check for a legitimate contact page with the company’s address and employee information. Most scam sites will not have one.
    • Watch for prices that are 50% lower than Shein’s on-site pricing—extreme discounts or “free” items are always suspicious.
    • Shein only uses email and in-site chat for customer service, so don’t share any personal/payment information through a phone call, text message, or WhatsApp.
