· Introduction to the Free Trial Center

1. General Introduction

1.1 Free Trial

The free trial platform is a way through which SHEIN customers can try our products and share their opinions about them. SHEIN members will get a free item if they write a review about why they like the item, what style it has, etc. This can help other customers when deciding whether to buy the item.

1.2 Trial Report

If selected to participate in our program, the SHEIN customer must write a review about the item received. The trial program is a real experience that allows customers to see the reality of our products. With this experience, users can touch the product, see its texture, see how it fits, and know how it feels to wear the received item. A good trial report should include references to the material, texture and quality, as well as photos and a detailed description. All reports that pass our inspection will be marked as "Quality Report" and will be rewarded with points.

2. Full Process

1. Click on "free sample" to select a free item, the status will show "reviewing" within "my application".

2. After each application is reviewed, the winners will be announced in the free sample section.

3. If you have not won, the status of the selected item will be "review failed".

4. If you have won, the status of the selected item will be "review approved", and it will be sent to the address you have provided us.

5. Customer Conduct Rules

5.1 Once the item has been requested, the system will generate the order to ship it as soon as possible. Before requesting the item, make sure to correctly select the size, shipping address, and other information. Second shipments will not be made due to user errors, and the user will be responsible for lost items.

5.2 Please submit a review within 10 days of receiving the item. If you do not meet this requirement, it will affect future trial applications. Reviews must include a full-body photo and two detail photos of the item. If the review does not meet our requirements, you will not be selected again for trial reports. If you do not receive your product within more than 30 days, please contact SHEIN Customer Service

5.3 It is strictly forbidden to use a fake account to apply for free trial products. If any fake account is detected, the trial products will be automatically canceled, will not be shipped, and the accounts will be removed from the members list. They will also be banned from future trials.

5.4. Customers who use stolen or inappropriate photos will have their report deleted and marked as inappropriate. These practices are completely prohibited, so the user will be removed from the trial program.

5.5 If the trial report is not approved after being submitted, the customer will have a second opportunity to submit another report. Please make sure to resubmit the report in accordance with the established rules.

6. How is the selection made?

The selection is carried out with an automatic control system. Our system takes into account the user's activity level in previous trials. The system also considers purchase potential, purchase quantity, and the quality level of previous reports. This is a selection process that directly eliminates stolen accounts or short-term members who have not made purchases for a long time.

7. Report Quality Requirements

A quality report will contain the customer's opinions and describe the pros and cons of the received item. Logically, it cannot contain only negative opinions; it must also include the positive aspects.
