What country is SHEIN from?
Even on their official website, they don’t say openly that the material is being produced in China. But 99% of their products are tagged “Made in China”. So we can assume that Shein is manufactured in China. Although, they cover a large market in Europe, Asia, America, and the Middle East.
Is SHEIN available in Dubai?
Does Shein have a store in Dubai?
No. But they do deliver in Dubai & all over UAE.
And quite often they used to open a pop-up store in different locations in UAE before Covid, which would be there for a day only. The information about their future pop-up stores will be available on their Shein app and they keep updating on their official social media pages too. They have different social media for different regions. For Shein UAE you will have to check out Shein Middle East’s social media channels.

Where is SHEIN Located?
Shein doesn’t have a store as yet. Probably that is one of the reasons for it selling cheap fashion products. Since operating in stores costs a lot including rents, hiring employees, electricity etcetera. But they deliver in more than 220 countries around the globe.
Is SHEIN Legit?
Based on my personal experiences of placing more than 10 orders, I can safely say SHEIN UAE is reliable. I specifically talk about Shein UAE because I have placed and received all my orders in Dubai.
If I were specific, in 4 years, I placed almost 10-11 orders on Shein through their app and all of them were delivered safely to my doorstep.
Often people ask me if Shein is safe for Debit cards or credit cards? The answer is yes.
I have been buying from Shein for over 4 years now and I have never had any issues related to my debit or credit cards. It always has been safe paying upfront using my debit and credit card.
What happens when you cancel your order?
In a recent incident, I placed an order and added one item twice by mistake. After I contacted customer service, they cancelled that extra added item immediately and I received the refund within the same hour.
I often cancel my orders after paying upfront and receive back the money within 3-4 days or less. So, I can safely say that my experience money-wise has always been smooth.
How long does shein take to ship?
For UAE customers, Shein delivers in a minimum of 7-8 days. It also depends on the courier service they’ve used to send you a package. My parcels come through different local courier services every time. But whenever it’s sent through Aramex, it takes around 7 days.
They are equally efficient in taking back the return items and refunding you the amount of the returned item.

This tracking summary is of my orders on Shein. In some orders, it mentions Hongkong as the location of the warehouse and in other instances, it would only mention China. But all of my orders have been sent from China.
I have placed a total of 11 orders on Shein that got delivered to my Dubai address. To see a detailed review which talks about quality, sizes, Do’s and Don’ts of my all orders on Shein, check my other article SHEIN REVIEWS.

My Funny Incident about Shein Delivery
In one instance, I had to leave for my vacation and my Shein parcel was still not delivered. It was my mistake that I didn’t place the order on time and as per my calculations, Shein takes approximately 8 days to deliver a package to your doorstep in Dubai. It was the 8th day and my flight day, so I had to contact Shein to know more details about my package, like where it was reached, when I could receive it, and so on.
The agent on the helpline on their app gave me the contact of their local delivery partners. Which was Fetcher (A delivery service provider in UAE). I contacted Fetcher and got to know that my parcel has been received in their warehouse but the delivery is not assigned yet.
I requested them to tell me the address of their warehouse so I can pick my parcel on my way to the airport. It was a tense moment as I was not promised that I can find the parcel in the warehouse or will be allowed to collect it myself.
However, I reached the warehouse of Fetcher almost an hour before their closing time. And I requested the manager to search for my parcel among their thousand other parcels lying on the floor in their warehouse.
It was too difficult to look for one parcel among thousands of others. It seemed like they received those packages a few hours back and haven’t sorted them out yet. The tension was rising as I had to reach the airport on time. Meanwhile, I was pleading with the manager to help us find my parcel. To add to my stress, it was almost their closing time too.
Sometimes, ordering clothes online becomes an adventure too.
After a few minutes of panic and anxiety attacks, one of their employees was able to find my parcel within fifteen to 20 minutes, aahh the sigh of relief. And I was able to make it to their airport in time along with the clothes I ordered from Shein for my Vacation YAY 😀
The funny thing is, those were all the clothes I had to carry with me for the holidays. Can you imagine going out on vacations with no clothes? 😀
