Independent Information Guide: This page is based on publicly available information about the SHEIN Free Trial Center. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or commercially connected to SHEIN. Participation and product selection are not guaranteed. Program availability, products, eligibility requirements, and rules may change over time or vary by region.

What Happens After You Apply?

Submitting a Free Trial application does not automatically mean you will be selected. According to SHEIN's current program information, participants are chosen randomly through an automated system, and the likelihood of being selected depends in part on how many people apply for a particular item.

What you can control is the accuracy of your application. Before submitting, check your available weekly opportunities, selected size, delivery address, and the regional SHEIN site you are currently using.

Overview of the Free Trial Program

The Free Trial Center is an official SHEIN program where eligible users can apply for the chance to receive selected clothing items without paying for the product. Participants who are selected are asked to provide an honest, accurate, and detailed review after receiving the item.

The purpose of these reviews is to give other shoppers more information about factors such as fit, fabric, construction, quality, and overall experience with the product.

What Can You Find in the Free Trial Center?

The products displayed depend on what is currently available for Free Trial applications. SHEIN's U.S. program documentation currently describes the Free Trial Center primarily around clothing items.

Specific products, sizes, availability, and trial opportunities can change between application cycles, so users should always check the current Free Trial Center directly for the latest options.

Before You Apply, Check These Details:

• Weekly opportunities: Users can apply for up to three Free Trial items per week.

• Regional site: Your delivery address needs to match the country of the SHEIN site you are currently using.

• Correct size: Check the selected size before submitting because it cannot be changed after the order has been generated.

• Accurate address: Confirm your delivery information carefully before submitting your application.

1

Access the Free Trial Center

Sign in to your SHEIN account through the app or website. According to the current U.S. instructions, the account navigation path is: Personal Center → More Services → Other Services → Free Trial Center. From there, you can browse the products currently available for Free Trial applications.

Navigation route to the Free Trial Center inside the account menu.

2

Choose Up to 3 Free Trial Items per Week

Eligible users currently receive up to three Free Trial application opportunities per week. These opportunities do not accumulate. Select the item you want, click Free Trial, choose your size, confirm your Trial Delivery address, and submit the application.

Your delivery address must correspond to the country of the SHEIN site you are using. If the countries do not match, the application cannot be submitted.

Check your size and delivery information carefully before submitting.

3

Track Your Application Status

After submitting, the application appears as Pending under My Applications. SHEIN states that processing takes approximately one week.

If you are selected, the status changes to Approved and the Free Trial item is sent to the address you provided. If you are not selected for that item, the application shows as Failed.

Application status can be followed through the My Free Trial area.

4

Submit an Honest and Detailed Review

After receiving a selected Free Trial item, SHEIN asks participants to try it and evaluate characteristics such as quality, style, fit, fabric, and construction.

The review should be honest, accurate, and detailed and should be submitted with photos through your account, ideally within 10 days of receiving the item. SHEIN also asks that Free Trial reviews include a full-body photo and detailed photos of the product.

Check My Report and SHEIN Points

After submitting your review, you can check its status in My Report. Under the current U.S. program rules, a review that satisfies the applicable length requirements and Review Guidance can receive 20 SHEIN Points.

If the review is rated as a Quality Review, an additional 100 SHEIN Points may be awarded. These rewards are part of the review program and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of selection for future Free Trials.

Use My Report to monitor the status of submitted reviews.

6

Check Whether a Review Can Be Revised

If a submitted review does not meet the requirements, check My Report to see whether a revision option has been made available.

SHEIN's current U.S. guidance states that, at its discretion, participants may receive one additional opportunity to amend and resubmit an initial review that does not meet the requirements or fails to upload correctly.

My Report may display an option to revise a review when available.

What Does SHEIN Recommend for a Quality Review?

SHEIN's current Quality Review guidance emphasizes useful, original, and balanced feedback:

• Explain both positive and negative aspects of the item when relevant.

• Discuss useful details such as quality, fit, fabric, construction, and overall experience.

• Use your own clear photos rather than website images or photos belonging to other customers.

• Keep the written review thorough but concise and include information that would be useful to another shopper.

• SHEIN currently recommends several clear photos showing the full item, product details, and how the item is worn or styled.

Points: An eligible review that meets the applicable requirements can receive 20 SHEIN Points. Reviews rated as a Quality Review can receive an additional 100 SHEIN Points.

Application and Review Issues to Avoid

A few mistakes can prevent an application from being submitted correctly or create problems later in the process:

❌ Using a delivery address from a different country than the regional SHEIN site

❌ Submitting the wrong size or address without checking the information first

❌ Creating multiple or fake accounts to obtain additional Free Trial opportunities

❌ Using plagiarized, stolen, fake, or inappropriate photos in a Free Trial review

❌ Submitting a review that does not follow the applicable program and Review Guidance requirements

❌ Forgetting to check whether a revision option is available when a submitted review needs changes

How Are Participants Selected?

SHEIN states that Free Trial participants are selected randomly through its automated system. The odds of being selected depend on the number of applicants for the particular item.

The company's FAQ also notes that account and Free Trial participation integrity history may be considered. There is no application timing strategy or specific action that guarantees selection.

Important Guidelines to Keep in Mind

• Eligible users can currently apply for up to three Free Trial items per week, and unused opportunities do not accumulate.

• The delivery address must correspond to the country of the SHEIN site being used.

• The U.S. program currently requires participants to be at least 18 years old and have an eligible SHEIN User Account.

• SHEIN covers Free Trial shipping fees, although customs duties or tariffs may still be the participant's responsibility when applicable.

• Reviews should be submitted within the program's specified timeframe after the item is received.

• Size and delivery information cannot be changed after the Free Trial order has been generated.

• Multiple or fake accounts must not be used to obtain additional Free Trial products.

• Always check the current official rules because eligibility and program conditions may be updated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I have to pay shipping fees?

SHEIN states that Free Trial shipping fees are covered. However, customs duties or tariffs may still be the participant's responsibility when applicable.

How many Free Trial applications can I submit?

Eligible users can currently apply up to three times per week. SHEIN states that these opportunities do not accumulate.

What happens if my review does not meet the requirements?

Check My Report for the current status. According to SHEIN's U.S. guidance, the company may, at its discretion, provide one additional opportunity to amend and resubmit an initial review.

Can I keep the Free Trial product?

Yes. SHEIN's current U.S. FAQ states that participants selected for a Free Trial can keep the item as a thank-you for participating.

Is there a way to guarantee that I will be selected?

No. SHEIN states that participants are selected randomly through its automated system. The number of applicants for a particular item affects the odds of selection, and approval is never guaranteed.

The most useful approach is to follow the official requirements carefully: confirm your size and address, use the correct regional site, monitor your application status, and provide an honest and detailed review if you are selected. None of these steps guarantees selection, but they help ensure that your participation follows the program rules.
