· Free Trial Introduction
1. The overall introduction
1.1 What is SHEIN Free Trial?
It's a fun platform for our customers to try out new clothes for free and post honest and accurate reviews of these clothes. You’ll have a chance to receive free clothes if selected, and we ask that you post a detailed review about the overall experience of the clothing item you receive, including quality, style, fit, fabric, and construction. This helps our customers see detailed personal reviews from other fellow customers. Everybody wins!
1.2 Review
If selected by SHEIN to participate in our Free Trial Program, you will receive the clothing item that you chose. We ask that you then submit a detailed review on the item sent to you within 10 days of receiving it. Reviewers can have the product in hand, feel the texture, see the fit, and know what it feels like to wear the garment. Item reviews will offer comments on the material, texture, overall product quality, complete with photos and a detailed description.
