How Long Does SHEIN Take to Deliver in the UK?

SHEIN delivery to the UK typically takes 7 to 10 working days, depending on the shipping method you choose at checkout. Delivery time can vary based on your location, what you’ve ordered, and customs clearance (since most items ship from overseas).

Although SHEIN is a China-based company, it has become well-known in the UK for offering low-cost fashion with fairly reliable delivery — provided you’re not in a massive rush.

SHEIN UK Delivery Options


SHEIN usually offers two main types of shipping:

1. Standard Shipping

  • Estimated delivery time: 7–10 working days

  • Cost: Free on orders over a certain amount (usually £35+), or approx. £1.99–£3.99 if under

  • This is the most common option for UK customers

2. Express Shipping

  • Estimated delivery time: 5–7 working days

  • Cost: Usually around £12.00

  • Not available for all areas or during certain promotional periods

Delivery times start after the order is processed, which usually takes 1–3 days, so total wait time can be up to 14 calendar days.

What Affects SHEIN Delivery Times?


Several factors can affect how quickly your SHEIN order arrives:

  • Order processing time (1–3 days)

  • Warehouse location — most items are shipped from China or other international fulfilment centres

  • Customs clearance

  • Time of year — delays are more likely around sales (e.g. Black Friday), bank holidays, or Christmas

  • Item availability — mixed orders might ship in separate parcels


Can You Track Your SHEIN Order?


Yes. Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number. You can track your order by:

  1. Logging in to your SHEIN account

  2. Going to “My Orders”

  3. Clicking “Track” next to the relevant order

You’ll see updates like “Order Shipped”, “Arrived in Destination Country”, and “Out for Delivery”.

Delivery Partners in the UK


SHEIN typically uses Evri (Hermes), Yodel, or Royal Mail for last-mile delivery in the UK. If you miss a delivery, you can usually rearrange it or collect from a local parcel shop.

Final Thought


SHEIN orders to the UK usually arrive within 7–10 working days, but sometimes faster with express shipping. Delays can happen — especially during busy periods — but tracking your order and planning ahead can help avoid disappointment. If you need something urgently, SHEIN may not always be your best bet, but for budget-friendly fashion, it’s usually reliable.
