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:
Logging in to your SHEIN account
Going to “My Orders”
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.
