Autonomous educational resource — Drafted from public details found in Shein’s Help Center. We have no commercial relationship with Shein. Participation involves selection and approval is never guaranteed. Always review official program policies.
If you have ever explored the Free Trial section and found the process confusing — you are not alone. Navigation becomes simple once you understand the necessary order of actions.
Below is a practical summary of how users submit entries, track updates, and provide feedback. Getting chosen is never guaranteed, but adhering to valid parameters helps avoid typical errors that reject requests early.
1
Access the Free Trial Hub
Sign into your Shein account. Within the mobile app, head to your profile → More Tools (or Extra Features) → Free Trial Hub. On desktop browsers, locate Free Trial under community options.
Review available product samples. Listings update frequently, so current items may change over time.

2
Enter up to 3 candidate requests weekly
You are allocated 3 application attempts per week. Unused allowances expire weekly and do not carry forward.
When you find an available item you wish to evaluate:
- Tap Request Trial on the listing
- Select your suitable size
- Select a delivery address corresponding to the regional site region you are browsing
- Select Submit Entry
Note: If your shipping country differs from the regional site domain, the entry will fail. Verify this detail before finalizing.

Track progress under My Application Records
Review periods generally span around 7 days. Visit My Applications to check current updates:
- Approved — your candidate entry was selected. A zero-cost order is generated and dispatched automatically.
- Unsuccessful — that candidate application was not selected. You may re-apply for new items during future updates.

Inspect the sample and publish your review
If you are selected and the package arrives, evaluate its fit, stitching, textile quality, and design details.
Then post an honest, detailed review through your portal account — preferably within 10 days of receiving it. Monitor it under My Report.
Helpful review practices:
- Constructive pros and cons (avoid purely praise-based statements)
- Clear photographs — including full-length shots and close-ups
- Specific observations on comfort, fabric feel, and sizing accuracy
Feedback upload page
Points system: An accepted feedback submission grants roughly 20 account points. A Quality Report designation can yield up to 100 extra points.
If a submission is initially rejected, you are generally allowed one opportunity to edit and resubmit.
Essential policies to keep in mind
• Limit of 3 submissions per week (allowances reset and do not roll over)
• Destination country must match the platform’s regional store page
• Delivery costs are paid by Shein; import fees may apply depending on location laws
• Aim to publish your evaluation within 10 days post-delivery
• Multiple profile registrations can lead to platform restrictions
• Neglecting review duties reduces future candidate eligibility
Frequent errors that block approval
❌ Incomplete profile settings or wrong size selections
❌ Shipping address registered in a country different from the website region
❌ Requesting items late after slots for popular items have closed
❌ Generic, brief reviews missing actual photo attachments
❌ Exceeding the review deadline
❌ Setting up alternate accounts to gain additional entries
Frequently asked questions
Is delivery covered?
Standard delivery fees are typically covered by Shein. Depending on your region, local customs charges may still apply.
How many requests can I enter?
Up to 3 per week. Unused attempts reset and do not carry over.
Do selected users keep the products?
Yes. If selected, participants retain the trial item once the required review is posted.
When are candidate updates announced?
Evaluation usually takes about one week. Check My Applications to view Approved or Unsuccessful status.
What happens if my report is rejected?
You are generally permitted one extra attempt to modify and resubmit. Ensure you meet image and detail requirements.
Is a large social audience required?
No. Thorough feedback quality and steady platform interaction matter far more than follower counts.
To summarize: open the Free Trial Hub → apply for options (max 3/week) → check selection status → if selected, test the product → post detailed feedback with photographs. Keep account details up to date, apply early when catalog items renew, and fulfill your review step.
