When to shop on SHEIN: sales, seasons and timing

Everyone wants to know the best time to shop, but the honest answer is that offers change often and I can't promise any exact dates. What I can do is share a few habits that help you buy at a better time.

Offers that repeat each month

Two offers come around regularly. SHEIN offers free shipping every Sunday, and from the 20th of each month new customers can get 60% off by registering a new account, using the new-user code and shopping with that account. If you already have an account, you may not qualify for the new-user offer. Conditions can differ by country, so check the details at checkout.

Watch the big sale periods

Stores usually run bigger offers around major shopping periods such as Black Friday and end-of-season sales. Check the store's own page for what's on, and remember that the terms can differ by country.

Promo codes change often

Codes are usually updated regularly and some end without warning. That's why we update our list every month. If a code stops working, see why promo codes fail.

Shop a little out of season

Winter clothes are often easier to find at a better price when the weather is warming up, and the same goes for summer items in autumn. If you can plan ahead, you may get more for your money.

Use your cart as a waiting room

If you see something you like, add it to your cart and leave it for a day or two. If you still want it later, buy it. If you've forgotten about it, you just saved some money.

Compare the price with and without the code

Always look at the total before and after applying a code. Sometimes an item's own sale price is better than the code, and you don't want to miss that.

Don't let a countdown rush you

Timers and "limited time" labels are designed to make you hurry. Take a minute to check your size, the reviews and the final price first. Our guide on shopping on SHEIN without regrets has a handy checklist.
