Independent informational manual — Based on publicly accessible documentation from Shein’s Sample Hub. We maintain no affiliation with Shein. Participation is competitive and candidate approval is never guaranteed. Always review the official terms of each campaign.
If you have ever navigated to the Sample Testing area without knowing how to proceed — this summary is for you. The procedure becomes simple once you understand the necessary order of operations.
Below is an overview detailing how users submit requests, monitor status updates, and provide feedback. Selection is never guaranteed, but following the established steps helps lower the risk of common submission errors.
1
Navigate to the Sample Hub
Sign in to your registered Shein profile. On the mobile app, head to your user menu → More Services → Free Trial Center. On desktop browsers, locate the sample portal under the primary services tab.
Explore the active listings. Featured items rotate regularly, meaning current offers might change by next week.

Enter up to 3 application slots weekly
Users receive a maximum of 3 submission entries per week. Unused slots do not roll over to subsequent periods.
When you locate an item you wish to test:
- Select Free Trial under the item
- Pick your appropriate sizing option
- Verify a delivery address situated in the same region as the storefront site you are using
- Click Submit
Note: Mismatches between your delivery location and regional site settings may cause submission failure. Confirm this prior to sending.

Monitor application status in your dashboard
Review processing generally takes about one week. Access your My Applications dashboard to track updates:
- Approved — your entry was chosen. An order is generated at $0 balance and dispatched automatically.
- Failed — that specific request was not selected. You can reapply for other items when upcoming batches open.

Evaluate the item and write your feedback
If selected, once the package arrives, test it and assess overall quality, cut, comfort, fabric texture, and finishing details.
Publish a thorough, honest evaluation via your account — typically within 10 days of receiving it. Track submission status in your account history.
Effective reviews usually feature:
- Balanced observations regarding strengths and flaws
- Clear photographs — including a full view plus close-up detail shots
- Detailed remarks concerning sizing, fabric, and practical wearability
Evaluation submission interface
Reward points: An accepted evaluation can yield around 20 reward points. Submitting a High Quality Report may earn up to 100 extra points.
In case an initial review is returned for edits, you are generally granted one additional attempt to revise and resubmit.
Key guidelines to remember
• Maximum of 3 submissions per week (unused tries reset weekly)
• Shipping location must match the specific regional store platform
• Standard delivery cost is covered; local import fees depend on regional laws
• Complete your feedback report within 10 days post-delivery
• Duplicate or fraudulent accounts risk permanent disqualification
• Failing to upload feedback can impact potential future selection
Frequent reasons for application denial
❌ Unfilled profile data or incorrect sizing information
❌ Address settings inconsistent with site domain region
❌ Applying late after high-demand item quotas are met
❌ Vague feedback lacking clear images
❌ Missing the required report submission deadline
❌ Operating multiple profiles to gain extra entries
Frequently asked questions
Is delivery free of charge?
For approved test items, standard freight fees are covered. Regional customs duties may still apply based on local tax rules.
How many items can I request weekly?
Up to 3 requests per week. Remaining allowances do not stack or transfer over.
Do participants keep the evaluated products?
Yes. If chosen in the testing program, candidates generally retain the item once the required review is posted.
When are candidate selections published?
Typically within seven days. Review your application dashboard to see Approved or Failed statuses.
What happens if my review is rejected?
Candidates are usually offered one opportunity to amend and resubmit the feedback following image standards.
Is a large social media following required?
No. Detailed evaluations, clear photos, and platform engagement carry more weight than social follower counts.
That summarizes the workflow: access the portal → apply (up to 3 times/week) → await selection updates → if selected, test the package → post thorough feedback with images. Keep account details up to date, apply promptly as listings change, and fulfill review obligations.
