Curious about where Shein’s warehouses are located and how their shipping system operates?

From the central hub in Foshan, China, to regional warehouses across the globe, Shein’s logistics network is designed to bring trendy, affordable fashion to your doorstep.

In this article, we’ll uncover the locations of their warehouses, explain how shipping is managed, and address why deliveries might take longer than anticipated.

Let’s unravel the mystery behind Shein’s worldwide operations!

Shein Warehouses - Where are They Located?

Where are Shein Warehouses Located?

There are many Shein warehouses around the world and the most notable are the ones located in the USA, Spain, France, Russia, Germany, Italy, Australia, Switzerland, and the Middle East. 

However, though there are many warehouses in different countries, they all receive their products from the Shein international warehouse located in Foshan, Guangdong province, China. 

Though Shein ships all their orders from China, these strategically placed warehouses help streamline deliveries so you can receive your order much quicker than if it was shipped directly from China.

Which Shein Warehouse Services my Region?

Shein has many warehouses around the world and this has been done to make the whole delivery process easier. 

Shein ships a majority of their orders from the China warehouse and you will not be able to select which warehouse the product should come from. However, if the product you order is available in stock at one of their international warehouses located nearest to you, then your order will be shipped from that warehouse and not from China. 

For Example:

Since everything here has a demographic lock, if you place an order from any European country and the item is available in the local European warehouse, then your order will be shipped from there and not another warehouse in a different region of the world. 

But, if the product is not available at the European warehouse, then that item will be shipped directly from China and will then be delivered to your home address.

How to Check Where my Shein Order is Coming From?

You will not be able to see the origin of your Shein delivery through the website/app. But if you open the tracking ID on the carrier's tracking page, you will be able to see where the package originated from and a rough estimate of how long it will take to reach your destination.

Where is the Shein Warehouse in the USA?

Shein never used to have warehouses in different countries and used to ship all their products directly from China to the rest of the world. Due to an influx in overseas orders and frequent delays, Shein decided to open a number of international warehouses to cater to customers of different countries.

In the USA, the local Shein warehouse is situated in Los Angeles and New Jersey. All orders placed from within the coastal US will be fulfilled by either one of these warehouses. The only exception to this is if the product you buy is not available in the LA warehouse or the Jersey warehouse, then and only then will your order be shipped directly from the Foshan warehouse in China.

Though Shein orders generally take time to get delivered, the good quality and low prices of their clothes and accessories keep buyers hooked.

How Long Does it Take for Orders to Arrive from Shein’s International Warehouse?

Shein delivery times depend on where you’re located and whether the product you ordered is available at the nearest warehouse. While Shein provides a rough estimate on how long it will take for your order to be delivered, if your order has been shipped from China then Shein won’t handle the delivery and everything will rely on the shipping carrier.

Orders generally take 3-4 weeks to arrive from the Shein international warehouse in China and this includes possible delays and customs clearance. Although Shein tries to bring their products in via a duty-free route, customs officials tend to stop some packages originating from China and you will have to pay local taxes and import duties which can cause a significant delay in receiving your order.

Another factor that can affect the delivery of your order is the volume of orders Shein receives at any particular time. So, if you’re shopping during a peak sale or during seasonal events, then you can expect there to be delays in your delivery.

If your order is available at the nearest warehouse then it will take 1-2 weeks to be delivered depending on which shipping method you selected upon checkout. Express delivery is the fastest with a 1-2 week turnaround, whereas Standard and Economy will take around 2-3 weeks to be delivered.

Does Shein Have Physical Stores?

Shein is one of the few online brands that does not have any brick and mortar store anywhere apart from China. On the other hand, if you’re unwilling to place an order online and wait for 1-3 weeks for the package to arrive, you can try one of Shein’s pop-up stores and buy goods locally.

Unfortunately, no one knows when a pop-up will appear until a few weeks prior to the launch date. For example, the most recent pop-up to take place was in Australia where there was a Shein pop-up shop in Melbourne’s CBD between May 13 - May 15 and the general public was informed about this event only at the end of April.

Do All Shein Warehouses Have the Same Products?

In short, no. You will only find local styles and regional fashion trends available on Shein. This is because of their demographic lock and the fact that not everyone will wear fashionable items that are popular in another country. 

For example, in the US, you will not find clothes or trends that are popular in Asia or the middle east. Rather, you’d only find clothes and accessories that appeal to Americans. 

So to answer the main question here, warehouses only have the clothes that are available on your regional Shein domain. The UK based Shein warehouse will only have the products available on the UK Shein website and the US Shein warehouses will only have the products available on the US Shein website.

Therefore, if you want to buy something that’s available in a different region or country, you’d have to place your order on that particular website and not your local site. The products will then be shipped from China and will not come directly from your local warehouse.

FAQ’s

Where is Shein’s headquarters?

Shein’s headquarters is located in Nanjing, China. But their international warehouse is based in Foshan, Guangdong province, China.

Can I select the Shein warehouse before placing my order?

Unfortunately, no. Shein does not allow you to preselect the warehouse and the orders get processed automatically from the nearest warehouse to your location. Only if the product you order is not available in the local warehouse, then it’s shipped from their Chinese warehouse in Foshan.

Why has my Shein order been shipped in two consignments?

Shein will only split your order and send it out in two shipments if some of the products you added to your cart are not available at your local warehouse and are being sent from their Chinese warehouse.

Where is Shein’s warehouse located in the US?

Shein has two warehouses in the US, one in Florida and the other in New Jersey. All US based orders will be shipped from either one of these warehouses.

Does Shein have UK and Australian warehouses?

Shein orders from the UK and Australia are shipped from the nearest warehouse which are mostly Europe and SouthEast Asia.

Takeaway

While all of Shein’s clothes come from China and are then shipped to buyers around the world, the brand has set up warehouses in different countries to help ease delivery constraints and offer faster delivery times. 

All Shein warehouses will never have the same products and ultimately if you have to place an order for something that’s not available in your local warehouse, then the order will be fulfilled by the Foshan warehouse in China.

We hope they open a few more warehouses that can help with faster delivery and at least then even the latest trends will be available locally and you wouldn’t have to wait upwards of 2 weeks for your order to arrive.
