Why Does My SHEIN Order Say ‘Shipment on Hold’?

Ever excitedly tracked your latest SHEIN haul, only to be puzzled by the status ‘shipment on hold’? Let’s decode this mystery together and get you back on track for your fashion fix.

Noticing ‘shipment on hold’ on your SHEIN order can throw you for a loop, sparking questions and a tiny bit of worry. What does it exactly mean, and more importantly, how can it affect your eagerly awaited package?

Short Answer: It’s a Temporary Pause

Simply put, ‘shipment on hold’ usually means your package is temporarily paused at a certain point in its journey to you. It’s not lost, just taking a little break. There are a couple of reasons why this could happen, ranging from customs checks, incomplete addresses, to even the courier just playing catch-up due to high volume.

Most times, this status doesn’t require any action from you. SHEIN and the courier are likely already on the case, sorting out whatever hiccup has occurred. It might just mean your package will arrive a tad later than initially expected.
