A lot of companies have the same kind of human rights records, if you check.

My clothes don't go into landfill - I've never posted on here that I have so many pairs of shoes or boots, (or anything) that I can't count, or am ashamed to say.

Totally agree Terribull Temu is similar, never mind incidences of both child and forced Labour, plus the contribution to landfill by some of their customers. No thanks.

Absolutely. I'm shocked that anyone with a brain would buy from them

Could it be their Gerald Ratner moment, their message being "buying from us means a sting in the tail for businesses that pay their fair share of tax in the UK" given RR has stated that she will allow Shein's tax loophole to stand.

We inadvertently brought one back in a suitcase from Tuscany.
We took it in a plastic tub to our local vet who, after showing it to all and sundry, safely euthanised it.

Cheap and cheerful works for me! Hope I never get a 'freebie' scorpion though! Eeek!

I’ve got 2 Shein dresses (both bought for my by a daughter).
Whenever I wear them I get compliments. Cheap and cheerful stuff. However probably not a good back catalogue (human rights, slave labour ??) eldest daughter won’t touch them.

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with the quality of the clothes.
I can't vouch for the scorpion though.

Oh no! I like Shein - cheap and cheerful. But I certainly don’t want a scorpion or any other insect in my parcel 🦟 🐞 🐜 - I will be opening any future parcels in the garden…..

Sadly cheap and cheerful because they copy established products but inferior quality. Fast fashion at its worst.

Is it free returns?

Well that’s a bonus the customer didn’t expect!
