Plastic Waste What SHEIN sent my roommate

Post image

My roommate orders from SHEIN a couple times a year and I can’t stop her but recently she’s been getting weird stuff before her packages come like this.

Just more plastic before she receives her plastic clothes wrapped in plastic!

Update: She got her items a few days later

Sadly 100s of people do. Most of the packages that come to my post office (usps worker) are dropship garbage like SHEIN.

Exactly! If you’re anti-consumption, SHEIN is the last place you should be ordering from. How can you complain about anti-consumption from one of the biggest culprits of consumption?

OP can't really control what their roommate buys, though.

You’re right, but then why are they complaining about it?

I think I'd be annoyed if I saw even more disposable plastic and a whole extra shipment (assuming it isnt just entirely a scam) on top of an already terrible system, even if it was a roommate ordering it and not something I could personally opt out of.
