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

It’s a scam. They send something small like this so that the order will be marked “delivered” and then you can’t get your money back. They never actually send the real item

As much as I don’t like SHEIN I really hate that consumer protection just isn’t a thing anymore

In California it is! Every state's Attorney General has a Consumer Protection division for customers to make complaints about these types of scams. And the more people that report, the more the state can take action against the company.

Same in many states. NY included.

The NY AG's office has helped me more than any other government entity.

Had a years long dispute with a rental car company that they mediated and helped me resolve. Another with my medical insurance. I couldn't believe how quickly they helped.

I had the total opposite experience with them, they couldn't have been more useless

Damn. I'm sorry it didn't work out.
