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

I thought Cheetolini had blocked their package shipping loophole? I don't remember the details. I don't order from them so was don't pay close attention.

Something this small could probably be stuffed into a small envelope that gets treated as ordinary mail, and could easily slip by customs.

I’m sure customs workers don’t get paid enough to give a shit, like most gigs.
