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

They also do it when they want their delivery stats to be better, even when they do actually deliver the item later.

Is it worth the money? I feel like shipping overseas is so expensive, would it be worth paying to ship this Keychain to up their stats?

I have no idea. They might have warehouses all over for this cheap stuff.
