    You are totally right they have changed soooo much!! I believe since they became big they don't care anymore. The customer service is also so much worse.

      That’s a bit unfair, don’t you think? It seems like some people just love to compare the brand's past and present, almost like they're trying to pick a fight

    Thank you for being so open & frank with your review. I too am an apple shape & love your videos coz years ago there was no such definition. As “apple shaped”. I’m 50 so remember it well. I realised earlier this year, that SHEIN had dropped their standards. I bought a playsuit to take away on holiday, and one of its boot lace strap ripped whilst trying it on. I quickly mended it, but thought to myself, that’s it for me. That was April & I’ve not used them since. I know they’re cheap, but it doesn’t mean they can sell us crap. Your haul would have been a good one, but glad you’re returning & keeping the pullover. Thank you for sharing. 💖

    Most of what I've bought from shein have been good mainly shoes but I have donated alot of clothes as well they were not good quality. I now buy from small businesses to keep them in business. I may pay extra but they are quality and some hand made clothes and jewellery I really love vintage jewellery and i only buy what I need. xx

      That sounds a bit exaggerated! A lot of people have noticed that shein’s quality can be pretty solid. It really varies with each piece! Finding the right fit is key, and sometimes it just takes a little digging to find the gems.

    Totally agree with you Marleen, if you are not going to take pride in the product you are selling, then just dont sell. I havent bought from Shein for a while now, I have switched to Temu for the reasons you detailed in your video. Thank you so much for being frank with your review. It helps us all. I do hope the company takes note and returns to winning ways again. 😉

    Hi Marleen. I used to buy clothing from Shein but now will never buy from them again because they wouldn't take a return that in the original listing did not say "non returnable". When I tried to return it they said it was a "special non-returnable item". $22 (USD) down the drain.

    Glad I'm not the only one Marleen! I did several large hauls this year, where I loved virtually every item. Like you I check reviews and measurements eyc. However I ordered a big haul which came last week and I was so disappointed. Only one item was a keeper, and it was an item I was reordering as I had worn it to death ( so I already knew it was nice). I bought a three pack of leggings ( shein is normally my leggings go to) and they had a rib in them but literally felt like rough plastic. I bought two long rayon shirts, that looked like a cheesecloth material, and they are flowy but the fabric is rough, like a coarse linen. I got what should have been a beautiful muslin blanket as a baby gift and it had been caught folded as it was sewn so had a massive fault on the seam. A long line jumper that was actually cropped and a full 15cm shorter than given measurements!! The whole haul was just an epic fail.

    I think they have always been of poor quality. I've tried not to think about their appalling working conditions, high toxicity content and bad reputation. When I've ordered things. 80% of them have been disappointing to say the least. I'm surprised that you only notice that now. Low price fast fashion is bad for (our children's) planet and encourages wasteful over-consumerism of crappy tat.

    Shien is trash. I was at a wedding recently and it was obvious who was wearing Shien clothes. Bad fit, creases that wouldn't come out, the lowest quality of fabrics and extremely bad tailoring. One gorl was wearing a dress made from umbrella fabric. Why do you waste your money on this crap? Go cheap, pay twice. I'm on a strict budget for clothes and would never waste it on Shien.

    Buying from companies like Shein isn't an especially good idea! They are just mainly fast fashion junk, poorly made, exploiting workers, and cluttering up landfills! Shein and Temu are some of the worst when it comes to wasteful consumption! The items are so cheap because the companies use the shabbiest material and hardware, don't bother with any quality details, and pay their workers next to nothing. Despicable companies! I'm sorry you were so disappointed in your selections.

    Oh dear Marleen... not your best success. I have never bought from Shein so can't comment on whether their quality has gone downhill, but what I can say is that I have received items from M&S which have been creased to high heaven. I think in their case it is part of a drive to use less packaging so smallish things end up loose and unwrapped in large post bags, they move around in transit and look like a dog's dinner by the time they arrive. 😒🙄 By the way, I'd just like to say that you are not in the least bit offensive. However there are a lot of people out there who enjoy feeling offended by things and enjoy even more making their offence known. Ignore them. Xxx
