Dishonest and unreliable

I used to have a good experience shopping with Shein but recently they have become just as ****my as these other sites. They now force you to pay import charges upfront directly to them, before your order can even be confirmed. If they cannot fulfil said order (which happens more and more often thesedays since their stock availability never reflects correctly) they will only refund the cost of the items and not the import charges that you prepaid to them. So it has become a gamble to order from them. Not worth the stress or headache. You will get the exact same items on Temu, often for much cheaper, and they seem to be much more reliable and trustworthy thesedays. I would recommend them over Shein.
