In reply to the discussion: Temu and Shein will raise prices for US customers due to Trump's tariffs [View all]BumRushDaShow
(156,998 posts)5. I have one of my youngest nieces who sent me her Christmas list a couple years ago
that had a link to some things she wanted and one was for something (I think a skirt) at Shein. I was like WTF is that place?
She manages to find stuff that literally either gets here on "the slow boat from China" or like that same year, it was something (I think a sweater dress) that came from Sweden, with a wild route that went from Malmo, then through Denmark, then the UK, and then to NY (Customs), then I think over to Cincinnati (Fedex), and it was like wild watching the tracking - all to get here to Philly.

When something is that cheap, I question the labor practices that are necessary to achieve those prices.

I've ordered over two hundred items from AliExpress (which I assume will follow suit)
