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.
