Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I used to love Shein but lately it feels scammy. Prices jump when added to the cart, and coupons aren't as good as before. It's disappointing and feels deceptive.
throwawaynotes
I shop with SHEIN regularly, but they removed $4 worth of points without notice. It takes weeks to earn those points, and now I won't be placing an order anytime soon.
