Why shouldn't Shein be ordered? European Commission detected unfair practices on the platform
According to reports from Euronews, the European Commission has carried out an investigation which revealed Shein's usage of practices contrary to EU legislation. The platform presents customers with false product reductions. It is presented either a false first price, or a clock counting down to the end of the promotion, which never truly ends, and its intent is only to get the recipient to act quickly. Moreover, serious transparency gaps have been identified. This includes inaccurate returns, misleading sustainability statements and misleading product labels. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the platform frequently makes contact with client service hard for users, which importantly limits their ability to submit questions or complaints. Shein now has a period to respond to the charges and to present a plan to destruct these problems. If the European Commission finds that there has been no improvement, the company may be fined.
Euronews recalls that she heard akin allegations last November about Temu's platform. In this case, the elements of the wheel play were besides utilized to manipulate and false product reviews were besides displayed on the pages. However, it is worth noting that the EU is not limited to detecting irregularities in its fight.

The handling fee would amount to 2 euros (about PLN 8,5) and would be charged to any tiny package worth up to EUR 150 (about PLN 636.5).
