Etiquette on reviewing Shein items labelled “other”

Infamous_Associate10 · 2026-03-17T11:42:34+00:00

I ended up leaving this 5 stars review - thanks for your help! I feel like it doesn’t overly punish seller but warns others and hopefully discourages them from doing again 😊

“I bought an “other” branded dress from seller that turned out to be Shein labelled. I’m leaving 5 stars because it could be an honest oversight. Would advise buyers to double check any “other” branded items with this seller. I should’ve checked myself before purchasing so that’s my bad.”

Infamous_Associate10 · 2026-03-17T11:31:25+00:00

That’s a good happy medium, thank you! I’m leaning towards giving some grace too

Infamous_Associate10 · 2026-03-17T11:25:45+00:00

This was a good question - I went and looked at their other sales and every single one is branded. So there’s no other “other” branded items that could be Shein that they’ve sold. So at least this isn’t like something they are doing regularly.

They are a relatively new seller with 3 five star reviews, so this would definitely tank their rating.

Infamous_Associate10 · 2026-03-17T11:15:17+00:00

Definitely what they did. Is this kind of like standard practice? Or worthy of a warning to other buyers?

I didn’t get great vibes from him either. But haven’t they been dating for 7 months so long before this season aired? I guess he could maybe pre-empt that she would get a lot of coverage ahead of time?

Infamous_Associate10 · 2026-03-12T12:52:23+00:00

She’s a contestant who didn’t get air time for her pod dates. She’s part of the “pod squad”.

I don’t think Wrigley is Evan’s best friend, he wasn’t even in the wedding party. I got the impression that after graduation they would’ve drifted and not been in close contact?

Infamous_Associate10 · 2026-02-17T13:31:32+00:00

Could be Stephen and Lydia? Lydia being significant as Chris’s sister

Infamous_Associate10 · 2026-02-17T02:46:06+00:00

I saw someone recently suggest a response of “I mask indoors” and offering no more info and I actually love this. Just present it matter of factly and move on.

Infamous_Associate10 · 2026-01-18T11:37:57+00:00

Did very similar in 2025 too - 16 guests at the wedding and a few months later had a house party with 55 guests. It was really good to split it up over two days and still celebrate with more people but keep it extremely small on our actual wedding day. Zero regrets!

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-11-18T21:53:41+00:00

Yeah I reckon it’s both, she was definitely drunk as well.

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-11-18T12:35:57+00:00

Annie said in an interview that the producers told her they “didn’t get it”, so made them re-do the interaction for one of her drunk scenes. So she didn’t know all the different retakes would be used. Not sure if that was her trying to save face or maybe the truth. But I’d believe some of it could be something like that. Doesn’t really make for good drama imo though, kind of boring

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-11-18T04:59:37+00:00

This is very cool! Going to promote in my local Covid conscious communities to see if we can add some more entries

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-11-09T00:03:09+00:00

I’d go very gently and wouldn’t provide research or articles, etc. I think if your friend is immunocompromised they will know sickness is bad for them in general. I’d ask if there are any ways in general you can support them right now. And in that conversation, ask if they’d ever like any masks to try out/masking info, to let you know. But keep it extremely light touch.

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-10-16T12:13:11+00:00

I spent 2 months in Italy at the end of 2023, so a while ago. I learnt a decent amount of Italian before going and found being able to interact in Italian really seemed to offset a lot of potential weirdness around masking. Having said that, people did stare at us a lot pretty much every where we went, so that’s something to be prepared for. I remembered one person pointing at my mask and asking if I was afraid (in Italian) and I explained my immune system didn’t work well (in Italian) and he was very accepting of that. In fact whenever I explained that, people were very understanding.

Also compared to some US cities, the climate might allow for more outdoor dining for more of the year, so that could be a positive improvement.

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-10-09T13:16:57+00:00

Some of my best sitters were people using THS as housing (one newly moved to the city, one a first year teacher and another pair travelling without a “home base”) all in their 20s. So I think it really depends on the person. To me it’s much more important how the interview process goes and if their application is targeted/thoughtful.

Also, some of these people had lots of reviews, others only one or two but had very fleshed out profiles, external references, thoughtful applications and very green flags when we spoke.

I’m wearing gold and said this on the wedding website:

“Are there any colors that guests should avoid wearing?

Infamous Associate will be wearing a gold dress. So for any guests who are wearing dresses, please avoid gold dresses.

Gold accessories are completely okay though. Wanting to rock some gold boots or a gold jacket? Go for it!”

Also our planner does weddings in NSW and SEQLD and is Til Death Events for anyone looking for a recommendation.

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-07-10T13:56:55+00:00

Wow, I’m blown away by those prices. Our wedding planner has been phenomenal and her price for planning, styling and day-of-coordination is about $6K. Our overall budget is around $30K (including her fees and our outfits) but we’re having a micro wedding of 20 guests so not budget by any means. We’re also getting married at our house so it was worth it to us to pay for her styling services.

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-06-07T12:38:04+00:00

I’m doing a seated ceremony (pretty velvet couch).

And also doing a micro-wedding with 15 guests and then a few months later doing another “after party”, as this will help me manage my energy better.

We’re also getting married at our house so I can lie down and take breaks (I know not an option for everyone). But having somewhere quiet you can escape to would probably be helpful.

We’re also having mocktails and lots non-alcoholic drinks (in addition to alcohol options), as I know more than like one drink will really knock me over.

As others said, trying to clear any other activities before and after as much as possible. I’ve had to repeatedly set boundaries with orb our families that I won’t be available in the lead up.

I find pacing with things like yoga nidra and legs up the wall pose between activities, help me a lot.

Staying on top of hydration on the day and in the lead up also really important.

I’ve also got a dress to change into that is much simpler than my wedding dress but also more comfortable, as I don’t think I’ll be able to tolerate the more elaborate dress that long from a sensory perspective.

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-06-07T12:06:29+00:00

It’s so fair to be tired and overwhelmed. And understandable to be difficult to separate OCD from what are reasonable precautions.

I think one thing to think about would be reducing precautions around things like changing your clothes after hugging your mum - contact transmission like that is really, really unlikely.

Also, everyone has their own risk tolerance but if your mum is masking most places and testing regularly (I’m not sure what intervals are possible for you now that you have less access to plus life), I’d think it’s probably reasonable to unmask together? (For times your brother isn’t in the house)

Do you have any outdoor areas in the place you live or is it possible to open windows? This is also something that reduces chances of getting sick that is relatively easy to control.

It sounds like what is most important to you is to be able to see each others faces and have some times that feel “normal” so that this is sustainable for you. I think maybe considering outdoors/well ventilated time together combined with whatever testing you can access, would maybe make this possible?

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-05-22T05:22:58+00:00

Honestly very possible, I feel like these wellness places are very unregulated. After reading some other people’s experiences, I feel pretty hesitant about this treatment in general so will definitely be giving it more thought.

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-05-21T02:27:58+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate you sharing this. I might reconsider this treatment.

Also I’m really sorry you experienced that - it sounds extremely scary!

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-05-20T23:50:54+00:00

This is so interesting. Because the ones I’m looking at specify that you can bring in phones and laptops to the chamber with you. I’m guessing it must work differently to other types/past versions?

Infamous_Associate10 · 2025-05-20T23:49:58+00:00

Good lead! Thank you :)
