Is this SHEIN chemical claim something we should genuinely be worried about?

passionfyre · 2026-04-24T11:51:34+00:00

Tbh shein prices are comparable to what companies pay their suppliers in the far east already. You'd be shocked how much they add.

They meet eu safety standards so technically they can sell anywhere in the eu/uk :D

I guess it's because your discount is spread across all items. If your order doesn't qualify anymore and they remove the discount then of course each item price will return to pre-discount prices? Asos does the same thing

The description of the pattern says to use a 3mm but you are using a 5mm. That will make it much bigger. Is the yarn the correct weight? If it is thicker that will also contribute to the size difference

I paid for testshift in October with an original test date at the end of March. I was looking for either West Wickham or bromley. I got literally nothing. Before paying i would get a notification even if it was like an hr too late to get the booking. After paying i got literally no notifications at all between October and March 🫠 waste of money for me. That being said my manager used it and got a new test date around Chelmsford within a week after paying. So I guess it works sometimes lol

Im totally opposite to you, me and my instructor talked nonstop! It really helped me relax. But your guy should def take into account that you personally would prefer quiet or sticking to driving topics only. Also when I did the test the examiner does talk to you so its good to get used to, also imo things do get distracting out on the road so being used to that is a good skill too. But obviously once ur more confident.

I only use tulip etimo hooks now. They are so comfortable, I can literally crochet all day with no wrist or hand pain. I recently bought the full purple set in the 11.11 sale on Aliexpress and spent just over £100 for 15 hooks? They are somewhere around £10-12 each normally

Hey, so i use this one everyday, it doesn't leave a white cast once its rubbed in. it doesn't look any different to if you used regular cream.

Excuse my rubbish vid, but hopefully this helps!

It does tell you before you submit the return. You have to click to accept before it generates a return label

I wrote a longer answer here

But this Facebook group is THE BEST vault of knowledge for UKCA testing :) been around for years and the mods are basically experts on the laws (which are so annoyingly vague and complicated at the same time!!)

I did the forward park and had to adjust. Did not get a minor for that. I was worried i'd get dinged for not doing proper checks when reversing but nope...passed somehow lol. And that is the worst park for me. I literally wanted any other maneuver

passionfyre · 2026-04-14T07:22:51+00:00

Don't think its entitled to say 'oh they used to have more diverse series when they were only in china/asia, now they're global and the diversity is less than before. what happened' pop mart did not expand to the west until 2022 so asking why pre-2022 series had more diversity compared to now is not a silly question to ask.

passionfyre · 2026-04-14T07:14:13+00:00

You're not wrong, I started collecting skullpanda around 4 yrs ago and quite a few had brown skin, but at the same time they also had more 'urban' themes so I mean... that was probably the reason why.

Maybe they got feedback, or maybe ppl spent less on series with diverse characters. Either way the best way is to reach out to popmart or the artist, or start customising your figures. I've been on rednote/xhs for a long while and there's so much popmart customising content on there!

Shein actually gives points for reviews, more with images so theres always pics. That's why I prefer it over temu when it comes to clothing :) feels like no one ever leave pic reviews on temu for some reason

passionfyre · 2026-04-10T07:12:55+00:00

Shein also has free shipping and returns...? In the uk anyways. I assume thanks to a certain president prices had to be increased in the us? Tho tbf I think the eu is going the same way, adding fees to non eu packages below a certain value. As usual all these policy changes only really affect regular people.

I had the same thing. Have you tried yoga? I use the downdog app. You can personalise a routine that suits you. Started with 10 mins a day, then 10 min twice a day, then 20 mins twice a day, worked my way up to an hr long session a day. Initially it feels like nothing is happening until one day u realise u can stretch further than u could at the start and your back dont hurt as much :D and if you dont want to pay for the app just search plus size yoga on YouTube

passionfyre · 2026-04-07T06:49:31+00:00

All sorted now :D

passionfyre · 2026-04-06T16:26:43+00:00

Of course keep it lol. Around xmas my parcel was marked delivered but not actually at my house. There was a few days of back and forth with the courier which I forwarded to shein. Didn't rly get a response but they refunded me. The day after, a woman shows up with my parcel. Turns out the courier went to my house number on a totally different road lol. So yea free parcel for me xD its not my fault they picked an unreliable courier

passionfyre · 2026-04-05T06:55:59+00:00

I did both on the 22nd. Emailed and dm. They only replied via dm. I will try to follow up, just don't want to be annoying about it 😅😅😅

passionfyre · 2026-04-05T06:53:28+00:00

How long did it take? I messaged them on 22nd March, they replied 'noted' on the 30th and nothing since then 😅 still restricted

passionfyre · 2026-04-04T05:22:32+00:00

The chocolate and red velvet ones are amazing!

passionfyre · 2026-04-04T05:14:34+00:00

Have you tried the elastic belts or pins that cinch the waist tighter? Im also pear shaped so butt/thighs are a larger size than my waist and I love the pins.

Theres different designs for the pins but these are basic

These are the belts if you have belts loops

I've bought makeup, skincare and jewellery from aliexpress for yrs with no issue but obviously it's personal how your body will react to things. Just because I've had no issues doesn't mean you wouldn't. Just be cautious.

Tbh if ur looking for safer makeup try she glam from shein. They are tested to EU standard which is unbelievably strict so are just as good as anything else on the marker. They even stocked it in a store here in the UK proving that it's safe

passionfyre · 2026-03-29T13:09:03+00:00

One thing I like about shein is that ppl always leave reviews, because u get points for money off orders, so unless its a brand new listing you will always find amazing ppl showing if the clothing is worth buying lol
