Recently a woman posted a video on TikTok claiming to have received a Chipolo Tracker with her Shein order. She posted the video on TikTok in October to share her experience with a Shein order. She had ordered denim overalls, however, it came with a tracker stitched to the back panel.
Luckily, the beeping sound helped her identify it and remove it before it was too late. In a state of panic, she recorded the event and decided to raise awareness for her audience. She revealed the 'Shein' tag and held the tracker before the camera for the audience's insights.
The post spread like wildfire and X-users poured hilarious reactions on the post.
Fans reacted hilariously to a woman's Shein purchase
'Nobody tracking y'all'
An X-user believed that the tracker was not for the recipient but for the goods. They claimed that the RFID tool was an anti-theft measure taken by Shein, and may even be used to trace and address grievances of those who deny receiving the packages. 'This is how companies are fighting back,' they added.
'This is scary'
Another user affirmed that the woman's fright and concerns were justified. Discovering a tracker sewn to the clothes is indeed scary! However, the support was expressed comically with a meme to depict confusion and terror.
"I will never shop with Shein"
A netizen voiced their distaste for Shein. Over the years, while Shein continued to flourish as a brand, many were skeptical about its policies. They felt that its extremely cheap pricing was suspicious, especially in this economy. The user remarked how they would never shop from Shein.
The 'Shein Slasher'
As several viewers voiced their concerns, many used humor to support Riya's claims. A 'Shein slasher on the loose' may be an exaggerated statement, but finding a tracker may instill a strong sense of terror as being stalked by a slasher.
"What else did you expect?"
The pricing of Shein's products is remarkably reasonable, stirring suspicion among many about the 'skeletons in the closer.' An X-user expressed how they saw it coming and the customers should have known better.
Call the cops
Several X-users questioned the truth behind the woman's claims. Some advised the TikToker to file a police complaint and seek protection if the incident legit took place. However, the woman added in her caption that she already had called the police and had posted much later for awareness purposes.
Shein as a brand
Shein has stood out in the fast fashion industry and has become the go-to online mall for younger folks. However, it has faced critical controversies in the past few years due to concerns regarding its data policies, sustainability, CSR, and ethics. Nonetheless, amid the criticism, it is still regarded as one of the fastest-growing manufacturers of the present times.
