I didn’t think they were a direct competitor to Superdry. He’s just waiting to get in the headlines given super dry are in trouble again financially. They need to have a head wobble about their overpriced clothes to be fair, they had their time 10 or so years ago, everyone had one of their jackets!

Superdry aside this is an issue that’s already being addressed in the US. If Primark weren’t paying anything for its clothes sales I’m sure people would be equally annoyed.
They do and they also get their shipping subsidised by the state otherwise it would not be viable.

Shein is the worst thing to happen to clothing. Literally all the bad things about the fashion industry got turned up to 11 with this shitty company. Crappy clothes made by slave labour that shed microplastics everywhere, contain god knows what banned chemicals and disintegrate with one wash. Disadvantaged people used to be able to find decent and affordable clothing in charity shops and now they are starting to be filled with Shein shit.

The whole “no tax under 135” is just a flaw. I know people across various game communities who always make sure everything they buy flies under 135 so its untaxed.
Big stores should be collecting tax at POS for under 135 (aka Shien) but millions must be coming on from abroad via small sellers tax free

Likely a campaign to start blaming companies like SHEIN for their failures, and not their ridiculous prices, poor quality, and out-of-date fashion.

Convinced Superdry is a money laundering scheme. You rarely see anyone wearing it these days, and the shop in Cheltenham, as far as I remember, is huge that cannot be selling much.

Anyone remember Play.com?
This was their business model, by shipping dvds from the channel islands they avoided uk vat so could undercut uk businesses.
