Eek! 18-Year-Old UK Student Finds Live Scorpion in Shein Order
Remember that cool new dress you ordered from Shein? Yeah, well, one UK student got a little more than she bargained for when a live scorpion turned up in her package. Eighteen-year-old [Name withheld], a student in [City], UK, was unpacking her latest Shein haul when she spotted something decidedly not on the order form - a scorpion!
The incident, which took place earlier this month, has sent shockwaves through the internet. [Name], who had ordered a simple summer dress, was shocked and terrified when she pulled out the scorpion, which was hiding among the folds of her new clothing.
"I was so scared," [Name] told the press. "It was crawling around in my package! I didn't know what to do, so I just screamed and threw the whole thing back in the box."
Shein, known for its ultra-fast shipping and trendy (but sometimes questionable) fashion, has faced backlash for the incident. The company, based in China, has since apologized to [Name] and offered a full refund. Shein has also pledged to investigate how the scorpion ended up in her package.
"We are taking this matter very seriously," a Shein spokesperson stated. "We are investigating the incident and taking steps to prevent it from happening again. We are committed to ensuring the safety of our customers."
This is not the first time a creepy crawly has been found in a Shein package. Last year, a customer in Australia found a live spider in her order.
So, what does this all mean for future Shein shoppers? It's probably a good idea to give your packages a thorough check before you start unpacking them! And maybe keep a fly swatter handy... just in case.
