Shein Package Delivers Scorpion to Bristol Student: A Shocking Surprise
It's not every day you open a Shein package and find a scorpion inside, but that's exactly what happened to a Bristol student last week.
The student, who wished to remain anonymous, had ordered a few new clothes from the popular online retailer. But when the package arrived, she discovered something unexpected – a live scorpion tucked away amongst her new outfits!
The student said she was "absolutely terrified" when she saw the scorpion. "I thought it was a fake one at first," she explained, "but then it moved." She quickly called pest control, who were able to safely remove the scorpion from her flat.
This isn't the first time that Shein has been involved in an unusual incident. In 2021, a woman in the UK found a snake in her Shein order. And just last month, a couple in the US discovered a live frog in their package.
While these incidents may seem comical, they raise important questions about quality control at Shein. The company has been criticized in the past for its labor practices and its environmental impact. Now, with these recent discoveries, it seems they might also have a problem with animal control.
Shein has yet to respond to this latest incident. It's unclear how the scorpion ended up in the package, but the student hopes this will serve as a reminder to others to be careful when ordering from online retailers.
Here are some tips for avoiding unwanted critters in your online orders:
- Check your packages carefully before opening them. Look for any signs of damage or unusual activity.
- Order from reputable retailers. Choose companies with a good track record for quality control.
- Consider using a third-party delivery service. This can help to ensure that your packages are handled properly.
This incident is a reminder that even the most unlikely things can happen with online shopping. So next time you order something from Shein, keep an eye out for more than just a great deal!
