They're not available in South Africa. Only in the US, Europe and parts of Asia, even some poorer parts such as Thailand and India.

All local clothing shops only have 3 sizes. XS, XXL or XXXL.
I still don't understand why buying clothing online is so popular. Don't you people want to try things on first without the hassle of having to deal with shipping back returns?
I've never once ordered a piece of clothing online.
I dont disagree with putting a tax on Shein and Temu BUT the real bigger picture is that the import tax for our retailers are ALSO too high and that should drop.South Africans fighting for Temu and Shein
New tax regulations that will apply to small-volume and low-value clothing orders from Shein and Temu as of 1 July have caused a backlash among consumers.
However, National Clothing Retail Federation executive director Michael Lawrence has said that these objections are based on a feeble argument and consumers need to look at the bigger picture.
I didn't realise exploitation was considered a legitimate job.A petition against South African jobs. How clever.
I don't think you understand me. Money that goes to these sheisters are better spent in our economy.I didn't realise exploitation was considered a legitimate job.
These sheisters are getting basically the same amount from us.I don't think you understand me. Money that goes to these sheisters are better spent in our economy.
I struggle to find M. Too many fat ****s ruining it for the rest of us healthy folk.
Go to the Kids section. Look for boys clothes.Same the few times I go buy clothes size 32-34 jeans have been an issue.
Scenarios 2 more tax money and better quality products. You also actually have the ability to return crappy goods.These sheisters are getting basically the same amount from us.
Scenario 1
Consumer buys R100 worth of goods from Temu. Chinese guys get R100
Scenario 2
Local importer buys R100 worth of goods from Chinese supplier and sells it locally for R500. Chinese guys get R100
That's where you're uninformed. The quality from Temu is really decent, at least as good as the stuff the local guys import from China. And you can return goods to Temu easily (not sure about Shein).Scenarios 2 more tax money and better quality products. You also actually have the ability to return crappy goods.

TidytucsCan they contact you for making the pants legs longer?
I bought a dual sweatband and headband set off Shein and it arrived on Tuesday. I paid R20 for it, the quality is 10 times better than the **** i bought at Mr Price sport which i paid R150 for two shitty wristbands only so i got more for much less as well...Scenarios 2 more tax money and better quality products.

If the duties were considerably lower to retailers, then the knock on effect would be, that the retailers could actually pay their workers a decent enough salary, while still hitting a favourable profit margin. I worked for one of these retailers, I know there profit margins on clothing, and what they bought the item for. Many would be shocked, then again, many wouldn't be.In the long run we're going to circle back to the root of the problem: exorbitant wage demands from workers in the local clothing-manufacturing industry, compounded by greedy profit demands from the retailers, which drove things to a net-import model.
