    I was surprised to see Shein take off the way it did. The first and only time I ever visited that site, I thought, “For sure this has to be a scam.” The layout and design set off alarm bells in my head, like sites from earlier internet days that were guaranteed to give your computer a virus.

    It was wild to find out that so many people legit shop there. But I guess I’m showing my age.

        I miss the old aliexpress, where the search wasn’t a mangled mess of whoever’s paying for top position and filters existed and worked (somewhat)
