Shopper's shocking discovery: Disgusting find in delivery sparks outrage and disbelief

Online shopping has revolutionised the way we buy everything from fashion to furniture, offering convenience and variety at the click of a button.

However, as one customer's experience shows, sometimes what arrives on your doorstep can be far from what you expected—and not in a good way.


A Shein shopper was left utterly disgusted and vowing to never order from the company again after making a horrifying discovery in her package.

The customer, who shared her experience on social media, was shocked to find not the latest fashion items but a trio of wriggling worms inside her delivery.

The video, which quickly made the rounds, showed several Shein bags scattered across the floor, with the camera then zooming in on a paper plate that disturbingly displays the live critters.

The shopper's reaction was visceral and immediate: ‘I could throw up right now,’ she expressed, capturing the sentiment of many viewers.


The incident sparked a wave of disbelief and concern among the online community.

One commenter questioned, ‘Is this real?’ to which the shopper, identified as Coad, assured, ‘Swear it's real I can't make it up.’

She recounted the traumatic moment, saying she ‘screamed so loud’ upon the discovery.

‘I truly wanted to throw up. I can't make it up! I dumped the packages out and they fell out onto my feet and the ground,’ she shared.


Coad stated that he contacted Shein following the discovery but alleged that the company did not respond.

‘They unfortunately told me in emails it's not their fault and they aren't liable,’ she said.

The social media creator also mentioned that the company refused to issue a refund for her order.

‘It makes me so mad they won't give me any compensation,’ Coad expressed.

‘And clearly, they would be smart enough to do it regarding how popular my TikTok has gotten.’


The company stated that it was ‘in touch with the customer’ and has since provided Coad with a full refund.

‘When we received the customer's inquiry, we launched an immediate investigation,’ a Shein spokesperson stated.

‘This indicated that when the package completed our quality control process and left our facility, it contained only the SHEIN items ordered.’


One commenter on Coad's post mentioned having a similar experience with a Shein order.

‘Mine literally came with a bug once, and it was such a difficult process to get my money back,’ the user reported.

Others expressed concerns about opening their own Shein packages.

‘Great, just placed an order before I saw this will be opening outside UGH,’ another said.

‘This is why I open mine in the guest bathroom,’ a third wrote. ‘I can run out, lock the door and never go in there again.’


While the unsettling experiences shared by shoppers continue to raise eyebrows, they are not isolated incidents.

Another shocking discovery made by a child inside a parcel from Australia Post highlights the ongoing concerns about package safety and the need for vigilance when receiving deliveries.

As these incidents unfold, they underscore the importance of being cautious and aware of what arrives at our doorsteps.

The following is NOT an advert for Shein.
It must be read to the tune of Shine on Harvest Moon

Shein on, Shein on, Harvest Worms, beneath the night sky,
While I scroll through Shein, with outfits to try.
Dresses bright and bold, oh what a delight,
As the moonlight dances, everything feels right.

Wiggle in the soil, busy little friends,
While I find new styles, where the fashion blends.
Shein has the looks that make my heart sway,
Underneath the moonlight, let’s shop and play.

So Shein on, Harvest Worms, in the soft glow,
With Shein’s lovely finds, let the good vibes flow.
Fashion and nature, together they bloom,
In this harvest season, let’s light up the room.(With new fashion Glow Worms)
🤣🤣You REALLY DON'T know what you're getting from Shein
Mostly wiggly crap it seems

It was delivered, therefore it's not Temu's responsibility if you don't have a safe place for delivery. You could always arrange to pick up your parcels from your PO.
I’ve bought lots of things from TEMU no problems with delivery
