A SHEIN order has left a longtime fan confused, as it wasn’t quite what she imagined it would look like.
The woman paid for the fashionable two-piece set recently when shopping on the e-commerce platform.

After opening the box, there were some differences in what she got compared to the listing photo on Shein’s website, per a video from TikToker Amuor (@amuor_dollar).
In the clip, Amuor could be seen wearing a red dress with thin, over-the-shoulder straps.
The influencer then changed into what she ordered from Shein.
For comparison’s sake, she included a picture from the original listing on the top right-hand corner.
It clearly showed an olive green, ribbed dress in two pieces with an off-the-shoulder design and full coverage in the front.
“Were they really blind to see the difference?” Amuor asked.
She then changed into the dress that was supposed to match the listing photo, and there were some visible discrepancies.
While the dress did come in a two-piece, just like the Shein listing, the color was different, a lighter green.
Additionally, the design of the top had a deep v-neck in the middle, not full-coverage.
It was also not off-the-shoulder and had a small cut around the waist.
The bottom portion of the set was not flared at the bottom like in the listing as well.
Arguably the most pertinent difference was that the dress did not have ribbing like the photo from Shein.
“Why would they do this,” Amuor asked in a caption for the video.
Several fellow shoppers were shocked to see the order mismatch.
WHAT HAPPENED?
“They did you dirty,” someone wrote.
“Totally different,” another agreed.
“What is going on here,” a third questioned.
Others argued that the dress Amuor actually received from Shein was better than the listing photo.
“The one you got is better than the one you ordered sis,” a consumer said.
“What u got is also nice,” another emphasized.
TARIFF TURMOIL
Shein is known for its affordable pricing on clothes, cosmetics, accessories and more.
Along with competitor Temu, the sites account for about 17% of the discount shopping market in the United States, per a report from the Congressional Research Service.
Except, both have operations out of China.
Considering that, Shein customers were left panicking earlier this year amid President Donald Trump’s announcement of global reciprocal tariffs.
During the brief back-and-forth between the US and China that saw potential tariffs of 145%, the company confirmed in a statement on its website that prices would be increasing for customers starting April 25.
After a new executive order from President Trump the following month, tariffs were reduced to about 54% on Chinese goods, making way for some relief.
Shein is also selling a $12.50 Coach dupe this summer that’s $300 cheaper than the real thing.
A fashion fan also transformed her Shein sandals into flawless Hermes dupes for a low cost.
