"You can't spend more than R1 000 if you want to order from them. Secondly, I don't like how slow their responses are."

The content creator also said that because it is the festive period, orders will be delayed no matter where you shop online. She added that the delay would increase when using Ship4Less.

Furthermore, the fashion-forward woman stated that there were no discount codes on the website and wrote in her post's caption:

"With Shein, I can immediately clear my cart. Plus, I can also use any discount codes that I find online. This means I pay less for each individual item because of the discount codes."

Some also enjoyed the perks of no customs and not ending up like one shopper who had a very high customs fee.

@wamagcaga told the online community:

"They never ever responded to me. Customer service is important to me."

@tumi6896 said to Namolinah:

"I ordered last week and got mine already."

@harmonybolds shared their thoughts about the plug:

"I have used Ship4Less three times, and I must say, with the current increase in customs, it is super worth it. Yes, no coupons, but the money you save on discounts won’t be enough for customs anyway."

@fxtima_hassan added in the comment section:

"It’s only good for people who are not in a rush. Plus, it doesn’t have the extra money to waste on high customs."

@sekedimonyethabeng said to the app users:

"I'm still going to order directly from Shein because they offer discounts. I'll use those discounts for customs."
