Can Shein Pick Up From Where It Left Off 5 Years Ago?
- Shein is back to cash in on the fast fashion boom after 5 years ban. This time, Reliance Retail is monitoring supply chain logistics and data security.
- Shein has returned as a standalone app and has already been launched in New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
- Local firms such as Zara and H&M had enough time to flourish during Shein’s years of exile that could impact Shein's market capture.
- Being an online-only model could be a hurdle for Shein's unit economics as fast fashion has a lower average selling price and high return rates.
- Shoppers prefer seeing and feeling products before purchase, as Shein has no physical presence, it may need to take longer to build trust and convince customers about quality and fit.
- It has been allowed to relaunch on the condition that it will source all products only from India and make sure all consumer data remains in India.
- It could take one to two years to establish a reliable pan-India supply chain and delivery model, says Elara Capital report.
- Shein will face competition from D2C players and brand aggregators such as Fable Street and Mensa Brands, respectively.
- Price, quality, and convenience will play a crucial role in Shein's success.

Some shoppers are using loopholes to avoid paying for clothes online — and retailers are fighting back
- Some young consumers are trying to make their money go further by taking advantage of retail loopholes such as returning items after wearing them once, using chargeback services on credit cards — or even pretending they didn't receive the things they ordered.
- In response, some retailers are hitting back by imposing stricter return policies and fees.
- Some consumers are reportedly engaging in a practice called "digital shoplifting."
- Returns are also a headache for retailers as it takes time and money to transport products back to warehouses, assess their condition, issue refunds, repackage and ship them to a new customer, or liquidate, donate, recycle, or dispose of them.
- Route's State of Ecommerce Report 2024 report found that Gen Z is the most likely cohort to engage in "wardrobing" — buying items with the intent to return them after wearing them.
- In response, some companies have started adding tags or ribbons to items to prevent them from being returned once worn or charging customers if they send back items too often.
- It's a difficult balance to strike as many consumers like to purchase multiple items from online stores because they're not sure of the sizing and don't want to be penalized for returns.
- Asos started telling some customers last year that they could not make any more orders if they had returned too many things too often.
- Other retailers cracking down on repeat refunders include Oh Polly, Zara, and PrettyLittleThing.
- Route can help brands create profiles for customers, Yamartino said, so loyal customers aren't affected, and others are invited to pay a small amount upfront rather than hefty fees.
