I’ve just started making and playing around with journaling. Not the traditional style of writing my deepest, darkest thoughts. Ugh. No. Just NO.
Instead, I’m more interested in making things using cute/pretty pictures, words, bits and pieces, more along the lines of junk journaling, making glue books, collages, index or Rolodex cards, master boards, collage rolls. Another words, ‘making little arty things like books/journals with no purpose and for no reason’. Ha.
Now for my question. In light of the fact that I am not looking for archival or top quality products, has anyone ordered from Shein.com? I am in some FB groups where individuals have ordered from there. So far, the little I’ve read, is that it does take a significant amount of time to receive your order, but most people seem pretty happy. I want to buy little notebooks, washi tape, stickers, etc. These will be just for me and just for play. I won’t be selling or gifting any of this to anyone, ever. I really don’t mind waiting. I just wondered if anyone here had any experience with this company. They have lots of cute and pretty things.

I have purchased clothing & accessories from them before. You get what you pay for, and the quality in the clothing varies widely. I imagine their stationery would be the same way. It is coming from overseas but my orders have never taken super-long to arrive -- usually just a couple weeks. I think the longest I had to wait was about 3 weeks around Christmas.

My dd has ordered clothes from them as well and we don't remember the wait being terrible. The clothes ended up being too small but they were really cute!
I'd say make a small order and just see what you get, and of course come tell us! LOL

I have ordered clothes for my daughter and scrapbooking supplies and no problems at all. Shipping time isn’t too bad even coming from Hong Kong

Well, I placed an order last night (2/22/22). Mostly stickers and a cute little mini binder I saw a paper crafter use to make a mini journal. Est shipping is Mar 7 - Mar 9.
I’ll update when I receive my package.

I haven't ordered from shein, but have had good luck with craft supplies from Aliexpress. I make sure to check the store rating is high and haven't had a problem. The most it took was about two months in the middle of the pandemic.
They do have a lot of what you are looking for.

Careful buying from Ali express. Someone tested their dies in a lab and the Ali express ones contained high level of banned substances and were toxic 😱😱😱
