Temu and Shein Raised Prices, Removed Products as Trump's China Tariffs Went Into Effect
Briefly

Recent reports indicate that a significant number of items on Shein's platform are becoming unavailable, particularly, cosmetics and hair products. Shoppers like Lorianna Calhoun have noticed that items on wish lists disappear, prompting concerns about product selection and inventory transparency. Despite the issues, customers express continued support for Shein and Temu, hoping that prices remain stable. Ecommerce shipping from China to the US is more efficient than ever, with many packages arriving within days, indicating a shift in market logistics.
"Usually, when things sell out, you can still click the item and see all the reviews and stuff. But for the lashes, it now says, 'Sorry this item has been removed.'"
"Shein and Temu will still get my business. If they up their prices, hopefully it will only be a bit."
"These companies have perfected this modern miracle, which is shipping from China to the US in a very consistent and reliable fashion."
"In 2023, one-third of de minimis shipments that arrived in the US came from China, many via air cargo in as little as a few days."
