Has anyone ordered from shein an then done returns? I got two things going back from two totally separate orders but only got one code for them, the way it seems it looks like I can send both together as the one parcel but am unsure as it was different orders, also all is says is to show the post office the QR code, is that really all it is? Am not sure how my post office is going feel about that lol

If you selected them both at the same time when processing the return then yes they will go in the same parcel. A lotnof companies have started doing this now, presumably because it costs them less in postage.

And yes just show the post office the QR code. You should have the option to print the label if you are worried but the QR code works a dream. They weigh it and print the label stick it on and give you proof of postage/tracking back

I swear there used to be a fashion advice thread but I can't find it, anyway.... Has anyone ever ordered from Cider? I keep getting ads on IG and the clothes look nice but perhaps too cheap to be as nice as they appear?

Very hit and miss.
I did do a couple of returns with no issue and they offer store credit.
I do have a huge bust and small lower half so that was half my returns but the quality was shocking on a couple of items but great on most.
Its a little pricey for the quality, but I would check Shein before ordering with Cider as they have similar clotting for cheaper.

I’d go into store and speak to a human!
 
Folks, have come home from hospital destroyed with residue from the tape they used for the cannula, IV lines etc. I’ve scrubbed my skin raw to no avail. Anything I might have laying around the house (or could get in supermarket) that might sort it out? My arms and chest are wrecked!

Vodka?

Normally works quite well to remove sticky residue

Or drink enough that the residue no longer bothers me…

Ooooh didn’t know such things existed. They don’t ship to my part of the world but shall have a look and see if I can get the equivalent locally.

Maybe surgical spirit?? I've used it before to get oil paint off my hands

Fairy liquid on a flannel and dilute slightly, rub in small circular motions. Make sure you wash with a bar of soap afterwards and apply an emollient cream.

Mayo or something oily gets rid of sticker residue. Or nail varnish remover if it’s like hard glue.

Have not tried personally but waterproof eye make up remover will remove hair dye from skin. And surgical spirit should remove sticky stuff. Witch hazel is a possible

not tried personally. there are a few other possibles but not designed for skin

Can anyone recommend decent shapewear? Something for tummy and a bit of thigh would be good. Also has to be seamless. TIA 😊

For my wedding day I bought Primark and it was excellent. Comfy (ish 😂) did the job, reasonably priced.

Marks and Spencers have a really good range. Including a high waisted shorts type style (or they did when I last bought some).
