PARIS, Nov 4 : Online fashion retailer Shein said on Wednesday it would invest €500 million ($562 million) to expand its European logistics hub in Poland as it pursues faster deliveries and greater operational flexibility.
Shein, along with Chinese competitors such as Temu and AliExpress, is adapting to charges imposed in July to curb what the EU says is unfair competition from online retailers.
• The EU initially introduced a €3 fee for parcels worth less than €150, and increased the levy by €2 on November 1
• Shein's sales in Europe dropped sharply in the second quarter, contributing to a 67 per cent net profit fall
