The marketplace will add local and international sellers, enabling faster shipping by incorporating sellers with a physical presence in the U.S. Shein has already attracted notable brands like Anker, offering products at competitive prices compared to Amazon.

To support the marketplace, Shein is building a team in Los Angeles and actively hiring for various positions. While other platforms like Wish and AliExpress have struggled to diversify their assortment with local sellers in the U.S. and Europe, Shein aims to overcome this challenge by combining its established supply chain from China with adding local sellers.
