Shein prices change in the cart primarily due to several common factors:
- Prices on Shein are dynamic and can change due to demand, stock levels, or promotions, which may not be reflected immediately until items are in the cart.
- Sales tax and shipping fees are often added at checkout after your location and order details are confirmed, resulting in an apparent price increase.
- Some items have variable pricing based on size or color selections, causing price adjustments when specific options are chosen.
- Coupons or promotional discounts may appear initially but can be voided if order conditions are not met at checkout, affecting the final price.
- New import taxes and tariffs can impact pricing for shipments to certain countries as of recent dates (e.g., new U.S. tariffs starting August 29, 2025).
Additionally, Shein may use dynamic pricing algorithms, meaning prices can fluctuate based on user behavior and market trends in real-time. Cart prices reflect the most current charges, which is why the total can change after items are added or selected in the cart. These combined factors explain why Shein prices change in the cart and at checkout, often frustrating shoppers who see differing prices than initially displayed.
