## Key points

- Shein will invest €500 million in its Polish logistics hub.
- The site is expected to employ over 10,000 people by 2026.
- EU charges on low-value parcels have risen to €5.

## Summary

Shein plans to invest €500 million in expanding its European logistics hub in Poland, aiming to speed up deliveries and make its operations more flexible. The move comes as the European Union raises charges on low-value parcels from online retailers, seeking to address what it says is unfair competition.

The expansion near Wroclaw is expected to bring the site’s workforce to more than 10,000 and its fleet to 6,500 autonomous robots by the end of 2026. The EU introduced a €3 charge on parcels worth less than €150 in July and added €2 on 1 November. Shein said customers in some markets will receive goods stored at the hub within 48 hours; its European sales fell sharply in the second quarter, contributing to a 67 per cent drop in net profit.
