A woman in Michigan received an online shopping order from the well-known clothing website SHEIN, and when her package came in the mail, she got more than just a dress. Six pieces of paper fell out of the bag with a concerning message.

On January 20, a woman named Amanda (@michigansmiles84) posted her delivery on TikTok along with the messages that came with it.

The papers read, "You are going to die in this suit."

"I am scared and worried and called local police. This is not a joke. I will not be wearing or trying on this dress, even if it is a joke," she captioned the post and tagged the company, asking what it was all about.

#shein @shein_official #sheinhaul #sheingals #sheinfashionweek @SHEIN_Official @SHEIN_News @SHEIN_Japan please explain the attatched video. I ordered on Jan 15th, this dress and others. Upon opening the inner Shein package, 6 pieces of folded over papers fell out. I am scared and worried and called local police. This is not a joke. I will not be wearing or trying on this dress, even if it is a joke. #worried and not my first time ordering from Shein

5.7 million people viewed the video, and the creator posted an update saying that she still has a large order on the way, but this piece came separately.

She did receive another item from her bulk purchase a couple of days later, but there were no notes in the bag.

She also said that she's been reaching out to the company and after days of no response, on January 24, she finally got a hold of a live chat representative who mentioned that a supervisor would email her.

A spokesperson wrote to Narcity:

"We are in the process of investigating this claim and have reached out to this customer for more information."*

Shein dress update. I'm waiting for a reply from a supervisor rep. I contacted to let them be known of what happened. #shein #sheindressnotes #sheindress #update

Amanda still has the dress and said she doesn't know if she'll start the return process or just burn it altogether.

Her last update said that she is still waiting on a response from management.

Narcity reached out to the creator requesting comment on the matter and is awaiting a response.
