A woman was shocked to discover a dead cockroach in her Shein delivery just days after a student found a live scorpion in her parcel from the fast fashion brand.Amy Jowett had ordered a pair of joggers online, but when she opened the packaging the dead insect fell out.She first thought it was a ‘big moth’ before quickly realising it was a cockroach.Ms Jowett, from Langport, Somerset, said it was ‘gross’ and horrible’.When opening her other parcels from Shein, she said she used ‘pincer fingers’ and gave it a ‘good shake out’ as she was ‘paranoid’ there were going to be more insects inside. Amy Jowett had ordered a pair of joggers online, but when she opened the packaging a huge dead insect fell out (seen above) Sofia Alonso-Mossinger, 18, was opening a package containing a pair of boots from the fast-fashion brand when she saw the scorpionShe told the BBC she thought: ‘What is going on here, I didn’t order any bugs.’The Langport resident added: ‘It’s ridiculous that there’s just been a scorpion found and now this.’Shein said it was in touch with Ms Jowett to resolve the issue. MailOnline has reached out for more information.Four days ago, Sofia Alonso-Mossinger, 18, was opening a package containing a pair of boots from the fast-fashion brand when she spotted the scorpion.The University of Bristol student saw it underneath the clothing and she quickly summoned her housemates for help.Flatmate and zoology student Oliver James quickly grabbed the insect with a pair of kitchen tongs before placing it in a plastic box.Unfortunately when he called his professor for advice, even she didn’t have a solution, so the group resorted to poking holes in the container so it could breathe.Shocking footage shows the venomous creature running around the container with its claws and tail in a bid to flee. It ran round the container with its claws and tail in a bid to fleeReliving the moment, Ms Alonso-Mossinger told the BBC: ‘I thought I was dreaming.’I feel like I am all right with spiders and things but it was scary being in my room with a random scorpion.’Oliver, who made the brave bid to transfer the scorpion, spoke of how ‘nerve wracking’ it was to deal with the pest with no idea of its venomousness.Phoebe Hunt – also 18 – hurried to her flatmates side after hearing screams, finding the live scorpion rattling around the package.Ms Hunt confessed she suggested they kill the scorpion at first.’Then everyone pointed out that wasn’t the most humane thing so we scooped it up and put it in a Tupperware,’ she added.While they planned what to do with the animal, the university students fed the insect water via a kitchen paper towel.The group initially called the RSPCA before coming to the realisation that it was an issue better suited to the National Centre for Reptile Welfare (NCRW) .Chris Newman of the NCRW told the publication: ‘The scorpion is Olivierus martensii, it doesn’t really have a common name other than Chinese scorpion.’He later explained whilst a sting from the insect could be ‘potentially life threatening’ most adults would simply have a very bad day.’It is quite worrying is this is the second one we have had in under a month that has come in this way,’ he added.It is understood Shein are currently investigating the matter across several departments.A spokesperson said: ‘SHEIN is committed to providing our customers with quality products and services.’We have a set of strict product quality inspection standards and procedures. Our suppliers are required to comply with these standards and SHEIN aims to ensure that our products and packaging meet high standards of cleanliness and sanitisation.’We work closely with reputable last mile delivery partners so that our customers are able to receive their purchases in good condition.’After receiving the feedback, we immediately conducted an internal investigation.’Our teams on the ground have checked the shipment packing process and carried out an inspection of the goods in our warehouse and have confirmed that all standard operating processes have been adhered to.’We are currently in contact with the affected customer to resolve this issue.’
