The overseas shipping lottery
Ordering through overseas brokers on Shein or AliExpress looks tempting until reality sets in: you pay upfront, wait 2 to 4 weeks for air cargo clearing, and pay extra broker handling fees upon arrival in Kampala.
When the package finally arrives, one in three shoppers discovers the size is completely wrong or the fabric looks nothing like the edited studio pictures. And the biggest catch? Returns are virtually impossible once the item arrives in Uganda.
