    It can get expensive to buy packing cubes, toiletry bags, a packable backpack, and a sling before your next trip. But while you’ll save lots of money shopping on discount sites like Temu, we wondered how much quality takes a hit. We got our hands on some travel products to see if it’s worth exploring, or if you’re better off saving your pennies for a high-quality version.
    Check out all of our sponsors here 👉 packhacker.com/deals/
    *Temu is a third-party e-commerce marketplace like Amazon. It doesn’t own or manufacture any of the products on its website.

    Would you buy travel gear from Temu? 📦✈

      I have bought and everything was for garbage. One order and never again…

      @JoyJoable หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      Nope 🙅🏻‍♀️ I rather save the money and invests in good quality gear, even the $0.50. It feels like paying to produce more waste because you know the items are not going to last.
      Thanks for the review tho 😬

      I don't use my rolling suitcase for most trips anymore, but gosh darn, I totally would love to have those rubber wheel covers. Sometimes I had to catch a bus to the airport at like 2am and the noise of my rolling luggage at night was obnoxious and I felt sorry for whoever had to hear my rolling... The surface near my house is just very uneven and super noisy for any harder suitcase wheels.
      They see me rollin... they hatin'...
      I'd say no to any other product tho.
      I'd love to see video on clothing brands - something that has right materials, but is from a cheaper/unknown brand than big names.

    Hey Lauren! Hey Tom! So, what I will say is that I don't really care so much about bargain items so much. Lauren and I had this discussion when I visited HQ. I prefer to purchase and invest in quality for the long term, reduce waste, and encourage re-use. But what I will say is that watching you both interact completely off script is the only thing PackHacker has been missing. Its cool to just hear these ad-hoc conversations around products by two people experts in the industry. Great video! I hope you all area doing great!

    I like the conversation style of these videos more than your planned videos. As I am not a native speaker, it is very challenging to follow you on your planned videos. But these are way more easy for me to understand. And I like the surprise effect within the conversation.
    The rubber cover looked very good for me. My case is a very noisy one and not easy to roll.

    Respect for being honest and casual, this is a great approach and I prefer it to your usual video style. Also, respect for showing off more realistic options for customers rather than constantly just pushing expensive brands like your channel used to. Come a long way. Big W 👏.

    The trouble with many Chinese knockoffs is that initially they are of good quality but after a period of time they start to maximize the profit at the cost of quality . So buy these items soon after they appear . If you wait they won't be as good

      Yes have found this to be very true, some knockoffs are impeccable and others are hideous flimsy tat. Sunglasses bags edc knives watches. But Ali & DHGate have some outrageously good knockoffs and originals quite often.

    Great video… fun to watch. I shop on TEMU for knick knacks like zipper pulls, velcro cord organizers, spray bottles, and an array of pouches. Haven’t been disapointed yet. I wouldn’t purchase anything more than $5 though.
    I will say that TEMU vendors do supply a lot of overpriced Amazon items… people buy them from temu for low and mark them up for Amazon resale… so theres that… a lot of items on Amazon quite litterally come from the same vendors.

  • @AAJKFilms
    @AAJKFilms หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I’ve bought from Temu before and honestly it has never failed me surprisingly. Like there are things that I thought were alittle sketchy and may break like the compression cubes I bought but after many uses… it works lol I tend to go things that are reviewed/bought the most so I can see how the item really is. I also tend to have low expectations for Temu products which is prob why I find more enjoyment out of the items.

  • @michaelludvik
    @michaelludvik หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Love the video. I had the suitcase wheels on a recent trip to Japan and found they have a flaw - if your wheels are close to (but above) the minimum size recommended, the rubber will rotate at a different rate to the wheel. This means the rubber will work its way off your wheel. I lost 1 in the arrival airport, and the remainder shortly after. That said, they'd probably work well if your suitcase has bigger wheels

    I get astonished of how cheap things are flushed into the market for a lot of different reasons, be it as a independent bagmaker myself knowing how much of work and time and materials are needed to get it done, and in this case how many people are required to. But 2 dollars? 6 dollars? i know little "small" brands sometimes go far beyond the limits of pricing their products and they are free to do it, but jeez 6 dollars? Multiply those human made goods by 4 or 5 and we could start talking other than labor issues.

    So I bought similar zipper "repair" kit and they worked great for the broken beanbag chair zipper I had. The "handle" or tag or whatever its called part of the zipper broke off and couldn't get enough leverage to unzip otherwise. The zipper thing made it so much easier. Are they great no. But work in a pinch. Probably could have used a heavy duty safety pin or plyers but this is a slightly nicer quick cheap fix. Love the way that suitcase looks. Def going to check out your carry on luggage vid now!

    As best I can tell, the sellers on TEMU are the same sellers on Wish, Ali Express, and, yes, Amazon. I’ve found some of the exact same products on Amazon for more money (in many departments, not just travel).
    I will agree with Tom about the sling and packable day pack, in that it’s worth trying to see if that kind of item is for you. (Although, not gonna lie, kinda like those rubber bands for the suitcase wheels. Don’t know how long they’d last against sidewalks and cobblestones though. Lol!)
    Also agreeing with everyone about the more casual, candid approach to this video. Feels like being in a room with your friends, just having a conversation about stuff.

    The last item isn't being used properly, I have a number of these (not from Temu via amazon) and they work great as long as they are used properly. The loops actually go through the handle and hold your second item in place. I think a better Pic and example will be found on Amazon but these straps help tame my carry on when I fly, they only thing I would question is the quality of the elastic.

    I’m very careful with my money and scrutinize everything that I buy online. Realizing that so much of what we use is made in China, I decided to give Temu a try. I check and double-check the descriptions, measurements, materials, reviews, etc, and so far have made some good purchases* at great prices. In some cases, I was able to identify the same product on Amazon and saved money by getting it from Temu instead. I always go directly to their website on my laptop as opposed to downloading the app on my phone.

      You don't know because there are millions of items on Temu. I especially like buying kitchen tools from Temu because it's good quality and so much more affordable. e.g. a balloon whisk by OXO is sold for $11 while you can get a decent one for $2 on Temu.

    Didn't see comment here, but you totally put the last one on incorrectly. It actually works really well by looping 1 end over handle, then cradling the bag with it - pulling top through top loop of backpack & then stretching over luggage handle. Just used on my 2 week trip that included a combo of 4 flights & 2 train rides. Saved me.

    Regarding the 4.5 star rating on the zipper kit, how does temu phrase their request for product ratings? For example, aliexpress asks “how was the shipping” and never “how is the product.” So I never believe their ratings because it’s an inaccurate statement and request.

    Before I had learned more about the company, I had ordered some items from them for a trip on an airline I had never been on before. They were the only place I could find a backpack that would fit the personal item req'd for Aer Lingus (just different enough from any other airline I had ever flown on before - and smaller than any others I researched but had not flown with before). I had looked in all the stores in my area, on Amazon and some of the sites for products you guys have discussed here before. Nothing! I was able to get one for myself and one each for my 2 daughters that would work for us to travel our usual carry-on only style. I also got a pair of graduated compression socks, and a foot hammock. It was all really great quality and we still use the backpacks daily. Since recent information has come to light about their company practices, would I continue to order from them? Not unless I had no other option for a necessary item, and even them I would try and make due with something comparable from another retailer. It's unfortunate, but this is what happens when you want a bargain basement price on goods. No one is policing companies like this when they can get what they want at the lowest possible price.

    It's hard to thread the needle sometimes between recommending quality products and recommending affordable products. Really appreciate videos like this that demonstrate why bottom of the barrel is often not worth your hard-earned money.

    • @se7enzee444
      @se7enzee444 หลายเดือนก่อน

    • @EverythingIsPhotogenic
      @EverythingIsPhotogenic หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      No one is acting "better than anyone." Temu"s business practices involve deliberately selling products at a loss to gain market share. This forces small businesses (Amazon is not the only competitor) to compete in a manipulated market. Temu isn't in it for the consumer, they are in it for the long term valuation of their brand. The prices they market are not sustainable for the manufacturers and suppliers to cover overhead, even on cheap goods. And it will not be the long-term price for Temu, as once they have the market share, they won't continue to operate at a loss.
      The consequence is that they will train consumers to believe that the value of these goods is much lower than it is and they will come to demand it everywhere, all while remaining frustrated with low wages in the workforce and poor quality control. MSRPs are intended to make a profit, yes... that's how capitalism works... but if you truly think Amazon or other retailers are taking a 10X markup on most of their goods, you lack a fundamental understanding of economics.
      Do a mere 10 minutes of research, people with no skin in this game have done a lot of the work for you. They have nothing to gain from badmouthing Temu, neither do the commenters here. It's principle.

      @@EverythingIsPhotogenic Thinking that ordering from Temu or any other affordable option is inherently wrong is a mindset that's deeply rooted in classism. Here's why:
      1. Financial Accessibility: Not everyone has the same financial means. What might seem like a trivial expense to some could be a significant investment for others. Ordering from affordable options like Temu might be the only feasible choice for individuals who are on a tight budget or facing financial constraints.
      2. Diverse Circumstances: People come from various backgrounds and circumstances. Assuming that everyone can afford to shop from high-end brands or luxury stores overlooks the realities faced by many individuals. Some people prioritize spending their money on essentials like rent, bills, or healthcare, leaving little room for splurging on expensive items.
      3. Judgment-Free Choices: Every individual has the right to make choices that align with their budget and priorities without facing judgment. Whether someone chooses to order from Temu or a luxury brand, it's important to respect their decisions and refrain from imposing personal biases or societal standards.
      4. Breaking Stereotypes: Classist attitudes perpetuate stereotypes and reinforce social divides. By dismissing affordable options as inferior or "wrong," we contribute to a culture that marginalizes individuals based on their economic status. It's crucial to challenge these biases and promote inclusivity and understanding instead.
      Ultimately, it's essential to recognize that consumer choices are deeply intertwined with personal circumstances, and judging others based on their shopping preferences only serves to perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Let's strive to foster empathy, respect, and acceptance towards diverse perspectives and circumstances.

    I have similar packing cubes I bought on Amazon and the two with the straps are useful but the rest of the set just doesn't make sense. I also have some of those zipper pulls I bought on Shien. They are OK for a temporary solution, like if you're travelling and your zipper breaks and you don't want to get a replacement until you get home but we tried using one to repair my husband's tablet bag and it broke after a week. I agree with you that TEMU would be good for people who are starting to travel and might not have money to invest in decent gear, but I think seasoned travelers should just stay away!

      @@bambino5912 Interesting you have the feeling to protect Temu in all comments. Anyways, I know what you are referring to, but there is indeed a difference between Amazon and Temu. Amazon has 3 ways on selling products on their platform. Amazon as the retailer only works with trusted brands, whereas on Amazon as a marketplace indeed Chinese companies can offer their product. Temu sees themselves as a cheap fast-product company pushing overconsumption with gamification, additional rewards when referring, etc. All the retailers are engaging in some environmental project, whereas Temu advertises with planting trees through an organization for which you as a customer can donate some cents to. For me, that's a little too less.

I have two of these and they work great, but you have to use them the right way. Amazon sells a number of different brands and there are videos that demonstrate the use.
