I have to say I order from Temu all the time for my business. I have always been pleased with my purchases and when I haven’t been they’ve handled returns really well.
19:45 if you go to a hardware store and get one of those magnet strips to attach to your jewelry bench there perfect for holding the wire jig pieces and also Dremel tool bits as well 💖
I love matching Sultanite (the color changing/dichroic) gems with copper. Sultanite makes a great substitute for the much more expensive Zultanite. I have been statisfied with most of what I have received. You do need to be sure to read reviews, because some vendors are more honest about their products than others. I try to review most of what I get. If you see my name on a review, it is a straight-up, honest review.
I’ve only ever been disappointed with two things. 1) not all clothing/ shoes are quality. Many of the beads don’t give an exact size. I ordered 2-3mm and got 1mm. Other than that, the quality has been very good.
I've ordered some tools and storage items from Temu that were exactly the same as what Amazon was selling for a lot more money! (and I have the same shirt you're wearing! 😂)
Next time you are cracking the agate nodules try putting the screwdriver on the sides where the natural cracks in the stone are and they should break open quite easily for you 🥰
Me either but have heard problems with them storing and selling data but so do most places. Ordered from them twice and have been quite happy with stuff.
Yay I finally got the first comment❤🎉 Hi Christina I love your content I've been watching you since I began my jewelry making journey❤ And OMG 😳 my whole family calls me squirrel 🐿️ because of my many many adhd "squirrel" moments😂😂 LoL they say great minds think alike right😂
@shabanahussain4707 They have been aggressively advertising and astroturfing to give themselves fast brand recognition and "credibility," but they are an incredibly shady company. In addition to the terribly unethical business practices in general (exploiting vendors, CERTAINLY relying on modern-day slave labor to keep costs low, and polluting with reckless abandon), they could be a huge security risk for customers. The BBB has suggested that Temu could be a big risk for identity theft of customers, and they do participate in data harvesting. As well, at least in the U.S., Temu exploits import law loopholes to sell products that would not normally pass the country's health and safety regulations. Dangerous amounts of toxic chemicals have been found in products from companies like Shein, Temu, and so on. If that's not enough, many products sold on Temu are simply counterfeit. They are not what they claim to be. Especially in jewelry, it is easy to get away with because most people do not have the means to test if their stones are counterfeit, and hey, they got it for like $2 anyway so even if it is, oh well. This is bad for creators, though, who sell items made with these products, because it makes them seem shady to discerning customers as well. The company itself is built on an unsustainable business model that completely relies on high volumes of useless trash being sold as quickly as possible, and cuts every corner possible, often illegally and unethically so. It's a monster of consumption that does nothing but contribute to the further destruction of society and the planet, and I mean that sincerely. Put simply, if a deal seems too good to be true, it is, ESPECIALLY in the case of these ultra-cheap-product Chinese companies. It's truly frustrating seeing all these "influencers" fall so head over heels for such a disgusting company. Any quick google search can show a whole slew of problems and criticisms of Temu and the business model it uses.
They're sort of the art supply equivalent of fast fashion. The supply chain tends to be dubious from an environmental/ethical standpoint and the quality tends to be hit or miss. Personally, I tend to avoid shopping there, but if money is tight and you can't afford to shop elsewhere, it's fine.
Where do you think beads stores in the US and other countries get their beads? Yep, China. I have never seen a bead marked as US product. Why not buy from the source and save a lot.

Thanks for this! I’ve been happy with all the things I’ve gotten from TEMU.
I have the same nylon jaw pliers, they work very well. Love that they come with replacement tips

Haha I am the same way as you when it comes to gems, finding them, and wishing I could go right in and see them with my own eyes!
The puzzles would make great pet tags
I have been wondering about Temu, if the items were really good or not, now I will find out! Thanks :D

Christine, The wire jig helps save your hands.
You can walk in cabes in mecico that look like that.
Purple is my favorite color also
So glad you whacked those open! I couldn't wait to see what was inside! So cool! Thank you for sharing!😊

Do you know if they sell just the replacement pads for the nylon jaw pliers? I have the pliers & they are worn out & need new pads.
I got mine from eBay. I imagine Amazon sell them too
Funny. I ordered almost all the same beads lol.
Can’t wait to see what you make with the jig😀

I’ve never had a problem with Temu. I only order a little bit at a time though.

There's a way to order to them without giving them your info.....
13:15 they look like mystic fire topaz when they're a mixture of the orange and purple colors🥰💖
Purple is my favorite color.
Thank you for the video.
❤
Agate Nodules 🥰🥰i love these

What kind of stone?
80% of the beads and rocks I got from Temu were fake.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm disappointed to see temu got you too. You need to do research on these shopping sites before doing hauls and ads with them.
May I ask why. I am nervous about ordering from Temu and when you watch videos promoting it. You kinda think it must be ok.
@@shabanahussain4707 I love my hauls. Yes, I know I give them personal info, but I figure they already have it.

I'm unsubscribing! Can't believe your putting this video out!
Can you tell me why you hate Temu? I am really interested this topic🧐
Is Temu so bad?
