      OK thanks for info - I hadn’t seen the other comments. As far as Temu goes they seem like copies of products where the originators have put money, design and time into producing quality products. To just rip off others designs with cheaply sourced materials and poorly paid workers just seems wrong on so many levels. I often wonder if it isn’t a way to launder money and sell credit card info to other nefarious entities.

      The difference in products from China sold in stores is that many imported items require that a tariff is paid on the import. It doesn’t change the forced labor situation, but it does help give US manufacturers some equality.

    You spoke my thoughts about TEMU about Labor conditions I try to go to thrift stores ,garage sales and estate sales to cut back on my buying new from China. I can find too many lovely items at these locations that keep me from needing to go to box and chain stores. Advertising make us “want” so much more that we really don’t “need” I think about our garbage disposal sites! Seriously a major problem. BTY… I love shopping too but…my conscience 🤷‍♀️

The rest of the world are making China rich. They have nuclear weapons and one day they will not think twice about using them. I believe in trying to buy home made produce if possible.

    I am angry because someone got hold of my debit card and used it on Temu. I have no idea how, but they charged $135. It's been a month and Temu still won't give it back. I had to get a new card, of course. I had it in my possession all the time and have never even been on their website. You make a good point about China. What makes me mad is because we even get most of our drugs for prescriptions from there. We need to make our own here in the USA so we won't have to depend on China!!!

    • @SF-cb7ep
      @SF-cb7ep ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Your debit card bank should refund that fraudulent charge. My debit card was stolen (along with the wallet) and 3 charges made using it before I realized it and cancelled it, and all refunded. The bank said without the pin it can still be used as a credit card. Of course, another card with new number was issued to me. Ive also had my visa credit card number used without the actual card being stolen, and those charges were all reversed when I contacted my credit card company. Our numbers are out there online at times because of leaks from various companies that have occurred. It's been in the news very often.

    Patti - Happy Mother's Day! Much respect for the way you explain your decision making process. I believe that is one of the many reasons you appeal to so many people - you are genuine, approachable, kind, non-judgmental, gorgeous ... and so much more. You could easily wear the last set of jewelry you wore in the video to dinner on a cruise and be fabulous! I never take my best jewelry on cruises, it's just too risky. (The safes in the cabins and hotels are easily hacked and of course Maintenance staff have a bypass code.) In a previous video you discussed your toothbrush and included a link. I ordered it and it is everything you said and more, my teeth feel like I had a professional cleaning. Your stamp-of-approval was well-deserved. I also ordered earrings you wore from JTV. They are not diamonds but they are gorgeous! Thank you for your honesty, integrity and for sharing your journey.

      I don't think folks really understand the issue fully. Just because a retailer is charging you a higher price for something does not mean that their suppliers have any better labor conditions. The price you pay for something is no indication of how the labor force making that product was treated. It's actually worse that most retailers in America are sourcing their items from the SAME factories in China and charging a ridiculous markup. At least Shein and Temu are not charging that crazy mark-up. Please don't be fooled because Nordstrom charges more! 😉

    I’ve been following a few TH-camrs and I’ve been buying from Temu before I noticed they were doing Temu hauls BUT finally I found someone who’s closer in age to me!!! You’re the first “older” woman I’ve found on TH-cam!! I think you’ve got a new subscriber!!! I enjoyed listening to you. I’m going to look for the wig video-I’ve had super thick hair my whole life but now I’m getting bald on top in front-I wear a little piece-I may need a full wig soon. Nice to see someone older on here! By the way I’m 67!

    I’m older and recently moved into a cottage and I did not have a lot of the silly little odds and ends. I needed to fix and repair things. Temu has been a wonderful resource especially for things. I would only use a couple times. I’ve also ordered a lot of things for gardening that cost 10 times as much here like Velcro ties for my tomatoes. My son is going to cut down a sumac tree and couple of other 3 inch stumps for me and we didn’t have a saw. I was able to get a fabulous one for seven dollars from Temu and after that will probably never use it. I have not had the problems with ordering that I hear people talk about and I order such cheap things that I don’t even waste my time sending them back, not that I’ve had to. Only once something didn’t come and I notified them and they credited me so I’ve been very happy with Temu for my needs . I certainly wouldn’t order jewelry or clothes but for a little odds and ends around the house they’ve been wonderful. I don’t mind ordering from China because I think I’m ordering from the little man who is struggling to make it and my not ordering is not going to help them at all. Everything we buy practically is from China now. We have made them wealthy and it’s our fault. Hurting the little man is going to have no effect on that.

    Patty, to be honest, the “Gold” set reminds me of vintage Foil jewelry and this version is very attractive on you. Given the right outfit, it would look great on you. I would say it looks more like a reflective shiny yellow color, which to me, looks more acceptable than an attempt at being gold. I liked in on you. I could see it presenting on black, navy blue or royal blue, very well. The silver version, I see presenting very well on pure white.

    One thing you need to be aware of is that jewelry can be very dangerous because of cadmium in the metal alloy they use, they do not have safety standards as we do.

I’ve heard it said that it’s just another way for the Chinese to track our information and infiltrate our bank accounts, etc. I ordered from them and received some fairly decent stuff, but then I deleted it. These websites from China, like TikTok and Temu are scary to me. Idk, maybe I’m too paranoid, but like you said I’d hate to think child laborers are working got nothing making trinkets for Americans to buy, then throw to the side. I kind of liked the necklace and earrings though. On camera, they looked great with your top! Keep up the interesting work and see you soon!❤

That was around 25 years ago or so. Sickening the greed. Like you mentioned, the people making the products are barely paid and work in horrid conditions. ):
