    I have spent WAY too much money with Temu and I have been disappointed in very, very little. They carry items I have bought from Amazon for considerably more money. They do ship quickly and give you $5 if you don't receive it in a timely manner. At least so far, I am very, very happy with them.

      Wow, so you're OK with importing things that haven't been subject to the same safety inspections that normal retailers are subject to. You're OK handling lead and cadmium.
      When you buy from normal retailers, those retailers are required by law in many countries to eliminate slave labor from their supply chains. But Temu doesn't have to do that. The products on Temu wouldn't pass muster with regular companies which is why they're there. So this means you are OK with slave labor. I hope you sleep at night knowing your goal of saving a little money means literal exploitation.

    I always keep a measuring tape handy when ordering fromTemu. They make pictures of several items and the pictures look blown up, when you get your measuring tape and check out the measurements on the item, you're like, "oh" . Maybe not! 😁 This will definitely keep you from disappointments down the road!

      I am also curious about where you shop... also I hope you don't have a cell phone because your phone was most likely made, at least in part, in China. Also, what are you typing this on and how are you watching this video? Most computers are also made, at least in part, in China. Even a lot of the processed food we eat and medicine we take in the USA come from China (or at least a few of the ingredients come from China). The only difference with Temu is you are not giving the companies making a profit on the Chinese products more money. Do some research into where the products you buy / own come from!

      I believe I’ve placed an order every day since I found the site. That’s only been a week or so. But if the number of orders I place is low (it’s not) then the number of items I purchase each time makes up for it. I’ve only received my first shipment so far, and I’ve been pleased with everything. You are totally correct about the danger! I usually add everything I like to my cart, then go away and chill for a while. Later, hopefully, my clearer head will prevail, and I will delete a few things. They try to talk me out of it. When I say to continue checkout, I enter another danger zone. They bring up pages of stuff I may have “forgotten” to order. They got me figured out right away. Somehow they know what I like and didn’t see. 😂 I just have to stay strong. This is so much fun!

    This was great - I love the fact that you don't try to create a gotcha moment or unnecessary drama. I've just started ordering from Temu and so far have been really pleased. I ordered a plastic snake for under a buck that literally pulled up so much disgusting junk in my drains. Did every drain in my house, the stick is a little worn but still good to be used again, and I saved myself hundreds in having a pro come snake them for me.
    Loved this because I was leery of the crafting items and your post really helped me see that the items are mostly quality and useable.
    I will say to anyone thinking about ordering from Temu, the only thing to be wary of is some brands - for instance, they advertise "Squishmallow" but the stuffies are definitely knock-offs and not nearly the same quality or that unique squishmallow stuffing that is perfect for many autistic people.
    Other than that, and the sizing being Chinese and so kind of hit and miss for US (esp plus size), I've enjoyed shopping there.
    Two problems I've found as other comments have mentioned: Some stuff is priced so low that you order it even if you REALLY don't need it. I have so many cool pieces of costume jewelry...and I don't wear jewelry. LOL. I'll give them to my kids who have the same taste (goth meets hello kitty meets wicca), but seriously, should not be buying that stuff! And number two, if something doesn't work out, when you go to return, if you used a coupon, it's just so little money you'll get back for the time it takes to do the return, you end up just keeping the item a lot of times. As much as my local Buy Nothing group will love the things I got that don't fit, it's still wasted money. Admittedly, both of these are ME problems and not Temu's but I'm just warning you in advance to be prepared to say, "oh yeah, that commenter was SO right, I do that too" ;-). As long as you accept this as "entertainment" fees for an enjoyable shopping experience...you're still probably coming out way ahead of what you'd have paid at a Brick and Mortar, or even on Amazon.
    For anyone used to Amazon's prime shipping, though, the wait between ordering and getting is SUPER LONG. Not gonna lie, we're spoiled rotten, but if you need something quickly, Amazon or a local store is the best option. Just saying.

      I've gotten both clothes and shoes. I've found most tops and pants run true to size. I wear an 18 US, and Temu calls that 3x. I've found that if the item is more close fitting or has fitted arms to go up a size, because I'm busty and have heavy arms. But most stuff fits fine at the normal size. I do pay attention to the measurements, because they are not always consistent from one shop to another. As to shoes, the sizes are all over. Measure your foot length in centimeters and go by that. They always give the centimeters in addition to the size. Quality wise, I'm very happy for the prices!

    I have spent so much money on this website 😩
    The quality of the clothes is amazing. I have a 5 year old granddaughter that I have spent lots of money on for little cute dresses summer outfits and shoes.
    I have found that if your orders are larger sometimes they do not make it to you on time.
    The company has given me the $5 credit many have times which then I just turn around and order something that is more high-dollar than their normal things to see what they are like. I highly recommend this website for anyone that is on a tight budget.🎉

I think all told my order came to less than $20.00. It came quickly and everything was above expectations! The wax melting spoon is beautiful! It is a vintage style in brass, and it has a great weight to it when I hold it. The marble is the same- beautiful and functional. The pencils I was truly impressed with- I had never seen this kind before. They are really nice and very cheaply priced.

      The more we purchase from these companies because we need to pay next to nothing for our junk, the more the people who make this,junk will be treated HORRIBLY. I know that doesn’t matter when you’re getting you’re cheap junk and it’s Asians, it’s no big deal, right?

      @@debannas4567 Can you tell us why you were disappointed. In what way was the quality inferior? What item did you buy?

    I’ve also ordered the real leather purse and a faux leather bad. Love them both!

    I buy from Temu all the time I love everything I have bought. They are easy to work with if your order is lost they will replace your order with no problem.

    Any way for you to check toxicity of items? I am curious to know if anything has toxic materials in them that we need to be concerned about, as some stamps I purchased from wish smelled highly toxic. Even years later!

      Send them to a lab to be tested, use one of the lead test pens. Otherwise, nothing from there will be organic. Just like anything, purchase at your own risk.

    I spruced up my living room with Temu... very fast delivery and I'm pleased with what I got. Also got a few dies and they're perfect. Sitting on my hands to keep from ordering more!

    I have bought a lot from TEMU and I love them! Many things I have seen but didn't want to pay the price no complaints at all! Last to try was clothing not expecting high end but bought pj's for my daughter and myself and we both love them.
