Hii
This is such a fun vid idea you should do it again!!
Does Native support the practices of Temu, SheIn and Wish? I'm surprised that this is the video they agreed to sponsor out of all the others you've made
Native is an awesome deodorant. That is what we use.
Might want to pin this comment
They aren't copying one another. They are copying small, independent designers.
You hit the nail on the head! I have an etsy shop, and I've had to contact other etsy shop owners because Wish was stealing their design and even their photos... it makes me soooo mad that people on etsy do this as well.
Yup. Came here to say this same thing.
Yes! Shein ourmtright copied Love Vera an independent black American designer. It was so sad to see her hard work copied by a company that has questionable labour and has been proven to have lead in their clothing
I was looking for this comment
Of course you HAD to mention her skin colour.
I have absolutely no respect for these companies. I’ve found clothes on Shein with MY design on them, or rather, someone had poorly traced my art and used brighter colors. Even after emailing Shein about it, they were like “ok prove it”, and I did, and their reply was “they’re not exactly the same, so we won’t take them down”. It’s super discouraging. I haven’t looked for my art on Temu or Wish, but they’re probably there.
you can sue for that and it would result in huge changes. such as the companies being forced to pay for stolen designs, removing those designs from their shops entirely, and possibly shutting down the business. It depends on if you and the business are located in the states
@@kri_cal they arent located in the states though and thats how they get away with it. its why theres a whole association of chinese knockoff or dupe products, because it's notoriously difficult to do anything about it. also on top of all that, often times the people getting stolen from are individuals or very small businesses. temu, shein, wish, etc are major megacorporations with millions of dollars to burn, and will gladly drag out any legal battles that do make it through to drag out until the victims dont want to keep paying legal fees in years-long battles. its much easier said than done and thats how they get away with it.
Sure Jan, like in the 100s of thousands years and gazillions of populations that we have had on this planet. Your designed clothes are unique! Get your head out of your ars, whatever you have been thought about being an independent, individual that is unique in this Universe, was a lie! You are so braindead that you probably think that nothing or no one has inspired you at all. It was all you! Something like a God 😂😂😂😂😂 I just would like to see and know what will become of you in the future.
Idk abt temu bc there are a lot of independent sellers on temu so I'm not sure
Hello, where can we buy your art? I am sorry this is happening to you and so many others.
It would be such a cool challenge to track down the original designers as lots of the designs are stolen and like interview them about their original idea!
That's a great idea you should have top comment 😭😭
thats such a cool idea but i think its kinda impossibile since they would obviously remove any kind of watermarks:(
Idea sure. How in practice, though? Unless I copyright a design,I can't prove it. Did you know that (this will sound weird but go with me), if you pay tens of thousands of dollars for a funeral and a headstone, etc. - if some random person takes a picture of the headstone, THEY own the copyright? My Great Grandparents' headstone is very unique, there's a piano carved into it by GGM's name, a saxophone by my GGF's name. Some complete random took pix, put a watermark on it, and published a BOOK.
First it made me emotional. How dare you desecrate that space? Then I talked with family, my Grandfather was a prosecutor, Attorney General and the copyright of an image taken by a camera belongs to the person who pushed the button. Not even the person
who owns the camera. The button pusher. So this person was allowed to keep making money off of a *gravesite*. Read all copyright law, have a copyright atty help you trademark something but there's not much new any more. So brace yourself to lose. Unfortunately.
etsy usually has them
Or interview the workers that work in slave like conditions. But hey. I guess the designers are the biggest victims here.
As someone who has worked with a company that produces in China, colour changes are very very common. So if the shade is a little bit different but everything else is the same there is a big chance that the manufacturer is still the same. Also, depending on the product, manufacturers may offer slight changes (specially if you produce large quantities in bulk), so I wouldn't be surprised if the tiara came from the same manufacturer as well. Lastly, it is very easy for employees to steal design files and sell them to a different company, although in this case probably the original design is not even theirs, they are probably copying someone smaller.
THIS
Those bubble mules for example have been in the shops here for a couple of years, they certainly aren't a new design.
They definitely come from same manufacturer
I used to work in wholesale, and our products were manufactured in China. From shipment to shipment our products would come out differently. The factories would source new material all the time to cut cost, and sometimes it would be a completely different shade or feel. So it’s possible that the similar items could be manufactured at the same factory just at different times, or for different cost, and they’d be different shades, materials, etc..
I see! But how did the temu buys turn out the best in almost every case? Maybe they bought the things most recently from the factories and that results in more developed designs?
@@Jojo-sf8ze If shein and wish shipped direct from China, their individual shipping costs are going to be higher, and they’d build that cost into the cost of the items. If Temu has goods shipped in bulk to a US warehouse, and then ships individually within the US, those costs are lower.
My guess, though, Temu is just be opting for lower profit margin, to build a consumer base. In which case they’ll probably end up raising prices once that’s established.
There’s also the possibility that the same vendor has different sweatshops doing the same item? Probably not, but you never know with these companies that rely on cheap materials, cheap labor and mass production with the littlest quality control.
@AmyWhitehouseVlog Wish comes from China, Shein has a California warehouse, and Temu (even though the product is manufactured in China) is a US company.
different grades of the same product? Could also explain some of the smaller differences in price.
I'm pretty sure I found the white mirror on Amazon. We often don't lump Amazon in with these companies, but a lot of the stuff there comes from the same manufacturers!
They all come from the same place, which is why you might as well but from Temu cause the only difference is that Amazon is selling it for much more money.
Wish that would have been the case for me- I paid 2-3x at Amazon for last year and just got one color. Ordered TEMU and got multiple color of the SAME DANG THING!
I can definitely see that. Recently I got what I thought would be a cool duvet cover from Amazon, which was black but with rainbow cats on it. But then it arrived the underside of the cover was plain white, so it looked flipping stupid. It was clearly cheaply made by some megacorp, rather than by a business that cared about the product and the customer. (idk what to do with it now.)
OMG you look like LILY JAMES(the actress)
@@lorenzonicoli8886you commented in wrong place lol
Just a note, when we request items from a manufacturing plant, we can specify the quality of the materials and the quality of the dyes batch to batch. It’s possible that they’re all getting these products from the same supplier but requesting minor quality differences.
They steal designs from small creators and even their photos thats why there is a same model/picture.
With those low quality products they can come close themselves, but I saw some youtuber who designed and handmade very high quality medieval dress it took her months to sew and materials themself costed over 200$ and they used her own pictures while she was in it to promote it as "theirs". Of course their price was something like $20-30 and quality was waaaay worse. Looked like cheap Halloween costium, didn't have layers, used wrong materials etc
Pretty sure you are referring to Bernadette Banner who found a terrible quality dress based on her design and using images of her original handcrafted vintage technique dress on Wish. Her buying it and comparing it made for a hilarious and informative video.
I used to work for a fairly well-known designer, womens clothing company. The buyers would travel to different (impoverished) countries to "get ideas" from poor families selling clothes they had designed and made at open air markets in small booths. You can guess what would happen. The next season those exact designs with little to no cut modifications would be highlighted as the newest mainstream trend. Bringing in millions in company profits. Completely unbeknownst to the creators. These corporate owners know the people they steal fashion from can barely afford food so there will be no legal consequences for their plagiarism. Its sickening and 1 of the main reasons I left the industry.
Yup. Thousands upon thousands of stolen ideas and designs but when people discuss the ethical part of buying from these sites, its about sweat shops and wages and safe working areas - not about the plagiarism. I said in another comment that these might also be all from different manufacturers, they just all had stolen the same idea from an original artist because they knew they could make money from it.
That makes me sooo incredibly upset 😠😭
This is where n what govt should be for. Just because someone has more money shouldn't give them the right to win.
Don't be shy. Say their name
And this is why when people say that temu/shein/amazon/etc are "stealing from designers" i'm like "weeeeeeell, the designers stole it in the first place. Soooooo..."
I think the reason why Temu is the most affordable of the 3 is because they're doing that thing Wish used to do, where they lose money for the sake of getting users on their site before they raise the prices in a year or few
Slave labor
I learned about this, its called penetration pricing. I definitely think thats what theyre doing too
For sure they are doing this but once its expansive i stop buying
@@midnight1022 another term is dumping
They also have a $10 min which has advantages over similar sites
I think there could be another reason for the same but differentness, it could be to do with erratic sourcing of materials. The same group of factories could be pumping out the same stuff on mass, the materials are sourced from wherever is cheapest, and whatever is needed to keep the production line going. Consistency doesn't matter if people are buying off different platforms for different prices anyway. I had a friend who worked in a factory, the materials he was using changed suddenly due to shipping problems, so they were making the same thing in different materials from one week to another.
I also think they are trying to sometimes reproduce items based on photos of already popular items on other sites!!
I have been wondering about this and was excited to see a video comparing products. Thank you for making this.
I once ordered from shein and it came in a wish bag 🤷♀️ Double triple checked, I definitely placed the order with Shein and the packaging said it was from Shein… but when I opened it, the bag inside said wish!
So maybe shein buys from wish and sells it?
Wish is more expensive though (in general acc to this)
Maybe the manufacturer was the same and sent it out dropshipping style but got the wrong company
this is the
most likely reason
idk why this made me CACKLEEEEE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My takeaway is that most of these are produced in the same place. But the lack of quality control means that there are visible differences in the products.
I bet that there would be differences between the same item purchased on the same website, if they were purchased at different times.
They’re manufacturing is very controlled to the point you can increase or decrease quality based on your consumer
I came here to comment that. We are on the same page. It’s got more to do with inconsistency in production, and they’re all coming from the same factory.
Interesting comparison. TFS
OMG! Years ago (before I knew how bad shein was) I got a shirt but then lost it and then bought it again a few months later. But I ended up finding the original shirt a few weeks after. I compared them and they were slightly different with one being lighter and slightly more fuzzy
I got 2 key chains from temu and it was difference between them
Your take on comparing products was something I've wondered about myself. Buying the products to compare fabric, construction etc. really is the only accurate way to do this. Thanks for the insight. I'm looking forward to your next "comparison" video...😊
I've ordered from Temu and Rosegal for clothing and rarely am I disappointed. In fact, Rosegal was at times more disappointing with some of the material choices for items. While I always had a perfect fit and the material was nice too with Temu. Now shoes were sadly not wide enough for me, yet my daughter had no problem slipping into the boots I got and saying thank you. Hmm, annoying but then again they fit her.
Even cups, stuffed toys, figurines and even bento boxes all were of really good quality and made great gifts. With all the great items for affordable prices, it's hard not to grab a few things. Do measure pets or body parts to be sure you are getting the right sizes though. That's important since the sizes are much smaller than they are in the US. I found if I go up 2 sizes at least, the items fit great. Plus if it's a bit big I can just take it in, not so easy if you get the size too small.
Did not expect for an honest and well-made review video to ever speak the words "Wish is definitely the most expensive" but I guess here we are
Exactly
As someone that was buying a lot via chinese sites like that it was obvious that Wish was the expensive one but one thing that Wish has that other don't is that it's really great at recommending random stuff to you based on your search and purchase history. It often can recommend some stuff that you never knew you wanted to lol.
So I used wish just to look around and then used Aliexpress to buy it there for cheaper haha.
Temu's prices are that low cause they're new and trying to establish themselves. Honestly terrified to think of what deal they cut with the manufacturer.
Even the shirts at Walmart and made for like .50 cents, so it's probably similar they just sell more so they can charge less
On temu you’re buying from the manufacturer temu is a bunch of different sellers it’s not temu making deals with manufacturers
I like Temu for squishies and stuffed plushies. My aunt buys from them for her store
No aliexpress has the same prices , they are just extremely cheap items to make
Temu is the company owned by PingDuoDuo, which is Chinese Version of Amazon but more affordable
Chip in his frog jumpers stole my heart❤ i love him! What a fun video ❤
Me ignoring my due assignments just to watch mia spot the difference between bubble slippers and i am not complaining
Life update: i love her videos
Follow up video - find the REAL designer version of all of these that inspired these knockoffs! I saw Hope do a video like that recently and I LOVED it.
Yes! This is what I was thinking!!
that would've actually be the much better video as it would support the right people
This is a great idea! I would love to see that! It would probably inspire people to go look for the quality product.
How do you find the original designer?

heheh yes!!
yeah! i suspected it but i’m so glad that she posted this!
I read defective Mia 🥴
@@eileengalindo4949 I did also😂. I have dyslexia, so it happens to me a lot.
@@rebekahwillis-id1hf Haha! I got it that’s clever!
Thank you for this video!! ❤ definitely was interested about this.
I was not at all curious about any of this and yet it was PEAK entertainment. Hope you have a well-deserved wonderful day.
I used to work for a company that sold pyjamas on Amazon and wish, we’d rarely design our own stuff. My boss would see the best selling pyjamas on Amazon and just ask his guys to make a copy, and they’d copy us too. Sometimes, a supplier would come for a meeting and I’d have to run and hide the pieces of clothing that we were working on, because if he saw them he’d tell his other clients and they’d copy it and sometimes even put it out before us. That’s why these are the same but different lol it’s a bunch of small businesses copying each other
I don't wanna be an artist anymore
@@ms.pirate I know right? It sounds like such a dark industry. Imma stick to shopping on depop or in 2nd hand stores
is this what capitalism is about ??? ugh I hate our system
My guess is they come from the same manufacturers for the most part, but in different batches. Like for the fluffy bag, they made it in one fabric until they ran out of it, and then they found a similar fabric for the next batch. Something like the shoes would require a mold, which are quite expensive, so again, they probably used whatever pink material they had on hand when they got the orders from each retailer.
Thank you for the video. I had been questioning this too! Thanks for answering my question about Wish, Temu and Shein.
This is the video I never knew I needed! Haha! Thanks, Mia!
Once you’ve visited China then you’ll know why they look similar/identical. Similar manufacturers or factories are often in the same province. I once went to a city and looking for furnitures, I was shocked… buildings and departments stores on both sides of the road were selling furnitures. I later learnt that the whole entire city/town were manufacturing or selling furnitures. And if you are looking for computer and tech then you’ll go to the next town for more options. And to find supplies for wooden toys I had to take a 4 hour train to go to another city.
Guangzhou is a trade center city. I was there for couple days and once went to this huge leather goods market district, where you can find replicas of any type of bag and leather accessories. There are cheap versions, vut then in smaller places i saw more high end fraud birkins for example, ones that you will need to study closely to tell it's fake. So i presume for textile clothes and accessories they also have such trade districts, where you can see what different manufacturers offer.
Let me tell you from that leather mall, i felt sick cause of that chemical rubber smell you get from cheap bags, i got dizzy
I guess that way, there are no competition among those cities.
@@valeriehartman3705 my guess is that by doing so they could cut every cost off logistics due to having all the components required of a supply chains right next door, and also save money by bulk ordering the materials required for manufacturing, further cut cost by sourcing the cheapest labour and land in a rural town rather than a large city, and finally completely removes R&D cost for good by copying every design imaginable.
I used to be a product illustrator and designer for a company that acts as the middleman for these sort of manufacturers in China. We would select items like these from the warehouses and manufacturers, change them up or refine them to be more "sale-worthy", catalog them to pitch to retailers, sell them to your local retailers or mom and pop gift shops and recommend a 300-400% markup to sell them in their store and turn a good profit.
So basically, these apps and websites all do the same thing, pulling from the same warehouses, but they eliminate the cost of the middle men and the retailers! Hence the prices being so unbelievably low and also the prices varying from app to app or online shop to shop. They get to pick just how much profit they make while still being competitive in prices.
You honestly look amazing and stunning in everything. I’d agree with you on all your thoughts. Loved someone has compared them all and with honest feedback
Great vid. You answered my question, which is they are basically the same. They all come in a bag with the potential for things to arrive broken. I've only ever ordered from Temu and when I found out that it arrives in a bag, I try to make sure I don't order things that are easily broken. I won't order anything that's glass, but I will order metal objects like stainless steel cups. I've ordered beautiful hair clips, slippers, jar openers, and took a chance on a cheap personal humidifier/diffuser. Surprise, the humidifier works well and wasn't damaged.
def don't buy anything food related I heard they can be unsafe because they contain toxic metal like lead. please don't buy from those compagny they are unethical
I’ve ordered from all of them and Temu and SHEIN has the same quality of products but Temu sells it for half the price sometimes. But now even Temu is increasing their prices rapidly. I admire Mia shopping and comparing for us even though she doesn’t wanna shop there cuz of ethical reasons. I love your videos Mia you’re doing a great job.
Thank you so much!
I've been shopping on Temu since December and they seemed to have a price drop after their Superbowl commercial. They probably did this for marketing reasons and are now increasing things back to their original price, which was still much cheaper than other popular websites btw.
I'm kind of interested to hear why you admire someone doing something they consider unethical themselves
Temu also gave her $10 back for being late
@@amara560 ikr??? it makes 0 sense
Temu worries me so much, hearing about their parent company being in trouble for spyware\malware, what is temu getting that let's them cut more costs (given how badly workers are compensated in the first place etc).hearing they were adding credit to your account.. It doesn't seem normal.
Found this video and immediately fell in love with your channel. Definitely subscribing. I always thought they were all knockoffs too! Happy to have found this channel as a fashion fan too. Keep it up!!
I have ordered from Shein and been totally ripped off- the clothes were nothing like what the picture showed. I would never order from them again! I haven't ordered from Wish at all. I ordered some jewelry from Temu and got exactly what the picutres showed., and many complitments on a turquiose Tree of LIfe wire wrap that everyone wanted! I was kind of hoping for a quality comparison with a clear winner in quality, but I guess they each have their strenghts and downfalls. Thanks so much for a fun comparison! Elisha
So sorry to hear that it took you 8 hours to find these items! The next time you plan in filming such a video use the picture search and add the store you want it from to the search! It will show you shopping results from specific sides
Omg 10000% I’ll do that next time, thank u!!!
This right here. A lot of companies that do gray labeling will use the exact same photos. Works with furniture, too!
I was thinking the same thing! I was like poor Mia needs an image search like Google lense.
i wish this worked for finding a replacement pair of my beloved elastic slingback fisherman sandals that are falling apart 😭
Omggg so smart
this stuff is so scary to me because we’ll probably never know where the original design came from. i got a butterfly hairclip on etsy only to find out it was on shein for cheaper
Probably because etsy was the original design and shein copied it
hard to say in this situation because companies like these steal designs all the time.
Its sad that now we have to be hesitant about buying handmade/independent designer products because they could be resale.
often times corporations/bigger companies steal smaller businesses' designs and sell them for less since they can be manufactured easier. received a $30 esty ring as a gift once and found the same thing on Amazon for like half the price.
etsy has become so bad with the dropshippers. it’s sad especially since etsy started as the OG place to buy “handmade” or small business items. i use it rarely now. there’s no regulation and you can’t even really trust reviews.
We don't know if it's a shien Temu or wish design an someone is sayin it's their design and getting a higher price for it x am a cheap arse I go for cheap regardless where it comes from 😂😂😂
I love the sucker earrings and the pink heart bag!!! And the heart mirror is so cute!
I'm sure others have said similar, but just to add... I used to work for a skincare and beauty packaging company. While we did design many of our own patented products, much of our stock was ordered from the catalogs that our partner factories in China provided. So any other packaging suppliers that worked with those factories could sell the same designs. Of course, being China, a lot of designs are also duped by rival manufacturers. In one case, we designed a product for a high-end customer. About a year later, a very similar product was being produced by an unrelated factory using inferior engineering, decoration, and color matching techniques. While it did not feature the customer's brand name, it was enough of a match to make people think the rival factory was manufacturing our customer's product line. The customer was furious thinking we were offering "their" designs to other customers, and we were furious because the cheap crap the rival factory was putting out was making us look bad. Of course, this happens with the companies you showed here, too.
There has been a few times where I have found the exact same items I have brought at Target, Amazon, and Macys on Shein with just different tags/logos.
I worked in purchasing, most of the big brands in the US work with a very limited amount of Chinese exporters/importers, because it's a headache to find ones that can provide consistent quality and navigate the china-us politics/trade policy and import duties. So you definitely get them from the same factory. Not a secret that everyone can print their own logo on the products just need to order enough amount
I've also seen same products on Etsy and Ebay!
i work in an aussie food factory and we do the same thing - we manufacture everything, but sell the exact same item under 5 different labels. some of them are aldi-only brands and sell for cheaper, but sometimes we have multiple brands in a single store at different price points. it's a way of getting the most amount of customers, regardless of their budget or brand loyalty. differences in quality, color, and shape, all come from the fact that items are made by humans and in different batches, and that if we can't get our usual suppliers we'll just use a different one
I’m so glad you did this comparison.
I have shopped tons of stuff on wish and was satisfied with every purchase. The customer service is on point.
Temu is like Wish was back in the day. Really cheap prices to get customers to order, but with time they have to increase prices, then they lose customers and then they increase prices even more.
I try not to shop for stuff on Temu/Wish/Shein/Aliexpress anymore these days. The lower prices made me buy stuff that I eventually ended up not really using all that much... Also, prices are rising for goods online, so when I'm seeking items, I go for thrifting/buy nothing groups... I might pay a few bucks more, but at least i can feel the quality and make better decisions. Times have changed, never thought I'd go back!
Yeap same here
Buy nothing groups are the BEST… :)
Also the price is low because their mistreatment of their workers is HIGH :(
Love this video! Thank you and your dog is adorable. ❤
I never purchased from any of those stores. I was very interested in the comparison. According to your comparison test, I'm for Temu! Thank you for sharing your video. it was fun to watch!!!
A follow up to this experiment could be to buy the same products from the same company on different days and see if they’re the same. Cause the companies could have a variety of warehouses that they send their junk out of and depending on when you order it you could get different ones? Who knows how these junk factories work though haha
Sounds boring if you’re wrong though, like imagine a video where Mia just buys 3 of the EXACT same things.
@@UniqueYTHandle I mean yeah of course but it could be a tiktok or TH-cam short so she can write off the cost for her taxes at least 😆
@@UniqueYTHandle I disagree. The REAL test to find the difference between all 3 companies is to order the same things and see if they’re the same quality or different.
I know wish, Temu and AliExpress sell the same things.
@@UniqueYTHandle Honestly, idk, that could still be interesting. Especially ordering something with like 10 different product photos of slightly different items (which is common on all these sites I'd assume), and see what you get. Even if they're all the same, the question would then be is it the same as the product photo? Why would they have several pictures of different items? Etc etc, like, it'd not be boring. The hardest part would rely on the same product staying on site. They could easily remove the item whenever they want, which would obviously ruin the concept since you couldn't but it several times.
Thanks for taking the time to infirm us about these industries. I am not sure which one is better
LMFAOOOOOO I LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN YOU SWITCHED THE FLUFFY PURSES 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love your videos ❤
fun fact: if you buy clothes from these sites, they have often already been worn by someone else. When people send them back, these three and other sites don't re-wash the clothes, they just ship them back to the next person. conclusion: wash your clothes at these sites before putting them on in real life
btw: it has been tested by scientists
Just like in physical stores the items you are trying on have been tried on by number of different people. And you should always wash your newly bought items anyway, is it not a common sense?
@@alenkabkk agreed
@@alenkabkkyeah i always wash clothes before i wear them, obviously if i have them delivered i’m gonna try them on before i take the tags off but i usually leave them until i know i’m showering after
I don’t care
All clothes should be washed before being worn. I usto work in warehouses where they package this stuff to go to department stores and smaller orders for homes and its not clean stuff falls on the floor just pick it up and BOOM package it not only that but there's usually a lot of people touching it before it gets to the consumer
I think it’s interesting that we know all 3 of these companies have terrible working conditions for people producing the products, they have to be for it to be so cheap. Yet we still almost congratulate or applaud the one that is the cheapest. Not saying this on Mia at all it’s just ingrained in us to say “well done” to the cheapest version
Exactly my thought
Well said
How do you know
yeah well the sad part is, a lot of people cant afford to buy from any other more expencive and more ethical places, rather then from such a cheap ones, so we kinda close ourselves in this circle of being poor...
@@user-bu5bo1jr9z well you can always buy second hand. If you care more about sustainability and not supporting child labor instead of following fashion trends. Please don´t take this the wrong way I am generally speaking.
i love this video and something im always wondering about between the sites!!
I always wanted to see a comparison of these 3. Very interesting to see the differences or similarities.
Finally someone compared all these sites!!! THANKS MIA
Absolutely
I'd love to see you get them all tested for lead and cadmium! That's the real story.
I wanna get the metal tea spoons I got from temu tested. But I don't know were they can get tested in.

@@ms.pirateI believe you can get lead testing strips from the hardware store. It's meant to test paint in old houses/furniture so people can be safe if it's lead paint but I'm sure it would work on the spoons.
lead testing strips aren't super accurate but if your interested in more information, a great resource is the leadsafemama LLC. The companies run by a woman who has a super accurate tester that costs like 50 grand. shits crazy and lead is in so much stuff.
I would never buy anything there that will be in contact with food or drinks, I also would never, ever, buy foundation, cremes, oils, eye make-up, mascara etc. there because you don’t know what is in it and you don’t know if the products are produced in sterile conditions. Definitely not going to put any of it on me.

IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS!!!! when i was in middleschool/early highschool i noticed the same thing and always wanted to try them out. Thank u for fulfilling a small dream ive had
I would guess that Temu is cheapest for now because they are the newest to the market and are still trying to attract customers.
Wish moved to a dropshipping system ~2 years ago for the US. Everything goes to Jamaica, New York (at least for stuff that I've ordered) and then gets repackaged into a 'single' item that they deliver to you. It's done to save on shipping costs for them but it really extends their delivery time.
Interesting
Temu is a US based company. Their stuff is manufactured in China but it's all shipped from the US which is probably why it's the cheapest. Shein has a warehouse in Los Angeles but is a Chinese company.
Yeah and Temu is the only app that actually gives the free credit lol me and literally 5 of my friends have gotten 50$ credit from referring strangers 💀💀💀
@@antolivinglife7907 Once they have a large enough customer base that will almost certainly stop.
Wish is the worst in quality, shipping time and customer service.
I love how detail-oriented you were with explaining everything fairly and logically throughout the video. Made it VERY easy to watch for big picture and detail-oriented people alike
Got the great niece a similar mirror. Pink in an oval shape from Amazon. It was PERFECT. Really cute, sturdy and she loved it! It was a few dollars more but not expensive.
Very interesting. I appreciate your research. Another aspect I would love to see explored with clothing is if they shrink in the wash. I have purchased a few pieces from one of these sites and almost 75% have shrunk when washed to a size or more smaller.
I really wish you can make sustainable ethical brands video! Love your viddss
I agree
I've gone out of my way not to watch "cheap China sh*t" hauls, but I made an exception for this video because I was curious about the comparison. I'm glad at least Mia pointed out the questionable ethics of these companies.
She does all the time?
@@madisonbrown739 yes i agree she makes etsy and thrifting videos. But i was thinking more of a video dedicated to trying different brands that are known to be ethical and environment friendly ☺
With Temu they are probably working on far thinner margins to gain market share. Also the buying power of each company will differ which will change how much they charge for products. Lastly shein (and probably the others) do a lot of loss leader sales where they sell select items for clearly below cost, which means other products will be more expensive to make up revenue.
Really enjoyed this video!!! Great Idea! Thanx Girl!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOUUUU for making this vid! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This was something I’ve always wondered!!! Sooo interesting!
🎉🎉🎉TEMU WINS!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Would love more vids like this, comparing items.
temu win what ???? its all cheap products which are bad for you and the environment produced by poor people in another country for you to enjoy... no one win they still sell the product way higher than the real value
I wanted to try temu, and while looking at different items, I found dog pajamas that I already own. So I ordered them to compare. They are literally the exact same. Same brand too. I bought the first pack on Amazon in a 2 pack for 16 bucks. Got the temu one for less than 6.
With the Temu mirror, all you have to do is report the break, and they will refund you. I had a similar issue and was refunded, no questions asked. Honestly, I've adopted all three sites and will ALWAYS choose Temu because of things like refunds, the credit you get if your package isn't going to arrive on time, and the fact that if you order something and it drops in price, all you guys to is go to a certain part of the app and you get the difference added to your credits, and the shipping time.
What about returns? Shein has free returns on your first purchase
@@LostMatcha first only?
@@noiz1762 no. You have so many days to send back your items. You can only make 1 return per order. So like if I buy 5 shirts, return 2 and then decide later to return another one. I'd have to pay for the second return from that order. If I make a separate order again and need to return something, it works the same way.
@@LostMatcha I just returned some headphones to Temu. Just looked my order up, printed the label, and took it to the post office. Free, aside from the gas I used.
Temu has given me credit for all the things I've had to return to them. They also let me keep all the items. I had around $60 in credit. You can also choose to have it put back in your account, but I chose the credit.
Is it just me cuz her humor is everything she is so pretty and funny❤
Your doggo definitely stole the show :) What a sleepy cutie~~~~!
Ive been watching Mia for a while now and i can just say it never gets boring 🎉🎉🎉
aw thank youuuuu!!!!
Can always depend on Mia to read our minds & post the perfect video 🎉 So much love for you Mia!! ❤
Love youuuu!
If your Temu package is delayed, it will give you a $5 credit. That's why I love it! My Temu package always arrives on time!😀
Thank you for doing this...Temu won really...I have ordered many products from them and I have only had to return a couple of them out of many! It was fun watching you go threw them. BTW Chip did a wonderful job a great model and definitely deserves a treat for that!🙂
It's not just SHEIN, Wish, or TEMU. It's a whole host of other fast fashion brands that are doing this too. They're using wholesalers and dropship merchants to pad up their accessory, shoe, had, or bag lines and their profit margins. The only example I can speak directly to is a collective of Australian alternative fashion brands under the same parent company with physical stores but I know that many other retailers have the same issue, even if they have physical stores.
It's genuinely disgusting to know that these companies will add these items to their inventory and mark them up by 10x the price, especially knowing that they have an ethics compliance statement on their website which is straight-up bullshit.
not sure what the chances of you seeing my comment is, but would you be able to say which Australian fashion brand you mean? the only one I can think of that fits the description is Factory X and I'm not so sure I wanna keep shopping with their brands if they do the same thing 😔😔
@@onedollafish ding ding ding
can’t believe that Wish shipping was almost the same price as the products themselves, and still came last 😭
😢
But Wish actually sells official NFL and MLB merchandise. I mean, I have never bought any but I know it does say "official." And it's not cheap.
I got the pink bubble shoes from five below for 5 dollars!! They are the exact ones from SHEIN!But thank you so much for this video I really enjoyed it😊
"ill put them all side by side" moves in all but one
amazon basically sells the same stuff too but SO MUCH more expensive
lots of these places resell from places like Alibaba which has lots of manufacturers making the same objects in different warehouses etc
8:34 my grandson love the bubble slide from temu!
Fascinating video and awesome, thought provoking comments!
My takeaways from this video 1. I will not be shopping on any of these sites any time soon and 2. I love Mia and every video she puts out ❤
I love the dedication that she puts into all her videos ❤️❤️❤️
thank you so much, i try my best!
I've been looking for a good video for a while, finally found it!
All of those sites and other 'marketplace' sites like Aliexpress, Amazon, even Walmart's website etc. have many different 3rd party vendors selling their products. The products themselves are made by many different factories with slight differences even though they are essentially the same design. The sellers will often switch which manufacturer they buy from and the factories switch specifications on their products too so the inconsistency is extremely high and quality ranges a lot.
So is Amazon , Wal-Mart , and most online merchants . I've seen a dress from Shein sold on a website that was made to look more upscale. They we're selling the exact same dresses for way more money than anyone would pay for a Shein dress
Exactly!!! You see a lot of the same items throughout these sites
The answer is yes. When Shein came up and got popular I couldn't help but laugh is just asian online stores but with a better front. Aliexpress, Shein, Yesstyle, Temuu all the same to me
Edit after watching the entire video:
Basically f*ck Wish
Aliesxpress we all know takes longer to arrive (maybe they have less warehouses overseas? Or bad contracts when it comes to delivery? )
Shein has it's own "inner brands" example Romwe and the collaborations with artists and media example Corpse Bride
I think differences in colour can be tricky because they can change between orders in the same site with same seller (shape and feel too)
All in all the biggest difference is costumer service, arrival time and the fact that every ecosystem inside the different sites make different products come on top so you can find the same product, something very similar (probably same manufacturer) or something very original.
Some of them just have better customer service making them more trust worthy
The only difference for me is that when I order something from aliexpress, it takes like 3-5 months. Shein takes about 2 weeks which is just so much better.
Yesss exactly
@@mjy4172 They have a lot of 10-15 day delivery nowadays. It surprised even me.
Yesstyle is korean online store not chinese
Oh I'm so excited to see this! Thank you. I am going to try the deoderant in sane scent you like! I quit using Wish a while back. Would love link to the nicest turtleneck!
my first video im ever watching from you and your ads are absolutely wild (too many)
As an American living in China, I find videos like this so interesting! So much of western consumerism is from producers in China and shopping here is so different even though they are ‘the same’ products!
How are they different?
I’m curious as well, how are they different
The shoe incident made me laugh so hard 🤣 6.5/7 is about a 37/38 so yeah, the TEMU ones are up to two sizes bigger compared to the shein shoes (35/36). At least if you look at US vs European sizing ^^
If the sizing is UK it’s even worse lol 6.5/7 would be 39/40 EU
I've ordered shoes from Temu. I'm a UK 6.5-7 and I get a sent 40-42 however they are generally the correct fit. I think different numbers are used in different places.
It helps to know your foot length. Read the size charts. And be sure to read reviews for small or large sizing.
@@nataliebutler yeah the thing is, it's not even consistent throughout Europe, e.g. French, German and Italian shoe sizes are different. I think a French 40 is a German 38 and in Italy it's a 42. Crazy
Adorei o vídeo, ótimo ver as comparações ajuda muito na hora de escolher onde comprar, não tinha visto ainda ninguém fazendo um vídeo como este! Obrigada também pelo áudio em PT-BR ❤
I have the heart makeup mirror. I love it, and it's so cute. I've seen it on Amazon too.
7:06 starts opening packages.
1:57 starts ordering! ❤

This has always been the case with retail items. I worked at Fashion Bug back in the day. They were a relatively inexpensive place to shop and I'm sure certain people stuck their nose up at shopping there. But I would go to the local mall department stores (Dillards and Macy's) and see the exact same items. They would just have a different lable sewn in and cost a lot more at the mall stores. Nothing new here, but I do really appreciate the comparisons. I've really been wanting to try TEMU.
I miss Fashion Bug, Dress Barn and other shops.
Wow, thanks. I have been wondering about these places. I almost ordered from wish, but then the temu scandal came out. I have decided to just stick with Aliexpress since I have ordered from them for over 15 years and they have been reliable.
I find it odd that there were so many dissimilarities but I guess since the manufacturers can make so many different things that there would be more than one manufacturer to make an item and that they would have their own take on it given what resources they had available at the time. It might also be made at one place but at a different time using different materials (hey, we've got to get an order out, what materials can we get right now to make it?).
Thanks again for the nice video.
Thank you for making this as I wondered the same thign!
I love your videos, but couldn’t finish this one. The more things you kept pulling out with lower and lower price points just got me thinking about the people that work for these companies. It’s heart breaking how much work they do for so little.. This is just a very stark reminder that the three companies are competing to sell as many things as they can for as cheap as possible, regardless of what it does to their employees. I do, however, recognize that quite a bit of your content lately has been trying to get people away from these brands, and I appreciate that!!❤
girl shush lmao
@@mylikiahdassin god forbid someone gives a damn
@@mylikiahdassin yeah shush people for speaking up about workers making 50¢ a day and getting one day off a month. How low are you as a person? Saying that just says what kind of person you are. Yikes.
Your comment was very passive/aggressive. Like give a comment with a slap. Geez 🙄
People always say this and then go buy from a company that does the exact same thing but just has high prices. Fun fact- your expensive rich brands are ALSO made in sweatshops 🙃
