hey sarah, i know you‘re probably not aware of the problems with temu so i just want to inform you that temu is a really really bad company and you should maybe reconsider getting sponsored from them/ advertising them. they are based on the absolute worst working conditions and the prices are so low because they just want to get all the data they can from their customers. if any site offers prices like that it’s because you (the customer) are actually the product for them. i am just trying to raise awareness and this is no hate in any form towards you or this video ❤
Totally agree. This Chinese company just jumped into US everything. From unknown startup in the beginning of 2022 to a Superbowl spot in 2023… from rock bottom prices? How & who sponsored this? Personally, The Temu app has magically appeared on my (2021) phone twice this last year. I allow nothing to auto install… Red Flags, Red Flags people! This app front is not about low steal of a deal prices… it’s to steal your information!!
I understand you and I am very hesitant to buy from them (maybe not hesitant enough). But there are shops in The Netherlands, selling the same stuff for much more. And I believe in the same conditions. It is hard to find honest shops with honest products, where the profit goes to the workers.
Agreed. I have not, and will not, patronize this company. If I can’t afford the price a reputable company is asking for a product, then I’ll do without.
I can only reiterate what other people have said that linking yourself with this awful company will not do you any favours and to boot they will probably sell your personal data. This is meant in a kind way to yourself.
Thank you Lynn! I appreciate your message. I really was just trying to offer some inexpensive product solution, but it brought up some very important points that I hadn't heard of before. Thank you so much for sharing!
great haul Sarah! I love the kitchen furniture for displays too :). Love the fluffy brushes And those brush holders!!! I am always creating new glazes because I don't like to rinse my glaze off before dipping into another color LOL...so these are a fantastic idea👍. It's great to see you and I am so happy for you that you are doing markets and getting sponsors❣
Thanks sooooo much Star! I've been really bad at replying to comments lately, like you mentioned i've been focusing on applying to markets, and even some permanent product placements in some stores🤞🏼Who new that running a business was a 24/7 job 🤭🤣 Now summer is in full swing and my most fav season...I've been tending to the garden and trying to soak up some sun and having a dip in the pool. anyhoo... I'm glad you enjoyed the video and some of my ideas...I've got to do some editing soon...see ya! 🥰
Why is everyone so bugged about Temu!!!??? We’ve been buying from similar companies for decades with AliExpress, Shein, even eBay! They’re all the same!!!!! They are all just a platform or marketplace for vendors. I LOVE TEMU LOL Great haul Sarah xxx
#1 Because they appropriate designs from artists without compensation #2 Because loading their app is just like loading TikTok - very invasive and mines all of your data. #3 Because the company that owns them is run by the CCP #4 Because they have horrible working conditions
Hi Karen! The magnets that I purchased are not from Temu but I see that they have the similar ones. Here is a link to some that I have tried and like: amzn.to/3YnMDyu Size wise, I ordered various sizes as my magnet tops range from small to large and I prefer the look of one larger magnet affixed to the back rather then 2 smaller ones. What I have learned from my experience is that the thin magnets are not very strong. They will hold my ceramic bits to the fridge with maybe with only one sheet of paper. The thicker ones seem to work best. Let me know if this was helpful! Cheers 🥰
There seems to be some very strong opinions about Temu, for and against. I was just trying to share some inexpensive alternatives...there have been some valuable insight that have been shared in the comments and I think that it's good that people share pros and cons. Thank you
@@SarahWaltonPottery We're here because we love what you share while you grow your business. You're so fun and informative! And I adore your hair. I don't think any of us who see the truth about Temu likes you less for this. That would be silly. It's just that when we know better, we do better. Anyone here who doesn't understand why we are against Temu is encouraged to research them.
Hi Sarah, great haul! I have that same monstera roller, I thought it was so cute. My best purchase from them was the set of plastic buckets with screw on lids for my glazes. Unfortunately the don’t have them any longer. I used the big discount they give for first timers. 😂👍🏻
Hi Anna! I saw your video with the white buckets and they looked so neat and tidy on your shelves. I'm sooo diggin' the monstera roller, its soooo dang cute!
Hi Amber! sorry for the late reply..Unlike my other description links, these links were provided by Temu based on the products I choose. I'm soo sorry that one was not included...I hope you were able to find it! 😬🥰
I love Temu. I've been buying from them for ages. I stocked up on 90% of my clay tools. They are just so reasonably priced. I was in awe with all the different things they have available. I've looked at the banding wheel. How long does it turn for when you pull it around. Is it a smooth even turn?? I love love Temu
Hi Evelyn! Sorry for the late reply...I took a little time of from my YT duties🤭 I love the Temu banding wheel. It's so light weight and spins long enough, for me anyways. I've had a Shimpo/Nidec banding wheel for a few years now, and well, yes it's far superior, and the bearings are in my opinion unbeatable and spin forever. With that said, to buy one now is a few hundred dollars, in Canada, so this one from Temu is an affordable alternative. It doesn't spin as long but it is smooth, and level...so I'm pleased with it. Cheers! 🥰
@@SarahWaltonPottery great to hear I've a small shimpo and got a taller wider one for my birthday in May. I saw a lot of negative comments because of you using Temu. I'm unemployed and sometimes one can not afford to get quality things needed. It helps people on low income to be able to buy things. So much STUFF is from China which ever way you look at it. Most things we buy in a shop are all made in China. Yes we would love to support local, but it's not always possible. Take care
PS I just received some wooden MKM Stamps from the U S. Now here is the surprise ha ha. Invoice states wood hand tools. Country of origin....wait for it CHINA. So which ever way you go many things are made in China for companies, businesses. So you think you are buying things from US, Australia. When in fact there are many things manufactured in China, for a cheaper price. So the company we buy from can make a profit.
the dish rack you have linked is not the one you've shown. I'm wondering if they sent you the wrong one or if you linked the wrong one. Great deals, thanks for sharing.
Oh boy..sorry about that. They did all the links as per the things that I ordered. Humm? Were you able to find the right ones? I’m wondering if the links are all Canadian 🤔☺️
I just started selling magnets and they are really great sellers!! Just an fyi about the micrometer wire. Be sure to test one first because I bought some high temp wires and they were not for high temp!!! Leaving the brushes in water that long will loosen the glue. Try not to drown your brushes! Lol
Hey Michele! Yes I need to fire the nichrome wire still! It did say in the description that it was a true high fire..so stay tuned. As for the brushes, I’ve been a makeup artist my entire career, and you are absolutely correct about the glue loosening up if soaked, so that was why I did the test. I wanted to see how they would hold up to some abuse, and they survived..they seem to have some binding of the hair bundle which has helped. The metal ferrule didn’t rust, so I was pleased with the way that these brushes handled what I gave em! 🥰
@@SarahWaltonPottery That’s so awesome to know! My first ceramics teacher would always tell us our brushes were drowning if we set them in the water dish so I thought I’d pass along the saying! Great video. Thanks.
I get much higher prices. The Embossing Rollin pin that you payed $0.79 (original price 7.99) I get 124.94sek (original 402.29sek) (a canadian dollar is 7.66sek). So my price with 68% of is more than twice your original price and my original price is more than 6.5 times yours.
That’s so strange..🤔 I believe that the prices in my description are the Canadian price and I guess different parts of the world get different pricing?! 🤷♀️ I wish I could help.
Thank you Sarah, great ideas using Temu and I will be adding some of these things to my late night shop! Half of what you got I already have but I was wondering about the banding wheel and it's on the list now. love your content and format and hi from Melbourne Australia! xx
Hiiiii!!! Thanks so much for saying hello! I took a little time off now that it's summer up here, there are more things to tend to, not to mention just being outside soaking up some sun! I really like the banding wheel. Let me know what you think of it! Cheers! xo
Temu has also been known to steal artist's designs and sell them mass produced. I have known multiple artists that have said their designs showed up on Tema lower than priced they could produce it and therefore the artist has no market now for their product. That's not free market, that's stealing your intellectual property and profiting from other people's designs. They did not stop even after notification to cease and desist. This is what you are supporting. I won't shop with them. I didn't know about the conditions of employment. But, bummed that you are speaking for them.
Hi Laura, I am hearing these things for the first time from some of the comments. I'm sooo sorry to hear about your friends experience. I was just trying to show an alternative to some higher priced tools that not everyone can afford, but you bring up some very good points. Thanks 🥰

@@gabriellame1815 That rationale is a familiar one, however potentially hazardous working conditions and minimal wages cannot be ethically justified.

Hi Sarah - Can you make a suggestion on what magnets are suitable, size wise and strength wise for ceramic fridge magnets?
Hi Karen! The magnets that I purchased are not from Temu but I see that they have the similar ones. Here is a link to some that I have tried and like: amzn.to/3YnMDyu
