@@johnchin1456 Nope, there was no last time.

You forgot to mention that Temu gets practically free shipping to first world countries because of unfair postal rules. Tax payers in countries like the USA are the ones paying the shipping costs.
@@ReelyBad not true . There’s no free shipping from China to US, with the same delivery time it’s more expensive than US domestic shipping , I ship from China all the time
You have it wrong way around. In China their government is supporting postal service in shipping what means their tax payers are subsidizing shipping while USA with their tax and cost cuts is killing postal service so shipping cost is paid by package receiver.
I’ve seen Etsy shops have artwork stolen by temu, and sadly Etsy’s AI bot shuts down shops when it can match a product being sold on both Etsy and temu/other similar sites, even if the artist owns the copyrights to the artwork. Such a mess. I wish it was only amazon being threatened. They’re probably gonna be fine in the end. Small business are facing the real threat here.
So in short, Temu takes advantage of NAFTA, does business like Nike, doesn't grease US palms, and handles business relations like Amazon (only in a Chinese atmosphere). Sounds like a restructuring and re-branding name change is imminent,... then it's business as usual. We've never seen that before here in the USA.
You're absolutely right! The same things made in China are made from cheap labour too but difference is that Temu is taking less profits than it's competitors
@@rxb364 I really wish a legitimately elected President would repeal NAFTA and we could re-build American manufacturing, even though it would be financially devastating. On all counts the leftist of dreams.
Classic monopoly middleman arbitrage, Amazon does exactly the same thing in the US by enabling competitors from China who copy US made products. Things like copying product images and not enforcing US patents/copyrights makes Amazon an absolute mess. The best way is to always establish your own brand separate from these platforms.
@@erniesulovic4734 ebay is really bad. there are stores selling thousands of products with automated dropshipping from other sellers, where they simply automate grabbing photos/descriptions from other stores and add a 10% markup and then any sales they refer back to the original seller. Its incredibly frustrating that ebay does nothing to stop this. Etsy has an issue with sellers who arent artisanal stores selling hand made unique products. They are reselling crap from temu.
Well said. I quit eBay because of that same problem. I started doing scroll sawing, as well as landscaping locally; money has only been getting better, and the environment is pricelss. If you want something made with a scroll saw, hit me up and tell me your skills. Maybe we can trade goods and or services, lol.
China is the one who makes just about everything we own in the U.S. so what's the big deal? We already know China can make some really good replicas of more expensive items like Gucci LV.
The quality of the materials and workmanship are what makes the difference between the name brand and rip-off brand. When a company hires another company to manufacture a product they have designed, the factory is hired to do a certain level of quality. So any combination of the level of quality of materials and quality level of workmanship is up to what the person or company is willing to pay the factory or workshop.
@@pat4005 I’m in this business and these companies that move to China hire locals to make products so there is really no such thing as real or fake anymore…it’s just good quality or bad quality.
All Gucci products are manufactured in Prato, a town just outside of Florence, where the brand's headquarters are located. That Italy not China. Stop making up junk 👎
I am a very happy customer of Temu. From furniture to medical aid. Good price and customer service. Most of the products and medical product like first-aid products sold in our big local companies and supermarkets are all made in China anyway.
Amazon shipping rates are rediculous..so far I am a happy temu shopper. The quality of the goods I receive are all exceptional and exact dates honoured. I hope sellers are treated fairly while I continue to pay half the cost for any given product. Happy Temu shopper.
shipping rates? what do u mean for prime membership??ive never paid for amazon shipping...just wait til temu and chinese has complete monopoly and then they can raise prices to w.e. they want
Temu has been awesome for me. I've ordered at least 15 times. Only had one minor issue which was fixed immediately. Orders arrived earlier than stated. I was hesitant about buying clothing, due to bad experience with another company, but was pleasantly surprised with the quality. As long as I can I will continue to place orders.
I was a Temu fanatic at first, but not so much anymore because I’ve noticed the prices have gone up. But I will say, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and shipping from Temu.
I've gotten some decent stuff from them. It was definitely cheaper by far. Quality was about what was expected. I stopped buying from them also for other reasons.
yep, I noticed the last couple of weeks that the prices seem to be going up. I'm actually wondering if Temu has stopped showing me the cheapest prices due to me buying so much there. I too find the quality very good with what I buy there.
@@kulturekreationzshop It IS public information if you're not in an echo chamber. There are numerous accounts of people being burnt from clothing and jewellery, and they were discovered to contain heavy metals beyond acceptable safety levels. And it's popular cause it's cheap shit that's doing a number on our landfills...cause that is where it ends up. That JUNK is non-recyclable. China's already a pollution cesspool and it wants the rest of the world to follow suit.
Or we could just not buy junk that we don't need. Temu isn't about things you need it's about things you want....for cheap. And most humans don't really care about slave labor. I unfortunately do. So my guilty conscience won't allow me to support a company that uses slave labor.
Not only CNN, LA (Times) anything that end with Times spew rubbish, these YT are Gov Paid actors to read out a script, or they revoke their Green Card or they have something dirty on them and if they don’t want jail time they better spew garbage about China
Not only CNN, anything that start or end with (Times) also spew rubbish, he needs to sell his book and make others look bad. Poor guy barely making money and now making ancestors turn in their graves and discuss how to ban him from the family roots
This maybe in America. Who knows 🤔 But down 🇦🇨 under, there's no problem. They have Great quality and Great prices, with fantastic delivery times. The American, Amazon, here is only a bit different than retail pricing, and delivery poor. So take your pick.
Temu are giving fines to seller because they are being forced by various countries because their products have high level of toxicity for example in their plastic products etc. A lot of companies are being asked to look into their products and provide the standard.
I have bought many items from Temu..I love them.. prices about the same as aliexpress ..where is the fuss about them? Also where do you think big brands like Nike etc get their products made.. YES China
Chinese quality is not good. Quality of products have gone down since production of parts was transferred to china. Even then, products of western brands is higher than that of chinese brands. Using chinese software or devices connected to internet is asking for trouble ans espionage.
I used Ali express once. It was a few t-shirts. One never came. I filed for a refund or a new item. The refused it. Oddly enough it showed up out of the blue 9 months later. Still, I'll never buy from them again. What if it had been something more expensive?
I shop on TEMU regularly, and I rarely return anything. I'm in Australia, so our prices on the site aren't as low as American prices, but they are still comparative to big retailers like Kmart and Target. I don't pick rubbish products that I don't need just because they are inexpensive, and I am quite discerning as to what I spend my money on.
I've got to say, the constant China-bashing is quite entertaining. It's all talk, but where's the proof when it comes to allegations of forced labor? Meanwhile, I'm living in the US, and let's be real, our government is doing its fair share of window-dressing when it comes to labor practices. We tout ourselves as a beacon of democracy, but scratch beneath the surface and you'll find some uncomfortable truths. It's almost as if we're trying to distract from our own issues by pointing fingers at China. Newsflash: China has been outsmarting the West for years, and I've got to admire their strategic prowess. Looks like the tables have turned, and we're getting a taste of our own medicine. Perhaps it's time for some introspection instead of finger-wagging?
Totally agree. I haven't seen any proof of forced labor in China but it's widespread in the US to use prisoners and pay them almost nothing for their labor.
@@stuartd9741 are you serious? $2 is a lot of cash in many places. You need to get out more, dude. In some countries, you can get a legit meal for $1. Meanwhile, in the USA, you're getting ripped off paying $40-$50 for a single meal. Who's getting screwed here? Wake up, man.
Something my dad told me a LONG time ago, like decades ago... You can pick any two of the three, but you'll NEVER get all three: 1) Cheap 2) Fast 3) Good
I am a single mom with two disabled kids, I have a small online shop to support my children, I found most of my handmade original designs all over Temu selling them for $7 dollars, my sales went down drastically to the point that I had to find a part time job to keep feeding my children, Temu are known for stealing the hard work of others, I also found my designs on SHEIN and Ali express. 😢
They were great until the scams started. I doubt it was the company but it definitely was employees who had my information and knew when I ordered. Be careful is my advice.
In the two years of buying from Temu, I've never had any problems apart from once there was a missing non essential component which they replaced the whole item and told me to keep the original, so i ended up having two usable items for the price of one and gave one to my friend. I have bought crafting tools, houshold items, shoes and clothes from Temu and never had a problem with quality. All items purchased have been exactly as described and clothes being true to size and good quality with no irregular stitching or unfinished edges. However, it is advisable to check the size guide before buying and reading the description to find out if it is a singular item or a pair. I was looking for fake leather cuff gauntlets for my grandson's halloween costume and i was about to buy it but i looked at the pictures and it was printed on the picture to order two if you wanted a pair. So it pays to take your time and read the ad carefully. Their delivery times are usually five to ten days to the UK and i'll continue to buy from Temu until either they or I cease to exist.
I never had a problem with their orders. Our postal service lost a couple of packages thiugh. I got one as it was in a neighbor's box for about a week. The other they resent. Be wary you may start getting scam emails or even fake charges. I quit buying from them because of this. Attempted scams stopped.
@@villageidiot9867 Hi friend, only read the e-mails telling you that they're either sorting out your purchases, posting your purchases and passed it on to the couriers. Anything else and especially the ones asking for money for delivery, which Temu will never send such an e-mail. If you still choose to not shop with them and I know this might sound like a cliche, or like speaking to a child, i mean no offense but stay safe on line..,.. especially when it's your money. One Love.
Same experience here from Temu - delivering to an address in Australia. I also shop Amazon. Difference between the two - Amazon delivers awfully fast within 24 hours or next day delivery while Temu can take anywhere up to 2 weeks in some orders. Both companies offer order tracking to the door which is great although Amazon uses its own delivery services while Temu tend to use Australia Post which is not the most reliable of courier services (you can be at home waiting throughout the day but the delivery van will claim that no one was in when they called and you will have to go and pick up the parcel yourself from the postal office in a different location in your own time adding to your inconvenience). Also, clothing articles like T-shirts, trousers, belts, socks, medical dressings, and some basic commodities like food and medical supplies etc through Amazon tend to be more expensive than through Temu which can be up to less than half the offering price - or even greater from Amazon. On the other hand, I tend to trust getting electronic (digital) equipment eg USB memory sticks through Amazon than through Temu where sources are a bit suspect in quality and performance claims. Other articles like bags and cases, comparable prices in similar items and models can be found through both companies. Finally, virtually all purchase through Temu incur free delivery while one has to be judicious when choosing an item through amazon - if it is an Amazon Prime product, it incurs no delivery charges but if not, one can be charged delivery fees (at least here in Australia for locally sourced items through Amazon). Reading the find lines is imperative. Like all shopping habits, one has to choose and shop wisely, checking through reviews, read in between the lines especially when shopping on-line as images can deceive - not intentionally but by the way in which images appear through the camera lens and on-screen. Having a tape rule on the side helps in gauging sizes of products. One should always avoid making assumptions - which can lead to getting something that only exists in our own imagination. As always, whether shopping on-line or in-store, applying the rule of "caveat emptor" - "buyer beware" - and you get what you pay for - should always be exercised. Blaming the seller is a cowardly way out of taking personal responsibility if one has not taken all care and personal enquiries before deciding on purchasing something.
Exactly. That's an important observation, because every Temu hit piece uses the same rhetoric. Temu doesn't manufacture products, they are a marketplace platform for sellers. If they don't manufacture why would they need slave labor? If legislation passes you can follow the money back to Amazon lobbyists.
@@briansims7382 There are no Temu products. If products are made by slave labor they are made for the sellers who sell through Temu. If the sellers use slave labor then I have sympathy whatsoever when they whine about not making a profit.
I'm into making quilts. I buy some things from Temu but not fabric because what's offered is cheap grade and seller says cotton in the headline, but in the description from the seller, it often says polyester or poly-cotton blend. I have complained to Temu about this. Cotton threads and embroidery threads are great. Their polyester threads are great, also quilting rulers and rotary cutters, plus other notions. Let's talk Uyghur slave labor. Yes, it's true in the growing and processing of cotton. China is the largest global producer of cotton. Quilters want cotton high end fabric for quilting. High end quilting fabric brands have their fabric printed and finished in South Korea, Japan, and India. These textile manufacturers mostly buy their cotton greige (high quality woven fabric with no color or finishing) from China. Some is from India and the USA. Cherrywood Fabrics with highly advertised "hand dyed" fabric in Colorado, buy their high-quality cotton muslin from China. Most China's textile mills are located in many provinces, including Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu. The major Chinese regions where cotton is a prime crop are the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the Yangtze River Basin (including provinces of Jiangxi and Hubei), and the Huang-Huai Region (mainly in provinces of Hebei, Henan, and Shandong). What's my point? The cotton T-shirts, clothing, underwear, is mostly from China, often grown and harvested by Uyghur slave labor. Grow your own cotton or make sure the cotton is not from China to avoid slave labor.
@@narutofanz85what's wrong with the return policy? I've never been denied a return and have had several returns. As a seller the return policy hurts, but as a buyer it's fantastic.
@@DaniGirl6 if u keep returning you'll soon see a pop up that forces you to acknowledge that your return might be subject to a restocking fee upon inspection, they'll charge your card later. They are cracking down on returns making shopping inconvenient compared to hassle free before
I have never had a single item from Temu which was not exactly as described and the same quality as you'd pay 5 times the price from other outlets, and they buy from the same companies.
Please don’t take this the wrong way because I mean no hate or ill intention by it. Amazon & Temu are for transactional buyers… however it is easier to be scammed by a transactional consumer relationship. It is also less likely for consumers to concerns to get resolved. You become just another number which is why smaller shops like mine do well. We take the time to build relationships with the consumer and tailor products to meet the consumers needs. Smaller shops and customers have reciprocal relationships. Customers are more likely to leave satisfied because the business owner cares more about brand, loyalty and identity than larger transactional sellers. I honestly would rather purchase from someone that actually remembers my birthday and cares about my birthday and asked how my day was then to purchase from somebody that has an internment camp. Just saying.
Thank you for shining light on this. Sadly, what that company is doing is a reflection of a bigger problem. I don't know how anyone builds a business on that distribution chain or those platforms. Too much risk, and abuse. The heavy-handed and absurd control they exert over sellers is just a reflection of that greater force at play. Abuse and corruption is contagious, I guess. And it's all bound to collapse sooner or later.
I ordered a set of drill bits from Temu. They turned up with the ends of the drill bits totally flat. The cutting edges hadn't been machined at all. Useless waste.
People listening to these people and negative comments. Have you ever thought that these guys could be amazon plants to put you off buying from amazon. Amazon have seen the competition and dont like it now they selling on tiktok as well. Have you have stopped to think that competition breeds jealousy and rivalry. What if these videos of youtubers and news reporters knocking Temu are people paid by Amazon to do so.
I doubt Amazon put him up to it. But I suspect he might be an Amazon resellers or has friends/relatives doing that. Cutting out the middlemen would eliminate their livelihood.
I've been buying on Timu without problems...I wonder if this guy is under Amazon payroll. Do your research for yourselves don't let anyone to misguide you
In the early 2000s, I worked for a company that sold licensed and in-house branded hand-held sporting goods, giftware, and travel accessories. They had factories in China with which they worked. I worked with my boss on one particular client. The client is a major American direct sales company that's over 100 years old (not hard to figure out who that is). They always wanted prices cheaper and we always had to go back to the factories and see how we could get prices of plastic down to about $1.00 a piece at a time when plastic components were rising. But in our client's catalog, the item would sell for around $15.00. Knowing how the pipeline of products from Chinese factories to my front doorstep, I never trusted products on Temu. I tried ordering a handful of things once to try it out and the quality was so poor. I know Amazon has its issues, but I'd rather pay them and their sellers more for the same item when I know I'm at least getting a quality item and the sellers are getting what the products are really worth because they set their own price.
I have found that some items on Temu are good deals and some are bad. I don’t care for most of their clothes, since they are all polyester! Crafts supplies and some jewelry are good. Playing their Fish game is nice not worth the effort. You end up buying stuff you don’t need in order to “win” cheap items. It is better to just buy the things.
I’ve been buying things from Temu for over a year and I’ve never had any problems with delivery or returns and quality is not so different from Amazon. You can accuse them for treating their workers badly, so does Amazon and the rest. Prisoners are force to work in America for almost free and we hear nothing about it. The consumer rip off in the West is sickening.
New sub here, thanks for sharing.....I do not buy from Temu EVER,--I dont care how cheap ...how you heard of the saying" you get what you pay for?"......im so surprise people still buy from this platform - I hope TEMU gets shut down all together !
I just stopped listening to that guy bashing Temu. Sounds too much like the bashing Ryanair gets yet it continues to expand and offers cheap fares . Let the public decide ...if Ryanair falls out of the sky and Temu collapses other firms will come along but stop trying to convince us these companies are less ethical than many of the brand names on the market
I ordered a bunch of clothing from there - horrible quality fabric all around- very plasticky. They also don't reveal what the fabric is made of very well. You can't get anything cotton, or even a good quality polyester. The clothing I bought wasn't worth much, and I am shocked it was possibly produced by enslaved Chinese. Re-education camps? Yeah right.
I’ve gotten lots of great shirts for working out … compliments all the time. I have gotten a few items like you mentioned but overall it’s great. I also like it for lingerie, and barre socks etc.
What Temu is doing to suppliers, sounds a lot like what governments around the world are doing to its citizens, to recoup the losses of the financial disaster they caused in 2019 🤔 They’re also putting the squeeze on us in every way possible.
It is what Costco does. If it is not worthwhile for sellers to be on Temu, they can move to Alibaba, AliExpress, Amazon, JD, Tmall, etc. Nobody is forcing them to list on Temu. While they are on Temu, consumers are free to buy. They don't need to worry about morals. This is just Amazon resellers and other middlemen worried about losing their livelihood.
It’s sad people are buying products made my slave labor. Absolutely terrible. How bad do you need a cheep product that you are ok with buying it knowing a slave made it?
You do realize majority of Knick knacks, small electrics, and nearly anything from China is slave labor. Dosnt matter if you get it on temu or Amazon. You just pay a middle man on Amazon to claim it’s not slave labor
If you buy it on amazon, you're buying it from china anyway, so just buy direct from china. You think you're not buying it from a slave? Don't you have a job? You're a modern day slave. Sure, you have more choices.But in the end, what does that really amount to. You can't ever own anything because you'll have to pay some sort of tax on it and if you don't, then your house and your car gets taken away from you, so do you really own anything.
"The average American doesn't care about slave labour." Why should they ,when big businesses and governments around the world have endorsed and utilised these same practices for many years turning a blind eye in the name of huge profits. Governments and big business have allowed national sovereignty to be comprised under the banner "we can't compete, labour too expensive in Western world countries " lies, lies, lies. Industry and farming produce business thrived years ago in these same countries with tariffs in place to protect business and national sovereignty. Global trading is a big con. People world wide are sick of corrupt governments and their shady practices.
The rules oblige the sellers to give your money back if you do not like the product or it was sold at a higher price than on another platform. So, I am happy with Temu!
All my reviews for Temu were one star for the majority of the junk they were sending. They hide the one star reviews on page 50 and probably all fake 5 star reviews on the first 10 pages. 😮
The main concern with temu is the personal security of the buyers. What is the main purpose of the cheapest price in the beginning beyond the business strategy?
I like some of the clothes I ordered. Their art supplies are cheaper so you can try something for less. Some of the local warehouse items are reasonable but some are inflated. I have also returned for credit. I don't mind buying from Temu. I would buy the same things on Amazon for at least 3x the price.
The root of the problem is not Temu but its sellers, companies who are not capable of making quality products. Simply they make crap things. Temu should get rid of those sellers from its shop automatically is the number of complains reach a limit.
There is also another issue Temu is facing which can also ruin their business model. Many of the products sold on Temu are deadly. They contain amounts of toxic heavy metals like lead that's many times the legal limit in many of their products, especially clothing and children's toys. Their electronics have caused house fires and injured people from such poor quality manufacturing. Basically, Temu is selling dangerous and toxic products that I personally wouldn't take even if they paid me for to take them. I don't want to risk burning my home down or poisoning myself. BTW, this is being reported on a number of youtube channels and news networks that cover exposes of such practices, and backed by published findings of lab tests. I don't recall the specifics off the top of my head as this delves into chemistry and other topics outside my area of expertise, but the info is readily available by just searching for it.
Temu and Shein has ruined the American Dream. American businesses can't compete with those low prices and dealing with this horrible economy. People would rather buy a $5 top that lasts a month or 2 than spend's $35 or more in America.
I have bought products from Temu and have NEVER received bad quality or late products. In South Africa EVERYTHING is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. We are tired to be charged for exactly the same products for 200% more expensive.
you will explode with anger and envy because Temu cannot be beaten. I am a regular Temu customer and have only had good experiences with it. As is usual, you are being paid by one of Temu's gigantic economic competitors. I hope my assumption is wrong.
People actually have 3 months to contact Temu for a refund instead of 1 month. The 30 days price adjustment and $5 credit for late orders are also no BS!! I actually received $45 for that a couple of weeks ago because how they separate the orders, just a few items not on time. Their customer service was not great before, but it’s definitely changed. The representative I talked last time lives in Wisconsin, not China.
I don't care where I get what I want as long as it is the lowest price. I literally don't care. You make a product and it's made in China. Then they make 100,000 more of it and sell it on the market as unbranded. I remember when the Hallmark Star Trek shuttlecraft was selling for $24.00. They were hard to get one. Then at a flea market I saw a guy with BOXES of them selling them for $10. So I got five more. Now they are worth around $5. Someone alleged that they made let's say 50,000 for the Hallmark stores and then ran another 100,000 to sell and people ordered them by the box fulls. The market was so saturated that the price plummeted. So I still own six of them and they are worthless. So, if I need something at a low price, I don't care who has it for what..... I worry about me. Those sellers who think they are getting cheated can all stop selling on Temu and let the company fold. It won't happen. People like the low low price.
what is wrong with penalize sellers' mistakes? The sellers are penalizing customers with wrong/ faulty items as well. What should a seller do to avoid being penalized?
How people don't see there's always someone paying the price never ceases to sadden me. My example is not Temu, but Kmart. My husband was thrilled to find a long sleeve for 50 cents. Yes, 50 cents. This was back in 2016. He wanted to grab the t-shirt (there was absolutely nothing wrong with it). I said no and explained why. "If you walk backwards, in this line, from the store shelf to the factory, who do you think is not getting paid just for you to feel like you're scoring this amazing bargain?" We can't fight every battle, but some I pick. If the deal is too good to be true, the product might not really be garbage, it might be someone getting s....d over. This part of our culture just makes me so 😡
Well, say what you want, we will continue to buy from Temu. Overall we have had good products. The biggest problem is their (or their vendors) shipping. One or more orders get squeezed into a small package, and often gets crushed, or bend. We just ask for a refund and move on.

The slaves in US are blacks, mexican, hispanics. The slaves in China are Humanoids and Robots. That's the different.
Classic monopoly middleman arbitrage, Amazon does exactly the same thing in the US by enabling competitors from China who copy US made products. Things like copying product images and not enforcing US patents/copyrights makes Amazon an absolute mess. The best way is to always establish your own brand separate from these platforms.
Etsy is in the same boat, apparently, and so is eBay
@@erniesulovic4734 ebay is really bad. there are stores selling thousands of products with automated dropshipping from other sellers, where they simply automate grabbing photos/descriptions from other stores and add a 10% markup and then any sales they refer back to the original seller. Its incredibly frustrating that ebay does nothing to stop this.
Etsy has an issue with sellers who arent artisanal stores selling hand made unique products. They are reselling crap from temu.
@@erniesulovic4734 etsy will take down a shop in once second for copyright or trademark.
Well said. I quit eBay because of that same problem. I started doing scroll sawing, as well as landscaping locally; money has only been getting better, and the environment is pricelss. If you want something made with a scroll saw, hit me up and tell me your skills. Maybe we can trade goods and or services, lol.
Yeah, you go ahead and do that. Let me know how well it works out for your business.😂
China is the one who makes just about everything we own in the U.S. so what's the big deal? We already know China can make some really good replicas of more expensive items like Gucci LV.
The problem with this is Gucci and LV are both made in China so which is the replica when both are made is the same country?
The quality of the materials and workmanship are what makes the difference between the name brand and rip-off brand.
When a company hires another company to manufacture a product they have designed, the factory is hired to do a certain level of quality.
So any combination of the level of quality of materials and quality level of workmanship is up to what the person or company is willing to pay the factory or workshop.
@@pat4005 I’m in this business and these companies that move to China hire locals to make products so there is really no such thing as real or fake anymore…it’s just good quality or bad quality.
All Gucci products are manufactured in Prato, a town just outside of Florence, where the brand's headquarters are located. That Italy not China. Stop making up junk 👎
@@DaniGirl6 no it’s not made in Italy.
Verified by CNN.. PRICELESS 🤭🤭🤭
I am a very happy customer of Temu. From furniture to medical aid. Good price and customer service. Most of the products and medical product like first-aid products sold in our big local companies and supermarkets are all made in China anyway.
😰 that's not good, regardless... even chinese here where I live don't want Chinese products. That screams something.
@@dodohateswater That is too bad. We love Chinese products and make millions from selling them. : D
Amazon shipping rates are rediculous..so far I am a happy temu shopper.

I hope sellers are treated fairly while I continue to pay half the cost for any given product.

Temu has been awesome for me. I've ordered at least 15 times. Only had one minor issue which was fixed immediately. Orders arrived earlier than stated. I was hesitant about buying clothing, due to bad experience with another company, but was pleasantly surprised with the quality. As long as I can I will continue to place orders.
I ordered once and everything was CHEAP and shitty quality. I'll buy from sources that take pride in what they make instead.
I was a Temu fanatic at first, but not so much anymore because I’ve noticed the prices have gone up. But I will say, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and shipping from Temu.
I've gotten some decent stuff from them. It was definitely cheaper by far. Quality was about what was expected. I stopped buying from them also for other reasons.
yep, I noticed the last couple of weeks that the prices seem to be going up. I'm actually wondering if Temu has stopped showing me the cheapest prices due to me buying so much there. I too find the quality very good with what I buy there.
You also got a lot of freebies like unsafe elevated lead levels, mercury and arsenic. Yay!!! 🤦
@@robynandrews4384 Don't be an a-hole ... OBVIOUSLY if the general public knew about that, Temu wouldn't be as popular as they are smart guy.
@@kulturekreationzshop It IS public information if you're not in an echo chamber. There are numerous accounts of people being burnt from clothing and jewellery, and they were discovered to contain heavy metals beyond acceptable safety levels. And it's popular cause it's cheap shit that's doing a number on our landfills...cause that is where it ends up. That JUNK is non-recyclable. China's already a pollution cesspool and it wants the rest of the world to follow suit.
Hi I love Temu always on time with delivery some items are a bit cheap but if not happy you get a refund,I am in in Australia.
Never had a problem with Temu, 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So we will pay double or triple in buying THE SAME ITEMS from Amazon, Home Depot, Wayfair etc.
Or we could just not buy junk that we don't need. Temu isn't about things you need it's about things you want....for cheap. And most humans don't really care about slave labor. I unfortunately do. So my guilty conscience won't allow me to support a company that uses slave labor.
@@NeilMoore Get rid of your conscience, problem solved.
There’s no free lunch…….ever.🥪

I haven’t had any problems with Temu. I get free shipping in purchases over $20. Great products and super affordable.
You almost got me until you used CNN as a source😅

Yeah right, bot
You like slaves making your cheap phone holders ?
Shame on you
This maybe in America. Who knows 🤔
But down 🇦🇨 under, there's no problem. They have Great quality and Great prices, with fantastic delivery times.
The American, Amazon, here is only a bit different than retail pricing, and delivery poor. So take your pick.
We all know amazon is the one feeling threatened
Ohh man I wanted to shop like a billionaire. 😂😂
Yes, what a tacky slogan.
If i was a billionaire I would not buy this garbage on Temu. I do not buy it anyways
But the garbage bill has left me bankrupt
I tried them once, bought 6 items and none of them lasted more than a day. Rip off
I have only bought a handbag from Temu - but quality is lacking! That will be the first and last !!

The silicone sockets are top notch.

Temu are giving fines to seller because they are being forced by various countries because their products have high level of toxicity for example in their plastic products etc. A lot of companies are being asked to look into their products and provide the standard.
Amazon is on the boycott list. So millions are not buying from them anymore and buying from alternative sources.
The issue with Temu is that the quality is cheap. No one wants garbage products.
Stuff you buy locally are also garbage, dollar stores are 10 times worse.
One thing in common - made in China.
I have bought many items from Temu..I love them.. prices about the same as aliexpress ..where is the fuss about them? Also where do you think big brands like Nike etc get their products made.. YES China
My experience on Temu has been very positive as well. They also have accessible and excellent customer service
Me too,love Temu,been buying from them almost every month. What is also good to know is that they fine suppliers where customers return their items
Other than the prices ... being cheaper, no difference if we go to Wally World, or Sams World, nearly everything comes from China.
Chinese quality is not good. Quality of products have gone down since production of parts was transferred to china. Even then, products of western brands is higher than that of chinese brands. Using chinese software or devices connected to internet is asking for trouble ans espionage.
I used Ali express once. It was a few t-shirts. One never came. I filed for a refund or a new item. The refused it. Oddly enough it showed up out of the blue 9 months later. Still, I'll never buy from them again. What if it had been something more expensive?
I shop on TEMU regularly, and I rarely return anything. I'm in Australia, so our prices on the site aren't as low as American prices, but they are still comparative to big retailers like Kmart and Target. I don't pick rubbish products that I don't need just because they are inexpensive, and I am quite discerning as to what I spend my money on.

I've got to say, the constant China-bashing is quite entertaining. It's all talk, but where's the proof when it comes to allegations of forced labor? Meanwhile, I'm living in the US, and let's be real, our government is doing its fair share of window-dressing when it comes to labor practices. We tout ourselves as a beacon of democracy, but scratch beneath the surface and you'll find some uncomfortable truths. It's almost as if we're trying to distract from our own issues by pointing fingers at China. Newsflash: China has been outsmarting the West for years, and I've got to admire their strategic prowess. Looks like the tables have turned, and we're getting a taste of our own medicine. Perhaps it's time for some introspection instead of finger-wagging?
Totally agree. I haven't seen any proof of forced labor in China but it's widespread in the US to use prisoners and pay them almost nothing for their labor.
Sound like a bot to me.

Something my dad told me a LONG time ago, like decades ago...
You can pick any two of the three, but you'll NEVER get all three:
1) Cheap
2) Fast
3) Good
after I ordered two items and they were switched for something entirely different, I refuse to use them.
Leave them alone. They are a great online merchant.
You are only jealous. 😊
I am a single mom with two disabled kids, I have a small online shop to support my children, I found most of my handmade original designs all over Temu selling them for $7 dollars, my sales went down drastically to the point that I had to find a part time job to keep feeding my children, Temu are known for stealing the hard work of others, I also found my designs on SHEIN and Ali express. 😢
You sound like a chinese spy.
They were great until the scams started. I doubt it was the company but it definitely was employees who had my information and knew when I ordered. Be careful is my advice.
@villageidiot9867 what scam?
I've never shopped TEMU and never will. There's just something not right about them.
Exactly the whole concept seems off to me..
So why are you here opening your big fat rear end!
It's not worth it. I've tested with three phones. All identical in sucking you in with specials and promotions.
What's not right if you never used them?
In the two years of buying from Temu, I've never had any problems apart from once there was a missing non essential component which they replaced the whole item and told me to keep the original, so i ended up having two usable items for the price of one and gave one to my friend.
I have bought crafting tools, houshold items, shoes and clothes from Temu and never had a problem with quality.
All items purchased have been exactly as described and clothes being true to size and good quality with no irregular stitching or unfinished edges. However, it is advisable to check the size guide before buying and reading the description to find out if it is a singular item or a pair. I was looking for fake leather cuff gauntlets for my grandson's halloween costume and i was about to buy it but i looked at the pictures and it was printed on the picture to order two if you wanted a pair. So it pays to take your time and read the ad carefully. Their delivery times are usually five to ten days to the UK and i'll continue to buy from Temu until either they or I cease to exist.
I never had a problem with their orders. Our postal service lost a couple of packages thiugh. I got one as it was in a neighbor's box for about a week. The other they resent. Be wary you may start getting scam emails or even fake charges. I quit buying from them because of this. Attempted scams stopped.
@@villageidiot9867 Hi friend, only read the e-mails telling you that they're either sorting out your purchases, posting your purchases and passed it on to the couriers. Anything else and especially the ones asking for money for delivery, which Temu will never send such an e-mail. If you still choose to not shop with them and I know this might sound like a cliche, or like speaking to a child, i mean no offense but stay safe on line..,.. especially when it's your money.
One Love.
Same experience here from Temu - delivering to an address in Australia. I also shop Amazon.
Difference between the two - Amazon delivers awfully fast within 24 hours or next day delivery while Temu can take anywhere up to 2 weeks in some orders. Both companies offer order tracking to the door which is great although Amazon uses its own delivery services while Temu tend to use Australia Post which is not the most reliable of courier services (you can be at home waiting throughout the day but the delivery van will claim that no one was in when they called and you will have to go and pick up the parcel yourself from the postal office in a different location in your own time adding to your inconvenience).
Also, clothing articles like T-shirts, trousers, belts, socks, medical dressings, and some basic commodities like food and medical supplies etc through Amazon tend to be more expensive than through Temu which can be up to less than half the offering price - or even greater from Amazon.
On the other hand, I tend to trust getting electronic (digital) equipment eg USB memory sticks through Amazon than through Temu where sources are a bit suspect in quality and performance claims. Other articles like bags and cases, comparable prices in similar items and models can be found through both companies.
Finally, virtually all purchase through Temu incur free delivery while one has to be judicious when choosing an item through amazon - if it is an Amazon Prime product, it incurs no delivery charges but if not, one can be charged delivery fees (at least here in Australia for locally sourced items through Amazon). Reading the find lines is imperative.
Like all shopping habits, one has to choose and shop wisely, checking through reviews, read in between the lines especially when shopping on-line as images can deceive - not intentionally but by the way in which images appear through the camera lens and on-screen. Having a tape rule on the side helps in gauging sizes of products. One should always avoid making assumptions - which can lead to getting something that only exists in our own imagination.
As always, whether shopping on-line or in-store, applying the rule of "caveat emptor" - "buyer beware" - and you get what you pay for - should always be exercised. Blaming the seller is a cowardly way out of taking personal responsibility if one has not taken all care and personal enquiries before deciding on purchasing something.
I didn't hear you address people getting their card information stolen which has happened alot more than anyone realizes.
My son told me that and a few young people said it too.
You started off saying they're all slaves working for Temu and then you saying the sellers not getting their money from Temu.
Probably both..
Think about it.
Goods selling for 2.00$?
Someone is getting fleeced or harsh labour conditions....
Exactly. That's an important observation, because every Temu hit piece uses the same rhetoric. Temu doesn't manufacture products, they are a marketplace platform for sellers. If they don't manufacture why would they need slave labor?
If legislation passes you can follow the money back to Amazon lobbyists.
Both can be true, some products are made in an area know to have prison labor, but not all
@@briansims7382 There are no Temu products. If products are made by slave labor they are made for the sellers who sell through Temu.
If the sellers use slave labor then I have sympathy whatsoever when they whine about not making a profit.
I'm into making quilts. I buy some things from Temu but not fabric because what's offered is cheap grade and seller says cotton in the headline, but in the description from the seller, it often says polyester or poly-cotton blend. I have complained to Temu about this. Cotton threads and embroidery threads are great. Their polyester threads are great, also quilting rulers and rotary cutters, plus other notions.
Let's talk Uyghur slave labor. Yes, it's true in the growing and processing of cotton. China is the largest global producer of cotton. Quilters want cotton high end fabric for quilting. High end quilting fabric brands have their fabric printed and finished in South Korea, Japan, and India. These textile manufacturers mostly buy their cotton greige (high quality woven fabric with no color or finishing) from China. Some is from India and the USA. Cherrywood Fabrics with highly advertised "hand dyed" fabric in Colorado, buy their high-quality cotton muslin from China.
Most China's textile mills are located in many provinces, including Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu. The major Chinese regions where cotton is a prime crop are the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the Yangtze River Basin (including provinces of Jiangxi and Hubei), and the Huang-Huai Region (mainly in provinces of Hebei, Henan, and Shandong).
What's my point? The cotton T-shirts, clothing, underwear, is mostly from China, often grown and harvested by Uyghur slave labor. Grow your own cotton or make sure the cotton is not from China to avoid slave labor.
Amazon is next. It used to be very low prices, fastest delivery. No more!!!
Couldn't agree with u more. The bs return policies made me stop buying from Amazon as much. I look elsewhere now
@@narutofanz85what's wrong with the return policy? I've never been denied a return and have had several returns.
As a seller the return policy hurts, but as a buyer it's fantastic.
They raised the free shipping to £35 minimum from £20
i still prefer buying from store where i can see the product i am buying even if amazon has good return process!!!
@@DaniGirl6 if u keep returning you'll soon see a pop up that forces you to acknowledge that your return might be subject to a restocking fee upon inspection, they'll charge your card later. They are cracking down on returns making shopping inconvenient compared to hassle free before
I have never had a single item from Temu which was not exactly as described and the same quality as you'd pay 5 times the price from other outlets, and they buy from the same companies.
Please don’t take this the wrong way because I mean no hate or ill intention by it. Amazon & Temu are for transactional buyers… however it is easier to be scammed by a transactional consumer relationship. It is also less likely for consumers to concerns to get resolved. You become just another number which is why smaller shops like mine do well.
We take the time to build relationships with the consumer and tailor products to meet the consumers needs. Smaller shops and customers have reciprocal relationships. Customers are more likely to leave satisfied because the business owner cares more about brand, loyalty and identity than larger transactional sellers. I honestly would rather purchase from someone that actually remembers my birthday and cares about my birthday and asked how my day was then to purchase from somebody that has an internment camp. Just saying.
Thank you for shining light on this.
Sadly, what that company is doing is a reflection of a bigger problem. I don't know how anyone builds a business on that distribution chain or those platforms. Too much risk, and abuse.
The heavy-handed and absurd control they exert over sellers is just a reflection of that greater force at play. Abuse and corruption is contagious, I guess. And it's all bound to collapse sooner or later.
I ordered a set of drill bits from Temu. They turned up with the ends of the drill bits totally flat. The cutting edges hadn't been machined at all. Useless waste.
Never shopped on there and have no plans to in the future.
You always talking about TEMU.
You are obsessed with TEMUUUU😅
Temu will be a Largest marketplace in the whole World!
Of certain kind of people. Smart people do not use it or similar.
CCP boy spotted!
People listening to these people and negative comments. Have you ever thought that these guys could be amazon plants to put you off buying from amazon. Amazon have seen the competition and dont like it now they selling on tiktok as well. Have you have stopped to think that competition breeds jealousy and rivalry. What if these videos of youtubers and news reporters knocking Temu are people paid by Amazon to do so.
I doubt Amazon put him up to it. But I suspect he might be an Amazon resellers or has friends/relatives doing that. Cutting out the middlemen would eliminate their livelihood.
Hurry up, order Temu before the law, and take an effect.
Thank you for the educational information
AND Amazon wants to be Temu Version 2.0 by doing the same things.
I've been buying on Timu without problems...I wonder if this guy is under Amazon payroll.
Do your research for yourselves don't let anyone to misguide you
I see what you did there, instead of using the correct spelling, Temu, you made up a spelling, Timu 😅😅😅😅....
What items do you buy? Coz electronics in Temu are garbage.
In the early 2000s, I worked for a company that sold licensed and in-house branded hand-held sporting goods, giftware, and travel accessories. They had factories in China with which they worked. I worked with my boss on one particular client. The client is a major American direct sales company that's over 100 years old (not hard to figure out who that is). They always wanted prices cheaper and we always had to go back to the factories and see how we could get prices of plastic down to about $1.00 a piece at a time when plastic components were rising. But in our client's catalog, the item would sell for around $15.00. Knowing how the pipeline of products from Chinese factories to my front doorstep, I never trusted products on Temu. I tried ordering a handful of things once to try it out and the quality was so poor. I know Amazon has its issues, but I'd rather pay them and their sellers more for the same item when I know I'm at least getting a quality item and the sellers are getting what the products are really worth because they set their own price.
I have found that some items on Temu are good deals and some are bad. I don’t care for most of their clothes, since they are all polyester! Crafts supplies and some jewelry are good. Playing their Fish game is nice not worth the effort. You end up buying stuff you don’t need in order to “win” cheap items. It is better to just buy the things.
@@Nwladylaura369 I’m not into buying what I don’t need and I know that is what Temu is banking on… so I stay off their app! 🤣
I’ve been buying things from Temu for over a year and I’ve never had any problems with delivery or returns and quality is not so different from Amazon. You can accuse them for treating their workers badly, so does Amazon and the rest. Prisoners are force to work in America for almost free and we hear nothing about it. The consumer rip off in the West is sickening.

Crazy biz practices. I've always heard the losses weren't an issue because the CCP was subsidizing it in order to gain US Marketshare. Thoughts?
That makes no sense. But what you get might be from liquidation or factory rejects. Don't see how market share is a thing on these sites.
No complaints with TEMU, reasonable affordable prices.
Lots of people said their credit card information was compromised. If that doesn't bother you, then go right ahead and order from them. Not me.
I just stopped listening to that guy bashing Temu. Sounds too much like the bashing Ryanair gets yet it continues to expand and offers cheap fares . Let the public decide ...if Ryanair falls out of the sky and Temu collapses other firms will come along but stop trying to convince us these companies are less ethical than many of the brand names on the market

They do local sellers now. Items shipped from in the USA. I found stuff being sold on the platform from Walmart. Can’t beat them join them.
The more i see ads for them, the more i don't want to ever use them.
I ordered a bunch of clothing from there - horrible quality fabric all around- very plasticky. They also don't reveal what the fabric is made of very well. You can't get anything cotton, or even a good quality polyester. The clothing I bought wasn't worth much, and I am shocked it was possibly produced by enslaved Chinese. Re-education camps? Yeah right.
I’ve gotten lots of great shirts for working out … compliments all the time. I have gotten a few items like you mentioned but overall it’s great. I also like it for lingerie, and barre socks etc.
You expected Uyghur grown cotton for $2.97? Everyone knows that even sl@ve cotton clothes cost more than that.
yes you can they have a section where you can refine your search it offeres materials colour ect you clearly never used it
I've gotten lots of very nice clothes on Temu. I find your comment very hard to believe.
The stuff that you buy on Temu varies.
I'm very proud to say that I didn't fall in temu's trap ✌️✌️✌️I always choose the quality over cheap not worthy things
CNN as trusted news. LOLOLOL
What Temu is doing to suppliers, sounds a lot like what governments around the world are doing to its citizens, to recoup the losses of the financial disaster they caused in 2019 🤔 They’re also putting the squeeze on us in every way possible.
It is what Costco does. If it is not worthwhile for sellers to be on Temu, they can move to Alibaba, AliExpress, Amazon, JD, Tmall, etc. Nobody is forcing them to list on Temu.
While they are on Temu, consumers are free to buy. They don't need to worry about morals. This is just Amazon resellers and other middlemen worried about losing their livelihood.
It’s sad people are buying products made my slave labor. Absolutely terrible. How bad do you need a cheep product that you are ok with buying it knowing a slave made it?
Lmfao 🤣 I guess you don't realize the European got its money from slavery, and the USA still has slavery with its prison system...
You do realize majority of Knick knacks, small electrics, and nearly anything from China is slave labor. Dosnt matter if you get it on temu or Amazon. You just pay a middle man on Amazon to claim it’s not slave labor
If you buy it on amazon, you're buying it from china anyway, so just buy direct from china. You think you're not buying it from a slave? Don't you have a job? You're a modern day slave. Sure, you have more choices.But in the end, what does that really amount to. You can't ever own anything because you'll have to pay some sort of tax on it and if you don't, then your house and your car gets taken away from you, so do you really own anything.
Much of America was built on slave labor that you’re benefiting from today.
It's not slavery, if we call it re-education!
"The average American doesn't care about slave labour." Why should they ,when big businesses and governments around the world have endorsed and utilised these same practices for many years turning a blind eye in the name of huge profits. Governments and big business have allowed national sovereignty to be comprised under the banner "we can't compete, labour too expensive in Western world countries " lies, lies, lies. Industry and farming produce business thrived years ago in these same countries with tariffs in place to protect business and national sovereignty. Global trading is a big con. People world wide are sick of corrupt governments and their shady practices.
especialy that in USA lots of firms use prisoners labour witch is in reality slave labour.
Temu need to fall faster. It's hurting both buyers and sellers.
so do not buy it. I do not have any issue but if there is issue. I do not worry because it is cheap.
bs it's not hurting buyers.
The rules oblige the sellers to give your money back if you do not like the product or it was sold at a higher price than on another platform. So, I am happy with Temu!
All my reviews for Temu were one star for the majority of the junk they were sending. They hide the one star reviews on page 50 and probably all fake 5 star reviews on the first 10 pages. 😮
The main concern with temu is the personal security of the buyers.
What is the main purpose of the cheapest price in the beginning beyond the business strategy?
I like some of the clothes I ordered. Their art supplies are cheaper so you can try something for less. Some of the local warehouse items are reasonable but some are inflated. I have also returned for credit. I don't mind buying from Temu. I would buy the same things on Amazon for at least 3x the price.
I recently ordered a celling fan shipped out from Amazon where house just takes few days longer then buying Amazon website
Temu is incapable of sending products that’s aren’t damaged.
Then don’t buy them. I buy them knowing well the risks. Most of the time it isn’t damaged.
Amazon just doesn’t like having this competition
I hope they close down.
The root of the problem is not Temu but its sellers, companies who are not capable of making quality products. Simply they make crap things. Temu should get rid of those sellers from its shop automatically is the number of complains reach a limit.
I am a happy temu customer
There is also another issue Temu is facing which can also ruin their business model. Many of the products sold on Temu are deadly. They contain amounts of toxic heavy metals like lead that's many times the legal limit in many of their products, especially clothing and children's toys. Their electronics have caused house fires and injured people from such poor quality manufacturing. Basically, Temu is selling dangerous and toxic products that I personally wouldn't take even if they paid me for to take them. I don't want to risk burning my home down or poisoning myself. BTW, this is being reported on a number of youtube channels and news networks that cover exposes of such practices, and backed by published findings of lab tests. I don't recall the specifics off the top of my head as this delves into chemistry and other topics outside my area of expertise, but the info is readily available by just searching for it.
Temu and Shein has ruined the American Dream. American businesses can't compete with those low prices and dealing with this horrible economy. People would rather buy a $5 top that lasts a month or 2 than spend's $35 or more in America.
@@Zoeebella we had to close our store front.
or the other argument is some thing that use to cost 5 bucks now cost 500 and these companys have gotten greedy
I have bought products from Temu and have NEVER received bad quality or late products. In South Africa EVERYTHING is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. We are tired to be charged for exactly the same products for 200% more expensive.
you will explode with anger and envy because Temu cannot be beaten. I am a regular Temu customer and have only had good experiences with it. As is usual, you are being paid by one of Temu's gigantic economic competitors. I hope my assumption is wrong.
Chinese voice with Cauc avatar. Nice.
People actually have 3 months to contact Temu for a refund instead of 1 month.
The 30 days price adjustment and $5 credit for late orders are also no BS!! I actually received $45 for that a couple of weeks ago because how they separate the orders, just a few items not on time.
Their customer service was not great before, but it’s definitely changed. The representative I talked last time lives in Wisconsin, not China.
I'm so sick of temu advertisement on TH-cam.It's ridiculous
I don't care where I get what I want as long as it is the lowest price. I literally don't care. You make a product and it's made in China. Then they make 100,000 more of it and sell it on the market as unbranded. I remember when the Hallmark Star Trek shuttlecraft was selling for $24.00. They were hard to get one. Then at a flea market I saw a guy with BOXES of them selling them for $10. So I got five more. Now they are worth around $5. Someone alleged that they made let's say 50,000 for the Hallmark stores and then ran another 100,000 to sell and people ordered them by the box fulls. The market was so saturated that the price plummeted. So I still own six of them and they are worthless. So, if I need something at a low price, I don't care who has it for what..... I worry about me.
Those sellers who think they are getting cheated can all stop selling on Temu and let the company fold. It won't happen. People like the low low price.
what is wrong with penalize sellers' mistakes? The sellers are penalizing customers with wrong/ faulty items as well. What should a seller do to avoid being penalized?
People need to stop buying so much crap that ends up in landfill.
Their ads said "you shop like billionaire" so prices are high
Amazon sponsored Temu is the future of home shopping like everything American businesses hates competition
How people don't see there's always someone paying the price never ceases to sadden me. My example is not Temu, but Kmart. My husband was thrilled to find a long sleeve for 50 cents. Yes, 50 cents. This was back in 2016. He wanted to grab the t-shirt (there was absolutely nothing wrong with it). I said no and explained why. "If you walk backwards, in this line, from the store shelf to the factory, who do you think is not getting paid just for you to feel like you're scoring this amazing bargain?" We can't fight every battle, but some I pick. If the deal is too good to be true, the product might not really be garbage, it might be someone getting s....d over. This part of our culture just makes me so 😡
Well, say what you want, we will continue to buy from Temu. Overall we have had good products. The biggest problem is their (or their vendors) shipping. One or more orders get squeezed into a small package, and often gets crushed, or bend. We just ask for a refund and move on.
I blame the buyers. Period
This is what happens to companies that continually rip off their customers.
I’ve ordered hundreds of bits from Temu over the last 2 years. 99% of the items were great. No problem at all
