At those prices, I just see people in countries that have lax labor laws, working at slave wages while American and European jobs continue to disappear. Once enough American and European manufacturers and retailers are forced out of business due to being unable to compete, I don't know what would happen next.
Keep up that good thinking
I was beyond furious when, after voting for the philandering panderer, the Clinton Dynasty passed the Bush Dynasty's trade agreements that sent our pollution, technical expertise, jobs, taxes & tradition of slavery to China (who now ranks as our Enemy #1) & made GILDED AGE ON STEROIDS tax-free Clusterfu**ing Conglomerate Criminals their illbegotten hundreds of billions they now use to buy even more lax legislation to benefit themselves while leaving half the world starving. And while offshoring their manufacturing, crafting conglomerates continue to charge unbelievably extortionate prices for their often substandard products that are largely offered online & delivered many weeks later at sky-high shipping rates. So anybody consenting to being continuously treated like useless idiots by these shameless swindlers is ridiculously foolish when they can buy the same thing for pennies on the dollar at Temu.
It's why I strive not to purchase anything made in China - admittedly not the easiest thing to do.
I have a problem with how China's authoritarian government treats it's citizens and how mainland China wants to take over Taiwan when they have their own government and president.
Me too.
I didn't even think of slave labor. I have never bought from them and will be conscious of this when I see too good to be true discount websites.
Thanks for your input!
I've placed several orders with Temu and have been very satisfied. There is an area for descriptions and measurements and I go there to avoid surprises. Really like shopping with them.
I had no issues with returning anything. My refund was in my account just days later. Thank you for your review.
I had no problem with them . Love the clothes and products I have bought over the last two years!!! I had a new grandbaby! Lol
Same here! My kitchen is full of really great items, lots of craft items like crochet needles. wooden knitting needles, lots of pens and painting supplies, etc. I love TEMU.
I have used Temu several times. My only complaint is having to take a picture of each item you want to return. Also there's a sizing problem for me. Several items that had measures that would fit me were too small.
I bought hundred dollars of stuff from Temu only to be dissatisfied with the sizing on my pets clothes! My grandbabies clothes sizing was perfect. And my kitchen stuff has been great. However I’m skeptical to buy my clothes online for I run into sizing problems on every site just about lol
I give TEMU a 9/10!!!!!
Love them and the free shipping and very affordable prices!!!!
I agree! Thanks
I have only returned 1 clothing item and they didn’t want it back. I was given the option to get a refund to my credit card or be credited immediately with a Temu credit, which I chose. They said I could donate the item, share it with a friend or anything I would like to do. I also got a credit to my Temu account when another shipment was delivered later than expected. I’ve been very happy with their timely handling of problems and their prices. I’ve ordered from them many times and have a lot of very nice products. I’m able to try things out without feeling horrible about spending high dollars for duds! 👍🏼
Did you buy any dresses.? I'm very curious about this site
Yes. I bought a dress, a warm jacket, a beach cover-up, some bathing suits, some t-shirt type tops, a button down shirt, stretch dress pants, a sports bra and a few other things. I’ve always washed them before wearing them and have never had a problem with them.
@@susanaitken6655 what about the sizes in clothing 🤔
@@vivianhelt8860 I ordered a pair of athletic shoes that Temu advertised on Facebook. I chose the US size for the shoes. They did not fit. I did eventually get a refund but I had about given up by the time I received the refund. Would have sent the shoes back but never received the return process information. Still have the shoes. Will give them to someone. I was not going to use them again. This video has made me think about ordering something’s from them. Will not replace Amazon for me! We need more US manufacturers for these type of items!
I do recommend using a debit card. I'm told never give them your credit card.
I admit it I'm a Temu junkie. I love all that i have ordered with a few exceptions. Returns are super easy. Love the prices!
I’m a Temu junkie as well!!!! Love it!
Is it safe to use your debit/ credit card?
@@jennifers8843 they also accept paypal as well. but haven't had an issue with cards either.
Now your credit card information is in their hands and you can’t get it back. Many people have woke up to empty bank accounts that have been drained… enjoy your “stuff”
Yes love t mue better than walmart market place
A lot of the stuff I got from Temu was junky. I still prefer brick and mortar, where I can see and touch what I am buying before I buy it.
Even stuff coming fr amazon is junk
No kidding, you order $100 worth of stuff, don’t order any of the gloves or the hats or anything that comes with misspelled English stuff on it, who would wear that in public. I wear it around the house, but it wasn’t worth the money And the jewelry. Oh my god is that junk! I definitely need to see stuff before I buy it😂
Suspiciously affordable, because most of it is junk. I did like my little eyeglass chains, though.😊
I've learned the hard way from ordering things from companies on Facebook and online,. But if you can't buy it from Walmart or target. Don't forget it because you're bound to get screwed
Ive had mostly good results from Temu and order regularly.
I ordered a Dyson stick vacuum from target in the fall, I was interested in the attachment set, but it was more expensive than I paid for the vacuum, so I checked Temu, and ordered the attachment set from them. One of the attachments was a repeat of one that came with the vacuum, the Temu one is exactly the same as the original. I got a set of 5 attachments for $30 compared to 10 times more on Amazon.
That’s amazing!!!

You just gave China American money get a clue
Yeah, but temu is supposedly "stealing customer info." What about them possibly stealing your credit card info and claiming it was done by "hackers"?
Our credit card companies are already doing business with them. Doesn't this mean our banks are connected as well? Just wondering
.
I've heard the same threat.
I made an order with Temu about a month ago. The order was late getting to me and I did receive a $5 discount on my next order. I was fine with this. The quality of the items appears to be decent. I had ordered a replacement lid for my travel mug that didn't fit and when I checked my order I had ordered the wrong size so that was on me. I found it was very easy to opt out of txt alerts and it worked immediately. I will order again. I do agree, with all the offers it is very easy to spend way more than you originally intended to so you have to watch. Overall was a good experience though.
It's very honorable, that you refused to be sponsored in order to make an honest review !!! 🙂
Thank you!!!!
She's like that, though.
Great video…I was curious about them too. Thanks for the info.
Great video❤
And yes I wear crocs and so do my kids and grandkids 😂
I teach crafts at a senior center. I buy almost everything from Temu or SHEIN. Temu has never disappointed. There stuff is quality and actually you get some of the same exact things on Amazon, but the price difference is quite a bit different. Amazon is very expensive in comparison. My orders from Temu have ALWAYS been before the expected date. I have not tried to return anything, because I learned a long time ago, to read, and reread everything before you buy. I’m very happy with Temu. As far as made in China, try to find most crafts supplies made here in America. If you buy at DT you are buying the same thing from Temu.
If you do your homework, you aren't buying the same thing you buy from Temu.
What is DT? Sorry…to have to ask.

I LOVE TEMU prices on clothes and kitchen gadgets i orderd too much got carried away with the low prices like a kid in a candy store. Now i am totally addicted to Temu . My husband is happy for me getting bargains. ❤❤😊
Thank you for this. I got my first order this week. I am a certified pastry chef, and i was MORE than pleased with the silicone fondant molds. I have a second order ready to go.
That is amazing to hear! Thank you, Susan!!! Now.... do you need a volunteer to sample any pastries??? :)
I’ve used Temu several times over the last few years. I’ve never had a problem with returns, which is free, as long as you make one return per order. If you return something now, and decide to return something else later from that same order, you will be charged shipping.
Customer service has been great, as well.
Thanks for the great feedback!
I'm from Canada. I've ordered a few orders from Temu. I like their prices...been happy with most everything I've ordered so far other then one. And I was able to get an immediate refund and didn't have to return the items. And yes, I have definitely gone down the Temu rabbit hole...on more then one occasion. 😂😅
Same here. I filed for a refund on two clothing items that were too large. I was given an option of a refund or store credit and told to just keep the two items.
Pitch the evil pic.
I wish you would not order from them. But it's your choice and conscious. GOD bless you and yours.
@@carolyncarver6822 You don't state your reason. Rather a random comment without content.
The rabbit hole is why I haven't ordered yet!
I received my 4th order today. Some kitchen stuff, jewelry charms and stones, some resin molds and tools, and few other random things. Everything has been packaged well, no bad smells on anything and so far the quality has been great. One of our favorite items is the paper liners for the air fryer. They are fantastic and make cleanup so much easier.
I bought a silicone liner for my air fryer. A few months ago, before I knew about Timu, I ordered the same silicone liner from Amazon. The exact same one from Temu is a third of the price. I like the silicone much better than the paper. And when I'm done, I just put it in the dishwasher.
I just hate to be a downer but, it is what it is sorry. I feel that your viewers should know, I recently received a partial order from Temu it was quit a large on around seventy item. Well around 25 items were not in the package! That’s a huge amount! I called them and they credited me for the item, I really wanted the items that were missing and would have waited for them but that not a option. So check your recipes or you lose your money. Just thought I would have known!😢
I'd like to know how to call them where'd u find their #?
I’ve ordered from Temu a few times. They have very accurate descriptions for every item I’ve ordered. One just needs to take the time to read.
Temu is great for art supplies. I have been impressed with them.
What's been your favorite item?
Faux flowers are amazing,l make door wreaths in all 4 seasons ,the cost is amazing.
Bravo on this review! 😊 Every crafting channel I watch seems to have reviewed them, but not with the same transparency or details about the company or it's ratings and history. Honestly, I almost skipped this one expecting more of the same. I have ordered from Temu and have no problem with either order or the quality of the products. You did a great job Noreen, thank you.
Thank you, Diane! I really appreciate that!
I ordered a few weeks ago. Just got a few things. I ordered Easter eggs to hang on my holiday tree and they were fine, smaller than I thought but ok. A couple were dented. I ordered carrots that looked like they were hung from a garland and they were not, I just used them around in decorations, and the funniest was a bag of carrots to hang from the tree and they came with nothing to hang them with and they were only about an inch or inch and a half long, lol. I laughed when I saw them, I just scattered them on my tiered tray. All in all not too bad.I think the whole order came to like $18.
@@marshahumbert9322 ❤🎉😮😅😅
I love Temu. Most everything I have purchased has been great. Occasionally, something isn’t. Returns have been super easy! I would encourage you to start a return process on the products in this haul that you weren’t thrilled with.
I love that “blades” for slicer are actually stored in the “ machine”. It’s often hard to keep up with them if stored separately
I thought that too!
I am definitely on the Temu bandwagon! I have been very pleased with them. I just received some items I wanted to return. I started the process and they granted the refund without needing to return the products. Love that part❤ I've ordered smart watches, earbuds, other electronics, clothes, shoes...I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials used.
Thanks for sharing!!
If you scroll down on most items there will be a fair amount of description.
I love the fact that it's free shipping & I love the craft supplies. You really have to pay attention to descriptions & remember you get what you pay for. So far everything is made in China so that means I won't order makeup or anything that goes on my skin. I definitely hate all the text messages on deals, way way too many. Just be careful, stick to a limit & be firm
Turn the internet off on your phone!!! Why would you want non stop interruptions from any web site period going off & clogging up your phone especially when you are trying to make phone calls or sleeping at night???
I've order things from clothing, kitchen items, makeup and more. I've been pleasantly surprised at all the items. One item I ordered was incomplete and it got an immediate in store refund to use on my next order. Another order was for a handheld mixer, it was very small and the cord was only 2 feet long, plus it was loud and seemed quite flimsy so, I started a return on the website. They not only refunded my money on the card used to purchase but, also told me to keep the mixer and donate it if I chose to do so. Overall I've been impressed with quality, shipping and communications. I will continue to order. Just need to be checking against other online retailers for price comparison and quality. If you are a brand shopper this is not the store for you.

@@sherrysanders8045Chinese medication companies were caught by our government using wallboard as filler in the formation of tablets. That said, I wouldn't apply anything to my skin from China. They love our money but hate our country.
My order has not arrived!
When I was Trying to return an item that was about $14 they told me to keep the item and they refunded me the money with a credit. My friend had this happen as well for a dress she purchased. I agree with you about the promotions etc. It can be quite addictive 😊
I am enjoying Temu and bought most of my Christmas gifts through the site. I also bought a lot of resin molds and they are same as from Amazon.
My one con is that I don’t know the metric system as I should. I need to hunt for measurements I understand. On the other hand, I am, at 70 years old, learning the metric system.
I have to Google conversions all of the time. LOL I'm with you!
I just wish the USA made these decorations instead of China. A lot of it is very cute.
Are the pillow covers standard to pillow sizes?
@dorcasyoung1775 ME TOO!!!!
@deniset8380 No. 18x18 decorative pillows.
All of those pillow covers are adorable! I've ordered from Temu twice, my bags were white with orange writing.
The pillow covers remain my favorite items!
I bought from them and l the stuff i bought was junk. I d never buy from them again was a waste of money..
@SSmith-um2re So sorry that was your experience. Thanks for the feedback.
I ordered a purse from temu and within a week the zipper broke I was being bombarded with emails and text messages email this email that buy this buy that I had to close my credit card so that I couldn't buy anything from them and they would leave me alone their stuff is all made in China and the reason they're selling it cheap is because they want to undercut anybody else out there and dominate American business I'm not going to help a Chinese company that way I will never buy from them again I'm too American to buy from them and help them destroy all other companies...👎
I have been happy with most everything I bought from Temu especially the paper crafting items. The clothing is a little hit or miss on the material, what I thought would be a nice work dress is now a nightgown with bonus pockets (because that's what it felt like). The shoes I bought had a horrible chemical smell, few days outside and they are fine. Some were nicely made and I wear them to work, others were immediately put into the scuff around the house box, they hold up well just not aesthetically pleasing.
Brick and mortar is in China. They now have all of your information👎👎👎
I’ve used Temu about a dozen times now, and LOVE it. I’m thrilled to see Amazon get some serious competition because it was monopolizing the world! Twice I received 3 of something when I only ordered one! I don’t order things that might break easily, so I’m not at all concerned about returns. I bought T-shirts and they were good quality but ran about a size larger. They didn’t shrink when I washed them, so I restitched the seams to make them smaller. Yes, the pillow covers are simply amazing! Think what an 18” zipper would cost to make your own. I bought a ton of fairy furniture for the grandkids, and they will not break, very durable. I know these prices won’t last so I’m doing my Christmas shopping early. The only down side for me so far has been the number of text ads - several per day. I’m glad I never gave Temu my email account. Oh, I bought 3 kinds of artificial plants and they had ZERO odor. I guess I was lucky. So far, I’m really happy with Temu. I live in NM and everything is shipped to me from Los Angeles.
The one thing I do is check the information before I put the item in the cart. I do wish the fabric squares were an exact 10-inch square. The fabrics were just that 1/8th of an inch short of what I needed. I have no problems with anything that I had bought so far. I am going to keep getting items that I need and that I can afford as being on a pension I do not have money for bigger-priced items. Thank you for sharing your experiences with TEMU
I have been buying from Temu for several months now. So far, it has been worthwhile and I have had nothing to complain about. The only trial and error I've had are clothing items not being true to size. Most tops, I have had to purchase 1 or 2 sizes larger. But I don't mind. I'd much rather find some attractive knit tops to wear with my jeans for $9 to $11 than to purchase T-shirts for $15-$20 that shrink in the first wash. I have been buying art supplies, very attractive and comfortable pj's, kitchen items that have been very low priced and handy, and dog clothes,. Anything I have purchased that was breakable were sent boxed (Glass votive candle holders and acrylic picture display holders) and I have had nothing broken. I'd have to say at least an 8.5 out of 10.
That's great feedback! Thank you! I've not had good luck with the clothes - but I only tried twice. Thanks, Carla!
I have ordered once from TEMU. I ordered Flat Top Straw Hats for Women, four retractable measuring tapes, two mesh hanging bags, and a pair of "flower girl" white gloves. The order came in an orange plastic bag like the one Norrine showed in the video. I was skeptical how four hats could fit in the bag, and I found them rolled tightly together in the package. I left them laying out on the couch for a few weeks to get the crimps and crinkles out and they were fine for the purpose. I picked these for my grandchildren to decorate for an event- they had an inner tie to make the circumference adjustable, so they were great for that. The measuring tapes are also fine- my grands are hard on my tape measures, but at 68 cents each, these are ok. The mesh hanging bags are on the small side, but they should be ok. Our only real issue was with the white gloves, which had a big bow and little flowers on them. These were hot-glued on with two strips of glue on each and the bows fell off the gloves within minutes. It was not worth returning them- the gloves were ok once I peeled away the hot glue from them.
All in all, it was just ok. Temu is based in Boston, but its parent company's principal office is in Ireland. Yet it is clear that the company's products are nearly all Chinese. I made this order knowing this, but I probably won't order again from them. I am in a season of life where I need to bring less into my home and get rid of more. If I can find an item suitable for my purpose that is Made in USA, I will generally choose that. I often consider buying an item only to realize that I really don't NEED it, even if it is cute or a good price.
I appreciate your willingness to give an honest appraisal of TEMU in lieu of a sponsorship by them. The lower cost of the items may be helpful to people living on a small budget, but everybody needs to remember "Buyer Beware."
I've gotten many orders from Teemu. My overall experience is good. I mostly get craft items, but have received things from all categories. I don't buy into the discounts if you buy more. My expectations for the quality are low when I pay so little. I have been happily that most items exceed. I have learned to scroll through the pictures until I see measurements. There are 2 specific things out if dozens that were disappointing because of size. But I rarely pay over 2$ for anything. I do get confused with all the offers and constantly get texts which at this point I either ignore or open to see if I might want something. Quality has seemed pretty good and shipment time is great. Overall, I like them. I will often see same item further down the scrolling at different prices, it's usually more but I'll change and get the cheaper one. . I loved your review. Thank you, I have been wondering if this is too good to be true, at this point it is good.
Yes. I love the craft items. I never go over 3 dollars for any items. My nieces love scrapbooking with me. So I need plenty of supplies. Never disappointed about any products.
I also have a couple of small disappointments…which Temu immediately took care of. And I also have bought from a huge variety of categories and a lot of stuff. I love Temu. Instead of looking thru Amazon first, I look in Temu.
Hi Norrine!! I also tried Temu, and I found out that they do have measurements, not necessarily in the description, but if you scroll through the other views (like you would to look at a color etc) you will see one page that shows the size measurements. Keep a metric to inches cheat sheet, ruler, etc near by. I order $50.00 or more each month. Enjoy watching you!!
I've learned to really investigate each page before I add to cart - AND, I only shop from my computer... so I can really see it all. So glad you are enjoying it still!
I have ordered many timeS from TEMU. I have been very happy with everything I have ordered. I love free shipping.....this saves a lot. The prices are almost always cheaper than I can find anywhere. I am a big fan and will continue ordering.
Thanks for the feedback!
Buying shoe & clothes is hard to do online. If we all keep buying these things online all the store we use to walk into will be gone. Support your malls, & mom & pop shops.
Stop buying from other online source. I understand something’s but when possible don’t buy online. My opinion
Great point - I love picking things up and taking them home too.
I like being able to examine & try on things that I buy but as a Sr citizen on a fixed income that is NOT near enough to live on without a struggle and doing without groceries let alone any sort of shopping for a new blouse or craft supplies which I and most older folks enjoy and what fun is life without a fun & simple hobby making gifts for my loved ones? And I can't afford to buy the things I want at Wal mart or Amazon so I'm thankful for temu. Great review!
Temu actually stole my business from Wish.😂 One,thing, I love in particular Is there stainless steel jewelry and craft supplies and their shipping is so reasonable.❤
I wouldn't buy jewelry b/c of who knows what kind of metal you getting. They don't always define it.
I was wondering if this was just Wish rebranded because I haven't seen any Wish ads for quite a while.
I would not buy the stainless steel jewelry there different grades of stainless steel and some of it is just toxic
The settings fall out in a week
Temu is much better than Wish IMO
I love Temu. My friends and I have ordered everything from school supplies and kitchen utensils, to clothing and we have been thrilled with all our purchases ! The bad thing about it-- we have gotten addicted! 😂. Love Temu !!!!
I have been ordering from TEMU for a long while. Everything is great 👍🏻. The clothing and shoes are great and very well made. The fabric is amazing. I’ve seriously got an addiction!!!!
My only issue is that the items are not labeled in English so sometimes I forget what it is. I like your idea of writing it down. I’ve actually bought some really nice things. I love them.
My daughters told me to stop but I can’t seem to stop. 😂 I’m thoroughly satisfied.
Some people get bent out of shape because they are in China. I say that if the US can’t give me affordable prices, I’ll go elsewhere. I’m on a fixed income and can finally afford to get something new. And their jewelry is super cute!
Conclusion: I LOVE THEM 😍
I've had bad luck with clothing, but love most everything else. Thanks for checking in with me!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer , I bet I’ve ordered 35-40 tops. They are all beautiful. Great fabric, well made and wash like a dream. I get so many compliments. Keep trying!
Maybe I'll try it again!!!! Thanks for the info.
FYI, the death card in a tarot deck, is actually a very good card. It doesn’t mean you are going to die. It means there’s changes happening. 16:41
Oh that is good!!!! I've had a rough year, and am very open to some good changes! Thanks, Amy!!!!
Don't want anything satanic things in my house. Tarot cards are satanic,as is China. They don't believe in GOD so they are anti GOD. IF YOU GETCAUGHT WITH A BIBLE YOU COULD GO TO PRISON, OR A WORK FARM.
It also means you are delving into a practice God hates and condemns.
@@dianneking3842 that is one opinion.
@@AmyJLee No. it is what God says. Turning to these people is not something God approved. In fact, all through the Bible, he condemns them. But each of us have free will to do what we wish to do. But as the Bible says,”You cannot eat at the table of God and of demons”. It’s either one or the other.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12
10 There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering,[a] anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer 11 or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, 12 for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you.”
I’ve been ordering from them for about 6 months. You can always find a size description- sometimes it’s in the written description, or in the pictures or even in the reviews!
I haven’t had any problem with returns/refunds. A couple of times I’ve had to send the item back, but they provide the label. The other times they’ve said to donate the item, which I do. I have ordered craft supplies, clothes, jewelry, kitchen items, storage containers and have been satisfied with everything.
I really like Temu. 😊 I have made orders from 2-4 times each month over the last 4 months. I've been satisfied with 95% of the ordered items. I requested to return a garment, but they gave me a refund and said to do what I wanted with the garment. One diffinitely needs to read the description info carefully. I bought a large quantity of clothes pins and found out that they were about an inch long upon receipt.
I have been happy with gemstone jewelry that I have ordered. And with loose gemstones to make (DIY) more jewelry items. I replenished my sewing supplies. On each items description page, down below reviews, that says "more info on this item" is more info, fabric that cloth is made of and pics.
I enjoyed your candid review.
Doesn't it strike you as odd that they sell us stuff at ridiculously low prices and then, if we say we're not satisfied, they say "oh just keep it, or give it away, we don't mind!" Don't you think something about this doesn't add up?
@@Felice_Enellen this company has been in business for less than a year. I think at this point they’re still trying to build up their customer base. Some of the higher priced items that I wasn’t satisfied with, I did have to return, but they provided a shipping label. Very similar to Amazon.
@@arlenekrause7115 Yeah, that's sort of my point. This is unsustainable. Clearly at some point, when they've collected a bunch of happy customers, they're gonna have to turn off the free "everything is awesome!" tap or they'll go out of business. I worry about customers who assume they'll keep being treated this way.
Are you familiar with how a con man works? The word "con" is short for "confidence", because building confidence is what makes it work. The con man starts by building up the mark's confidence in him and his schemes. Initially the mark is encouraged to test the scheme with a small amount of money, which they are greatly rewarded by. Now confident that the scheme works, they put up a lot more money, only to have it disappear into thin air.
That's an oversimplification, but the basic pattern applies to all of these big overseas stores that show up every year or two and have amazing deals where they practically give stuff away. It's mostly cheap junk anyway, probably stuff that wasn't selling well, but we humans react very strongly on an unconscious level to "free stuff".
Don't be taken in. Buy from them if you feel informed and sure you can accept less than what you wanted, but be aware of what fate you're tempting.
@@Felice_EnellenRelax, its not like its a huge investment anyway. You are being WAY TOO SUS 😂
I am a paper crafter who buys from many different American craft stores. That does not mean that everything is MADE in the USA, but I know that it is designed in the USA. One thing that I have noticed when shopping online is that many of the stamps and dies sold by foreign companies are pirated from American companies. No wonder they can charge so much less. They are not spending the time or money to come up with the designs.
Sadly, that is true!!! It's hard to navigate making it affordable for everyone, but still rewarding the artists and their hard work. Thanks for the kind and respectful comment. I appreciate it!
I shop in Primark when I’m in London. I noticed a lot of people buying one of everything in their handbag line, and realized they will take the bags apart and use them as a pattern template.
What you call pillows, we in 🇬🇧 call cushions/cushion covers. The longer things that you sleep on, we call pillows/ pillow cases! 😊
Huh! I love learning things like that! Thank you
Temu’s earlier hard-sell ads and ‘gamifying’ of the discounts really worries me. It’s like they are using techniques that can addict people to games and apps! So, I think I will stand clear of Temu. Thank you for reposting your experiences, though! Very interesting!
You can't open an email from them without a bunch of these things opening up. I just totally ignore them, but I never thought about the addictive quality. I'm just so skeptical about anything any more, and I do find that Temu is guilty of false advertising based on items not being made of the materials they are described as. That said, I bought a few items after carefully reading reviews and looking at photos and size of things (so much is much smaller than expected) that I thought would be okay, and so far so good. But there were so many items I could have bought but didn't because they were clearly not of the materials stated or reviews indicated that they were poor quality.
People need to learn control and self-discipline.
@thecatatemyhomework Yeah, well, after watching people during Covid I don't have much hope of that! 😲🤣
Good for you. GOD bless you
@@CountryLady1752 you should check everything! Even if they have US warehouses, the items are still made in China. The percentage of testing on imported items is incredibly low… I would not use any body care items from China. The best and highly tested items come out of the EU… their FDA-type standards are much higher than the US!
My step-daughter is all hyped up about Temu. I can't get behind it, (and I don't shop Amazon, either), because one of my main, most important criteria is a "MADE IN USA" label.
With Tarot cards, "death" is not to be taken literally. It generally indicates an end of something--but not necessarily actual death. End of a relationship; end of a job; etc.
That’s good to know!!!! My daughter actually loved the tarot card art and kept it 😉
Yes, I wanted to mention too that the DEATH card means CHANGE!
I agree, I don't support Amazon either if I can possibly get what i am looking for anywhere else! And basically Temu is like a dollar store right now that encourages you to buy a whole lot of crap. But you better believe those dollars add up. The quality of most things is pretty sketchy. You don't really see anything on Temu that is a brand name - mostly knockoffs or cheap imitations.
@@janinafisher101 I do my best to shop local too. I did one order with Temu. it was ok but once I researched I made a decision to never again. Yes everything made in China, ordering directly from China and due to direct ship no import fees are paid. So basically all my money goes directly to China's economy ( except local taxes) Ill buy my China made products lol from my local stores
@Cindy Hancock Well done!👏 Thank you for sharing this and giving me hope! If we don't support our local economy in some way, soon China will own the world. Right now they are buying up huge swaths of Africa and Brazil. I grew up in China and they own one major roadway that they built totally with Chinese workers they brought over. They wanted to buy a Jamaican port that would put them very close to the US. The Jamaican people finally said "Hell, no!" We have to be very savvyband look at the long-term consequences of our actions - especially buying a bunch of cheap stuff to satisfy our frivolous "wants." I'm sure Temu sells very little that we "need." And all those "just a dollar, or 1.98" adds up to billions in the hands of an economy whose government's aim is to rule the world. At the same time, I do hope this competition will bring down some of the ridiculously high prices on things!!!
I’m a Temu junkie. Anything I order I compare prices with Walmart or Amazon. And I always look at the description and size. They do always put the size of the item on the picture if you scroll. I love the fact that they have price adjustment on your orders. If the prices change (which they always are) you can hit that “price adjustment “ button and they will refund you the difference and apply it to your next order. I always check for this after I order something. It can be a hit or miss but usually it’s a hit. If I don’t like items they will refund my money and I don’t have to ship back if the price is under a certain amount. If I do, it’s free shipping back to them if you request the refund all at one time. The highest I’ve requested a refund on was about $13 and was able to keep the items and get my money back or get credit right away. So when it comes to my money I don’t care about other peoples opinions or comments. I go from my experience and what I enjoy. Buying from “China” or other countries is an un avoidable thing. Here we are just cutting out the middle man 😊 and I’ve ordered those eucalyptus stems 2x’s. The smell isn’t that bad lol
I did a large amount of Christmas shopping through Temu, and had nothing but great results
I am a master picture framer. I had a retail store for years and I used to use those miter sheers to cut my fillets. The fillet is a small decorative frame that sits INSIDE the mat framing the picture.
That’s amazing!!! I have such an appreciation for craftsmanship like that.
And it’s pronounced fil-it for this use. Not fil-ay.
You did a terrific job unboxing and explaining your experience. Although I do shop at Dollar Tree & Amazon I cannot justify signing up with a company in China. I have avoided TicTok because I don't want to give them all my info, same with Temu. Maybe in the future I may feel different but for now I'm uncomfortable dealing directly with China. Thanks for the review!
I have placed several orders with Temu and have not had a problem with any of it! I’m excited for pillow covers
I was looking forward her letting us know how well they washed at the end, but I think she forgot.
She said she plans to swap covers on one pillow. It's not a pillow case you sleep on. It's decorative, for throw pillows that sit on your sofa.
I've placed 4 orders so far and have loved it all. I recently ordered a swimsuit and beach towel ; the towel is gorgeous and the swimsuit fit perfectly.
@ inclement: FYI- You have the same name of a famous prophet of God who was very accurate
Yes no problems with contacting TEMU.
I made my first purchase back in April. Was pretty happy with everything. Strangely some things were doubles. I wanted to return some things and was told that I didn't have to return the items but would get a refund. Similar things have happened on Amazon. I donated the things I didn't want. My favorite things were the paper flowers. I got them in white pink and blue. Just needed some fluffing. It's quite addicting. And how noble of you to do an unsolicited review. Thank you.
Noreen really should have done a return to see how easy or difficult it would have been and then I think the review would be complete. I don't mind if it's sponsored or not. But, imho, if you claim to do a review, why not cover all aspects of the process? That's my only critique -and not answering the phone when Temu called.
I’ve gotten 2 shipments from Temu- so far, so good. I did see one TH-camr open a Temu BOX. I wish you had answered the phone. I’d be curious about the understandability of their customer service. I don’t care what country you’re from, if you’re going to talk on the phone for your job, people need to be able to understand you. Thanks for sharing! 😊❤️
OMG! Now I wish I had spoken to them too!!!!! I'll have to call again for a follow-up. ;)
I have bought quite a bit from Temu. I ordered a lot of rings...the majority are very nice and I get compliments every time I wear them...I ordered some kitchen items that are metal that were kind of rough looking but they do work. I have gotten some items that I did not recognize...I actually had to put the article number in on the website to find out what it was! I ordered a lot of stamps and dies to make greeting cards and I was especially pleased with those...the thing I was most disappointed with that anything in a box came damaged (the box)...it wouldn't be something you would want to wrap and give as a gift. The thing about Temu that worries me is that it is being talked about somewhat like Tik Tok...it is a China company and I have given the company information about myself Olinda order to order and credit card info/PayPal in order to pay for my items...I'm concerned that my information might be used in some way that I might not approve of...does this concern anyone else?
I agree with you about the descriptions being very vague but or lacking. The one good thing that I love is that if you don't like anything that you order, there's no issues for your money to be returned or credited. Plus, a lot of the time they don't require the return of the product, but you still get your money back. Plus, you can continually receive price adjustments from your orders credited to your account.
The price point is fantastic. I'm really hooked.
I have been & continue to be a HUGE Temu client. Everything I've order has exceeded or met my expectations. I've only had two issues, each were handled with fantastic customer service. I'm a fan. I will continue to be a fan. Oh to address breakables, they are wrapped so well, nothing has broken.
Thank you for the input
I've had bags each time, and nothing has been broken from shipping. (I have had a few lower quality things though, that had issues)
I just ordered from them last night. I was a little scared to give them a try for the same reasons as you were stating. I have been worried if I was going to hate it, and the quality would not be there. I am glad you did the review, put my mind to rest a bit. They do really bom bard you with texts, not so happy about that. Thanks for the review. You did a great job.
I got caught up in all the hype, too. There were some good craft items, but I also received some cheaply made items. As the old saying goes, you pay for what you get.
I made the mistake of downloading the app. I got bombarded with spam text messages and the ones that say something went wrong with your order or your bank card was jeopardized. I deleted the app and opted out of getting further notifications. Since then, the messages went away.
You quoted it backwards. The saying is ""you get what you pay for". It translates if you pay little you get low quality or expect low quality.
@Sally Mander I have been getting the spam messages about my bank account (with a bank I don’t even have an account with) had been frozen because of blah blah reason. Please call bank I don’t use to fix this issue at 1-8xx. I have been getting these for probably close to 2 months. I had not placed an order with Temu or downloaded their app at that point. I have now placed an order over the weekend. Now to see what I get. I spent $20. If good I may order again. If not I’m not out much and I saw for myself. 🤷🏻♀️😂
@@lauraoneal5146 yes, so have I. I’ve never ordered from them. Accidentally downloaded the app. Now I have a mess of junk texts coming into my phone and e-mail
I like Temu. I craft and very happy. Yes it is very easy to spend a lot of money!!! Thank you!!
I have ordered much $$$$....NEVER A SINGLE PROBLEM WITH ANY ORDER. LOVE IT AND WILL CONTINUE TO ORDER!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback.
thank you for this review, so far I have not ordered from Temu, but mostly because super low prices would merely cause me to buy everything in sight. I also felt quite overwhelmed by the plethora of items to buy. I spent over 2 hours shopping and loading my cart, only too realize the "what to actually buy" task was too daunting and I really didn't need any of it.
I have ordered from Temu about 6 times and love most of the things. Some are a little junky - you have to watch the dimensions of things as I found out. It's like when ebay first started - very addictive!! I have bought journaling/craft items, t-shirts (pretty good quality), tools, hats and some other non descript items :)
Great video! I've ordered from Temu several times. Everything you said is spot on. My only HUGE issue is when ordering plus size clothing, buyer beware! Order at least 2 sizes larger than your normal size. Even then, they may be too small. I also noticed Walmart has some of their same clothing items for about 3-4 times the cost. However, Walmart has the sizes pretty close to actual size. Again...buyer beware! ML and happy crafting! 🎉💜
I have placed numerous orders from Temu and haven’t had any issues. I even had to return a whole order for refund and no issues. I think it is like any other place some people have trouble others don’t.
I agree. I've had no issues so far. Thanks for the feedback!
I’ve ordered quite a few items from Temu. It’s pretty much the same as Amazon. I do agree the florals are not quite there, but other items are spot on. I’ve bought clothing which was very accurate and good quality. They’ve held up with no issues. The household items have been decent. I haven’t had to return anything, but I haven’t needed to at this point. I think I’ll still be selective, but I do like the text alerts when I have orders out, but the flip side is they text you all day with offers. I need to see if they have a setting on that aspect. Over all I’m a happy customer.
Always try to find the measurements on items. If you flip through the photos there s/b at least one with the measurements on it. Believe me I've received a few items that were much smaller than expected. I also look at customer reviews to see if anyone's been disappointed with the size of an item. I've gone down the Temu rabbit hole on a few occasions 😂!
i've been overwhelmingly happy with everything i've ordered from Temu. the prices are absurdly low, and every time, my items were delivered sooner than i expected. i agree that the descriptions could be more detailed and complete. my favorite thing so far was the "music hat", a knit cap with bluetooth headphones built in; now that the weather is warmer, i've gotten other bluetooth headphones that are also excellent.
Started buying in 2022 , then saw they ponied up >$1M for a Super Bowl ad. Fast free shipping. TOTALLY ADDICTIVE site! Ridiculous prices. Don’t buy complex electronics, these are knockoffs, but sometimes it won’t matter. Love this site!
I LOVE Temu. Since I discovered them a couple of months ago I've been placing multiple orders, on average every other week. I would say the majority of the things I'm happy with. And what I'm not happy with doesn't really matter because they're inexpensive items. I'll never go to the trouble of sending anything back. It's not worth it to me. I love the endless scrolling, which relaxes me, and I always find something to order. Amazon is my favorite online store and I order multiple times a week from them. I have to say, though, a lot of the items that Amazon has, such as kitchen gadgets, sell at Timo for a much lower price. I also buy cat supplies, mostly toys. Toys that I have spent $7 for cost a dollar and change at Temu. And if one of my cats breaks it into days, I dont care. Also, there were four separate orders that were late and I got a $20 credit, $5 for each. Then I received a $27 credit. I'm not exactly sure why but it had something to do with the late delivery. And to my surprise, not only did I get the credit but they said they're sending me my items. BTW, I've never had a problem getting a customer service person at Amazon. And they've always resolved whatever my problem was and are very pleasant and efficient.
I’ve gotten several orders from them and have generally been very pleased with the items. One thing I got was an organizer box that was just what I needed, but one side had a broken clasp. I haven’t had time to make a return yet so I’ll have to see how that goes. I’ve mostly ordered solar lighting for my yard with one thing being a problem. My only real concern with this company is how I end up ordering much more than normal, because they keep offering great incentives. I just have to not read everything they send!
Bwahahaha!!! Me too!!! My 1st order was well over $100 when it started with a flashlight advertised for .99.... but I got a whole summer wardrobe and my son got a crap-ton of dragons, so not unhappy
The return process is take a photo and get a credit the first few times but since this was a few weeks ago you may no longer be in that widow.
I ordered some kitchen items, cleaning supplies, etc. , a few months ago.... a lot of items for under $20. Very pleased, no complaints. --- And THANK YOU for the code. I'll probably order again soon.
The pillow covers would make inexpensive wall hangings also!
Yes, you are right! What a cute idea!
I have to say, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with everything I’ve bought from Temu. The quality of the clothing is so impressive - high quality and they wash and dry beautifully! I’ve bought some plant items as well, and they’re also really nice material and look great. That being said, I always read through the descriptions really well and look for sizes and measurements. When there are multiple items, like the stickers you bought, I enlarge the screen to see what it is. I think you should have been able to do this and then would have been able to make a better choice for yourself, but it’s a learning curve that I’m passing along to you, if you choose to order from them again.
You have to really check the sizes of things, especially the kitchen items. I almost ordered a few things but when I saw the size, I knew it would be dinky, and even though the price was great, you’d hardly be able to fit your produce in it! But again, that’s a learning curve that I learned to do from other companies.
I definitely will keep ordering from them and I enjoy watching unboxing videos because I found things that are new to me and I wouldn’t have thought to look for them - like your miter scissors! Those are so cool and something I wouldn’t have known existed until I saw them!
I think you could do the sponsorships and still give an honest opinion on the different items. Why shouldn’t you get free items? I say go for it!
Thank you for sharing! 💜
That's exactly right about the size of stuff,The pictures are staged to make them look bigger but over all I'm on my 4th over $50 order coming in a few days and I'll order more after that definately.
I was excited about the mitre scissors too! 😆
This is my first time seeing you! I am so glad you did this review. I kept being tempted by Temu’s low prices but, I’ve gotten burnt more than once and didn’t want to try it. I appreciate your honest opinions and, will, definitely, give it a try.
Call Chiropractic to tell you but when you agree to buy from them you're also agree that they take all your information off the device you're using...don't do it
Don’t buy! Buy American!
First time subscriber!! Love your channel! So innovative!! This was a fun haul, and you chose some very fun, happy items!! I have ordered once from TEMU; ephemera, paper, etc. Love it all!! I adore all the sweet packaging!!
I have ordered quite a few items from Temu and and VERY happy with my purchases. I have gotten many cleaning supplies (sponges, scrubbers, etc); craft supplies (mainly beads); some kitchen gadgets; and yes, I too have tried the double sided "alien" style tape. I started out buying the cute back of the chair covers with Santa on them for the Christmas season and a few cute ornaments and signs for the holiday and I was hooked! I have received a $5.00 refund for an order that was not delivered on time. I check all of the items I buy for other places on-line including Amazon, but not only Amazon, and have saved quite a bit on the items I have gotten. My biggest complaint with Temu is that their descriptions are not the best. It is often difficult to find the exact dimensions of some items. I think people need to realize that most stores in our country and also etsy and ebay sellers also sell these foreign items. You would have to stop buying totally to only buy American. I would love it if we could, but you also have to realize that many of the foreign products are produced overseas for American companies. It is hard to escape the fact that we are all buying foreign goods, hard not to . . . check your clothing labels and you'll be surprised. I will buy where I can get the best price and/or delivery. Service is important also. Ignore the gimmicks and all the extra text messages etc. and just buy what you were actually looking to buy and you will be fine. Don't fall prey to the "checkout" goodies -- it is the same principle as the candy, gum and magazines at the grocery checkout. Keep your eyes straight ahead and buy only what you actually went shopping for and you will do well!
I've had good luck with Temu so far! I've bought everything from craft supplies, Stamping blocks and clear stamps, inks, travel perfume bottles, sunglasses, to earrings(I love❤ their earrings). I have 2 orders on the way! Things to be aware of with the sales and incentives is that the amounts for $ or percents off go down as you keep ordering. So they're not as good as the beginning order. Still pretty good deals on most everything. Happy shopping!❤🎉
I watched your TH-cam channel on Temu. They are wonderful with returns. A lot of times, they let you keep the item and give you a refund or a store credit. Some items are cheaply made, but for the most part, I am happy with them. I also order a lot of crafts items. If you scroll, you'll usually find the size, plus you can click on the pic and enlarge to see what you are buying. Thanks for your information!
I agree - I've been happy with most things. Thanks for watching!
I have been ordering from Temu almost since they started up. And I absolutely love them. I figured out very quickly to read the specs and descriptions on everything you purchased, and you will not be dissatisfied. I have had absolutely NO problems with the company or the items (which have been a lot) that I have purchased. I do have to say that I am mostly impressed with the fact that you do receive a refund on items that have been reduced after you receive them. So, FYI to everyone...if you go back into you order history and look over all your purchases, there is a place to click that they refer to as a "price adjustment refund" and they will credit you the difference and it can go towards your next purchase or a refund on your card. Right now, I have 8.09 credited back to me that I will use on my next purchase. Thank you for the amazing review!
Just so you know, eucalyptus leaves are SUPPOSEd to smell strong! LOL I worked in Michael's years and years ago, and you could DEFINITELY smell them from far away. That and those scented pine cones that would come in around the holidays. The whole store would smell like them! LOL
Yes, except these did not smell like eucalyptus they were chemical smells 🥺
I'm not surprised! China does not care what chemicals they send to us, have some more LEAD.
That Smell you worked with goes into your lungs. It is Formaldehyde and causes Cancer. All Artificial Scents are dangerous chemicals.
Lol she said they weren't real. I said that too but then she mentioned that thwy weren't real
I don't think they're supposed to smell like burning wires though.
I've ordered from them 2x and had no issues with either order. Both were very good quality. One order was 3 shirts and socks - sizing was spot on in the description and the quality was good. I also order a bunch of building block kits (Lego-type kits) (5) and they were all great! The instructions were very easy to follow and the kits' descriptions were also correct. You definitely need to read everything and look at pictures. Sizing for the kits was in the pictures.
Love your video, it moves along . So many spend ten minutes telling you what they are going to do. You get right to it! Glad you are addressing the smell which sometimes doesn’t go away ever!
I shop with temu regularly. Always needing to decorate something. I have completely redecorated my front porch with sunflowers. I purchase clothing shoes art supplies kitchen appliances etcetera everything has been great quality no fading , true colors as descriptions and sizes
I am such a pushover for anything with Sunflowers!!!!! Oh, and Bees! LOL
🌻🐝
I think I have placed 3 orders with them. I do a lot of woodworking and I agree their descriptions leave a lot to be desired. A few things I ordered were much smaller than I anticipated. Overall however, I have ordered everything from $1 necklaces up to a $50 metal detector, and I have been pleasantly surprised. The lounge dress that I got my daughter was soft and very nice, the necklaces were not high quality in detail but they had a good weight to them. I don't know any little kid who wouldn't have loved them. I ordered some hold down clamps that were way smaller than I anticipated. I'm sure I can find a use for them somewhere.
Overall very satisfied
The only item I've ordered from Temu was a very attractive brown shoulder purse. I love it, and the price was really good. I plan to order more things from them when I need something or run out of something. I was very pleased with the order, the quality and the speedy delivery.
I just found your channel. I love the review on Temu because I have refused to order from them.
Now I have a better understanding of the company.
I love my Amazon
I am 78 years old and I dearly love crocs...
Thanks for the review.
Glad I could help!

Try putting the handle of the veggie holder into the handle of the slicer. Flip it around the from the way you were doing it; you may have already tried that, but just a thought.
Just wanted to let you know I ordered from Temu after I saw this video two weeks ago! I should be receiving the order today! I have already placed my second order! And I’ve already started putting things in my shopping cart for my third order!
I am addicted! Not just for craft supplies, but I got stuff for the kitchen and the household!
I used your link, so hopefully that will help you a little tiny bit and hopefully others did too!
Thank you!
Let me know if your order comes in at the expected time and what your opinion of the items are! I love this kind of feedback. :)
Thank you so much for your honest review. I'm still not sure if I want to try this company yet. I don't like the idea that there is no instructions of any kind. And since it's really owned by a Chinese company and it seems like America doesn't get any money for anything it does concern me. Yes, I know tons of things are from China but this company just worries me in the back of my head. I truly did love your review. Most honest one out there.
I havent ordered from temu yet but I feel like you. Iam not ready to try it either.
I agree. They are cutting out the middle man (dollar tree, Amazon, etc) which means American jobs. Not to mention working conditions for the workers making the stuff. I don't want to undermine our economy for some cheap kitchen items and craft cracks. At least dollar tree and Amazon have American workers.
Wow! Thank you so much! I am happy to tell the good and the bad!
Would be interesting to see what those pillow covers if they hold up in the washings and I would also be interested in seeing that that alien tape side-by-side as well
So far… they’ve been great!
I loved that you gave a completely honestly review!! I have ordered several items from temu and I have not been disappointed!! I ordered several of their blankets for my GrandBabies and a couple more for myself for Christmas. They were perfect and of great quality, delivered to my doorstep, on time, and exactly as described!! One thing is for certain, ... if you want to be a Satisfied Customer, you MUST READ Through the Descriptions before you buy!! (& Read it ALL the way to the bottom because many times there's still ongoing tidbits of info all the way down!!) Like the blankets: they advertised the lowest price to hook you, but if you didn't read it and just added it to your cart, you would've been disappointed because you'd have received the tiny blanket instead of the larger one shown in the pictures. If you go back and look, you'll find that it comes in 4 different sizes. I suspect that is what happened with the black & white canvas "posters" that you ordered for your daughter. Kudos to you! My first time here, I like what I see, so I've subscribed!! Stay Awesome!! 😊 Shawnee T.
So true! I only shop from my computer - so that I can easily see and search for information and look closely at pictures. Thanks for checking in with me.
I have not tried them and most likely won't. I don't like the social media aspect of asking for emails (I understand it, I just don't like it) and I haven't had the best of luck with my past orders from companies that are shipping direct from overseas.
Make up a fake email address. Just confirm if you need to then delete occasionly. Easy peasy.
I have placed several orders from Temu and am really pleased with most items. I have ordered a number of clear stamps for card making, small storage bags that fit on the rings of regular binders, a set of 72 watercolor pencils, and a set of 100+ colored pencils. All met if not passed my expectations. The other thing I like is that it is very easy to put things that you see but can't buy at the time, on a list and when you are ready to buy you just click the box by the item and that become your purchase order.
People love to do reviews with pictures and videos on Temu which I find very helpful. Especially with clothing as many like to channel their inner super model/influencer and really give a fashion show. When I started buying Temu I always looked up the same products made from the same company on Amazon and found Temu was cheaper and for the most part 3xs less the cost. I no longer compare trusting Temu will always have the most competitive price. Always check measurements.
I totally agree! I’m going to try clothes soon ☺️
Really appreciated your info. Just found your website. Live in Canada and we now have Temo Canada. Just had my first order from Temo. Really pleased with my purchases, consistent updates on my order and on time delivery. Used a 30% off coupon.
I’ve ordered quite a few items from Temu and have to say, “It was fun going through the online catalog, but like you, I’m not exactly fond of their lack of information on each item”. We always wan to know materials used, laundering recommendations where applicable,and dimensions. My granddaughter collects minis and Temu seems to have a plethora of them. I’ll keep ordering until I feel it’s no longer worth my time or money. although, based on their prices, I believe the quality of items is slightly better than what you paid for it on most things
I have been ordering from Temu quite often and have been pleased with everything. Dog clothes are really great. I did have one that was to small they said they would send the smaller size, and I was told to donate the bigger one. I've also gotten baby clothes, great quality and prices from $3.00 - $5.00. As fast as they grow, you are not spending a fortune on something they may only wear for 1 or 2 times.
btw eucalyptus is deliberately purchased FOR its smell, its an aromatic tree that people grow for that purpose ... funny ... I have purchase SO many things from Temu that are wonderful ... I think 2 or 3 I did not like. None were misrepresented in any way. In shopping where it feels there is not enough info, read the reviews and look at the photos people send in reviews. It was very helpful to learn more about the products even just seeing it unboxed or on a desktop to see for size next to something. I purchased fountain pens, ink, tools, earring, yarn, double side tape, handbag, wallet, shoes, beads, staples, stationery. All were great and none were a ripoff.
I wish it smelled like eucalyptus! It was very chemical/plastic. I aired it out and it was great for my decor. I've been enjoying several other things since this review. Though, I've given up on the clothing. LOL Just not for me. Thanks so much for the comment and being here with me.
I ordered some socks and they are so tiny you would have to have stick legs to wear them but the inside was fuzzy and i love the material so didnt complain . I will find a craft to use them. Ive ordered a lot andhave no complaints
OH MY GOSH! I got socks as stocking stuffers for Christmas! They were so tiny!!! I was going to donate them, but my daughter grabbed them and put them on - they stretch like crazy!!!! I'm still pretty happy with most of their items, but now avoid clothing.
I've ordered a few times and have had some good products, some not so great. I recently read a column by Kim Komando about the Temu app. It appears to be a huge privacy risk. I don't use the app just the website. I'm feeling a bit like a few other posters and tend to be a bit on the fence. I realize much of what is available to purchase anywhere is not American made but still feel reluctant to fully support this company.
I think that is wise! They are just too new to really know.
If you read through the amount of ppl spending not huge amounts of $, but adding it up ~ Someone is profiting from the sales. I can’t help but wonder the work conditions from other countries, as well as the $ that’s going out of our country. The privacy risk issue concerns me, too…idk ~ I love a good deal but idk.
Ive placed several orders and have been extremely happy with everything but i do read measurements and what item is made of. Im extremely happy with a make up bag i purched for under 4$, its made of quality material with a nice zipper, it has a handle that carries as a bag but when opened the zipper is placed so when its unzipped it opens up completely so there is no digging around, everything is displayed within eye view, I LOVE IT!!
I really was happy to see you do a video on this company. I have placed orders and overall been very happy with 95% of the items I have received. I agree with you on the quality of the pillow covers and they have a very nice assortment. I also agree with you on the eucalyptus stems! I could not stay in the same room with them either because of the odor, but after I took them all out of the packaging and left them in the garage for a day or two, the odor went away. I have not noticed an odor with any of the other floral pieces and wanted to give a suggestion to your audience. When ordering the flowers, do a search for "vintage flowers" and you will be very happy with the results! I am a designer and have used the vintage flowers many times! Best wishes!
I LOVE TEMU!!! I have been buying from them since around Thanksgiving!!! I've gotten stuff for the kitchen, like this plastic tube that peels garlic to tennis shoes!! I tell everyone about them. Free delivery, that is my biggest like about TEMU!
That is awesome!
My main concern with both Temu and Alliexpress are that some items seem to be copies-stamps just like Tim Holtz, papers that match well known scrapbook kits- that kind of thing. They just come very close to copyright infringement (if not directly crossing the line.) Not trying to start anything here as there are lots of things in both apps that are unique or mimics of things not under copyright. I just wanted to point it out as I just try to avoid buying those items.
It’s a very valid point! It’s why I mentioned their parent company, as they had lawsuits for that very reason.
@@TheCraftyOrganizeryou should outwardly not endorse this company
I have had the same experience... Poor imitations are easy to spot, but I have wondered if there is any possibility artists have been paid for the work that appears identical to that of brand-name American stamp/die companies that can just be sold cheaper because they are unbranded/not paying a middleman? And are the products I buy from the American companies made in China as well? Wish I knew the answers!
