Is Temu legit?

Temu has taken over the internet — with its super low prices and free offers. But is it too good to be true? We talked to a Harvard Business School professor and two real customers to see what’s really behind the #Chinese e-commerce app.

Buy cheap products, get cheap products. I buy the knockoffs knowing they are knockoffs and am pleased with my knockoff purchases. The quality meets or exceeds my low expectations.

[RacerX]

AUSTRALIA is coming up with their own called EMU.

[justajumpingypsygirl]

I want to know how they cam afford to sell for those prices. I'm afraid for the workers.

[joeschmoe]

I’ve bought several things and know a lot of people who have bought from it. Some stuff is very high quality. Some not great but fits the price. I think it’s just cutting out the middle man that buys stuff for dirt cheap and marks it up

[JenniO]

Whatever you do do not order makeup or skin care. They don't have the same standards as American made companies do and you can injure yourself

[lnnn]

There is a catch to "free items" you have to spend a certain amount to get it.

[PaperGram]

I've bought headbands, gloves, earrings, a hoodie, hair ties. They all seem like good quality and will last as long as anything equivalent for 3x the cost. Everything has been well made. Just know what you're buying and don't expect too much and you will be surprised by how well made it is. Everything in our country is made in China anyways. Why not buy directly from the source and cut out the middle man costs. Even American car companies have tons of parts that are made in China. Made in America just means it's assembled here with foreign parts.

Umm, nah! Dealing directly with Mainland Chinese sellers is like playing Russian Roulette in the Wild, Wild West.

Wtf Temu is good I have had a problem with anything

[MrTom-klhy]

I use my tea-moo bargains to create Tick-talks condemning the damage of plastics to our environment.

[victoriaromero]

What i ordered was really cheap and smaller sizes...i gave it to the goodwill..

[exidice]

Can we also talk the company that owns it, it is under investigation by the government, and all the possible spy malware in it

[kaistockman]

I bought a sweater/jumper on there and it was great. Halloween themed but I bought another one and it was too big and returned it. I also just bought a tent but haven’t used it yet so don’t know how it is.

[JenniO]

The clothes are cute, cheap won't last long but cute. I've gotten diaper pail liners which are usually 29.99 for 11 bucks im sold

The electronics are just what you pay for. Some has been good and some have been questionable. I like the kitchenware it’s good for little knickknacks and patty wax and I wouldn’t give your dog a bone from Temu Lol.

[NoHandle]

My advice is to not be drawn in by their "free" or "lottery" giveaways.

They do not work, you will not get them. It's just a lie. Tho if you just buy the products you want, some, and only some, are pretty solid

[Mrsdstry]

They left my $60 package outside the apartment literally right on the street guess what it was gone in 15 mins 😅 good that I was able to get a refund

[neoinitiative]

Seriously NBC? This is what you're reporting on right now?!?!

[TeaBiscuits]

Bruh i have purchased so much from them.. you haters keep hating but TEMU HAS GOOD STUFF

[meziembamara]

🙄
Well, they are below level of *Avito*, but more like *Facebook Market*

[MaseoFernandezWilks]

I'm sorry I just don't trust it back in the day a company had poison blankets 😂 since day one I just had a bad feeling it don't mean nothing is wrong it's just me I'm not ordering nothing from there years from now y'all going to turn into a frog 🐸 😂😂😂😂
