Temu: What you need to know about the hot shopping app

Billed as the TikTok of shopping, the Temu app provides an interactive and engaging experience designed to keep consumers coming back for more with almost too good to be true prices — but is it collecting user data without permission? NBC’s Vicky Nguyen reports for TODAY.

Buying cheap makeup sounds like a good way to get unknown chemicals into your body.

[jibsee]

the general motto i think everyone forgot about with temu, was “if it’s too good to be true, it most likely is”

If you are not paying for something that means you’re the product!

[Jeweled_Mycha]

I bought one mascara and my face is still healing. 😢

Why are we suspicious of temu because it’s cheap when companies like Amazon are giving us the same products but way more expensive and honestly many other companies sell our information as well, but because they are expensive we don’t suspect them cause they must have good quality products for the expensive price 😢😢😢

When something seems too good to be true, always question it.

How can they completely ignore the slavery accusations? The problem isn't privacy it's the confirmed exploitation of the workers and the alleged (as yet unconfirmed) use of forced labour camps.

I always get ads about this app, but it seems to sketchy. It's not well reknown, products seem too cheap, and I'm just not familiar their system. Personal info is always at risk, but the risk might be higher there.

HOW CAN I BLOCK TEMU?? STOP THEM, THEY DRIVE ME INSANE. 😢😢 STOP TEMU ADS!!

Who cares about them tracking your IP when you put in your address for shipping???

So is TEMU like WISH or replacing wish? To me it seems very similar. Anyone have any info on if it is similar or replacing WISH? I have purchased through wish and yes you get what you paid for but was never disappointed with it. My issue with TEMU is sizing in clothes. Since it is mostly from China we'll the Chinese for some reason size their clothes smaller then they are sized in the USA. An example a women's plus size 24 on wish would be their size 5XL. I am wondering if it is similar. I have found some really cute jumpers but do not want to get them and they not fit because I do not want to send them back. I just never messed with clothes on Wish. Thanks if anyone has any info on their clothes. I know they are not going to be top quality but for cost I'm ok with that.

Your IP is visible in every single website you browse. apps like google, fb and ig user your gps and track you, which is even worse, so I don't get this. You also have to give them your address in order to receive your items. What am I missing here?

[peacefuldaze]

I’ve gotten household cleaning tools, pet supplies, office stuff and kept almost everything. They’re not bad

[jennifertate]

I used this site and someone was getting in my account happened to me and my daughter won't order from this site ever again

[j.c.]

Lol. Privacy.
We don't have privacy for over an decade.

[G]

Whhaaaat they get your IP address so they can see where u are???!!! No way! It’s almost like you have to put your home address to reserve your items anyways 😂🤡

[Emly]

Well NO surprise there!! “ Temu didn’t respond “

[AnxiousDerek]

-tracks my IP address
-me an intellectual knowing where I’m already at

I saw a review on Temu from myself that I DID NOT WRITE, had my photo next to it saying I said it was true to size, .. I did buy the dress but it was way too small, I bought it because other reviews said true to size.. I guessed they didn’t expect me to look at the reviews since I had already bought the dress.. no one has a photo wearing the dress in the reviews. nor did it give me the option to.. I’m done with Temu.

I'm not sure if they mentioned it in the video because i could only stomach 1:21 of glazing, but it requires you to spend a set limit to access these so called "discounts or special offers".
