My heartache with TEMU is the data collection. They are as invasive as any company can be. There is a good possibility they are a front for the CCP. Beware.

[SnowWolf]

Most of the issues I have had were individual sellers not protecting their fragile items. Temu will give up to 2 item refunds per order, so far with no physical returns needed. I am happy with my items for the most part.

[derekdresser]

I'd love to see first a follow up to see how long your gear lasted and second how long they keep their prices like this. I can see these slowly creeping up once the honeymoon is over.

Don't know if this applies to TEMU but, I've been buying clothing from Asian sites for many years and Asian letter sizes can be 1 to 2 sizes smaller, depending upon the design, to adjust to Asian builds. If it's unclear if the sizes are US, EU, Asian, etc., it's best to ask the seller first. Remember, they're selling internationally and the US is not the center of the universe.

[Richard-bybr]

You have to be carefull about trends. For example, if you buy 2 pairs of shoes it will adjust its asking price for your size upward the next time you return. If you pick shoes that run $30, then it will show you more expensive shoe options. So pick a few pairs that are extra cheap to add to your cart but don't buy them. If you watch green shoes to much, they will start costing more etc.

[rationalbushcraft]

My only issue is kind of political. I think they are walmarting online sales. In other words the Chinese government is helping them buy the market. They are selling under cost in order to kill off the competition. This is not a legitimate free market activity. Those prices will slowly creep up once they have a larger share of the market. They will frog boil us until they are the leader.

[misterdaycare]

I love Temu! While the shoes compare to Walmart in durability, the electronics far exceeded my expectations.

[maggieb]

I ordered a so-called leather ladies handbag. They took my money but never sent it out with the rest of the items that I ordered. I tried looking for the seller's details to ask where my bag was. Could not find any info on the seller. I had a hell of a time trying to get a refund back. So I was not impressed. Not sure whether I trust Temu any more.

[okkrom]

I loved seeing the sub count slowly ticking up.
Keep up the hard work.

[johncharleswizeass]

I have used Temu about 8 times for a variety of purchases. With one very low cost exception, all products were reasonable quality for the price, shoes were a good fit in most cases, electronics and torches were very good value. However, they are very likely hurting retail outlets in my country (New Zealand) with their low prices. And much of Temu's clothing is made of polyester or poly-cotton. Delivery times varied from 5 to 10 days.

[DivergentDroid]

No I have never heard of this store but then, I don't use apps from my phone to buy things. My phone is for phone calls only. Thanks for the info.

[abqmalenurse]

I love Temu! I have ordered a number of things from them and have been happy with all of them. Including a smart watch, which I think I paid about $12 for. Maybe a little more. It works great and I have accidentally showered with it on a couple of times. (It says water resistant.) No damage. Got a pair of Lenovo (actual brand name) earbuds and they sound awesome.
Wow. A lot of Sinophobia on here.
Basically all of the items I have bought from Temu have been shipped from within the US. That explains the short shipping time compared to Wish, which can literally take months. It also means they have warehouses in the US and so employ Americans.

[milodemoray]

When it comes to clothing, I have found it is always best to get a size or 2 bigger if you are buying from the Chinese. I say this because it still appears that whether you use metric or imperial the size I find is too small.

[psdaengr]

I never use an app if I can buy using a PC browser.

[SolidFake]

You have to ask yourself, how they are able to offer things so much cheaper. Someone somewhere has to pay for that, and they most likely aren't doing it willingly.

[rockland]

I just bought a vegetable chopper/slicer from Temu, the plastic casing cracked the first time I washed it, it's way too flimsy to be chopping vegetables one out of five stars. ⭐

[jacquesmainguy]

We'll have to see how long they can sustain such low prices with indeed quite decent quality for the price point. Another video about them pointed to the shipping model as one of the main reasons for the lower prices. Nothing is pre-positioned, but shipped from China, at time ordered, through a singe Indonesian air shipper. Lack of pre-positioning is the reason why shipping takes a week or so, but air shipping is why it does not take a month or more. Incidentally, a week or so of shipping is fine for me. I've always stayed away from Amazon Prime for that reason: I can always wait a few extra days (or even more if I have to wait until I can group enough orders to meet the threshold) for free shipping.

I am appreciate for your sacrifice. 🙏 Thanks

i love the under-counter auto-magic light-turner-onner !

As much as possible I try to avoid Chinese companies, though it is not possible to avoid them altogether. I was looking for bread pans made in America. It cost me $40 for two pans. When I got them I was impressed. Each pan weighed more than several of the Chinese pans. The construction was excellent and the coating tough and the do an excellent job. IT is about what you want and what you can afford. I have purchased from TEMU because they had what I needed at that time. There were no issues at all ordering from them. Like most companies once you order online from them you inbox starts to load with ads. Thanks for the video!
