Tell us your experiences with TEMU.

They seem to have some fantastic prices.
The reviews run the range from scam to manna at a cheap price.
Some presentations are like WISH... showing a cheap price but it's for a screwdriver while showing a tool set.

Price was very cheap, $20 for both plus sales tax.
After 1 week one watch stopped working. So I decided to return both.
I had to go to UPS store to ship them back.
Temu did send me free shipping label in email. But I do not have a working printer, so had to pay $1.25 to print it at UPS office.
Then after about 2 weeks, I received refund back to my credit card. (except $1.25 printing cost)

Placed my first order a couple of days ago, but nothing’s shipped yet. Ordered less than $20 bucks worth of stuff, thinking I won’t be out too much if it’s a scam. If it works, there’s many very cool things I would want.

They keep showing on everything I look at. Tried to block them. DU only site I can (*). Ads annoy me so much, I won't look at them.

and under $6 each. Better than any I saw at Walmart. I also bought some green house plant clips and a birdhouse, I was satisfied with them. I ordered a sweater yesterday so I'm waiting to see how that is.

Me too.

It has to be crap at those prices.

Makes me think it's made by Asian slave labor.

Sorry.

50 bucks if it's junk.

From what I've heard, though, they're trying to push Alibaba and have big bucks behind them so can't get too screwy. Been burned by the cheapest of Chinese junk from ither vendors and I suspect these guys are for real.

Remember when "made in Japan" meant junk? Not so much any more.

interesting stuff. I'm wary of the latest oligarch on the block, so haven't bought anything. But then the older I get the less I need or want.

I'm sick of stuff. I've been going through everything and donating loads. If something is not appropriate to donate it goes to recycle.
