+22 The hate that Temu gets is overblown, amirite?

i have numerous items that i have bought on amazon in the past, which i then purchased on temu. literally the exact same products down to the sku numbers on the barcode. except if its $10 on amazon, temu is only charging $1.75. my mom and i have the same gardening gloves - she paid $15 on amazon and i paid like $3 on temu

You can get scammed on any website. It's like the saying goes "If it's too good to be true, it's probably false" so don't expect to get an HD camera for $3.

And if it is true, every single entity involved that is not you is getting exploited hard.

I just recently tried Temu for the first time. And while I haven't gotten the items yet, the app is giving me relentless notifications and emails. I had to go through 3 different gambling games to even complete my purchase, and they keep nagging me about some prize I won or something. I'm glad I used an old phone and a burner email to sign up for it

I've also gotten good products on temu, couldnt find the type of litter box i was looking for with the right dimensions and temu was the only place that had it and its good quality

I agree, aliexpress, shein, temu all have nice stuff, just dont buy big titty bras lol and put a little research in the clothes, got many good quality trousers from shein Also great for buying some basic hobby supplies, phone/tablet cases/smart watch straps etc etc etc

Amazon, AliExpress, and Temu are all fairly interchangeable to me. Amazon has the best selection and Temu has the most annoying interface, but otherwise they're all kinda the same. I recently bought two items from Temu for the first time and I was actually pretty stunned at how high quality they were for the price. They're no different than the same items of other brands that cost 3-4 times as much. Heck, probably made in the same factories. With the rapid rise in inflation, some of us can't afford NOT to shop at certain retailers.
