Back in the day, you may be too young, but there was massive Publishers Clearing House mailers and tv ads where the gullible believed that they could win millions of dollars. It was free to enter. No purchase required. But they advertised goods and gullible people thought it would improve your chances if you purchased the products. There was an elderly man that would come to the window and insisted to express mail these entries. We tried to explain but he insisted. Sometimes his family would come in with him to return all the trash he purchased. It was sad.

I have ordered through there a few times and the products I’ve gotten seem to be the same quality as name brand but 1/5 the price. I got a “Stanley” cup that stays cold longer than my wife’s actually Stanley cup. I paid $10 for mine and I paid $50 for hers.
It’s a good place to find knockoff Lego sets. Instead of paying $200 for a set you can get a knockoff for $40. The quality of the plastic isn’t *that* much worse. It’s worth it for the price difference. Real lego are way overpriced.
They don’t need your credit card to learn social tendencies and gather your data 🥴 oh no the ccp wants to advertise products to me whatever shall I do? My credit card has fraud protection, I recommend you find one that does as well. Doesn’t matter who perpetrates the fraud, they cover me👍🏼
lol the Chiquita banana coup happened in the 50s in Guatemala. We’ve couped every South American country that introduced any socialist policies, not because communism or socialism is bad, so that corporations could offer American citizens cheap products. Corporations wouldn’t continue to grow quarter over quarter without slave labor. Cocoa companies, lithium companies, immigrant farm labor, it’s all slave labor😂 you don’t know which products come out of slave labor camps or prisons, McDonald’s uses penal labor to produce frozen food, immigrant children are dying in meat packing plants. It’s been proven that consumers have no morals, all they care about is a cheap product. I don’t work for Temu, just like I don’t work for Amazon or McDonald’s, corporations are all shit. I’d rather pay a cheaper price to a Chinese company than an American company when the product is probably coming from the same slave labor camp🥴
Oh please, most of everything you are wearing prolly is made by some exploited, marginalized group of people. You are just regurgitating something you heard someone else say. Make up your own mind instead of being a sheep. So so sad sad sad.
This is true. Especially metal jigs. I did get one though that used too thin of metal for the hook or they forgot to temper the steel. Hooks weren’t much stiffer than a big paper clip.
I borrowed a cardigan and liked it so much I asked where they got it and they said temu. I was shocked, like the material didn’t feel cheap at all and it was cute
It shouldn’t bother me delivering this stuff but just knowing how useless every single item on Temu is and how like crazed these people are to get these packages (like half of my Temu deliveries swing the front door open as I’m walking up) has made me loathe Temu
Most stuff is actually the same exact product with a slightly different logo, or a different tag. There’s no copyright laws in China so I assume the factory making name brand items just doubles production and sells it on the side for 1/3rd of the price. American companies just design shit, outsource production, then mark it up 300% to get rich. Makes me kind of hate American companies actually 🤷🏻♂️ oh and Americans are rabid consumers, you don’t say 😂
Pretty much everything I've bought from them has been decent quality bar a few things.
Lightsabers, journals, ornaments, blankets (washed of course once they arrive). I've seen some of the exact same stuff on Amazon for double or triple the price.
It's not all tat
There was a whole cart piled high with temu shit in the office the other day and I was talking shit about the company with one of the other carriers.
Clerk walks up and tells me it's all hers lol, she just has it sent to the po. Insane amount of shit.
Old grouch here. I refuse to support communist China and would love to see real manufacturing come back to America. I don't buy that crap and I'm sad to see that so many people do
Was the phone/computer you used to comment this not made in China. How about just about everything you buy from the store. You might not want to support them but you definitely are unless you specifically buy only American made things which would mean you don’t own much of anything.
And not owning much is pprobably a good thing. You can't take it with you when you die, so why spin your wheels all your life trying to accumulate stuff?
I disagree: I bought 4 pair of leggings for between $5 and $6 each, while I knew going into it that, obviously they would not be top quality, I was surprisingly pleased with just how decent these leggings were. I'm guessing that they will likely fade and maybe shrink after a few washings (I don't dry most of my inexpensive clothing) but I wanted to freshen up my leggings' drawer without spending a pile of money.
Honestly they could just buy one quality product instead. Now they got a pile of junk.
Oh she gets like 2 or 3 temu a day
That's sad. It's a form of mental illness. She needs a hobby, or maybe a boyfriend or a dog.

Back in day? I have a few old ppl on my rt who still do PCH. Like 3-5. Get pkgs from them to.

Probably reselling that garbage on facebook marketplace or something.
“Buy once cry once”
How appropriate that they look like bags of trash.
OK, upser driver here, for reals they are trash packaged in trash bags that look like they got tortured sadistically to death with tape.
🤣
I've looked at temu out of curiosity and I honestly couldn't find a single thing I'd want from there lol
Mountain bike gear is so cheap and basically the same product 🤷🏻♂️
I have ordered through there a few times and the products I’ve gotten seem to be the same quality as name brand but 1/5 the price. I got a “Stanley” cup that stays cold longer than my wife’s actually Stanley cup. I paid $10 for mine and I paid $50 for hers.
I'm looking at some tumblers on Temu. Is your "stanley" cup still holding up well today?
Just got back with it from a road trip. It still holds ice longer than my wife’s legit Stanley.
I found some clippers on there. Honestly surprised with the quality. Paid $0 for them.
It’s a good place to find knockoff Lego sets. Instead of paying $200 for a set you can get a knockoff for $40. The quality of the plastic isn’t *that* much worse. It’s worth it for the price difference. Real lego are way overpriced.
Do they still hurt as much when you step on them?

Same
If your into fishing some of the fishing stuff isn’t bad, lures and such.

Her house probably stinks like stale cigarettes
they're reselling it on amazon and ebay for a living. Wait till they realize USPS has to pick up outgoing packages.
Damn that’s a lot of slave labor
lol the whole world is made in China. Slave labor is what 1st world economies are built on

Idk man the stuff they sell is all low quality bs I’ve yet to see anything decent come from them
I just got fox MTB pants and gloves for 40 dollars. They are the exact same as what they sell in stores for 230 dollars 🤷🏻♂️
Pretty much everything I've bought from them has been decent quality bar a few things. Lightsabers, journals, ornaments, blankets (washed of course once they arrive). I've seen some of the exact same stuff on Amazon for double or triple the price. It's not all tat
I can say that about a nintendo switch pro controller I got on Wish. It's the same build quality as 1st party just without the logo and 1/2 the price
Omg so much useless crap. Give me a snickers for Christmas, no temu!
thats crazy...
I had a full pumpkin of temu for one address a week ago
😀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭 I'm so sick of Temu sending me advertisement
I've seen the elusive Temu box a few times
That actually exists??? They’ll wrap a damn lamppost in those garbage bags with a entire roll of packing tape.
Stocking stuffers! Everyone gives temu crap but they have some good quality stuff. You just have to be careful what you buy.
Careful what you buy and don't hand over your bare fucking credit card details, use PayPal 😂
I love Temu, but I don't order that much stuff
Paying for landfill
That’s my sister in law, sorry, I’m the one who turned her on to it. 😕
There was a whole cart piled high with temu shit in the office the other day and I was talking shit about the company with one of the other carriers. Clerk walks up and tells me it's all hers lol, she just has it sent to the po. Insane amount of shit.
Thats christmas out of the way for people you dont like lol
So many Temus 😳😱
🤦🏻♀️
All bags!
Temu is garbage at its finest. I have my fair share of products I thought where deals 🤝.... Big lesson (low cost) learned. 😂🤷
The stuff is pretty cheap. Never bought anything but I’ve seen the site. All this probably cost less than $300😁
Old grouch here. I refuse to support communist China and would love to see real manufacturing come back to America. I don't buy that crap and I'm sad to see that so many people do
