Anyone bought anything from Temu?

Some stuff is better than others. It’s cheap stuff that people buy and sell to you on Amazon for triple the price, so you’re getting a better deal through TEMU

For things that don’t matter if they are cheap crap/single use or just for a backup it works great.

Shipping is painfully slow, and be very careful to read the descriptions and sizes.

I use it to buy cheap versions of things that I am considering purchasing a more expensive item, or for something I know I can’t afford the brand name version yet.

One area they are absolutely racking up in is arts and crafts. They are putting a hurting on brick and mortar stores that deal in similar stuff, like Hobby Lobby. As far as the store brand stuff goes, Temu sells the same quality stuff, made in the same factories for a fraction of the cost.

My mom buys a good bit of that type stuff, and there really is not a whole lot of difference in the two sellers, other than the Hobby Lobby 500% markup.

It’s cheap crap but at least it’s cheap. Amazon will sell the same cheap crap for way more.

Yes, it was cheap garbage and I’ll never order with them again and I’ve heard that from everyone I know that bought from them. Makes me wonder what their ultimate strategy is because they aren’t getting any repeat customers. Makes me feel like it’s a big data mining operation of US by China

I watched a few YouTube reviews and the items reviewed were mostly well made and served the purpose intended. The reviewers did get some items that were junk but it is what it is. We went on a little Temu shopping spree but our items haven't arrived yet so I'll be able to give a first hand review next week.

Bought some shoes that looked too good to be true.
They were.
They are trash. I didn’t know you could even make things that poorly.
I now use them when I work in the yard.

my wife has gotten a few things through them - most good, a few duds.

she bought 200 tiny plastic ducks for like 2 bucks. 1 came broke, but we didn't mind. my folks went out of town, so we went to their apartment and hid all 199 of them. when they found 1, we told them we hid 200. they have only found about 140, and it has been about 5 months or so.

my dad has late stage dementia, so for him it was a fun experience - watching him get excited like a child was a good experience and feeling.

It’s legit wife uses that crap all the time

I bought dresses I wear to work from Temu and love them.
