I saw a product I'm interested in, but it asks me to download app to be able to purchase.

Anyone use it before?

If you treat anything you get from there as a one time use item it isn’t half bad.

Delivery wise it could be a week. It could be a month. It could be never.

I've used it. It's legit. But it's Chinese junk. Still I'm shocked by how cheap it was.
I got some stuff for my boat and some other knick nacks. Similar to what you see on alibaba

It’s Chinese data mining

Mixed.

I've ordered some things that were cheaply made but are holding up ok. Like a rechargeable flashlight my kids used on beach for a week. It was great light but you can tell it won't hold up long.

What I did get tremendous value in was one of the Bogg bags people use for beach and such .

Spent $29 bucks on the size I saw at Dicks for $110 bucks. We have had this bag over a year and you can't tell the difference at all. It's identical.

It's been worth the gamble on most things.

Judging by all the packages I receive at my house every week that my MIL has purchased, I guess so.

If anyone steals my identity I’ll start sending my wife’s Amex bill to them every month. They’ll beg me to take it back

I've bought items that are over double the price on Amazon for the exact same thing. I just make sure to use Paypal for payment.

I think so. We got all of our material from TEMU for the next big refinery expansion we’re doing.

I have a pretty successful side business that has me sending out hundreds of bubble mailers per month. I got an ad for some on Temu that were insanely cheap and said "ok its a bubble mailer, how shitty could it possibly be?"

Impossibly shitty. Deleted my account and took that spyware arse app off my phone. Strongly considering throwing away the few thousand bubble mailers I ordered from them.

I've gotten some decent stuff before, including some stuff that likely came from the same Chinese factory as the name brand, but I have always gone in with low expectations. Exclusively use PayPal to make payments because I'm not giving them my credit card info directly.

Some of the gadgets I've bought on there for really cheap are pretty cool, like a plasma arc lighter that bends for candles and some other low tech stuff, but be wary of buying clothes on there--they often look a lot better quality-wise than they really are.

The neck fans are legit.

Once bought a "Lego Set" from AliBaba. Dont do that. No instructions on a Hogwortz School set with 6000 pcs.

Chinese spyware luring people in with cheap shite. I don't understand why people keep making it so easy for others to take their privacy. At least make them work for it

I've heard it's legit as far as buying products, but tons of data thievery from their domain. Dangerous website to use. I've never used it, just repeating what I've heard.
