My wife has bought a few things from Temu. You have to be very careful and read ALL of the fine print. I think everything she bought was clothes but we've heard some "nightmare" (some of them funny) stories. Can't remember what it was but somebody bought a "to good to be true" deal and when they got it, they bought a picture of the item they thought was such a deal. They tried to get money back but when they read the fine print, it plainly said "this is a photograph". ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

I have bought some stuff (indoor/outdoor thermometers and small parts plastic trays). So far I am happy with what I bought. Very cheap prices and relatively quick shipping (they must have warehouses in the USA). I have a friend that is a USPS rural mail delivery person. She says she has a lot of their merchandise to deliver.

I've had GREAT luck in buying from TEMU. Under counter LED strips, IDE/ATA to USB interface, foamy insoles,gardening watering connectors,'Q-tips', bandaids, electronic modules,4.5" sandpaper disks,bicycle front LED light,LEDs for tractor,drain uncloggers,magnets. yeesh all sorts of 'must haves'. Also bought a 'mason jar cold coffee filter' for 1/4 of what Amazon listed the SAME thing for ! Prices are very good,though I do get nailed GST(Cdn taxes...grrrr), free shipping, delivery is within 2 weeks. Quality is standard,same as stuff in 'bricks and motor' stores here,just a LOT cheaper. Used to buy from BANGGOOD, mostly electronic modules, but then found out TEMU have the SAME products at a lower cost, so I jumped ship. All in all,TEMU has worked out for me,usually order once a month,sometime twice . ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Cheap Chinese goods direct from China without any middlemen. Happy to see everyone fully gleefully supporting China's communist economy.

TEMU is and has been investigated for malware and spyware. It can override privacy settings, and sells your data. The US and state governments are suing them for various reasons, including forced labor. Personally, I’ll stay away. Temu: when Walmart just isn’t cheap and Chinese enough for you!

Once in a while I listen to the Kim Komando show. She discusses the latest tech trends.

Keep em busy filling out shipping labels and hope it takes their minds off playing around with killer pandemics such as Covid and having them and Fauci giving it to us. Kinda kewl having a few things around you can honestly say were built by 6 year old orphans and convicts who were most likely paid maybe a chicken or a duck every month too.

It must the the 'app' you download onto your MADE IN CHINA 'smart phone' as their website doesn't do anything bad using a real desktop. As for selling your information , nearly EVERY 'app' does that ( read the TOU ), YOU gave them permission to do so.... same as Amazon, Google, all Apple stuff, etc. BTW Chinese would not have had COVID-19 without the direct consent of some Americans. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

I don't know who has sued them, what the case is about. If it is forced labour it's only because hey don't have a generous welfare system like the USA does. wonder if the antiTEMU guys have ever bought from AMAZON ? ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Some kind of Communist brain washing or mind control involved with Temu when every item says only two left, better hurry then next day all items say stock of maby 15 be happy in your shopping and prosper, following day right back to only 2 left better hurry.

I think everyone is saying there are different levelsl of "BAD"... Obviously we would all like to "BUY AMERICAN" a much as possible.. That is not possible for many item. Just not worth building something in the USA that cost $9. to build and sells for $9.10 .... Wal Mart, Harbor Freight, Amazon... all sell "STUFF" made in China.. They also have US distributors of the STUFF and offer warranty, 30 day returns and guarantees... I dont know TEMU business profile, but i think they probably dont meet the same standards. I do know that the wife has bought a variety of little items and has not had problems.. That being said, i question the "LEGIT" of Tic Toc and TEMU and their relation to the CCP in CHina.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I went to El Paso to visit my #3 Son and he had a TEMU card,,or rather "Used to have" a TEMU card and would not elaborate why he cut his card up recently but he did say that his card started to show some "WEIRD ChIT and at least 150 of the men working at that oil well field had done likewise,,,,? His serious advice was,,,"DAD, Dont get a temu card!!" He's pretty computor savey,,so I figure he knows what he's talking about,,,,?

I guess the sentiment is that we shouldn't buy Chinese merchandise, so I researched a little. I guess we are all only using Ridgid cordless tools? Milwaukee tools today are manufactured globally in China, Germany, Mexico, the United States, and Vietnam. Most DEWALT tools are made in China, Taiwan, and other Asian countries. However, they have a select line of products that are assembled in the USA, but from international materials. In addition to its existing production bases in the United States and Europe, beginning in 2005, .The Ridge Tool Company is an American manufacturing company that makes and distributes tools under the Ridgid brand name. The company was founded in 1923 in North Ridgeville, Ohio. In 1943, it relocated to its current location in Elyria, Ohio, and in 1966, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of |

I didn't read all the posts on this, so maybe I am late to the party. I have purchased a couple of things from Temu, quality is OK, price is cheap, one item I had to wait two months for as it shipped directly from China. All that said, my payment went directly to China. I have decided not to do business with them on that basis alone. I juts can't live with myzelf making China stronger as we grow weaker. Others may see it differently....so be it. ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

If they put a tariff on imported goods, who do you think is going to pay that tariff? The consumer (you and I) will pay it. It's great to think that tariffs will be the cure all, but the big companies can't hire enough people to produce more. Everyone has Help Wanted signs out. There are local companies that have jobs that pay very well, that are advertising on TV to hire. These are the same companies that it was almost impossible to get a job at a few years, unless you had a friend or relative that would recommend you.

On the world chessboard, China has been the master. 'Allows' foreign companies to it's cheap labour and raw materials (many imported from Canada and the USA ). 'Allow' American companies to market their 'low cost - must have' products, exclusively Made in China.Yes it's taken a few short decades but as Lou says, we can't feed,clothe,house or support our citizens unless the 'bits and pieces' say Made in China. OK, some other countries like India and Vietnam, but most is from one source. This has made it EASY for them to take over North America. OK, not this decade but before 2050, I expect they will be in CONTROL ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Our Gubmint is the REAL reason this is happening. THEY (pols) own big parts of these companies and WE paid to relocate them overseas. Just so THEY could make MORE money. We need a complete sweep.....

re: I'll never have to buy a battery again!! good thing, cause with the new tarifffs on them, you won't be able to AFFORD to buy them !
