Temu

Is their stuff any good? They have some really cute, cheap baby clothes. Are they decent or shoddy?

Temu is basically a place like Amazon. Thereā€™s a ton of different shops selling on there. So the quality will vary. Some are good, some are bad.

I like a lot of their things and truly believe they are the same you find from Chinese manufacturers on Amazon. I think theyā€™re just cheaper because they donā€™t have to pay the Amazon fees. Iā€™ve also found their customer service very helpful

The only things Iā€™d note are that the baby clothes tend to run large

And

Please please make a new email to use when ordering. They will not leave me alone even though Iā€™ve unsubscribed multiple times :grimacing::grimacing:

I have looked at their stuff several times and thought about ordering, but I canā€™t seem to get past the knowledge that they sell knock off kits and dolls that are taking away from our sculptors, business And for that reason I just canā€™t. Even though I know Amazon sells some of that stuff as well, I just canā€™t seem to make myself go through Temu. There are a couple of ladies at my church who love to order there. Though, and have gotten a lot of things for their sewing, like fat quarters and things for quilts and different cloth, etc. I may someday order there, but I just havenā€™t.

My DIL orders quite a bit from themā€¦just little household things mostlyā€¦she orders from tik tok shop also.

I just canā€™t do itā€¦knowing that it sets you up for stolen infoā€¦for some reason I feel slightly protected ordering through Amazonā€¦but who knows these days

Iā€™ve looked on there a lot but the issue about identity theft has always been the ONLY issue that has kept me from proceedingā€¦ The fact that there are shops on there that sell counterfeit is not an issue for me because Temu is basically just an ā€˜internet mallā€™ for other venders just like Ebay and Amazon are. If you stopped buying anywhere counterfeits are appearing, you would narrow your shopping experience down to a VERY small marginā€¦ Integrity falls in the lap of the buyer these days in whether or not you purchase from a direct seller on any site who is known to be selling counterfeits. If a person is genuinely not willing to buy from sites that sponsor venders who sell counterfeit items you would have to stop buying from or selling on Ebay, Etsy, Facebook, Amazon, and many others. I do not buy counterfeit items myself but I do shop where there may be venders that sell them like Ebay for example. It is up to me not to cross the line and support those venders That is just my personal opinionā€¦ :grimacing: :blush:

I have ordered silicone bead pacifier clips with the wooden clasp from Temu and AliExpress. Both orders were lovely. They end up costing about $2.00 each with the postage cost. I havenā€™t ordered any clothing or other items from them.

I have to mention that I am skeptical about social media in general. After watching my husband buying things on amazon, Ebay and Temu, well of course I wanted to try to buy something. I was in the processā€™s of ordering a dish drying tray/rack, beautiful, $49.00. I thought the price was a little higher than I wanted to pay just to try the Temu fever, so I put it in the car anyway, but continue shopping for other things, then I saw a similar but less expensive drying rack I went to the car to remove the previous item and order the latest, there wasnā€™t a way to remove the item, the ā€œremoveā€ icon was there, but after pressing the button many times, that icon to remove the item wasnā€™t functional. Well l, I assumed that it was remove, because I couldnā€™t see it in when I reviewed the order, guess what, they charge my card for both item, sent them both to me and it was Hā€¦ā€¦, ā€œdifficult to returned. Still in the box. Stay tuned for one mire line. I when to the review section and found a lady from Spain with the same issue. Do not discouraged!, just be aware!.

I thought the same. I use Amazon for subscribe and save, and about two years ago after I put a vitamin supplement on the subscribe, someone began using my card to make large purchases ever few minutes. My bank notified me and we were able to get it reversed. It was traced to the seller of the supplements. I canceled that supplement and havenā€™t had an issue since. But it was scary.

Temu is a lot like Amazon. The same stuff from China but without the middle man, which cuts the price back. Iā€™ve ordered kitchen bins and clothing from them and have been pretty happy with the items.

Iā€™ve ordered home goods, tee shirts and lots of random things from Temu for years. Never had a problem, I always pay using PayPal. Quality has been fine. Almost everything on Temu you can also find on Amazon and Shein. It just comes quicker and costs a bit more on Amazon.

I was a little skeptical of temu until I saw the same items on there as on Amazon for half the price. A neighbor convinced my to try temu after showing me some clothes she had bought her daughters. First order was mainly dog items. A few outfits didnā€™t fit, the water bottles for my small dogs were huge. I contacted temu, they told me to just keep the items and refunded my entire order. I was on the phone with them and couldnā€™t believe they would that. Since then Iā€™ve ordered doll clothes for my granddaughter which were a few dollars apiece and the quality was good enough I bought some for my preemie size dolls. I also ordered some newborn but havenā€™t tried them on dolls yet. I really like the shirts Iā€™ve gotten. Beautiful designs in a silky polyester that stays cooler. Bought Mens boots for $20 which I.knew were not leather. Smelled fora day but then I put them on. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I now have the boots and lower ones. lol, I call them my elf shoes because they are a teal color and the stitching shows and looks handmade even though it isnā€™t.

I tried Temu for the first time a few weeks ago. Ordered some pjā€™s for myself and my Husband. I saw on some Reddit threads people recommended only ordering from the Website instead of the App which is what I did. I also continued as guest and payed through PayPal. The items were very nice and honestly great quality!

I order from Shein frequently.
