Temu Goods?

[dustypuss]

Has any body used and bought things from the TEMU website? Are they any good or just cheap rubbish?

[barry1010]

Temu is just a shop window for many sellers.  Some will be better than others but I'm not tempted to buy anything

They are good, have bought 2 hybrid golf clubs and a pair of golf shoes among other things and the quality was great. Not the quickest at delivering, but worth the wait.

I have bought several  things from Temu. Always been happy with the  items. I do know some people have been disappointed though. When their items came they were much smaller than they appeared on the pics,

From what I've heard, it's a bit like Amazon, independent sellers so some good, some not so good.

Very mixed, had some lovely stuff and some absolute rubbish but they are very good at sorting refunds for returns.  Craft stuff has been especially good and their plus size clothes are pretty generous sizes.

Thank you all . I think I will give them a go.

Hi Dusty, I never heard of temu until a few months back, a friend had a great item i admired, she said she got it online but never said where, I told her next time we met, I couldn't find that item, she told me about temu, it is kind of for me, like a Poundland or something but great anything I got, 2 litre drinks water bottle, there was some nifty stuff for the kitchen and bathroom, i particularly liked the tear shaped soap dishes but I  wouldn't use it to buy gift for anyone. they have great returns policy (Not that i would return the items i get, they are so cheap) but if they don't deliver by the date on the receipt, they pay you £5 for the wait. If I were you, i would only order small dose from them until you get used to them.

Fibonacci. Thanks for the link . Most interesting.

As has been said, Temu operates as a 'marketplace', rather than as vendor.  So there are many thousands of companies offering goods for sale there, with some being better than others.

There are loads of YouTube videos though, showing exactly what people received when they bought from the site.  Some items are outright fakes, whereas many others are 'clones'. (i.e. direct copies of products from western manufacturers but with different brand names on them).  However most items seem to be genuinely functional.

Temu is simply doing what another well-known Chinese website has been doing for years.  It's that other website that I use quite a lot and that I've had plenty of bargains from. For example, this handheld amateur radio transceiver costs £43.99 on Amazon http://tinyurl.com/4mb929wp but I paid just £10.92 for it (including import VAT and carriage) on my preferred site, with it arriving from China in just a few days.

Annoyingly though, AB's server blocks the name of the site that I'm happy to recommend here.  So all I can say is that you should imagine the former boxer, Mohammad ALI, watching the movie, Polar EXPRESS, to get my drift 😉

Why won't *Ad which shall not be named*.com show?

I wonder if one of the EDs had a bad experience with them?

[THECORBYLOON]

Does a short url work?

CHRIS, a short url to an item on that site works.

If you do a search questions on Temu have been asked before. I believe I replied on two of them.

 

Yeah, I got caught out on the Ali one before now. Other site names allowed, but not that one apparently. Inconsistent.

[dustypuss]

Again thank 🙂

I find it very good, anything I've ordered was as advertised, I've also had a refund of 5£ when an order was late and it was only late by one day... There's no need to make a minimum spend to get free shipping, you can order for as little as you want and still get free shipping. Plus watch out for the price adjustment feature, if you're order drops in price you can get a refund for the different.
