TEMU

[Patanawet]

Has anyone bought any of the very cheap items from Temu?

They have extraordinarily cheap electronic items OBVIOUSLY copies but do they work?

Thanks, but I don't need warnings from people who have never bought from them.
I'll start it off by saying I once bought a VERY cheap watch (148 baht) but had to buy more for minimum order so I bought razor blades to bring the order to 180 ish Baht.

The watch is excellent but the blades were rubbish.
I am interested in a cheap reserve phone to keep for emergencies.

I buy off Temu every week here in Australia 

Last week my parcel didn't arrive , the tracker app said the courier delivery was 823am , there was NO parcel in my foyer of my apartment building nor did he buzz my unit 

I contacted TEMU immediately and they immediately returned my $40 payment !!👍😁

There was no way that courier delivered my parcel 📦 he either delivered to the wrong apartment building or kept it himself

Temu is just second middleman after Aliexpress (Alibaba) btw Chinese manufacturer and consumer without any added value.

You may cut Temu and buy the from first middleman -Aliexpress at least 25-30% cheaper.

For example, on Temu:

There are few categories, which per my experience you should never buy from noname Chinese brands: razors (they just do not shave), contact lenses (doubtful quality and health control) , cosmetics and make up (nobody has tested it safety), condoms (they are not reliable).

I bought some deodorant,  said to be lavender and sage. Incredibly  cheap, and Incredibly useless!

Thanks Moses. Just trying to join Alie Express now.
I wonder if this works bypassing Lazada which is also owned by ALI

A friend became addicted to Temu's junk. Now he has boxes of stuff that he will likely never use. The cheap products verify that you get what you pay for.

It looks as though almost everyone who's used them states they're scam artists.

Like with most things off the Internet, quality isn't assured. Read the feedback if there is any. Found with Temu there are a lot of items advertised as "Only 4 left" as a physiological entice to make you buy it.

Bought a few items, with some success. However, prefer Lazada, as their quality is better, and more often that not, identical items are cheaper.

Probably a psychological rather a physiological enticement........bloody software thinking it knows better than us!
