Just discovered it a few months back. All prices seem to be 50% lesser than Amazon. Ordered random small things like vegetable peelers, motion activated lights, cellphone holders, document bag, ear warmers, kids hats etc Quality seems similar to the similar items on Amazon/EBay that ship directly from Asia. Lots of reviews on Temu as well. Has it been a thing for some years now or are the reviews all fake? And where’s the catch? VC money that’s keeping the prices so down?
I 2nd to ur opinion. I found out the iPhone case Amazon selling for $20 vs Temu <$4. What a ripoff by Amazon sellers on some items. Now for trivial things I always check Temu before ordering from Amazon blindly. Don’t need them in 2 days can wait for couple of days.
Fake ads and low quality. In China they are best known as an app full of fake brands. Recently some tech team in China exposed their code that used Android vulnerabilities to collect all user messages, browser records and phone app activities for their profit. I wouldn’t trust this company.
Reviews are mostly fake and positive ones bubble up. Does not mean the quality you get is terrible for the price you pay as you pointed out. Shipping can take longer and returns are not as seamless as Amazon. I believe they are able to keep prices down by not being “customer first” in a way.
Downside is shipping time, about a month. But for many things it’s worth it
Temu is good, iv been using them for months now. Much cheaper than Amazon and shipping is on point. The only trouble is some of the items I received were much smaller than regular us sized items. Example I got a laundry basket which looked normal in the pics but ended up being a minion size.
Ordered a few toddler dresses and I liked the make n quality for the price!
I like Temu but Amazon’s competitive edge is the 2 day shipping. It’s just a matter of much you’re willing to pay for speed
It has a super low rating on bbb, I’ve wanted to order from it but it seems like another version of aliexpress.
Agree with the general sentiment here about quality and shipping time. But in a lot of cases, that’s ok with me. A document bag with lock that was $25 on Amazon was $6 on Temu. Even the pics were the same. I don’t expect good quality, but this is something I’ll touch maybe 3-4 times a year. Also ok waiting for 2 weeks for delivery.

How big are the balls of Google to lay off thousands and then do 70 BILLION in stock buyback?
Wondering the same. Haven't ordered so far though.all I know is manufactured and maybe even shipped from china. Hence the cheaper price
