TEMU website

bargainsgirl — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 00:07:13 GMT

Does anyone order from this site? I was hesitant cause the prices are so low but took a chance after checking it out best I could. We ordered 4 replacement wheels for my old Pilates machine. Pack of 4 for $9.00! They fit fine. No one else seemed to have them and they were out of stock on the Aero Pilates website ($45.00!). Wondered if anyone buys from them and how the experience was.

@bargainsgirl Believe it or not, I was just going to ask about Temu. I saw something approx 50% less than Amazon and wonder what kind of company this is and if anyone here has ordered from it. Hope someone replies to our queries.

Everything I have read about it says no, don't order from them. Don't give them your information.

I ordered some things and they came pretty quickly. Then I placed another order and one after that. Both of the second batch of orders have been late, but they did credit my account with $5 for the orders coming after the promised date(s). The first order was some cute t-shirts; the second one has a couple of dresses and the third order has some leggings and a couple of other things. So far, the quality has been fine and I have gotten free shipping each time.

That said, I now get at least 5 emails a day from them.

Wasn't there a thread about TEMU recently? It's Chinese-based and -owned. I believe it's like an online dollar store. Go for it if you trust China with your information.

I won't give my personal information, through my credit card, to the Chinese government. Do you trust them?

I've used them once. Purchased stationary type things and a cat bed. Takes a while to get here--about 2 weeks. The stuff I bought was super inexpensive and quality reflected that.

If they had something I needed that I couldn't find anywhere else, I might order from them again, but not going to be a regular customer.

I hesitated for quite some time, but finally broke down and ordered. Honestly, I loved the tops I ordered. Were they high quality---no---but better than some Walmart tops I have gotten. Great for my everyday errands etc. Yes, I was worried about my info with them, but in my humble opinion, they can probably get that from mulitiple places already.The only thing I didn't like, I ordered a cell phone case that was supposed to fit my cell phone, but it didn't. I have wasted $5 on worse things than that! lol But, I understand your hesitance, but know that I have enjoyed my purchases.

My husband has ordered several times from them. I ordered some fall decorations and had no issues.

No way am I ordering from them.

@bargainsgirl my brother in law has ordered from them at least 4 times and he is very happy with what he has received. He ordered briefs, knife sharpner, toe less socks and other stuff. Also a Tshirt and the quality was just like others you buy in the stores. It takes about a week for him to receive them.

Somethings else I have never seen before is a sponge holder that goes over the kitchen faucet. It hangs a few inches in the sink and I like it. They tried those with suction cups and they never worked. They always fell off.

They seem very fishy. The pictures of merchandise look like they have been taken from another site. The prices seem suspicious.

I haven't ordered from them, but I know others who have that had positive experiences. I haven't heard anything bad yet.

I saw an ad today from TEMU offering ladies tees for 89 cents! They advertised they were having a sale. I scrolled through and the highest price I saw in my brief scroll was $1.19. I just find these prices hard to believe. I do not feel at ease to order from them.

l have ordered a lot from them , most of it was good quality usable items . T-shirts 4-8 dollars are great , actually better than amazon, the ones l got from them all "pilled" and were over 20 bucks each . l have gotten 5 dollars credit for shipping a day late . There was an article about temu a while back , they pack and send right from their factory and skip middle man so can sell cheap .

Won't buy from them. Won't click on an ad. To me somethings are more valuable than saving money.

@bargainsgirl I recently read an article on TEMU. Stay away from them! Do a BBB search on them, it will tell you more. I would not touch that site even if things were free.

@Pezzie, I'm with you! You shouldn't even download their app. I can't believe anyone trusts this place. No way!

Both Temu and Tik Tok are Chinese companies. There have been many warnings about them.

If you'd actually trust them with your financial information, and don't mind their cookies in your devices, hey, go for it.

I always wondered if anyone purchases a re-loadable credit card to use on those sites.
