Abt Time for TEMU Purchases Update. ?Recommend?

JoyFilled Warrior — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 19:37:15 GMT

Hi, QChatters

TEMU Ads continue to pop up when perusing other various Webpages.

Temu items continue to be soooo blessed tempting, still. The items, *and* esp the prices!

It's been awhile since checking in with ppl who purchased from Temu.

Any purchases you made?

Have you been satisfied?

Any problems?

Do you recommend purchasing from TEMU?

Any advice?

TIA (Thx In Advance)

(corrected "Tenu" to correct "TEMU" Thx @I am still oxox )

It pops up when I am playing solitaire but it is one of the easier ones to close. I do have ad blockers.

@JoyFilled Warrior. Proceed with Temu only if you wish to turn your personal information over to the Chinese government. I wouldn't touch it.

If you just a pop up blocker you won't get them. I actually forgot that pop up ads were a thing because I never get them. I think you meant Temu. I haven't bought anything in a month or so but I do check them out and their prices haven't changed at all. No surprise there because if I'm sure it will take them a long time to adjust prices on hundreds of thousands of items.

I'm a big time Temu shopper, and I've never had any problems with them - Started shopping there, since I saw their ads during last year's Super Bowl.

While a few of the items I've purchased ended up looking "cheap," I've been pleased with 95% of everything I bought...

From household/kitchen gadgets and novelties, to tunic tops, t-shirts, sweatpants and sweatshirts, costume jewelry, dresses, shoes and boots, to hair products, purses and readers.

Oh, and I've only used Paypal to pay for my purchases, from the very beginning, because I was skeptical of the company at first too.

OHHH @LavernLuvsShoes

They take Paypal! That's a great idea!! I've never had any problem with Paypal. Thanks!

I've been looking at the Nail Decorations, Jewelry, Plaques, maybe Wreaths, not so much body clothes. - altho maybe warm shoe/boots/slippers

Yes, forgot to mention that I was very pleased with the Pre-lit (battery-operated) Christmas Wreath I bought last year - It was beautiful. ♥

And I'm actually wearing a pair of Cabin Socks that have been amazing this (unusually cold) winter - Will definitely order another pair soon.

@LavernLuvsShoes @JoyFilled Warrior -- You say you use PayPal but Temu doesn't "attack" your account. It quietly installs little gremlins in your phone, tablet or computer. Then it watches what you do.

It's China's way of seeing what US citizens are up to.

@LavernLuvsShoes

You're a woman after my own heart!

I'm getting excited now. I've been filling a Temu cart for awhile now, but not buying. This very moment, heh,

(added: I saw this gorgeous, "cute-as-a-button" wreath, I sure would like also. is unusual, not the usual Red/Green, so I could last longer seasonally.)

I often do something on my laptop or my phone and the other device has an ad relevant. If you think they don't share data you are probably mistaken. If you have one shopping or social media app on your phone that you access on your laptop thats all they need via cookies.

I don't click on anything, type out the url instead.

I have a great ad blocker and in all these years have gotten ZERO pop up ads.

I went to that xxx.gov webpage and it SOCKED ME with at least 9 PRIVATE, forced, associated, hidden webpages planted on my puter!   including, PRIVATE urls.

An xxx.gov   webpage never ever ever did that to my puter before. Heck, that "planting" is the biggest reason I didnt join a particular Social Media. Turns out, I'm "infected" any way with that!

I'll leave that topic right here, but needless to say, "I'm spitting nails" abt this UNauthorized xxx.gov "infecting!"

It wasn't an .gov website, it was a spoofed name that you clicked on. Dont ever click on anything, type out the url.

@JoyFilled Warrior

Gotta say, I personally was never asked to check on "status" on a government website. So not "we, all of us." I think you got scammed in some way. Happens to the best of us.

Temu and SHEIN are both a hard no for me.

Did you hear anything about Temu filing a lawsuit against SHEIN, (or vice versa)? I thought Id heard it as a alleging Copycat kinda thing.
