I would never ever buy from them. All you ladies know the reasons.

Temu has warehouses in the US. The listing will include local and delivery time will be shorter.

Just recently, I was notified that a minimum purchase of $20 was required for items shipped from China. I suspect it's due to tarrifs.

Temu maintains warehouses in California, Texas, and New Jersey that benefit the US, shorten shipping time, and provide employment. They pay taxes as do their employees.

I've ordered from Temu before more than once.  Some things are great others not so much.  Mainly the picture doesn't always match what you get.  

But it amazed me how inexpensive things are.  Then American companies bring it to the states and jack the price way up.  That is why these clothes sellers are millionaires.  A made in China ployester Temu shirt may cost you $7 or less, in America it will cost $40 at least.

Because the prices are jacked way up when merchandise comes to the states.

Hi @Bubblyfoam  

I realize I'm perhaps "late to the Party here," but..

I’m sure there are unethical factories in China, but also most likely in India, Vietnam, Thailand etc. Yet I never see people boycott buying from those countries and so many clothes and shoes are manufactured there and purchased in this country. Especially shoes. China is always singled out. That I would like answers on.

It’s interesting that people single out China, yet so many other countries that we purchase from Vietnam and India probably have unethical factories too. Look at where most of your shoes are made.
