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.

@JoyFilled Warrior - no I haven't heard anything about that.

OMG...   Grow up.  This is what every site you visit online or through an app does.  It's not just Chinese companies.  It's all companies.  All news and entertainment sites.  They "learn" what we want and like and give it to us.  Even QVC.

I've done about 10 orders total with Temu over the past year and a half and am mostly happy with what I bought.

First, I NEVER use the app, I don't even have it on my phone. I order from Temu's website and only pay via Paypal so that I don't have to input my credit card information. I might miss out on a coupon but they structure those to get you to buy more and to me the prices and selection are fine for what I end up paying.

I have bottom kitchen cabinets that are deep but have a shallow upper shelf.  I found these unique narrow but deep storage baskets with wheels that fit perfectly.  Now if I need something from the back bottom area I just pull out a basket and can access what I want.  They aren't sold anywhere else  (never saw them even on Amazon).

I have a giant, open cabinet under my stove area.  I bought a metal "pot organizer shelf" that fits perfectly and is very sturdy, even holds my Le Creuset pots.

For my closet I bought these "shoe slot organizers" which are these nifty organizers where you can fit one pair of shoes but stacked vertically. I made sure to look at measurements as cheaper ones are smaller.  I was very happy with the high-quality ones I got and was able to fit like 20 pairs of shoes in a very small space.  Highly recommend!

I have problem feet (bunions).  Temu has the biggest selection of toe separators, blister covers, and other shoe accessories, items I've never seen even on Amazon or in any store.  These have been super helpful.

I bought travel toiletry containers that are really clever.  Again, these are super cheap compared to what you'd find in the stores.

I do not recommend buying clothing or shoes.  I purchased a couple of items but they  are not close to how they are pictured.

Also, before buying always check measurements. Their pictures can be pretty photoshopped to where if you check measurements you'll realize it's not even close to what is pictured.

When you do make a purchase count on doing no returns. Only one time was an item so bad that I returned it but they gave me the choice to have a credit for next time and to just keep the item which I took. When I do a Temu order I write it off as non-returnable because it's a huge hassle to do a return. I just figure the cheap prices and unique items are worth maybe getting a few unusable items.

Hi @busymom22  

You have been incredibly helpful, and with many terrific hints & suggestions!   Love'n this.  Thank you!   "Just what the doctor ordered

I've found that shoe sizes are pretty standard, BUT dresses and tops run small - A "Large" in Chinese sizing is much smaller than in U.S. sizes.

Hi @LavernLuvsShoes 

Thank you so much for your tips! I feel far more secure & relief.

I "feel like a kid in a candy store."   (Hopefully my money remains stable).

Clothes made in China hardly ever fit me.  My shape is like an Ice Cream cone. I buy separates here, or hire a good tailor.

Here's a sample attractive to me, even if for only 1 finger!

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

OMG, yes!    I would never even go on their website. 

This is not a good retailer for Americans to be using, for any reason. 

[Kachina624]

@Tinkrbl44.  I figure if you want to buy junk, it's safer to just go to your local dollar store.

@Kachina624 Your comment needs repeating.  I would never in this lifetime order from them!
