A BETTER OPTION

I wouldn’t dare give Temu my business. I knew there had to be a catch when I started seeing all those low prices on the Facebook ads. I checked for myself. Yeah, it is Chinese owned.

NOT if their stuff was free. thanks but no. nope.

I would have to agree with labarge’s comment. I recognize it is difficult to buy all items made in the USA, however, when I am made aware of certain situations, I prefer not to give them my hard earn monies.

Temu is a Chinese company, so I won’t buy anything that contributes to the Chinese economy which is controlled by the communist Chinese government. They may ship products first to a staging address in the U.S. so it appears they are being delivered to the customer from the U.S., but it’s all coming from China. They also get breaks on shipping costs to the U.S., which is an unfair advantage not available to U.S. companies.

It’s your choice, but I prefer to pay more and buy from U.S. companies or U.S.-allied countries whenever possible. At the very least, know where and who you are buying from and understand where your money is going.

Thanks so much. Looks like I’ll have to give TEMU a try. I was hesitant at first, but now I will give them a try. If I’m satisfied overall, I may be doing less shopping at HSN.

Thanks – I forgot about Rakuten. Temu has great clothes (women). I have ordered coats, jackets, shoes, sox, toppers, blazers and sweaters. Everything has been great. Recently, I’m remodeling my home & I have ordered peel & stick faux brick wallpaper, peel & stick crown molding borders,, and other wallpaper. I have priced the EXACT same patterns at Lowe’s & they are 10 TIMES higher for each item I’ve bought. Also, returns are a breeze. I ordered 2 pair of shoes that were too small (I should have measured my feet in inches) and contacted them (not by phone) & they said “just keep them or donate them to a charity” . They credited me the entire price of both shoes as well as tax. Shipping free. Most of my Christmas presents was at temu. Just ordered 2 lampks yesterday. If you saw the crystal lamps that change color on HSM yesterday or day before, Temu had them for under $10 EACH.

Don’t forget to go through Rakuten when ordering from Temu or any other online site. Nice % of rebates back to you. My husband has been ordering things from Temu and has had good luck with them..
