I had gotten costume jewelry from ali .
I guess low expectations, and fully satisfied so to speak.
given how [relatively] quickly their stuff arrives, it has to be coming from a US based warehouse, whereas ali express stuff takes a couple months to arrive and is shipped from china.

Default Reviews of Temu

Anyone bought from Temu and had any issues? The prices are crazy low as well as free shipping. The items we want are under $8 but they have a $10 minimum. No problem so an order of $10-$12 and if we don't get our items ordered or money back it's not a huge loss.

Anyone?

Crazy low prices, but what about quality?

Unknown until experienced.
They are trying to bring a Pinduoduo like experience to the USA and forgoing profits while trying.

https://en.pinduoduo.com/

I looked again way down the page and shipping cost is shown "after the order is paid for" which doesn't sound right and they always have a 10 (?) hour clock counting down to zero for free shipping. I've seen many good reviews and many not so good. Random potluck maybe.

Temu, LLC is an American-based online marketplace. It is a "cross-border e-commerce website with most products likely to come from overseas, especially China." It is a subsidiary of Chinese-based PDD Holdings Inc., which also owns Pinduoduo.

If you want to buy Chinese made goods from a Chinese company, have at it.

I consider it to be untrustworthy, caveat emptor.

I never bought anything from them. Also look here at the thread I already started on them:

Most likely cheap crap from China anything that sounds too good to be true probably is but I've read good reviews about it I probably won't use it.

It seems that this company is also starting to develop a reputation for undelivered packages, mysterious charges, incorrect orders, and unresponsive customer service. Temu has already been subject to more than 30 complaints to the Better Business Bureau, and has a BBB customer rating of less than 1.5 stars.(albeit from only 20 reviews)
Temu has acknowledged and responded to every complaint posted to the BBB website, though.

There have been no BBB complaints that allege the goods Temu ships are counterfeit or fake.

If more and more American consumers flock to Temu to buy cut-rate goods, that could pressure Amazon and other competitors to slash their prices too.

Good post. Chinese companies do not have to abide by US consumer proctection laws. Buyer beware!
