See some tempting deals on there but very hesitant to order from them. Anyone have first hand experience with Temu?

I haven't but my mom has. It's basically really cheap ish from <Trump voice> CHINA.

My mom sent my aunt and me a text in our group chat asking if we had any idea what this little plastic thing was. To me it kind of looked like a clipper guard for an electric razor but it wasn't. None of us could ever figure out what it was. When I asked mom where it came from she was like "well, I ordered a sweater from this Facebook ad from a company called Temu but that's not what I got." I burst out in laughter because of how shady of a reputation they have and was like mom, do not buy from places like these. It's shirty cheap bs.

My mom is 70. In lieu of the sweater she ordered, she received an apron with skulls all over it, that unidentified plastic object, and a few pieces of goth jewelry with skulls on it. She never got her sweater.

To be fair, I would totally wear an apron with skulls on it.

I've bought from them. Things can be hit or miss. For example, I bought a personalized hard case for my MacBook Pro for $12 that fits perfectly, but a $2.50 money clip with a weak magnet. Clothes typically run small, so get XXL if you're naturally an XL. I also got a portable ice maker that I love. Other than that is the wait time since a lot of stuff has to come over on a cargo plane/ship unless it says "local warehouse."

A lot of stuff is that same as the cheaper items you'll find on Amazon. In fact, with that portable ice maker, when I got the tracking number, it was an Amazon tracking number. Anything you see with a Local Warehouse label is coming from Amazon.

I order a lot from them, but mainly fishing stuff. I tie my own pompano rigs and I can get the floats and stuff on there real cheap.

I've also got some good fishing reels for cheap cheap. If I see something, I'll research it to see how it's reviewed on other sites. They have legit brands for fishing gear, so that's cool.

Yeah, my BFF does and she swears by it and I like cheap ish, too, but I can't get her to stop.

I may do a test order and see how it goes. I see some cool stuff on there from time to time.

Another one I see cool stuff from and I'm guessing it's pretty much the same as Temu is vevor. Tempted to order from them too.
