Anybody bought from TEMU?

I keep getting adverts for this Chinese company, all prices are far too cheap to be a good buy - but has anyone bought from them?

there is a popular saying ‘if it seems too good to be true it probably is’.

My personal adaption of this is ‘if it seems too good to be true it is’.

I took a chance on a similar looking company a few years back and bought something for the garden…..I had a pair of fake Gucci sunglasses delivered.

If you choose to go ahead 100% use a credit card and you ‘should’ be covered.

Yes bought a phone/watch etc charger from them, no problem, Emma & Gracie use them a lot with no problem

I have brought quite a bit of stuff through them and to be honest? I have yet to have a problem, it has all been good value for money.

I brought an LED torch/flashlight last week, £1.79 and it is as good if not better than an equivalent one costing £10+

I brought some combat trousers for work. £6 and they fit well and are super comfy and seem to be wearing well.

I don't look at the reviews, I base it on do they have something I want, the price is cheap/reasonable and if its not bang up to the mark then its not exactly going to break the bank.

So far, no issues at all and I have brought quite a bit of stuff for the car as well such as scratch removers, steering wheel and gear lever covers (the originals are wearing and looking tired) and been delighted with all of it.

Delivery has also always been quicker than they state. Last delivery was supposed to arrive around the 20th of this month, all arrived last Thursday, 4 days after placing the order.

Just speaking as I have found so far.

I won't buy from them on principle, don't you ever consider how they can sell these items so cheaply, how are they treating their employees

I’ve had quite a bit from them and they have been pretty good so far. Delivery generally takes about a week

I’ll give them a go, but only if I can pay with PayPal as they always refund without issue. I’ll let you know how I get on.

I only ever use PayPal. Works fine..

Bought quite a bit from them with no problems. I use paypal too. Minkey. Have you thought that anything you buy from suppliers here that is made in China then the suppliers are making a big profit out of you. They are buying at Temu prices and adding a large profit for themselves which you are paying. Cost of living is much cheaper in China and they are glad to have your business.

I have bought quite a bit from them over the last year, everything from elecrical goods to kitchen scourers and its all been the same as you can buy from cheap uk stores or ebay but cheaper

The only thing i will say is if buying clothing the sizes are off sometimes but i bought 4 T-shirts and some trousers one shirt i would put at XLor even XXL instead of L but the others are fine, trousers were shorter than expected but at £1.49 who cares they made a decent set of shorts

I've seen a lot of bad reports about the way they operate

There is a lot of chatter about them
What Temu is doing is trying yo take Amazon on
Apparently they sell almost everything at a loss and intend doing so until they are market leaders
Who ever is backing them fas earmarked a slush fund north of $800m and they are about half way through it
Who ever is doing the backing ( if it is all true ) is, in my opinion, throwing money away
One of the thing that has made Amazon is their ability to get stuff to you next day.. people, including my self, want that
Temu are never going to be able to offer such a service

I do know a LOT of folk who have bought from the platform
Yes there are items that are real tat, but most seems ok
And they do offer an excellent money back guarantee which works very well indeed

I’ve ordered a couple of consumables type stuff that seem very cheap, just over a tenner. If they’re good - great! If they’re not, well I won’t be too surprised. Worth a punt.

I have bought a few things off them including led lights for the garage a battery trickle charger and they are good quality and their service is very good.

I've just ordered a couple of pairs of cargo pants for walking the pups in and a new back pack for when I get a call-out. I guess I'll soon find out if they're any good or not.

Apparently my stuff is now ‘shipped’ and should be with me inside 10 days.
