Title: TEMU Company On-Line
Post by: Greg Massey on July 06, 2023, 09:43:02 AM
Have any of you heard about this site and bought products from them? They have hunting/ fishing stuff and lots of other products at discounted prices.

I've heard of it and my wife bought some sort of yoga pants and stuff, but you have to be careful with the sizing. They are apparently china sizes and you have to size way up or something. I haven't tried anything from them.

Temu advertises on one of the sites I visit on a regular basis. I have not bought anything but my daughter has and she has said nothing negative regarding those orders. She has only purchased non clothing items so can not comment on the sizing that Big Jeremy mentioned.

I have a friend that has bought some stuff from them and says they were good quality. (Sneakers, shirts and that kind of stuff) I do know they are very aggressive with their advertising, I signed up for it thinking I would get some stuff and now I get emails several times a week from them.

Unless you want to support the Chinese government directly, I would recommend not to use it at all.  Their hackers also use it as a means to gather personal information for later use against the buyers.

You pay for your stuff via Paypal and they have nothing on you.. just your address.  They are legit.. nearly everything you buy on Amazon and Walmart is also coming from the same China, they just have it cheaper....a lot cheaper on some things.   It's great for tools, and just general odds and ends.

Quick summary of why I am not a user or supporter of Temu, but to each their own. There are risks in everything we do online now.

Look i know it's mostly China made stuff, and i think most understand that ... but it's the same with Harbor Fright and that place has people buying and coming and going all day long ... It's just a part of life, do i like it ... NO....  but again it's what it is ...

My wife has bought stuff from them. She goes directly to their website and doesn't use their app. She has bought clothes for the grandkids for half the price(or less) than she sees in Walmart, Target, Old Navy, etc.  Occasionally the size has been off, but for the most part it's correct. Shoe sizing has been the biggest issue. Personally, I think sizing can be an issue when buying clothes/shoes online from any company. As far as quality goes, the clothes she has bought have been just as good as if not better than what she has bought in Walmart.

I'm not promoting/bashing them, just sharing our experience.
