    Default Temu: what is this site?

    Been getting a ton of ads for Temu?
    Seems like an Asian order site like Aliexpress but lesser quality?

    Discuss.

    Has anyone ordered? Who owns them?
    PenIsMighty probably has been checking all the ads out months ago. Seems to be on the cutting edge of crappy company ads.

    If your main gripes about Amazon were the high quality and clear item descriptions, this looks like a great option for you!

    Is this the one where the YouTube ad has some crazy Asian lady who is furious that they're not selling more even though they have srashed the prices so row?

    I couldn't figure out what that was within the 7 seconds before I could skip the ad.

    Aliexpress biggest competitor in China right now trying to make a big push for their stuff in North America. Only advantage they have is they ship very fast and use CanadaPost as the finishing courier. So much quicker delivery than Aliexpress

    I've seen a few friends get some items, like a $9 expresso maker but had to pay $50+ in duties/brokerage upon pick up so buyer beware on stuff.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Advantage and Canada Post isn't something I'd ever use in a sentence.

    If I decide to try it out, I will use the web interface and not install the app. Partly because my phone is tiny and my eyesight sucks, party because I'm over Chinese spyware apps.

    The fact that there is so much talk about banning Tik-Tok and now this app gets very popular is not a coincidence.

    I've begun to get hammered with Temu ads again.
    Backed of to non existent then all of a sudden, everywhere again.

    Ive used it a few times as a trial. The quality of the counterfeit stuff is good. Like really good. My kid got a pair of $9 pit vipers and I honestly can’t tell the difference beside real ones.

    It’s obviously cheaper Chinese sweat shop stuff but if you expect that, it’s not bad at all. Would I buy anything of importance off of it? No. But novelty items and cheap junk, sure.

    Basically but with the order arriving in 7-10 days vs 7-10 months.
