The big thing about TEMU is that western companies had made their products in China and added 90% and sold them in the west. The Chinese thought, if we sell them twice the price to customers directly instead of selling them to these companies we can make double the money. The problem is not the Chinese, the problem is the greedy western big companies who transferred the knowledge to Chinese companies instead of making the products in their home countries what would justify the high price!
But, here’s the thing, your not registering just as they were saying these products sold on TEMU comes Directly from the Manufacturer, their items are not that expensive, just as they were saying for that reason, Amazon is the one that sells their items for a higher price but, a lot of their items are reasonably priced! It’s best to listen and, pay attention to the information that’s being given to you! 8:52
Some of the products are identical to Amazon, just cheaper by cutting out the middle man, I’m sure Amazon isn’t ethical either, not a great comparison really
I buy very expensive and cheap stuff Amazon temu are ok for bits and bobs I work for MAX Mara so buy most of my clothes there.I do most of my shopping in Milan.
@@lornaneillcowper6496 so instead of supporting the high street and British businesses you would rather stomp a huge carbon footprint on the world by shopping for your needs abroad?
@@littlebobas9656 I work for Max Mara and travel and buy stuff from all over the world Amazon and Temu a re much the same everyone is free to do a s they wish.I love traveling abroad
I guess yes, that would be me i hang my head in shame....😂 I have no car. Havent flown in years.but buy from China 😱😱😱 if that means im single handedly destroying the planet.....
@@littlebobas9656Where do you think the British high street buys their products? And how do they get them to the store? I agree it is taking away British business and jobs but this is what is happening in a changing world. We are losing jobs daily to machines etc
I use TEMU a lot, and never had any issues. Any returns i get my money back as soon as i scan the return in the shop. Great value, and a lot are great quality
I also do not have problems with Temu BUT I AM GATVOL FOR THERE COURIERS. THEY MAKE MY DAYS HORRIBLE. I THINK THERE IS SOMEONE BEHIND IT WHO WANTS TO BOYCOTT TEMU. TEMU IS GRATE
@@chevvonnejohnson8367 Hi I haven’t had any irritation issues at all with any makeup or skin care.The snail mucin my favorite!My chest area so smooth not crepey and I am 65!I have bought tons of stuff, most selling on Amazon for much more.Also customer service perfect just like Amazon.
Sorry you haven’t convinced me as a pensioner still working because I can’t afford to retire, buying from Temu is cheap, good quality and I look forward to my one weekly item at the end🎉 of the week, I pay by PayPal also… lm not taking advice from Alice.
Well done you ....Same as ... I order every couple of weeks and the only time I was a little disappointed...Temu not only gave me my money back ....but let me keep the item to sell on ... Can't say fairer than that
@Aethelhadas I never took no "covid' shots and been absolutely fine ...and I certainly will not be stopping my purchases from Temu either .. We are always being told or sometimes forced into doing things we do not want to do .. It's my body and my life... I make my own decisions 🤷♀️
Basically they couldn't find anything bad to say about Temu. The only thing wrong was the clothes with the metals and that is the manufacturer's fault. I've used Temu multiple times and it's brilliant.
I worry about the permissions the app wants. As I think China technology attacks are v prevalent. Ccp are v controlling over the population. I see a problem waiting to happen
@@S7Vmv as politely as possible, but you must be living under a rock. Even the government admits that technology and what people can do with it now is the biggest threat.
@@Coco-ny5wh cyber crime is massive now. Big government investigation into Facebook with Mark z in uk for election Cambridge Co. Americans are still arguing about the fix in tech for their last election. Supermarkets do loss leaders, meaning they lose money selling items. So they get money other ways. Temu got everyone's bank details and emails plus a hugh amount of permissions on ur phone. Easy to put spyware on phones laptops. All that data is worth a fortune on the dark web. There was just a big Chinese spy scandal with members of Parliament in uk. C c p are communist, look at Hong Kong protesters. Look at how iPhone manufacturers in China are treated. First thing I did when Temu came out was check with a tech review site. Who alerted me to the hugh amounts of permissions temu wanted. No thanks I'll give them a pass.
Temu and SHEIN are where I purchase all my clothes. Wash prior to wearing! Save tons of money, not talking me out of it! Amazon sells the same items for WAY MORE!
The cheapest scarf I get from USA is minimum $10, last week I ordered 4 different scarfs from Temu in $10 altogether. And they are nice quality. Just as good as I buy locally from USA stores.
Temu is giving the working class an alternative of cheaper shopping. Their quality are not at all bad as China produces lots of such stuffs for their local market. We are lucky to gather access to it. I tried it and have no complains at all for the money I spent.
But, those same exact clothing items are sold on Amazon and, if you look on the TEMU site, they do sell clothing items that aren’t all polyester! I found this out by watching different RUclipsrs who do TEMU Hauls, they sell blue jeans, sweaters and, clothing items you would buy in department stores and, high end clothing stores! All you have to do is put in clothing in the search bar or put non- polyester in the search bar, it’s not that complicated! 8:52
@@xxGuItArGiRLxx89 Yes, the presenters had a narrative they wanted to present. Can they also run these so called tests on H&M and Zara etc. ? Due to the manufacturing process, there premay be hardly any product which is 100% toxin free. Traces will be present if we'll look for it.
I actually received my second order from Temu today and again I’m extremely pleased with the quality. I ordered teardrop peacock coloured flat back stones to up cycle my metal peacocks after painting them and they now look stunning. Also, two hand luggage bags and the quality is superb for a fraction of the price. People are saucing what they need from who ever is selling it at the cheapest price and who can blame them. Actually, there isn’t anything bad to say about the company. It almost felt like you struggled to find fault, certainly that you wouldn’t find at Amazon or eBay or most places probably 🤷🏻♀️
You know, if everything wasn't so ridiculously over priced, there wouldn't be such a demand for these apps. I've bought tones of clothing off Temu because it's about all I can afford now. I won't stop using it.
I have also purchased tons of stuff from Temu - kitchen items, clothing, even a pair of wire cutters and have been totally happy with everything. I remember once researching an item I saw in Liberty of London - ridiculous price and it was made in a sweat shop in India. So don't give me all this info about cheap labour because it is everywhere.
Well, I just have brought from TEMU once so far, but, even though TEMU sells some home health products/ items, they don’t necessarily sell home health products/ items that some people like me have to commonly need which people who are not disabled don’t get! However, I can buy those products on Amazon and, I will continue to buy from Amazon and Walmart as well!
It's brilliant to use fast reliable and yes it comes from China, but then England doesn't make anything these days and the firms like coopers cotton traders and M&S DMART ALL SELL STUFF FROM CHINA at high prices
Look at the car mana factors charge high prices on electric cars now China is going to sell in the UK they will have to drop the prices or lose out to China I lived in Hong Kong and been to China they are far advance to us and the cars are better then ours
I don’t care what anyone says the tshirts for women and men are the BEST and SOFTEST material I’ve ever owned. And I’ve owned a LOT of clothing. Now, that’s just tshirts. I haven’t been as happy with men’s pullover/button up shirts. I’ve also had good luck with kitchen and cleaning gadgets. I don’t buy toys or jewelry or purses or anything “nice” mainly just everyday tshirts.
Recently purchased some tops (adult/women's) for wearing around the home when doing maintenance (gardening, painting that sort of thing) and was somewhat surprised as to their quality for their price. BTW I am a hobby sewer and for example; what I would pay just alone for buttons I got an entire garment not to mention I don't think I could get as cheap even if purchased at a thrift store. Also as live in Canada, our prices are through-the-roof with outrageous taxes on everything. All said; they even laundered up well (haven't fallen apart) and delivery was hassle free. *Please note; I have absolutely NO affiliation with the company whatsoever and am not disputing that it carries items that are questionable.
As a fellow Canadian, I agree with you. Unfortunately, I can’t afford jeans and tops in stores anymore with their inflated prices so I shop exclusively online now. Usually, I try to support local business but I work hard for my money and can buy 2-3 jeans on Temu for the price of one pair in the store. Canadians can’t afford the prices we are paying in grocery stores, at the fuel pumps, for housing, etc so we need to save money where we can.
Do not listen to these people. I decided to test it for myself. My outfit was half the price of normal shop . Stunning color and quality and delivered within 10days. Temu/Buffalo keep you informed all through process of shipping etc. NO delivery or Postage fee. I know A NUMBER OF PEOPLE VERY HAPPY , THAT WITH COST OF LIVING WAY IT IS NOW AND AS A PENSIONER THIS IS GREAT FOR US.
I agree with you !! I bought a really nice summer dress that I’ve got so many compliments on !! I paid $15 for it !! The same dress on Amazon would have been triple the price!!
I’m a pensioner but I will never use this site. If I see some thing made in China I don’t buy it. Yes I pay a bit more for made in Canada or USA but I’m keeping someone in a job here not in China. I think people just buy to much stuff…
Both Temu and Shein have caused a storm with other websites as their sales are now down because of their prices. I love both these sites so as long as the prices stay low I’m in!
I totally agree with what you've saying. I got lost of experience clothes but know there nothing I like in uk at the moment shein ladies dresses and tops and high heel shoes are really lovely and wash really well. And i will continue to shop on there 💯🤣
shein has horrid ethics + toxic substances in their products. so does temu. we must care about this. our economical situation isnt a reason not to. we can save up and buy something that last for longer and made ethically.
The thing is with Temu it's clever they keep the prices lowish which makes you think you can purchase more and more . I went on it the other day just to search for three items that would've set me back fifteen...and I saw so many other things I loved and my bill soon changed to 111.00 So try to pull your self away after you get what you want only . You can always drop those wants in the baskets, to purchase at a later time but aim to only get a few things at a time to prevent you going to into debt.
SheIn is much better - same stuff as temu only cheaper and they offer additional discounts and you collect points for daily check-in on their app and get points for every purchase you make AND additional points for reviewing products you've bought !!!!!!! They just don't bombardise us with ads like temu does
We all have Temptations don't we but if you set yourself a spending limit which is hard I know but that's hardly team moves felt is it I mean if you can get free items for the price of one which often you can there who's going to say no to thatI suppose it's like gambling really we should we're gonna stop all gambling are we because there's a few people who can't cope with it or there's people who take drugs and tablets so let's medication you can't do that if you can't be sensible then you should ask somebody to ban you from it and to help you like seamu anonymous or something but really we should be but more worried about cigarettes and drink and drugs not a shopping thing which is making a lot of Rich touries very angry because they'll lose by it things associated if you don't like it you can either send them back or give them to the charity shop can't you and the charity shop will probably charge twice as much as them I was at a car boot the other week in this lady had some really lovely little girls clothes I looked at goodness there from temu ever said anything because obviously that's what you do when you're trying to you buy low and you sell higher she's sold them for seven ninety nine that the real price on team was about £3.50 I was sitting next to this girl and she bought three outfits for her little girl and she was very pleased said it at the price and I said to I have you ever been on teum she said no I said have you got a mobile phone now I'm not very good with phones because I'm old but she put it in and got it up and she said I can't believe that I really can't believe that she said she was said I'm I still don't mind the things I've bought because at least I can see what I'm getting but she said next time I'll buy from them to survive with all got to make the best decisions so why should we be worried about people who have got shops and all things like that if if you've if you've got the money brilliant but if you haven't well it's better than not having anything isn't it the rich old was fined away to bring down the pool if they want people to stop buying cheap things while paying more tax so people can get better benefits and and higher ranges and then they'll start buying things from shops again maybe on the other hand I know two people are very very wealthy and they buy everything from there it's called choice but this was deliberately set up to frighten people wasn't it
Yes exactly they have the "middle man" so stuff is more expensive. Absolutely no difference apart from that they offer the service from the UK/USA. They still import stuff from China.
@@dianeguy7452 funny, I know on my tracker it says it goes through customs, and I get packages that have been opened then taped shut again with excessive tape.... just like customs does. I doubt the end carriers - FedEx, UPS, or USPS are opening then retaping the package. I get smaller packages with just a couple of items without them being opened and reaped. Small/fewer items easily scan with gray. Larger numbers- 10+ are always opened and retaped.
I bought all my kitchen appliances on Temu..No clothes. ,or toys..Quality.Same as Amazon.But I believe,those ladies is campaigning for Amazon.I love temus Appliances
I think this was supposed to be a warning about Temu but it ended up being great advertising for them. The word cheap came up numerous times, they resolve issues presented to them, they take down suspected dangerous items, customer services are great, and the most important thing, their cheap.
Exactly I bought a garden hose didn’t fit my taps in Australia I asked for return. Instead I got a refund and keep the item. I learnt I can buy an adapter.. win, win. Their customer service is awesome.
I am a rubber stamp designer based here in the UK and TEMU are constantly ripping off stamp designs from myself and many other companies. We report these listings all the time and we have to jump through hoops just to get them taken down…and then 5mins later they are back up again under a different shop name! For someone who is paid by royalties this is simply money straight out of my pocket! And there’s nothing I can do to stop this!!! I wish someone could investigate this fraud side of TEMU and put an end to it!!
I'm a paper crafter and I use stamps and dies. If you didn't charge such ridiculous prices for EVERYTHING,then we wouldn't have to shop on Temu. I've been paper crafting for three years. The money I've spent so far could have been used to remodel my kitchen. I so wish I was exaggerating.
@@lenorepaduano5088 Committing theft/fraud is still a crime regardless of the price. None of this gives them the right to steal and sell other peoples design work. Yes they sell it cheap but they haven’t had a designer to pay for the artwork, a marketing team to promote the designs, nor quality materials used to make the product just to list a few out goings. TEMU is saturating the craft industry and if it carries on there will be no companies left to copy from.
@@stuartd9741 Well, it's either that, or the children live in the streets. The kids at least have a job to support themselves because clearly their parents can't do their job. So you're telling me you support homeless children.
I do resin art as a hobby, and Temu's silicone molds and resin is far, far cheaper than here in South Africa. I have also recieved every order in the time they saidcit would arrive. I, personally, will not be told by anybody where I should purchase goods from. My choice!
@@touchegoddess1961 China has basically no regulations when it comes to selling and chemicals. They spray toxic, cancer causing chemicals on everything.
I was wondering if this TV programme was on commission from Amazon, Shein and many other discount online companies as Temu is big competition. The reason why it is lower is because it works on a 'Just In Time' basis. You order what you want and Temu is the connection to buy direct from the manufacturer. Amazon buys the goods in bulk, in many cases from the same manufacturer and stores the goods in warehouses in each of the Countries where they are based. Amazon has overheads and charges more to the consumer. The delivery is longer, but if you really want something you'll wait. I've been buying since January, no problem with refunds or returns. I choose to buy and don't want to be told what I can and cannot buy. Stop scaremongering all the time. Do you know how many older people lived through much less Health & Safety measures and they are living longer. The amount of younger people with allergies today is unbelievable, due to being told what not to do and what is bad.
Ch*na uses cheap ch#/d labour swe*t shops to produce the products cheaply. Are you ok with this? .. Also ch*na devalues its currency to make its Labour artificially cheap... ... It's an artificial ecosystem that is not sustainable in the long term...
I been buying from Temu for a long while. I find them ok. Some things are not so good, but most things are ok. U get what u pay for. No problems with Temu. Fast delivery n service. The only negative is, they keep pushing u to buy. I don’t like that. So many text a day.
I love Temu! Purchased many times and happy with what I've received. I've only returned a few clothing items because of sizing. Returns are easy and free. Shipping to Australia doesn't take to long.
Most products are way over priced on Amazon, high street etc so TEMU a looks cheaper and the main stream sellers don’t like it. Things I’ve bought from TEMU have been generally very good and they refund fast anything that you are not happy with. Worse thing is not the fastest delivery.
I agree, the customer service is great. The in app chat service is very helpful. Maybe out of goodwill, sometimes they refund money for the products but tells us not to bother to return them :) .... In the event that we need to return them, there is a hub address in the UK so we don't have to send it back to China.
they now have a warehouse in the Uk my last irder only took 4 days to arrive .. before that it was 2/3 weeks you can track your order and temu dose keep you informed with notifications of where your goods are also if your goods are nit delivered by a certain time they give you tewards
i have 4 swim suits age appropriate skirted for 4 bucks each - beautiful - i have several cute summer dresses. some cute tennis skirts (have ordered one size up I am medium i ordered large) i have dozens of plastic flowers around my garden a bunch of 16 for 8 bucks. you cant beat it. i live in arizona and sometimes the stuff comes from California in about 5 days, never more than 10 days. i love everything i have gotten in the last 18 months from TEMU.
This is so wrong. The exact same items are sold on other well-known sites such as Amazon, from the same suppliers, just much cheaper. I, for one, will still be using Temu.
There are overlaps, but Amazon reviews are real and monitored. Because Amazon obviously has a big reputation to keep. Temu on the other hand , wouldn't care if the whole of UK get poisoned by it's products. I loved in China for 5 years , and none us HK people trust 1 % of what Chinese business people say. They are educated to lie since childhood. Don't forget they are the biggest exporter of fantenyl to the US. Any nativity towards this country will be heavily punished. Trust me.
This Morning ... not sponsored by Temu so they get the knives out. Glad they have enough money to shop on the high street because I dont .... I use Temu to buy kntting wool for my business and they have been great. As for being addicted I am not .. i go on, buy what I need, then once the order is done I log off. You only become addicted to something if you allow youself to !!.....long live Temu
I bought all my Christmas presents last year from Temu. I bought lots of beautiful silk scarfs. I saved myself a fortune. Temu is very good for returns too. They refund your money quickly. To me is win,win.👌
If you buy something and the price goes down within 30 days, you can easily claim the difference back and it becomes a credit on your account. Also no postage! Great for us living on the other side of the world. Win Win situation.
I’ve gotten some real bargains from Temu, especially their garden ornaments and kitchen items. Much cheaper than the same items from Amazon. As someone else has already commented, these ladies are probably sponsored by Amazon. Temu also have free delivery when your order is over £20. Couldn’t beat it with a big stick.🤣
I live in NZ and I no longer buy off Amazon, the postage is rediculous. I now buy off Lazada most of what I need during my long stays in Thailand and take home. Most delivery fee is 35baht, cash on delivery and delivered to the bungalow. Definitely a lot cheapet.
Yes, I was looking for kitchen organizing racks and makeup organizer units. I think they were less than 50% of the price posted on other websites. So I bought them from Temu.
@@shirleyweller9590 I'd rather not have any flowers at all than have plastic flowers in my garden. Nasty plastic that then finishes up in landfill instead of the compost heap. It's the same in the house. The least plastic possible. If I can't afford glass wood and other natural materials, I don't but it. Plastic is killing the planest and intoxicating our children.
I absolutely LOVE TEMU and their stuff is superb. I recommend them to everyone. I get craft supplies and clothing, and won't be stopping any time soon. Things in the UK are ridiculously priced, and I refuse to pay it - I can't pay it to be precise. So keep up the great work TEMU I love you. ❤❤❤❤
I've bought stuff off temu and will continue doing so ,the only reason they are coming up with this bs is because in this country we pay through the nose for everything and i refuse to buy anything off amazon
I use it for art supplies, soft furnishings, dog beds etc. Its fantastic. Im not expecting top notch. You get what you pay for. I always wash stuff once it arrives. But to date found it fine.
Frankly, none of this addressed my concerns about a free app from China that i've heard concerns about it being a front for data-mining. I'd be much more worried about that than any possible quality control issues.
Have you noticed the countries where M and S get many of their products. Bangladesh, China. Many factories in those and other countries. We're almost forced to not buy British. I'm not into Temu or Shein even though they have a UK clothing source. The companies are now worth billions.
What's it made of? Asbestos? Won't catch fire if it is. It's cheap for a reason. They will be making at least a 100% profit. Doubt any clothes company tells you what extra nasties go in.
For a long time I wanted to order a craft subscription box but, I couldn't find one I liked. I watched several subscription boxes being opened and couldn't find one I would spend $40.00 plus a month for a little bit of fabric, beads, paint, etc. When I found TEMU there was my subscription box that I could choose what I got in the box and at a price that didn't put a dent in my budget. As of yet I have no problem with who they are and what I get from them. I shop at the craft stores and I am happy with what I get but, here of late the craft stores don't have what I am looking for or you only get small packages that cost a lot. I am retired and craft all the time, TEMU fills the bill for what I need and at the price I want to pay. I am like a kid at Christmas when ever a TEMU package arrives. I also watch RUclips hauls for items I may have missed or didn't know I needed or wanted. I am a happy camper when it comes to TEMU.
Haha yes ... the quality is around the price point. Just as we cannot expect first class service if we pay budget airline prices, it is a similar concept really.
This is such nonsense. Do they want people to stop shopping altogether! It’s a popular site because it’s cheaper than British suppliers offer consumers in this current crisis. They are cheap and efficient. Many British products contain heavy metals too.
I have ordered about half a dozen times from Temu and customer service has been excellent. Have had refunds immediately, no problem at all returning anything, had a couple of refunds but not had to return the item. Cant fault them tbh. Loads of things are made in China, dont see the problem with that, if it's not China its Bangladesh or somewhere It can be produced cheap!
No, not remotely similar to Amazon, who deliver the next day - for free if you join Prime - and, if necessary, refund as soon as your return parcel arrives at a post office! Good luck with getting that service from a Chinese company.
@@fedup99 Lol Temu has 90 day free return policy . Just take it to the post office hassle free returns ! Yes this Chinese company is amazing with delivery and returns !
I am a regular Temu customer. Excellent prices on my crafting supplies, great prices on clothing that actually fits me and does not look like someone vomited on it. Household goids, electronics. Yep, I greatly enjoy the games and surprise discounts and prizes, as well as the great products I receive - especially with the 30 days of price adjustments for anything that drops in price during that 30 days. I feel I am getting quality well beyond what I spend. The few disappointments have been made whole quickly - quicker than Amazon.
@@Solitude11-11 but they don't do that if they did people had stopped buying it wouldn't they and go back to other things so what do you mean it's like saying well there's a tinabeth beans there there's the same as that and there's something for 14p or one for 40 well if they stop making the 14p ones you'd have to buy the 40 ones and that's what these people want you don't have to buy nobody forces RUclips do they if you're lucky enough to have money to buy from Harrods or somewhere like that go for it but don't stop other people have enjoyment by lying about things
This is because all the shops everywhere, in every European country is over priced and most shops and shopping malls are empty now. This is most likely why we are listening to this.
I agree with Caroline I bought a load of cheap Tops from Temu only x1 or x2 were too ‘cheap’ lookin’ that I just gave to a Charity Shop! I also bought some Sunglasses that are excellent quality, (I’m gonna put some vari-focal lenses in them) so v happy so far with their Services and Offers👍🏻
id like to think these people have our best interests in mind but they prob have amazon or ebay as a sponsor 🤣 ive had some stuff from temu and its been fine, just be sensible with what you order and don't expect a £4 GoPro or somet to be world class engineering.
Yh she doesn't tell us how much heavy metals there are in clothes from Amazon and other marketplaces so the numbers she mentions are really pointless unless we can get a comparison. For all we know all or most other places also have trace amounts of metals in their clothes too. Also they sell BB guns and slingshots 😮oh no! Bad bad Temu! LOL
I was Production Secretary at ITV for 6 years.Long ago ...im 66. Dont believe anything you see ...Sponsors ensure they big up certain companies and pulll down others. Its all bs. Dont be taken in. Dispatches used to be top notch programme, still could be i dont watch MM anymore and Channel 4 is woke heaven. I buy Temu. They could do tests on Amazon clothes etc why dont they. Theyre being paid big money to decry Chinese goods. Fact.
Isn’t it marvellous how wen a good thing happens everyone tries to pull it down. There maybe some things but they will always refund you and are user friendly
Nice try but it won’t stop me shopping there. Every manufacturers will have some fault if you look for it. Amazon and eBay have different sellers like Temu and I don’t suppose they monitor them for ethical supplying.
what do you mean nice try? what do you thinkt he ulterior motive is? are you happy to have kids in sweatshops working hard so you can buy a cheap product? grow up.
Did you also know that the people who work in these places deeply resent outside interference? For many it is this or die of starvation. It is horrible I know and the answer is to force the manufacturers to improve pay and conditions. Meanwhile how do we know with all the different sellers which are ethical and which are not? I am talking across the board here. Amazon sell many of the same products as Temu from the same manufacturers but sell for more money. With so many huge market places with so many suppliers across the board how are any of us to know? I don’t use Temu that often but I don’t see them as being any worse than other huge online market places. Please don’t sink to insults. I am a well travelled 78 year old with all the life experience that entails. I have visited these countries and well know the score. I also know that no huge seller is above undermining its competitors.
One of our interior designers here in Toronto did a review of TEMU's ethical implications last year and stated that TEMU ships 600,000 packages to North America EVERY DAY.....not only does that undermine our economy, but the environmental implications are huge.
I hope you're aware that Canada, just like the USA, doesn't have much of an industry anymore. Most of the stuff you buy from Temu has to be imported anyway, it's just shipped directly to the customer rather than to the 1st reseller, then the 2nd reseller, then the shop, then the customer. Clothing - you produce next to nothing, heavy industry - in Mexico at best, anything plastic - most of it comes from China anyway. As to undermining your economy - your government chose to abolish your industry and create a service-based economy built on words and papers. That's why you import all that stuff from China.
Temu, Amazon and SHEIN have the same products from the same manufacturers. The only difference is Temu is always cheaper. I have the app but I’m not addicted to it. I do love the savings.
I buy from Temu rather than Amazon. Amazon sellers offer exactly the same products which they've bought from Temu then hike the price to make their profit. I'm just cutting out the middle man.
Have used Temu for a year now love it make up brilliant face creams the best ever and costs a fraction and this is from a Chanel Dior and all high end products shopper
Why did they not mention that Temu is bypassing paying the creators and original companies not just the middle man like Amazon. Sara Davies is one that has been hit hard by this. They buy or copy the originals and sell at twice the oroduction cost because they aren't bothering to pay the creators if the original products either. That is the ethical problem!!😐 1:29
Have used the site a number of times for various items, all they are doing is flogging the stuff we buy from elsewhere, at an acceptable price. As for chemicals and the dangers they present…I repeat, it’s the stuff everyone else is selling but importantly at a much lower price. It’s called competition for goodness sake!
The BIGGEST problem with TEMU is that if you wished to purchase an item for $10.00 you just can't as they present you with a dialog screen almost requesting one to purchase upto and including $50.00. Why ? I don't really know. Why can't they include a postage for the one item and then proccess it. The $50.00 bit is a BIG RIP-OFF I feel.
When the elite start moaning about something, i start to listen. They're just worried we wont be spending more money. After watching this Im going to download the app!
My friend did all her Christmas shopping last year she got her 800 pound list for 280 pounds on temu and she was really really happy with it. I don't think affordable shopping for average people should be looked down on. Poor people and very poor people have the right to have nice things just like everyone else.
I was sceptical at first, but some of the things i have bought have been great and a fraction of the price on amazon. I am a full-time unpaid carer for someone with complex needs ,I purchased arts and craft materials, things for baking etc the low prices mean more enrichment activities . I haven't bought clothing, but i have replaced things around the home he has damaged, which makes it affordable when you are on a very tight income !! Replacement sofa covers that wash and dry in an hour are my best buy so far . Postage can take up to 10 days, so don't order in a hurry, and i ignore all the emails and junk offers that do constantly pop up. Just shop for what you need and ignore the gimmicks.
The big thing about TEMU is that western companies had made their products in China and added 90% and sold them in the west. The Chinese thought, if we sell them twice the price to customers directly instead of selling them to these companies we can make double the money. The problem is not the Chinese, the problem is the greedy western big companies who transferred the knowledge to Chinese companies instead of making the products in their home countries what would justify the high price!
Yes exactly you hit the nail on the head.
But, here’s the thing, your not registering just as they were saying these products sold on TEMU comes Directly from the Manufacturer, their items are not that expensive, just as they were saying for that reason, Amazon is the one that sells their items for a higher price but, a lot of their items are reasonably priced! It’s best to listen and, pay attention to the information that’s being given to you! 8:52
@@sonyafox3271 I'm not talking about Amazon but greedy companies as Nike, Apple etc.
You got baby. THAT’S the reason. Some of the TEMU stuff looks very good❤
AND THTS WHY GROCERY STORE PRICES HAVE NOT COME DOWN Cause THESE GREEDY COMPANIES WANT MORE N MORE $$$$$$
To be fair, I don't blame anyone for buying from Temu. People want affordable items.
I use them, had some right bargains. You still get tut like the other marketplaces, I just return if I don't like
i agree and you buy a lot of stuff made in China in America
The goods never arrives. I’ve fallen for it no less that 3 times now and it’s a con

True 👍
Some of the products are identical to Amazon, just cheaper by cutting out the middle man, I’m sure Amazon isn’t ethical either, not a great comparison really

This is because you do not know anything about quality.

Sorry you haven’t convinced me as a pensioner still working because I can’t afford to retire, buying from Temu is cheap, good quality and I look forward to my one weekly item at the end🎉 of the week, I pay by PayPal also… lm not taking advice from Alice.
Well done you ....Same as ...
I order every couple of weeks and the only time I was a little disappointed...Temu not only gave me my money back ....but let me keep the item to sell on ...
Can't say fairer than that
what about the toxins?
@Aethelhadas I never took no "covid' shots and been absolutely fine ...and I certainly will not be stopping my purchases from Temu either ..
We are always being told or sometimes forced into doing things we do not want to do ..
It's my body and my life...

Alot of this stuff is the same stuff you are buying on Amazon. If you are worried about Toxins, you better stop shopping online period.
Most of them are shipped from China and I can't abide supporting them over local businesses, sorry
Basically they couldn't find anything bad to say about Temu. The only thing wrong was the clothes with the metals and that is the manufacturer's fault. I've used Temu multiple times and it's brilliant.

Yup all are still made in China. The seller is the only thing changing.😅
High street shops are better regulated. And 80% of the products on Amazon are garbage too so that’s not a good comparison
Coming from rich people lol
Temu and SHEIN are where I purchase all my clothes. Wash prior to wearing! Save tons of money, not talking me out of it! Amazon sells the same items for WAY MORE!
Load of tat.and personel details sold on.i avoid like the plague.
The cheapest scarf I get from USA is minimum $10, last week I ordered 4 different scarfs from Temu in $10 altogether. And they are nice quality. Just as good as I buy locally from USA stores.

My thoughts exactly
Never take any notice of her.
Do as she says not as she does!
And yet she can't afford a decent hairdresser..?
Nice t'ts😂
Temu is giving the working class an alternative of cheaper shopping. Their quality are not at all bad as China produces lots of such stuffs for their local market. We are lucky to gather access to it. I tried it and have no complains at all for the money I spent.
Indeed!!! 💯
Their free delivery is also first class!
I agree with you - except the clothing. Unless you like polyester..😬
But, those same exact clothing items are sold on Amazon and, if you look on the TEMU site, they do sell clothing items that aren’t all polyester! I found this out by watching different RUclipsrs who do TEMU Hauls, they sell blue jeans, sweaters and, clothing items you would buy in department stores and, high end clothing stores! All you have to do is put in clothing in the search bar or put non- polyester in the search bar, it’s not that complicated! 8:52

Correcto. I mean ours, I think it's worse because ours also are in foods we consume and the government permits it...what's the difference?
All these products are mostly from China.
No problem so
I actually received my second order from Temu today and again I’m extremely pleased with the quality. I ordered teardrop peacock coloured flat back stones to up cycle my metal peacocks after painting them and they now look stunning. Also, two hand luggage bags and the quality is superb for a fraction of the price. People are saucing what they need from who ever is selling it at the cheapest price and who can blame them. Actually, there isn’t anything bad to say about the company. It almost felt like you struggled to find fault, certainly that you wouldn’t find at Amazon or eBay or most places probably 🤷🏻♀️
You know, if everything wasn't so ridiculously over priced, there wouldn't be such a demand for these apps.
I've bought tones of clothing off Temu because it's about all I can afford now.
I won't stop using it.
Me neither 👍

Sure you'll be safe just scaremongering
I love Temu and the quality on the clothing is excellent
@@rwilliams7306 it certainly is 👍
I have also purchased tons of stuff from Temu - kitchen items, clothing, even a pair of wire cutters and have been totally happy with everything. I remember once researching an item I saw in Liberty of London - ridiculous price and it was made in a sweat shop in India. So don't give me all this info about cheap labour because it is everywhere.
Well, I just have brought from TEMU once so far, but, even though TEMU sells some home health products/ items, they don’t necessarily sell home health products/ items that some people like me have to commonly need which people who are not disabled don’t get! However, I can buy those products on Amazon and, I will continue to buy from Amazon and Walmart as well!

I don’t care what anyone says the tshirts for women and men are the BEST and SOFTEST material I’ve ever owned. And I’ve owned a LOT of clothing. Now, that’s just tshirts. I haven’t been as happy with men’s pullover/button up shirts. I’ve also had good luck with kitchen and cleaning gadgets. I don’t buy toys or jewelry or purses or anything “nice” mainly just everyday tshirts.
Their earrings are OK . I have several pairs. Quality.
Recently purchased some tops (adult/women's) for wearing around the home when doing maintenance (gardening, painting that sort of thing) and was somewhat surprised as to their quality for their price. BTW I am a hobby sewer and for example; what I would pay just alone for buttons I got an entire garment not to mention I don't think I could get as cheap even if purchased at a thrift store. Also as live in Canada, our prices are through-the-roof with outrageous taxes on everything. All said; they even laundered up well (haven't fallen apart) and delivery was hassle free. *Please note; I have absolutely NO affiliation with the company whatsoever and am not disputing that it carries items that are questionable.
As a fellow Canadian, I agree with you. Unfortunately, I can’t afford jeans and tops in stores anymore with their inflated prices so I shop exclusively online now. Usually, I try to support local business but I work hard for my money and can buy 2-3 jeans on Temu for the price of one pair in the store. Canadians can’t afford the prices we are paying in grocery stores, at the fuel pumps, for housing, etc so we need to save money where we can.

Very true I've bought clothes as I can't afford to buy from shops and catalogues

Temu/Buffalo keep you informed all through process of shipping etc. NO delivery or Postage fee. I know A NUMBER OF PEOPLE VERY HAPPY , THAT WITH COST OF LIVING WAY IT IS NOW AND AS A PENSIONER THIS IS GREAT FOR US.
I agree with you !! I bought a really nice summer dress that I’ve got so many compliments on !! I paid $15 for it !! The same dress on Amazon would have been triple the price!!

I’m a pensioner but I will never use this site. If I see some thing made in China I don’t buy it. Yes I pay a bit more for made in Canada or USA
but I’m keeping someone in a job here not in China. I think people just buy to much stuff…
Such a non story, I buy from Temu, some good, some not so good, but what you expect for 99p.
Exactly
and you're giving them your data.
How do you think they produce or buy stuff that cheap ❓❓❓
What data? Everyone keeps screeching about this but what data? My address? My name? That’s it.
I agree... My thoughts exactly... Such a non story.
Both Temu and Shein have caused a storm with other websites as their sales are now down because of their prices. I love both these sites so as long as the prices stay low I’m in!
I totally agree with what you've saying. I got lost of experience clothes but know there nothing I like in uk at the moment shein ladies dresses and tops and high heel shoes are really lovely and wash really well. And i will continue to shop on there 💯🤣
shein has horrid ethics + toxic substances in their products. so does temu. we must care about this. our economical situation isnt a reason not to. we can save up and buy something that last for longer and made ethically.
In the shops in the uk look on the box, it will say made in China, etc, so the problem is not just on Temu!! 🤔🙄

I love shopping on TEMU ❤ even with shipping charges still cheap children can find dangerous weapons in the kitchen at home no need to blame TEMU
The thing is with Temu it's clever they keep the prices lowish which makes you think you can purchase more and more .
I went on it the other day just to search for three items that would've set me back fifteen...and I saw so many other things I loved and my bill soon changed to 111.00
So try to pull your self away after you get what you want only .
You can always drop those wants in the baskets, to purchase at a later time but aim to only get a few things at a time to prevent you going to into debt.
SheIn is much better - same stuff as temu only cheaper and they offer additional discounts and you collect points for daily check-in on their app and get points for every purchase you make AND additional points for reviewing products you've bought !!!!!!!
They just don't bombardise us with ads like temu does
Very good advice 👍
We all have Temptations don't we but if you set yourself a spending limit which is hard I know but that's hardly team moves felt is it I mean if you can get free items for the price of one which often you can there who's going to say no to thatI suppose it's like gambling really we should we're gonna stop all gambling are we because there's a few people who can't cope with it or there's people who take drugs and tablets so let's medication you can't do that if you can't be sensible then you should ask somebody to ban you from it and to help you like seamu anonymous or something but really we should be but more worried about cigarettes and drink and drugs not a shopping thing which is making a lot of Rich touries very angry because they'll lose by it things associated if you don't like it you can either send them back or give them to the charity shop can't you and the charity shop will probably charge twice as much as them I was at a car boot the other week in this lady had some really lovely little girls clothes I looked at goodness there from temu ever said anything because obviously that's what you do when you're trying to you buy low and you sell higher she's sold them for seven ninety nine that the real price on team was about £3.50 I was sitting next to this girl and she bought three outfits for her little girl and she was very pleased said it at the price and I said to I have you ever been on teum she said no I said have you got a mobile phone now I'm not very good with phones because I'm old but she put it in and got it up and she said I can't believe that I really can't believe that she said she was said I'm I still don't mind the things I've bought because at least I can see what I'm getting but she said next time I'll buy from them to survive with all got to make the best decisions so why should we be worried about people who have got shops and all things like that if if you've if you've got the money brilliant but if you haven't well it's better than not having anything isn't it the rich old was fined away to bring down the pool if they want people to stop buying cheap things while paying more tax so people can get better benefits and and higher ranges and then they'll start buying things from shops again maybe on the other hand I know two people are very very wealthy and they buy everything from there it's called choice but this was deliberately set up to frighten people wasn't it
Some people spent 111.00 for one shirt
When you buy from Temu all the packages go through customs and they open them. Amazon is just the same but more expensive.
Yes exactly they have the "middle man" so stuff is more expensive. Absolutely no difference apart from that they offer the service from the UK/USA. They still import stuff from China.
Nothing goes through customs that’s a fact check. I use Temu but I’m also aware
@@dianeguy7452 funny, I know on my tracker it says it goes through customs, and I get packages that have been opened then taped shut again with excessive tape.... just like customs does. I doubt the end carriers - FedEx, UPS, or USPS are opening then retaping the package. I get smaller packages with just a couple of items without them being opened and reaped. Small/fewer items easily scan with gray. Larger numbers- 10+ are always opened and retaped.

@@touchegoddess1961 China has basically no regulations when it comes to selling and chemicals. They spray toxic, cancer causing chemicals on everything.
I was wondering if this TV programme was on commission from Amazon, Shein and many other discount online companies as Temu is big competition. The reason why it is lower is because it works on a 'Just In Time' basis. You order what you want and Temu is the connection to buy direct from the manufacturer. Amazon buys the goods in bulk, in many cases from the same manufacturer and stores the goods in warehouses in each of the Countries where they are based. Amazon has overheads and charges more to the consumer. The delivery is longer, but if you really want something you'll wait. I've been buying since January, no problem with refunds or returns. I choose to buy and don't want to be told what I can and cannot buy. Stop scaremongering all the time. Do you know how many older people lived through much less Health & Safety measures and they are living longer.

I've turned off notifications and only go on the website when I want something 😊😊😊
I get zero marketing texts or emails. I wonder if you can tick a box somewhere on your account to stop those.
I love Temu! Purchased many times and happy with what I've received. I've only returned a few clothing items because of sizing. Returns are easy and free. Shipping to Australia doesn't take to long.
Most products are way over priced on Amazon, high street etc so TEMU a looks cheaper and the main stream sellers don’t like it. Things I’ve bought from TEMU have been generally very good and they refund fast anything that you are not happy with. Worse thing is not the fastest delivery.
I agree, the customer service is great. The in app chat service is very helpful. Maybe out of goodwill, sometimes they refund money for the products but tells us not to bother to return them :) .... In the event that we need to return them, there is a hub address in the UK so we don't have to send it back to China.
The products in Temu for the most part are cheap.
When they exceeded their delivery time, they give you $5 credit. Who else does that?
they now have a warehouse in the Uk my last irder only took 4 days to arrive .. before that it was 2/3 weeks you can track your order and temu dose keep you informed with notifications of where your goods are also if your goods are nit delivered by a certain time they give you tewards
And they do price adjustments if prices go down
i have 4 swim suits age appropriate skirted for 4 bucks each - beautiful - i have several cute summer dresses. some cute tennis skirts (have ordered one size up I am medium i ordered large) i have dozens of plastic flowers around my garden a bunch of 16 for 8 bucks. you cant beat it. i live in arizona and sometimes the stuff comes from California in about 5 days, never more than 10 days. i love everything i have gotten in the last 18 months from TEMU.
This is so wrong. The exact same items are sold on other well-known sites such as Amazon, from the same suppliers, just much cheaper. I, for one, will still be using Temu.

There are overlaps, but Amazon reviews are real and monitored. Because Amazon obviously has a big reputation to keep.

I recently ordered a clutch bag from temu, was qpprehensive but it arrived and is really lovely and so well made.
Also bought 2 bags so cheap but sooo beautiful ❤
The totes are really nice. I take instead of an expensive purse. Serves the same purpose.
If you buy something and the price goes down within 30 days, you can easily claim the difference back and it becomes a credit on your account. Also no postage! Great for us living on the other side of the world. Win Win situation.
I’ve gotten some real bargains from Temu, especially their garden ornaments and kitchen items. Much cheaper than the same items from Amazon. As someone else has already commented, these ladies are probably sponsored by Amazon. Temu also have free delivery when your order is over £20. Couldn’t beat it with a big stick.🤣
I live in NZ and I no longer buy off Amazon, the postage is rediculous. I now buy off Lazada most of what I need during my long stays in Thailand and take home. Most delivery fee is 35baht, cash on delivery and delivered to the bungalow. Definitely a lot cheapet.
Yes, I was looking for kitchen organizing racks and makeup organizer units. I think they were less than 50% of the price posted on other websites. So I bought them from Temu.

Have you noticed the countries where M and S get many of their products. Bangladesh, China. Many factories in those and other countries. We're almost forced to not buy British.
I'm not into Temu or Shein even though they have a UK clothing source.
The companies are now worth billions.
Watching in my temu pjs 😂
Me too
Me too
What's it made of? Asbestos? Won't catch fire if it is. It's cheap for a reason. They will be making at least a 100% profit. Doubt any clothes company tells you what extra nasties go in.
Me too 😂

For a long time I wanted to order a craft subscription box but, I couldn't find one I liked. I watched several subscription boxes being opened and couldn't find one I would spend $40.00 plus a month for a little bit of fabric, beads, paint, etc. When I found TEMU there was my subscription box that I could choose what I got in the box and at a price that didn't put a dent in my budget. As of yet I have no problem with who they are and what I get from them.
I shop at the craft stores and I am happy with what I get but, here of late the craft stores don't have what I am looking for or you only get small packages that cost a lot. I am retired and craft all the time, TEMU fills the bill for what I need and at the price I want to pay.
I am like a kid at Christmas when ever a TEMU package arrives. I also watch RUclips hauls for items I may have missed or didn't know I needed or wanted. I am a happy camper when it comes to TEMU.
"its just like Amazon" but dangerous because its so cheap lol.
Haha yes ... the quality is around the price point. Just as we cannot expect first class service if we pay budget airline prices, it is a similar concept really.
Surely all the stuff from Amazon comes from China too, and just as dodgy, in terms of chemicals. Just a higher price tag.
Haha well said Ruby
hehheh,they ain't serious🤣🤣
This is such nonsense. Do they want people to stop shopping altogether! It’s a popular site because it’s cheaper than British suppliers offer consumers in this current crisis. They are cheap and efficient.
Many British products contain heavy metals too.
So does the 'reporter's nose' 😂
I have ordered about half a dozen times from Temu and customer service has been excellent. Have had refunds immediately, no problem at all returning anything, had a couple of refunds but not had to return the item. Cant fault them tbh.
Loads of things are made in China, dont see the problem with that, if it's not China its Bangladesh or somewhere It can be produced cheap!
I have been happy with everything I got from TEMU two lovely dresses make up mirror slow delivery its very similar to Amazon
Me too! I notice the same items are sold on Amazon for more money…so obviously they are made by the same factories.
@@Tosca767 I have found the exact same gadgets of the same brand eg make up mirrors to be more expensive on amazon.
Me😊 too
No, not remotely similar to Amazon, who deliver the next day - for free if you join Prime - and, if necessary, refund as soon as your return parcel arrives at a post office! Good luck with getting that service from a Chinese company.
@@fedup99
Lol Temu has 90 day free return policy . Just take it to the post office hassle free returns ! Yes this Chinese company is amazing with delivery and returns !
I am a regular Temu customer. Excellent prices on my crafting supplies, great prices on clothing that actually fits me and does not look like someone vomited on it. Household goids, electronics. Yep, I greatly enjoy the games and surprise discounts and prizes, as well as the great products I receive - especially with the 30 days of price adjustments for anything that drops in price during that 30 days. I feel I am getting quality well beyond what I spend. The few disappointments have been made whole quickly - quicker than Amazon.
Temu is so famous. Just everywhere u read online it’s advertisement! China are smart.! They basically got their products around the globe
Really smart. Corner the market, put everyone else out of business then they can charge what they want…
@@Solitude11-11 but they don't do that if they did people had stopped buying it wouldn't they and go back to other things so what do you mean it's like saying well there's a tinabeth beans there there's the same as that and there's something for 14p or one for 40 well if they stop making the 14p ones you'd have to buy the 40 ones and that's what these people want you don't have to buy nobody forces RUclips do they if you're lucky enough to have money to buy from Harrods or somewhere like that go for it but don't stop other people have enjoyment by lying about things
This is because all the shops everywhere, in every European country is over priced and most shops and shopping malls are empty now. This is most likely why we are listening to this.
Temu is evil...& I absolutely LOVE it! 😊
The advertisement before your video was Temu lol
Did you check jackets on Amazon ?
Of course not, typical biased journalists and reporters
Exactly
I bought 4 car seats covers, 2 years ago and still look the same as it was. From other brands it could be rotten by now!
Amazon buy many of these items then pass them on to us at a huge mark up
It's all because Amazon has next day delivery that's why it's more expensive
Exactly
I agree with Caroline I bought a load of cheap Tops from Temu only x1 or x2 were too ‘cheap’ lookin’ that I just gave to a Charity Shop! I also bought some Sunglasses that are excellent quality, (I’m gonna put some vari-focal lenses in them) so v happy so far with their Services and Offers👍🏻
id like to think these people have our best interests in mind but they prob have amazon or ebay as a sponsor 🤣 ive had some stuff from temu and its been fine, just be sensible with what you order and don't expect a £4 GoPro or somet to be world class engineering.
I have already ordered 4 Items and had no issues so far 😊
Yh she doesn't tell us how much heavy metals there are in clothes from Amazon and other marketplaces so the numbers she mentions are really pointless unless we can get a comparison. For all we know all or most other places also have trace amounts of metals in their clothes too.
Also they sell BB guns and slingshots 😮oh no! Bad bad Temu! LOL
I was Production Secretary at ITV for 6 years.Long ago ...im 66. Dont believe anything you see ...Sponsors ensure they big up certain companies and pulll down others. Its all bs. Dont be taken in.
Dispatches used to be top notch programme, still could be i dont watch MM anymore and Channel 4 is woke heaven. I buy Temu. They could do tests on Amazon clothes etc why dont they. Theyre being paid big money to decry Chinese goods. Fact.
Thank goodness I found Temu, I love,love,love it, bought tons of stuff. And I will continue to use it.
My son had 2 delete temu from my tablet the things I got was good quality but I was spending 2 much it was beginning 2 b addictive
Totally understand just got my latest haul and if I'm honest my daughter so doesn't need any more clothes
Me too lol
I absolutely love Temu. I can't understand how it can be addictive unless you have an addictive personality!
Don’t like it? Don’t use it. Simple
Isn’t it marvellous how wen a good thing happens everyone tries to pull it down. There maybe some things but they will always refund you and are user friendly
I love Temu
Oh, I would watch out if I were you, I've heard Temu maybe a catfish. It seems many women love Temu.
"I love dating" 😂
@@vallivergano239 haha, yes, it says I love Temu, then underneath it is Translate to English and it changes to I love dating😃😃😃
I love Temu too....and i cant stand being told how i should spend my hard earned pittance by people who earn a fortune for doing sod all ...😂😂
You can’t blame Temu they are just the market place, you need to chase up the manufacturer & seller.
Or slap the parents who give their kids credit/debit cards?
Nice try but it won’t stop me shopping there. Every manufacturers will have some fault if you look for it. Amazon and eBay have different sellers like Temu and I don’t suppose they monitor them for ethical supplying.
what do you mean nice try? what do you thinkt he ulterior motive is? are you happy to have kids in sweatshops working hard so you can buy a cheap product? grow up.
@biegebythese6775
It's unbelievable the people in the comments are so naive.
Did you also know that the people who work in these places deeply resent outside interference? For many it is this or die of starvation. It is horrible I know and the answer is to force the manufacturers to improve pay and conditions. Meanwhile how do we know with all the different sellers which are ethical and which are not? I am talking across the board here. Amazon sell many of the same products as Temu from the same manufacturers but sell for more money. With so many huge market places with so many suppliers across the board how are any of us to know? I don’t use Temu that often but I don’t see them as being any worse than other huge online market places. Please don’t sink to insults. I am a well travelled 78 year old with all the life experience that entails. I have visited these countries and well know the score. I also know that no huge seller is above undermining its competitors.
One of our interior designers here in Toronto did a review of TEMU's ethical implications last year and stated that TEMU ships 600,000 packages to North America EVERY DAY.....not only does that undermine our economy, but the environmental implications are huge.
But it's the american people who are buying the items in this case, can't blend temu for peoples choices
It won't last long.
I hope you're aware that Canada, just like the USA, doesn't have much of an industry anymore. Most of the stuff you buy from Temu has to be imported anyway, it's just shipped directly to the customer rather than to the 1st reseller, then the 2nd reseller, then the shop, then the customer. Clothing - you produce next to nothing, heavy industry - in Mexico at best, anything plastic - most of it comes from China anyway.
As to undermining your economy - your government chose to abolish your industry and create a service-based economy built on words and papers. That's why you import all that stuff from China.
@@raynatumbeva780 well said. ask your governmrnt why can't you afford to live on 2.6$per hour salary just like the chinese workers
Temu are fine. Ive bought stuff and still will.
Temu, Amazon and SHEIN have the same products from the same manufacturers. The only difference is Temu is always cheaper. I have the app but I’m not addicted to it. I do love the savings.
Most of the things on Amazon and Ebay are just the same as Temu and are shipped from China. They've just cut out the middleman and do great prices.
I buy from Temu rather than Amazon. Amazon sellers offer exactly the same products which they've bought from Temu then hike the price to make their profit. I'm just cutting out the middle man.
There ads are non stop my daughter deleted for me but! They still keep coming😢
I’ve ordered from Temu a few times and have had no problems with them whatsoever.
Have used Temu for a year now love it make up brilliant face creams the best ever and costs a fraction and this is from a Chanel Dior and all high end products shopper
Why did they not mention that Temu is bypassing paying the creators and original companies not just the middle man like Amazon. Sara Davies is one that has been hit hard by this. They buy or copy the originals and sell at twice the oroduction cost because they aren't bothering to pay the creators if the original products either. That is the ethical problem!!😐 1:29
100% and it's happening to a lot of artists!
I love Temu. Have had very good experiences with them.
Have used the site a number of times for various items, all they are doing is flogging the stuff we buy from elsewhere, at an acceptable price. As for chemicals and the dangers they present…I repeat, it’s the stuff everyone else is selling but importantly at a much lower price. It’s called competition for goodness sake!
Its funny how they say "workers" Cmon we all know its child labour
*TEMU and AMAZON Products are the same... Why should TEMU be called out? 😂*
I've been shopping for about a year and is 90 % satisfied.
Buy and make your own decisions.
And they have dangerous products with chemicals that are not aloud here and ppl give that to their children or pets its crazy
The BIGGEST problem with TEMU is that if you wished to purchase an item for $10.00 you just can't as they present you with a dialog screen almost requesting one to purchase upto and including $50.00. Why ? I don't really know. Why can't they include a postage for the one item and then proccess it. The $50.00 bit is a BIG RIP-OFF I feel.
You won't stop me. I'm shopping like a millionaire 😂
😂😂 me too
The big companies don’t like the popular competition. What do they expect in this current economy?
When the elite start moaning about something, i start to listen.
They're just worried we wont be spending more money.
After watching this Im going to download the app!
👏👏👏👏
Never heard of Temu until this. The problems also will be like plastic food plates that have toxic chemicals in etc.
Sorry ladies, I found exactly the same product I could buy in my country for a fraction of the price at Temu, I just love Temu.
ive spent hundreds on temu and rarely disapointed i wont stop and always get refunded for any problems
My friend did all her Christmas shopping last year she got her 800 pound list for 280 pounds on temu and she was really really happy with it. I don't think affordable shopping for average people should be looked down on. Poor people and very poor people have the right to have nice things just like everyone else.
I always buy from Temu the UK is far to greedy always being ripped off here
I was sceptical at first, but some of the things i have bought have been great and a fraction of the price on amazon. I am a full-time unpaid carer for someone with complex needs ,I purchased arts and craft materials, things for baking etc the low prices mean more enrichment activities . I haven't bought clothing, but i have replaced things around the home he has damaged, which makes it affordable when you are on a very tight income !! Replacement sofa covers that wash and dry in an hour are my best buy so far . Postage can take up to 10 days, so don't order in a hurry, and i ignore all the emails and junk offers that do constantly pop up. Just shop for what you need and ignore the gimmicks.
Someone's always got something to say when it gets popular in this day in age we need some cheap things with the cost of living rising all the time
