I have spent WAY too much money with Temu and I have been disappointed in very, very little. They carry items I have bought from Amazon for considerably more money. They do ship quickly and give you $5 if you don't receive it in a timely manner. At least so far, I am very, very happy with them.
Wow, so you're OK with importing things that haven't been subject to the same safety inspections that normal retailers are subject to. You're OK handling lead and cadmium. When you buy from normal retailers, those retailers are required by law in many countries to eliminate slave labor from their supply chains. But Temu doesn't have to do that. The products on Temu wouldn't pass muster with regular companies which is why they're there. So this means you are OK with slave labor. I hope you sleep at night knowing your goal of saving a little money means literal exploitation.
@@TN-rf7nt stfu Karen or Kevin maybe some of us don't know that information , obviously we just aren't as bored as you to research EVERY DETAILED THING , no, I don't promote slave labor ( as I believe the author's doesn't either again we aren't as bored to spend our lives vigorously researching a company) I want you to prove with a credible source where you found this, education for children is vital part of other countries such as China, Philippines, Japan etc.. , some poorer families may have their kids work , to help survive , and that shouldn't be, but who are you to dictate someone's daily life, you don't know what struggles happen, I don't preferably like BIGO , OR OTHER VIDEO SHARING DATING SITES, they have lines of girls in a wearhouse in front of a camera while they exploit men from our country to send them tons of money, hmmmm yeah again don't down the original author as I'm very sure they don't know what your claiming is happening , with our eyes closed yes that's how we sleep at night. BULLY
@@TN-rf7nt the products are the SAME products as what is sold here. I’ve seen insane markups on items on Amazon, at Target, at Walmart, on Etsy, at JoAnn or Michael’s, and even at boutique retailers and craft fairs in my city. They are all selling exactly the same products. Exactly.
Those bulb safety pins are stitch markers for knitting and crochet. The circle bottom fits around most knitting needles. That is a great deal for stitch markers.❤
We love Temu and order way too much. We had to limit ourselves because we found we were spending too much on our hobbies. Quality has always been =rally good. We're very happy with Temu ❤
My experience with Temu has been “ you get what you pay for”. So if you don’t pay a lot, then you can’t expect a lot . My first experience wasn’t so good. I waited 6 months then gave them another chance.. my second experience was slightly better but like I said, you get what you pay for
Hi, I just wanted to say keep trying with small orders, maybe. I am 76 and wishvI had had Temu all my life - I could have saved thousands and I feel the quality os very good (better than the 99c store).
@@juliejohnson497 as I stated before, just don’t expect the quality you could get from other sites/stores. I’m satisfied with my second order for the price I paid. The first order was a disappointment. Have a blessed day!🥰💕
I price check items vs Amazon example massager $4.48 TEMU was $50 on Amazon for exact item... mini blender also cheaper on TEMU, same w knee braces.... I've saved even on baby outfits $18 on Amazon vs $5 on TEMU and the quality has not disappointed- love kitchen gadgets and TEMU has things you'd never think of that w my arthritis has made my life so much easier.... I fell hard down this rabbit hole
The more we purchase from these companies because we need to pay next to nothing for our junk, the more the people who make this,junk will be treated HORRIBLY. I know that doesn’t matter when you’re getting you’re cheap junk and it’s Asians, it’s no big deal, right?
I have ordered over a hundred items from TEMU since New Year Day. Overall I have been pleased. There have been maybe ten items I regret but for the price it's still not bad. Plus I tend to buy multiples. The pet supplies surpass similar ones from the pet supply store. Art supplies color inks for adult coloring go faster than similar supplies from craft shops. But maybe because I really use brown, greens & red more than other colors. Big eye needles in the tube & open thimbles are great like she said. Overall the items arrived in two weeks. Definitely preferable to WISH.
I have ordered from temu twice now both times everything I got was exactly like pictured on the website and I have been very pleased with everyone of my products and especially the price
I have placed several orders with Temu. Delivery took not quite two weeks. The very few items that I was less than happy with initially, were exactly as advertised. If I had read the detailed description and/or looked at all of the pictures I would have known what to expect. There is usually a picture that shows dimensions. Pay attention to size charts. They run smaller than sizes here. I’ve been a happy shopper. And the prices are crazy affordable. :~)
4/4/23- Endlessly buffering at 4:41 or so, the craft paper/cloth, whatever it is, after the wooden discs. IDK what's going on, but so far have to say good quality video, nice production value, good sound...all that good stuff. Just wish I could see the rest of the video....
I have ordered a batch of things from Temu twice. Surprised how the items are just tossed in a bag together and mailed. So naturally some items gets bent or broken. But Temu will refund the broken items.
I always keep a measuring tape handy when ordering fromTemu. They make pictures of several items and the pictures look blown up, when you get your measuring tape and check out the measurements on the item, you're like, "oh" . Maybe not! 😁 This will definitely keep you from disappointments down the road!
@@juliejohnson497 if you scroll through the images on certain items, like food molds, you'll find measurements. That measurement tape comes in handy then! I came scrolling to find this comment actually.
I have not ordered anything from Temu because I try to not support “Made in China” businesses and products. They have been very successful in blanketing social media with advertising. I’m glad that everyone feels that they’re getting a good deal.
if i could get the products made in America this cheap i definitely would, but nowadays its getti m g harder and harder to make it so when i can get good deals you hetter believe im going to.....no matter where its made!!
I do the same. I try not to buy anything that’s made in China. Some things I have no choice but when I do I will pay more not to give a penny ti China.
I am also curious about where you shop... also I hope you don't have a cell phone because your phone was most likely made, at least in part, in China. Also, what are you typing this on and how are you watching this video? Most computers are also made, at least in part, in China. Even a lot of the processed food we eat and medicine we take in the USA come from China (or at least a few of the ingredients come from China). The only difference with Temu is you are not giving the companies making a profit on the Chinese products more money. Do some research into where the products you buy / own come from!
I love Temu! I have placed an embarrassing amount of orders. I just started dabbling in resin, and I have got tools and silicone molds galore. All fantastic. Temu is a very dangerous rabbit hole! I could buy myself into the poor house quickly.
LOL! Very understandable. I'm so glad you mentioned resin tools and molds, etc. I've been dying to try resin.... dabble a little because it looks like fun. And, I have to agree with you about getting carried away with (addicted to) buying from Temu as it is extremely inexpensive. tfs
I believe I’ve placed an order every day since I found the site. That’s only been a week or so. But if the number of orders I place is low (it’s not) then the number of items I purchase each time makes up for it. I’ve only received my first shipment so far, and I’ve been pleased with everything. You are totally correct about the danger! I usually add everything I like to my cart, then go away and chill for a while. Later, hopefully, my clearer head will prevail, and I will delete a few things. They try to talk me out of it. When I say to continue checkout, I enter another danger zone. They bring up pages of stuff I may have “forgotten” to order. They got me figured out right away. Somehow they know what I like and didn’t see. 😂 I just have to stay strong. This is so much fun!
I haven't gotten my craft supplies yet, but what I can/will say is that THEY HAVE BELIEVABLE SIZES FOR CLOTHING! I'm an extra fluffy human, and I was able to purchase and wear several items.
@@margotsanderford7050 I mean, I'm a 2x here in the states, and a 5x on TEMU, but the fact that I can wear this (and it's not something that says it's plus sized but will only fit my thigh) is a minor miracle and I love it. And I did get my crafty stuffs in. Started with a jewelry making kit. It's exactly as ordered. Not the best, but still decent quality. I've already used it to create a cross body strap for my phone, and it's good.
My daughter told me about TEMU about 4 weeks ago so I downloaded the app scrolled twice and found a pair of moissanite earrings exactly like a pair I’d been thinking about buying from Ebay for $100. TEMU had the exact pair for $20. I’m so happy. 😊
Lol i junk journal and TEMU is my go to place for ordering for it…I love it and try doing it once a month and I love it because I never have to wait for multiple packages and it gives you measurements of the package
Wow thanks for your comment, I haven't ordered anything as of yet but after this video + all these great comments, I definitely will be ordering soon!! ❤
I agree there are so many bargains! I've ordered so many different items with no problems. Their jewelery is a great value and you can't beat the prices on sewing and craft items IMHO
Like another commenter posted, a measuring tape is handy to have while shopping. If you scroll through an item's images, you'll find its measurements sometimes and that tape will give you a good idea of its size before ordering.
Thanks, the clothing sizes confuse me. They say a size 16 is an XXL, when here, XXL would be a 22. I'm not sure whether to go with the number, or the letter. I'm trying a blouse this last order, and I went up two sizes, just to be sure. I can give it away if it doesn't work.
I've gotten both clothes and shoes. I've found most tops and pants run true to size. I wear an 18 US, and Temu calls that 3x. I've found that if the item is more close fitting or has fitted arms to go up a size, because I'm busty and have heavy arms. But most stuff fits fine at the normal size. I do pay attention to the measurements, because they are not always consistent from one shop to another. As to shoes, the sizes are all over. Measure your foot length in centimeters and go by that. They always give the centimeters in addition to the size. Quality wise, I'm very happy for the prices! I order most of my clothes from Blair when they have sales, but a lot of their stuff is not my style. Temu has wonderful boho stuff!
I just brought my Temu haul in from the mail. I filled my granddaughters Christmas stockings with Temu and now have lots of fun little things for all of their Easter baskets.
I just found it 2 weeks ago and it is like a serious addiction now. Not disappointed in any of the 50 items I got so far, and many of the prices are unbelievably low - some 10% of what I have paid retail for the exact items. I wish they would put a ruler next to many of the pix.
If you don’t mind buying products that can be produced cheaply due to the forced labor of concentration camp detainees (mainly China’s Uyghur minority ethnic group, whose people are forcibly transported to work in the factories in Shenzhen, China), there is no problem.
This was great - I love the fact that you don't try to create a gotcha moment or unnecessary drama. I've just started ordering from Temu and so far have been really pleased. I ordered a plastic snake for under a buck that literally pulled up so much disgusting junk in my drains. Did every drain in my house, the stick is a little worn but still good to be used again, and I saved myself hundreds in having a pro come snake them for me. Loved this because I was leery of the crafting items and your post really helped me see that the items are mostly quality and useable. I will say to anyone thinking about ordering from Temu, the only thing to be wary of is some brands - for instance, they advertise "Squishmallow" but the stuffies are definitely knock-offs and not nearly the same quality or that unique squishmallow stuffing that is perfect for many autistic people. Other than that, and the sizing being Chinese and so kind of hit and miss for US (esp plus size), I've enjoyed shopping there. Two problems I've found as other comments have mentioned: Some stuff is priced so low that you order it even if you REALLY don't need it. I have so many cool pieces of costume jewelry...and I don't wear jewelry. LOL. I'll give them to my kids who have the same taste (goth meets hello kitty meets wicca), but seriously, should not be buying that stuff! And number two, if something doesn't work out, when you go to return, if you used a coupon, it's just so little money you'll get back for the time it takes to do the return, you end up just keeping the item a lot of times. As much as my local Buy Nothing group will love the things I got that don't fit, it's still wasted money. Admittedly, both of these are ME problems and not Temu's but I'm just warning you in advance to be prepared to say, "oh yeah, that commenter was SO right, I do that too" ;-). As long as you accept this as "entertainment" fees for an enjoyable shopping experience...you're still probably coming out way ahead of what you'd have paid at a Brick and Mortar, or even on Amazon. For anyone used to Amazon's prime shipping, though, the wait between ordering and getting is SUPER LONG. Not gonna lie, we're spoiled rotten, but if you need something quickly, Amazon or a local store is the best option. Just saying.
Great review and I am exactly the same with the jewellery and it is very much costume jewellery and not made for continuous use. It will turn your skin green/black. I enjoy most of what I bought. The clothes and shoes fit nicely.
It may not matter to some people and I am not judging but, many of the products that come from Temu, Ali Express and Wish are knock offs. They violate patents and licenses almost as fast as designers release their products that they have spent a lot of time and effort making!
We order almost weekly. The craft products have been great. Clothing has been quality and true to size. Any errors have been because we didn’t read descriptions closely enough. Hubby ordered a pocketknife which turned out to be about 1” long, but perfect for my keychain and when we reread order the size was listed. Yes, some of the quality is slightly less than Amazon, but we’ve been quite pleased. Got $5 credit on late ahipping and get gifts of 4¢-6¢ every week
gypped cheat or swindle (someone). "that's salesmanship, you have to gyp people into buying stuff they don't like". From the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. I do believe that is exactly the context in which she meant it. I don't understand why you are upset, I can't see how it was offensive to feel she might be getting "gyped" by Temu. Too many people look for things to be offended by. If you use a foul word to describe a person, then I could understand being offended, especially if you are that person.
I really don't think this was a derogatory word aimed at you. In all seriousness, do you really think this was meant that way. Just enjoy life, and this video, life is too short to live this way. ❤️
@@bonnietorix5818 it is referring to Gypsies, or Rom people. There is a very real possibility she didn’t know this, as a matter of fact, I bet she didn’t know the root of this word. The poster is helping people be aware. This group is one of the most maligned ethnic groups in history, so let’s just have this be a teaching moment. Thank you.
Instead of saying wow that's cheap ask why it's so cheap. China is known for slave labor and inhumane working conditions. Yes the stuff is cheap because the people who are forced to make these trinkets are paid little to no money. Do you think that the things you buy from them have been ethically made, did they pay their workers , did they clean up any environmental damages they caused. The answer is likely no. You get what you pay for. Cheap might be nice but when do we draw the line, at what point do we stop and ask, if it's that cheap how do they continue to stay in business. Everything has a cost, how much is up to you.
Thanks for doing this video. It seemed like they appeared out of nowhere and were everywhere, so I was a little suspicious. Now that I've seen your video and read the comments, I feel OK giving them a try.
Are you all crazy. . .this is the CCP, the inhumane, evil communist party that hates America & Americans. Why would you allow them to track you and add your data to their data bases? Why would give money to one of the most dangerous regimes in the world? Think forced organ donations. ...they have imprisoned many in reunification camps. . .they are one of the sources of the poison drugs coming from the Mexican border. Please wise up & cease supporting China.
I’ve ordered twice from Temu. There have only been a few items that were disappointing quality. There have been many items that exceeded my expectations. I think that it’s definitely worth the risk of a few lesser quality items, given the low prices!
Which is funny cuz i’ve ordered thru Wish several times & only been disappointed by the immense wait time. So if Temu is so significantly better?.. Guess i’m gonna give them a shot!
I ordered a strong grip mat from Temu and at first glance it looks the same as the Cricut brand. The first time I used painters tape to hold down faux leather, the tape pulled off the sticky from the mat and after only a few cuts it started to cut through the mat. I won’t be ordering mats again but I have had great success with several other crafting supplies!
Dollar Tree now sells the same exact silicone vinyl Waste Collector for $1.25. I just saw them when I was shopping this evening. They felt very sturdy.
Don't intend to order from them. My choice not to buy Made in China products any more than I absolutely have to. People need to wake up and buy Made in America. I'd love to know how much TEMU "gifts" to all these "influencers" to plaster this crap all over their channels. I'd guess $50. JS
I have ordered from Temu several times and have been very pleased with my purchases. The only thing I don’t like about some things listed is that there’s no measurements. I try and stay away from those items. Great video and I would love to see how the Cricut blades do especially.
Please stop using the word "g*ped." It's actually a racial slur referring to Romany people. People used to call them "g*psies" and the stereotype of them is the basis of that word.
Any way for you to check toxicity of items? I am curious to know if anything has toxic materials in them that we need to be concerned about, as some stamps I purchased from wish smelled highly toxic. Even years later!
Send them to a lab to be tested, use one of the lead test pens. Otherwise, nothing from there will be organic. Just like anything, purchase at your own risk.
I have ordered many different items from Temu, and I have no complaints on anything I have ordered. I have ordered a variety of different items. They are better than Wish, and every order comes in a week no later. Love the free shipping also.
You're right to wonder. Plastics, rubber, and ceramics manufactured in China should always be tested for lead. The tests aren't cheap, so I just avoid those products. What's helpful is if you're buying those products here in the states from craft stores (good examples are JoAnn and Michael's,) they'll often have a warning on the package saying it's for decorative purposes only and/or that it's not suitable for children under 14. Outside of California, which has strong laws about toxicity in consumer products, this warning is a clue that the item likely contains lead. Your county health department should have an environmental health department, and they may be able to answer questions about your concerns.
I am a customer of Temu, I ordered about $50 worth of clothing, 2 bucket hats, one says New York & the other is moon & star symbol, great quality, 2 pull over hoodies say PINK now this is what I didn't expect ones black & the other one like off white, the hoodies are 100 % polyester, no cotton involved at all it's soft but cheaply made, warm so I'll wear them, I'm actually ordering the rest of my order right now, keep you updated!
I have ordered a ton. Not just craft stuff, but clothes, shoes, earrings, sunglasses, tools, etc. The only time I’ve been surprised (not disappointed) was when I didn’t read the description. That’s my fault entirely! My kids and husband love it too because they get surprise gifts every time I order!
I love everything that I've ordered from TEMU. I order craft supplies as well as other household things and haven't been disappointed. I bought a new car recently and wanted to 'bling' it up some, so I ordered many cute things from TEMU and all have been really good items. My pets also love TEMU. I don't think you will be sorry you ordered.
I have heard so many things about Teemu and most of the things I heard were great and shipping so quick! I actually never thought about looking through the site for crafting items and I'm a Crafter! Imagine that! Later this evening or tomorrow I am going to definitely go on to Temu to see if I can find some crafting supplies that thus far have been out of my budget range! Thank you for posting honey. Blessings from Gramma Gia in the Ozarks!
I've ordered a lot of stuff from TEMU. Some jewelry, signage, sewing scissors, etc. The prices were great, the quality for what I paid for was very good and the free shipping just seals the deal. Fun stuff you got and I'll look into some of it. You've earned a subscriber as I have never seen your channel before and love crafting! 💚
I've ordered a few times from Temu and haven't been disappointed. I've purchased fabric, resin supplies, kitchen items, sewing items (the same needles you purchased) and more. So far no surprises and everything is still in good shape-no breaks during use.
I have placed several orders from Temu, everything from needle threaders, sewing shears which are very sharp, to embroidery scissors which work amazing thank you cards and stickers ( beware of sticker sizes they are a lot smaller than they appear. I can't complain about anything I've gotten. The cutting mats for cricut is a little more plastic though, overall I am a return customer.
PLEASE do a follow-up video, I really want to see all these items in action and get your thoughts after using them. Also, what was the name of that felt you said you usually use? Thanks!
The main reason I don't use Temu is because I would be supporting China vs American made products. Yes, I use Amazon. But I also research every company. If it's somewhere other than the USA I don't buy it.
Lots of things made in the USA are made with parts from China. A lot of US brands are made in China. A lot of American manufacturers have moved their production to China and still brand them as American made. I look at it this way.... people and families in China have to eat and pay bills too. We are all humans. In today's crashing economy, if I can get the same thing from China at more than half the price of something comparable here in the US, then I will always choose the cheaper price. Budget 101.
I was actually very surprised with Temu! I make jewelry and craft so my first order was a small order of semi precious stone beads and some glass beads. I was very happy with the quality and price! I've already placed several more orders because the prices just can't be beat! I'd love to see a follow-up video using the blades and máts for the cricut!! Have a blessed day! 💕
The only thing I don’t like about Temu is their packing. The prices are great so you can sample glitters, fillers, foils, etc. if you place a large order they will do everything in their power to stuff it all in bag. I have received some molds so misshapen that I couldn’t figure out what it was!! I did see a video somewhere tho that placing a mold in hot water will bring it back into shape, it did work
@@laurasmith9726 i totally understand why they do it, so i have been making “smaller” orders, with like products together, they’re not necessarily less money but smaller products all in one order, flat objects in another, weirdly shaped ones in another as well. I get they are saving us money this way, but some things are getting to me in those bulk bags that cannot be used, or spilled in the big bag.
Thank you! I found your video & decided to watch. You actually reviewed some items I was wondering about. The globe trash piece I was so curious about. I've looked & read about it. I could NOT figured it out. Turned the pics every which way from Sunday! NOW I understand Time we'll spent on your video, thanks!
Why are Americans supporting China? No wonder our country is going down the toilet. Temu, LLC Most products are shipped to consumers from China. It is a subsidiary of Chinese-based PDD Holdings Inc., which also owns Pinduoduo . History and business model Temu is owned and operated by PDD Holdings, which also owns Pinduoduo, a popular social commerce platform in China.
Hate to be a Debbie Downer but ... when we buy from China (Temu is an America-based distributor of wholly Chinese products), we are funding a Communist country that hates America and is bent on undermining us. They no doubt use very poorly paid and poorly treated labor (including chidren) to make these products. The same with buying from any Dollar Tree and many others. Yes, they make more affordable merchandise. While we'll never not buy products made in China, we should try to avoid wholly-owned Chinese stores. My two cents.
That come quickly part just does not compute at all for me. My orders are all with an apologetic notation and a reminder that if not received in time I will receive a 5 dollar credit. It has been a week and the orders I excitedly placed are not even processing yet.
@@patscott5986 I appreciate it. Hopefully a fluke for me. 4 separate orders and nothing processing. It says "items are delayed *within each* shipment and they are hurrying to get my order filled" 😜
I love TEMU! I have ordered hundreds of dollars worth of craft items, diamond art kits, shoes, lights, patio items and clothing. Have not been disappointed with anything. Always comes on time and nothing was broken. One item was missing and they promptly refunded to my card, that day. What more could you want?
I'm wary of Temu. The first time I heard of it seemed one or two days before I found that ads were EVERYWHERE. I don't know how long they've been in business, but I'd be very curious to know how they or whomever is bankrolling their North American rollout
I've ordered several things from TEMU. My "reviews " would be similar to yours. Every time I get my package, it looks like it went through a lot, but they tape it securely. They tend to package things in a very insecure way, but I don't think I've had anything bent or broken when I receive the order. I also have learned to check carefully for dimensions, a few things I've ordered were much smaller or felt flimsier than I expected, but, like you, I hadn't paid enough attention so it's my fault if not what I expected.
Sorry, I've been avoiding Temu like the plague just because I no how China operates. Unless these companies hire someone to inspect quality manufacturers will through in garbage products or rip you off completely like Aliexpress did to me. However, some products are decent. I think it's all about knowing the manufacturer or supplier. Even on a dollar scale you need to protect not just yourself but other customers as well. Aliexpress never believed me when I reported fake products, and told me to take it up with the seller. As for other companies like wish and shein it's the same knock off products you're just fishing for who can ship it to you cheaper. Still gambling on quality. Shein I think is the worst copying and stealing art from artists. This might not vug other customers, but for an artist it feels dirty seeing them stealing like that without even asking for permission. That's my rant. If anyone can prove me wrong feel free to do so.
When an item you ordered (or you’re going to order) goes out of stock, if you click on the picture it brings you to the page and says it’s sold out BUT if you click on the picture on that page for details it will bring up the picture you originally saw. The weeder ball is now sold at dollar tree as well. Yes they give you a 5 dollar credit if order is not delivered in the time frame they say. I got mine a day late and got a 5 dollar credit.
@@2degucitas I like that idea. Unlike Amazon you wait months for something to get back in stock only later to find out it's never coming back in stock.
I ordered a cutting Matt, who ever packaged mine folded it in half to get it in the bag. It had a Crease LOL unusable.. . it was the only damaged thing. Glad to see yours arrived in perfect condition! Everything else I ordered was just what I expected it to be!
Even if u bought from an American retailer, 9 times out of 10 it was still made in China. Might as well save money with the way this economy is. I bought wireless headphones from Temu for $4 instead of $30 on Amazon.
There have been a lot of warnings about fake (counterfeit) collectibles, not only on Temu but also on Amazon, eBay, and even Etsy, and the way you tell is reading the product description carefully and keeping a measuring tape on hand so you can have a visual of the actual measurement. The fakes are almost always smaller than the real thing.
I have spent WAY too much money with Temu and I have been disappointed in very, very little. They carry items I have bought from Amazon for considerably more money. They do ship quickly and give you $5 if you don't receive it in a timely manner. At least so far, I am very, very happy with them.
Thanks for the info 😊. 🙏❤️
Wow, so you're OK with importing things that haven't been subject to the same safety inspections that normal retailers are subject to. You're OK handling lead and cadmium.
When you buy from normal retailers, those retailers are required by law in many countries to eliminate slave labor from their supply chains. But Temu doesn't have to do that. The products on Temu wouldn't pass muster with regular companies which is why they're there. So this means you are OK with slave labor. I hope you sleep at night knowing your goal of saving a little money means literal exploitation.

@@TN-rf7nt the products are the SAME products as what is sold here. I’ve seen insane markups on items on Amazon, at Target, at Walmart, on Etsy, at JoAnn or Michael’s, and even at boutique retailers and craft fairs in my city. They are all selling exactly the same products. Exactly.
I ordered a compressor to inflate tiers, balls several adapters to use on sll different things that need air. Very happy.
Those bulb safety pins are stitch markers for knitting and crochet. The circle bottom fits around most knitting needles. That is a great deal for stitch markers.❤
They are also used in junk journals, so the different colours are great
I would love to see a follow up on this video as to how well everything worked out when you actually use them.
LOOOVE this idea!
Yes especially on the replacement needles for the Cricut machine!
And to see if the cricut actually loaded the mats…very important info missing, sorry
I agree. I think a follow up video is a great idea.

We love Temu and order way too much. We had to limit ourselves because we found we were spending too much on our hobbies. Quality has always been =rally good. We're very happy with Temu ❤
I order from Temu all the time, I haven't been disappointed yet.
My experience with Temu has been “ you get what you pay for”. So if you don’t pay a lot, then you can’t expect a lot . My first experience wasn’t so good. I waited 6 months then gave them another chance.. my second experience was slightly better but like I said, you get what you pay for
Hi, I just wanted to say keep trying with small orders, maybe. I am 76 and wishvI had had Temu all my life - I could have saved thousands and I feel the quality os very good (better than the 99c store).
@@juliejohnson497 as I stated before, just don’t expect the quality you could get from other sites/stores. I’m satisfied with my second order for the price I paid. The first order was a disappointment. Have a blessed day!🥰💕
I price check items vs Amazon example massager $4.48 TEMU was $50 on Amazon for exact item... mini blender also cheaper on TEMU, same w knee braces.... I've saved even on baby outfits $18 on Amazon vs $5 on TEMU and the quality has not disappointed- love kitchen gadgets and TEMU has things you'd never think of that w my arthritis has made my life so much easier.... I fell hard down this rabbit hole
The more we purchase from these companies because we need to pay next to nothing for our junk, the more the people who make this,junk will be treated HORRIBLY. I know that doesn’t matter when you’re getting you’re cheap junk and it’s Asians, it’s no big deal, right?
@@debannas4567 Can you tell us why you were disappointed. In what way was the quality inferior? What item did you buy?
I have ordered over a hundred items from TEMU since New Year Day. Overall I have been pleased. There have been maybe ten items I regret but for the price it's still not bad. Plus I tend to buy multiples.
The pet supplies surpass similar ones from the pet supply store. Art supplies color inks for adult coloring go faster than similar supplies from craft shops. But maybe because I really use brown, greens & red more than other colors. Big eye needles in the tube & open thimbles are great like she said. Overall the items arrived in two weeks.
Definitely preferable to WISH.
I have ordered from temu twice now both times everything I got was exactly like pictured on the website and I have been very pleased with everyone of my products and especially the price
I have placed several orders with Temu. Delivery took not quite two weeks. The very few items that I was less than happy with initially, were exactly as advertised. If I had read the detailed description and/or looked at all of the pictures I would have known what to expect. There is usually a picture that shows dimensions. Pay attention to size charts. They run smaller than sizes here. I’ve been a happy shopper. And the prices are crazy affordable. :~)
4/4/23- Endlessly buffering at 4:41 or so, the craft paper/cloth, whatever it is, after the wooden discs. IDK what's going on, but so far have to say good quality video, nice production value, good sound...all that good stuff. Just wish I could see the rest of the video....
I have ordered twice, love it .Everything I've ordered has been good.
Glad to hear you've had some good experiences!
The safety pins make great stitch markers for knitting.
I order from Temu alot and have not been disappointed at all
Loved my TeMu order. I plan on spending a lot more now on craft supplies since seeing this
We got a ton of stuff for the Christmas stockings last year because you can get so much random stuff for like 18 cents lol
I have ordered a bunch from TEMU and have not gotten a bad thing yet
I have ordered a batch of things from Temu twice. Surprised how the items are just tossed in a bag together and mailed. So naturally some items gets bent or broken. But Temu will refund the broken items.
First time ordering and still waiting 13 days later for deliveries. A total of 5 orders don't think I will order again.
I've ordered way too much 😂😂 the few times I've had a problem. I just reached out to customer service, and bam problem solved .
That was a fun day!
I love this site and have very rarely disappointed.....I especially love the dried flowers for resin=)
I’ve wondered how they can sell things so cheaply! Thanks for the review!
It's all made in China by underpaid employees worked to the bone from cheap materials, and shipped to the US.
Does the merch come from China, the last two items I ordered off similar sites I never got my stuff. Bank reimbursed me though. Thank God.
I always keep a measuring tape handy when ordering fromTemu. They make pictures of several items and the pictures look blown up, when you get your measuring tape and check out the measurements on the item, you're like, "oh" . Maybe not! 😁 This will definitely keep you from disappointments down the road!
I got a huge amount of spam for several days after searching on Temu. Did that happen to you?
Me too!
Very wise!
Excellent idea - giving the measurements os items is the only thing I wish they would change.
@@juliejohnson497 if you scroll through the images on certain items, like food molds, you'll find measurements. That measurement tape comes in handy then! I came scrolling to find this comment actually.
I have not ordered anything from Temu because I try to not support “Made in China” businesses and products. They have been very successful in blanketing social media with advertising. I’m glad that everyone feels that they’re getting a good deal.
Nowadays it is very hard to find anything that wasn't made in China.
if i could get the products made in America this cheap i definitely would, but nowadays its getti m g harder and harder to make it so when i can get good deals you hetter believe im going to.....no matter where its made!!
So where do you shop then??? Certainly not big box stores
I do the same. I try not to buy anything that’s made in China. Some things I have no choice but when I do I will pay more not to give a penny ti China.
I am also curious about where you shop... also I hope you don't have a cell phone because your phone was most likely made, at least in part, in China. Also, what are you typing this on and how are you watching this video? Most computers are also made, at least in part, in China. Even a lot of the processed food we eat and medicine we take in the USA come from China (or at least a few of the ingredients come from China). The only difference with Temu is you are not giving the companies making a profit on the Chinese products more money. Do some research into where the products you buy / own come from!
I love Temu! I have placed an embarrassing amount of orders. I just started dabbling in resin, and I have got tools and silicone molds galore. All fantastic. Temu is a very dangerous rabbit hole! I could buy myself into the poor house quickly.
LOL! Very understandable. I'm so glad you mentioned resin tools and molds, etc. I've been dying to try resin.... dabble a little because it looks like fun. And, I have to agree with you about getting carried away with (addicted to) buying from Temu as it is extremely inexpensive. tfs
I’m just starting resin too, still like Aliexpress better, what do you think?
I believe I’ve placed an order every day since I found the site. That’s only been a week or so. But if the number of orders I place is low (it’s not) then the number of items I purchase each time makes up for it. I’ve only received my first shipment so far, and I’ve been pleased with everything. You are totally correct about the danger! I usually add everything I like to my cart, then go away and chill for a while. Later, hopefully, my clearer head will prevail, and I will delete a few things. They try to talk me out of it. When I say to continue checkout, I enter another danger zone. They bring up pages of stuff I may have “forgotten” to order. They got me figured out right away. Somehow they know what I like and didn’t see. 😂 I just have to stay strong. This is so much fun!
Me, too (embarrassingly large # of items).
I would like to join a support group for people who can't stop looking at and ordering from Temu. Like AA.
I haven't gotten my craft supplies yet, but what I can/will say is that THEY HAVE BELIEVABLE SIZES FOR CLOTHING! I'm an extra fluffy human, and I was able to purchase and wear several items.
Great news for extra fluffy humans! Hahahaha!!! TY😊
@@margotsanderford7050 I mean, I'm a 2x here in the states, and a 5x on TEMU, but the fact that I can wear this (and it's not something that says it's plus sized but will only fit my thigh) is a minor miracle and I love it.
And I did get my crafty stuffs in. Started with a jewelry making kit. It's exactly as ordered. Not the best, but still decent quality. I've already used it to create a cross body strap for my phone, and it's good.
The 2 X clothing I got from temu was given to my size 8 neighbor.
Fluffy humans are the best ;)
I'm fluffy too scared to order clothes . Are they true to size?
My daughter told me about TEMU about 4 weeks ago so I downloaded the app scrolled twice and found a pair of moissanite earrings exactly like a pair I’d been thinking about buying from Ebay for $100. TEMU had the exact pair for $20. I’m so happy. 😊
my only worry with temu is how ethical it is, cause those prices are a bit scary
I'm curious. Why would you think that low prices are unethical?
@@oldladyfarmer7211 I think they’re worried that the worries are heavily underpaid like Shein and some other places have been rumored to do
@@koalamarsc7452 Got it. Thanks for that. I always look for the lowest price but I try to buy American-made
as much as possible.
@@oldladyfarmer7211 Christians/Uygurs that are being persecuted in China is unethical, as well is collecting your data.
@@koalamarsc7452 'Heavily underpaid' is a euphemism for virtual human slavery.
Those little "safety pins" are actually used as stitch markers for knitting and crochet 😁
I see some use them in junk journals too.
I've actually had them on clothing I'v purchased for the tags. I actually save them...good to know you can buy them if needed.
My first thought too perfect stitch markers.
@@KatyWatson173 I prefer the actual thicker ones that are plastic, but I love these for hanging charms in Journals and other paper crafts
I didnt know that. Thanks for telling us.
Temu is a Chinese government substidized business. They are trying to challenge amazon.
Those little safety pins are great stitch markers for crochet/knitting!
That’s what I thought they were 😁😁
That was my thought exactly. In fact I have some that look the same.
I junk journal, and am obsessed with everything I have gotten from TEMU. I haven’t gotten anything I don’t like so far.
Lol i junk journal and TEMU is my go to place for ordering for it…I love it and try doing it once a month and I love it because I never have to wait for multiple packages and it gives you measurements of the package
I have ordered many things from Temu, from crafts,to shoes, to household, to jewelry and wigs. Haven’t been disappointed in anything.
Wow! That is quite surprising. Thank you for sharing.
@@vickigoodman1614 you took my exact comment lol great minds…
Wow thanks for your comment, I haven't ordered anything as of yet but after this video + all these great comments, I definitely will be ordering soon!! ❤
For gift giving at Christmas since everyth ing is so expensive would save a lot of money. Lots of good stocking stuffer items.
I agree there are so many bargains! I've ordered so many different items with no problems. Their jewelery is a great value and you can't beat the prices on sewing and craft items IMHO
Like another commenter posted, a measuring tape is handy to have while shopping. If you scroll through an item's images, you'll find its measurements sometimes and that tape will give you a good idea of its size before ordering.
I am so excited, I was a little scared mainly because the prices were so low. Thank you so much for the input concerning Temu. I'm ready to shop.
I’ve ordered many items from Temu and been happy with all. You didn’t mention that it’s FREE SHIPPING which is everything.
I’ve ordered at least 10 times and I’ve been pleasantly surprised with everything but when ordering clothes I’ve always ordered up a size
Thanks, the clothing sizes confuse me. They say a size 16 is an XXL, when here, XXL would be a 22. I'm not sure whether to go with the number, or the letter. I'm trying a blouse this last order, and I went up two sizes, just to be sure. I can give it away if it doesn't work.
I'm small, should I order a medium then?
@@abijahdixon2771 yes, their clothes are always smaller than our sizes
@@cariwaldick4898 their return policy is supposed to be easy, per a friend, if it doesn't fit
I've gotten both clothes and shoes. I've found most tops and pants run true to size. I wear an 18 US, and Temu calls that 3x. I've found that if the item is more close fitting or has fitted arms to go up a size, because I'm busty and have heavy arms. But most stuff fits fine at the normal size. I do pay attention to the measurements, because they are not always consistent from one shop to another. As to shoes, the sizes are all over. Measure your foot length in centimeters and go by that. They always give the centimeters in addition to the size. Quality wise, I'm very happy for the prices! I order most of my clothes from Blair when they have sales, but a lot of their stuff is not my style. Temu has wonderful boho stuff!
I love Temu. It's a dangerous rabbit hole, that is so much fun to drop down.
yes
I just brought my Temu haul in from the mail. I filled my granddaughters Christmas stockings with Temu and now have lots of fun little things for all of their Easter baskets.
I just found it 2 weeks ago and it is like a serious addiction now. Not disappointed in any of the 50 items I got so far, and many of the prices are unbelievably low - some 10% of what I have paid retail for the exact items. I wish they would put a ruler next to many of the pix.
😂
Temu is the new WISH
I’m very happy with Temu ! From craft supplies, embossing plates, earrings, household items…. All Great so far !
Great except every dollar you spend there is supporting Communist China. NOT A GOOD COMPROMISE FOR CHESPER PRICES!
If you don’t mind buying products that can be produced cheaply due to the forced labor of concentration camp detainees (mainly China’s Uyghur minority ethnic group, whose people are forcibly transported to work in the factories in Shenzhen, China), there is no problem.
This was great - I love the fact that you don't try to create a gotcha moment or unnecessary drama. I've just started ordering from Temu and so far have been really pleased. I ordered a plastic snake for under a buck that literally pulled up so much disgusting junk in my drains. Did every drain in my house, the stick is a little worn but still good to be used again, and I saved myself hundreds in having a pro come snake them for me.
Loved this because I was leery of the crafting items and your post really helped me see that the items are mostly quality and useable.
I will say to anyone thinking about ordering from Temu, the only thing to be wary of is some brands - for instance, they advertise "Squishmallow" but the stuffies are definitely knock-offs and not nearly the same quality or that unique squishmallow stuffing that is perfect for many autistic people.
Other than that, and the sizing being Chinese and so kind of hit and miss for US (esp plus size), I've enjoyed shopping there.
Two problems I've found as other comments have mentioned: Some stuff is priced so low that you order it even if you REALLY don't need it. I have so many cool pieces of costume jewelry...and I don't wear jewelry. LOL. I'll give them to my kids who have the same taste (goth meets hello kitty meets wicca), but seriously, should not be buying that stuff! And number two, if something doesn't work out, when you go to return, if you used a coupon, it's just so little money you'll get back for the time it takes to do the return, you end up just keeping the item a lot of times. As much as my local Buy Nothing group will love the things I got that don't fit, it's still wasted money. Admittedly, both of these are ME problems and not Temu's but I'm just warning you in advance to be prepared to say, "oh yeah, that commenter was SO right, I do that too" ;-). As long as you accept this as "entertainment" fees for an enjoyable shopping experience...you're still probably coming out way ahead of what you'd have paid at a Brick and Mortar, or even on Amazon.
For anyone used to Amazon's prime shipping, though, the wait between ordering and getting is SUPER LONG. Not gonna lie, we're spoiled rotten, but if you need something quickly, Amazon or a local store is the best option. Just saying.
This was a really good review with a gentle caveat of "buyer be aware". Thank you!
Great review and I am exactly the same with the jewellery and it is very much costume jewellery and not made for continuous use. It will turn your skin green/black. I enjoy most of what I bought. The clothes and shoes fit nicely.
It may not matter to some people and I am not judging but, many of the products that come from Temu, Ali Express and Wish are knock offs. They violate patents and licenses almost as fast as designers release their products that they have spent a lot of time and effort making!
I don't care,I am just looking to save money.
@@lauriestanevich93 I've not seen anyone but you say they actually don't care about piracy. Hot damn!
We order almost weekly. The craft products have been great. Clothing has been quality and true to size. Any errors have been because we didn’t read descriptions closely enough. Hubby ordered a pocketknife which turned out to be about 1” long, but perfect for my keychain and when we reread order the size was listed. Yes, some of the quality is slightly less than Amazon, but we’ve been quite pleased. Got $5 credit on late ahipping and get gifts of 4¢-6¢ every week
The safety pins look very much like stitch markers used in crochet. And a lot cheaper too!
PLEASE educate yourself on the word “gyped” and why you shouldn’t use it.
gypped
cheat or swindle (someone).
"that's salesmanship, you have to gyp people into buying stuff they don't like". From the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. I do believe that is exactly the context in which she meant it. I don't understand why you are upset, I can't see how it was offensive to feel she might be getting "gyped" by Temu. Too many people look for things to be offended by. If you use a foul word to describe a person, then I could understand being offended, especially if you are that person.
I really don't think this was a derogatory word aimed at you. In all seriousness, do you really think this was meant that way. Just enjoy life, and this video, life is too short to live this way. ❤️
@@bonnietorix5818 it is referring to Gypsies, or Rom people. There is a very real possibility she didn’t know this, as a matter of fact, I bet she didn’t know the root of this word. The poster is helping people be aware. This group is one of the most maligned ethnic groups in history, so let’s just have this be a teaching moment. Thank you.
@@bonnietorix5818 It's a racial slur based on the word Gypsy, which is also a slur. Please don't use it.
Instead of saying wow that's cheap ask why it's so cheap. China is known for slave labor and inhumane working conditions. Yes the stuff is cheap because the people who are forced to make these trinkets are paid little to no money. Do you think that the things you buy from them have been ethically made, did they pay their workers , did they clean up any environmental damages they caused. The answer is likely no. You get what you pay for. Cheap might be nice but when do we draw the line, at what point do we stop and ask, if it's that cheap how do they continue to stay in business. Everything has a cost, how much is up to you.
Thanks for doing this video. It seemed like they appeared out of nowhere and were everywhere, so I was a little suspicious. Now that I've seen your video and read the comments, I feel OK giving them a try.
Yeah! What you said. I was suspicious of them due to the prices. An because they just came from no where to everywhere. So glad for this video..
Are you all crazy. . .this is the CCP, the inhumane, evil communist party that hates America & Americans. Why would you allow them to track you and add your data to their data bases? Why would give money to one of the most dangerous regimes in the world? Think forced organ donations. ...they have imprisoned many in reunification camps. . .they are one of the sources of the poison drugs coming from the Mexican border. Please wise up & cease supporting China.
Just a heads up on the safety pins, they are great for using as a placeholder for crocheting or knitting.
Yes that's what I use them for, or attaching labels to things, I love them
I’ve ordered twice from Temu. There have only been a few items that were disappointing quality. There have been many items that exceeded my expectations. I think that it’s definitely worth the risk of a few lesser quality items, given the low prices!
That little paper cutter is the PERFECT size for going inside of a planner!! 😍
This was actually really useful information. I thought Temu was just another Wish and brushed it off
I did to.
Which is funny cuz i’ve ordered thru Wish several times & only been disappointed by the immense wait time. So if Temu is so significantly better?.. Guess i’m gonna give them a shot!
I haven't ordered from Wish in over a year. My go-to is Shein and Temu. Temu offers more crafting supplies, while I still use Shein for decor.
I think it is similar but better shipping? I know aliexpress is similar and they have offers, like buy £8 worth of stuff and get 15 day shipping
I ordered a strong grip mat from Temu and at first glance it looks the same as the Cricut brand. The first time I used painters tape to hold down faux leather, the tape pulled off the sticky from the mat and after only a few cuts it started to cut through the mat. I won’t be ordering mats again but I have had great success with several other crafting supplies!
I am with you. We are spending too much money on goods made in China, especially our prescriptions. We need to bring manufacturing back to the USA.
Dollar Tree now sells the same exact silicone vinyl Waste Collector for $1.25. I just saw them when I was shopping this evening. They felt very sturdy.
Yeah. I’d check the dollar tree plus store first.
Don't intend to order from them. My choice not to buy Made in China products any more than I absolutely have to. People need to wake up and buy Made in America.
I'd love to know how much TEMU "gifts" to all these "influencers" to plaster this crap all over their channels. I'd guess $50. JS
I have ordered from Temu several times and have been very pleased with my purchases. The only thing I don’t like about some things listed is that there’s no measurements. I try and stay away from those items. Great video and I would love to see how the Cricut blades do especially.
Glad you said this about measurements. I commented similarly on need for better distribution info.
I agree - they would sell more if they gave measurements (except for the miniatures which are already labeled as 1:12 ratio).
Temu is headquartered in Shanghai China. I am choosing to Defund China while they are choosing to attack America and our values.
The little waste collector I use for keeping my glue upside down so it doesn’t dry up
Oh thats a great idea! 👍
What a great idea!
I use mine to store my ear buds, so they don't fall behind my desk
That's exactly what I thought when I saw it.
I think it would be good for holding cups of water for painting so they don't spill.
Please stop using the word "g*ped." It's actually a racial slur referring to Romany people. People used to call them "g*psies" and the stereotype of them is the basis of that word.
Any way for you to check toxicity of items? I am curious to know if anything has toxic materials in them that we need to be concerned about, as some stamps I purchased from wish smelled highly toxic. Even years later!
Send them to a lab to be tested, use one of the lead test pens. Otherwise, nothing from there will be organic. Just like anything, purchase at your own risk.
I have ordered many different items from Temu, and I have no complaints on anything I have ordered. I have ordered a variety of different items. They are better than Wish, and every order comes in a week no later. Love the free shipping also.
This video would be a lot more helpful if you actually used all of the products before reviewing them.
My concern with these products would be health and safety issues. Are the plastics safe to use or do they contain toxic chemicals?
That's a great question. Now you have me wondering the same thing.
You're right to wonder. Plastics, rubber, and ceramics manufactured in China should always be tested for lead. The tests aren't cheap, so I just avoid those products. What's helpful is if you're buying those products here in the states from craft stores (good examples are JoAnn and Michael's,) they'll often have a warning on the package saying it's for decorative purposes only and/or that it's not suitable for children under 14. Outside of California, which has strong laws about toxicity in consumer products, this warning is a clue that the item likely contains lead. Your county health department should have an environmental health department, and they may be able to answer questions about your concerns.
Its cutting into american business way too much. I dont support chinese child labor either
I’ve been loving TEMU. The wood carving knives I got from there are excellent. I’ve also gotten inked stamp pads and stone beads that have been great.
I am a customer of Temu, I ordered about $50 worth of clothing, 2 bucket hats, one says New York & the other is moon & star symbol, great quality, 2 pull over hoodies say PINK now this is what I didn't expect ones black & the other one like off white, the hoodies are 100 % polyester, no cotton involved at all it's soft but cheaply made, warm so I'll wear them, I'm actually ordering the rest of my order right now, keep you updated!
I have ordered a few times from Temu. I have been very happy with my purchases and especially the prices and free shipping!
I have ordered a ton. Not just craft stuff, but clothes, shoes, earrings, sunglasses, tools, etc. The only time I’ve been surprised (not disappointed) was when I didn’t read the description. That’s my fault entirely! My kids and husband love it too because they get surprise gifts every time I order!
I have ordered twice from Temu. Very happy with what I received.
I love everything that I've ordered from TEMU. I order craft supplies as well as other household things and haven't been disappointed. I bought a new car recently and wanted to 'bling' it up some, so I ordered many cute things from TEMU and all have been really good items. My pets also love TEMU. I don't think you will be sorry you ordered.
I have heard so many things about Teemu and most of the things I heard were great and shipping so quick! I actually never thought about looking through the site for crafting items and I'm a Crafter! Imagine that! Later this evening or tomorrow I am going to definitely go on to Temu to see if I can find some crafting supplies that thus far have been out of my budget range! Thank you for posting honey. Blessings from Gramma Gia in the Ozarks!
I have done the same thing!!! Bling tire valve tops, kleenex holder, sunglass holder and trash can. I love it!!!!
I've ordered silicone molds and was so incredibly happy with the quality!
Thanks I was actually going to ask about the molds.
Yay I just ordered them today
I've ordered a lot of stuff from TEMU. Some jewelry, signage, sewing scissors, etc. The prices were great, the quality for what I paid for was very good and the free shipping just seals the deal. Fun stuff you got and I'll look into some of it. You've earned a subscriber as I have never seen your channel before and love crafting! 💚
LoL! I just discovered this channel as well and subscribed.
Yup, I also just discovered this channel & subbed.
Same here😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Almost everything we buy is made n China.
I have placed several orders with Temu. Easter shopped for my family of 20. Was able to get more for my money.
I just heard about this company a week ago. I looked at prices & thought…too good to be true. Thanks for video.
I've ordered a few times from Temu and haven't been disappointed. I've purchased fabric, resin supplies, kitchen items, sewing items (the same needles you purchased) and more. So far no surprises and everything is still in good shape-no breaks during use.
I was unsure of the fabric quality, so thank you!
I feel the company is pretty good and shipping is fair. Easy to order. I rate it a 10
I have placed several orders from Temu, everything from needle threaders, sewing shears which are very sharp, to embroidery scissors which work amazing thank you cards and stickers ( beware of sticker sizes they are a lot smaller than they appear. I can't complain about anything I've gotten. The cutting mats for cricut is a little more plastic though, overall I am a return customer.
Almost everything I’ve ordered from Temu has been total crap.
We understand! Thank you for your input!
PLEASE do a follow-up video, I really want to see all these items in action and get your thoughts after using them.
Also, what was the name of that felt you said you usually use? Thanks!
Temu is headquartered in Shanghai China. I am choosing to Defund China while they are choosing to attack America and our values.
The main reason I don't use Temu is because I would be supporting China vs American made products. Yes, I use Amazon. But I also research every company. If it's somewhere other than the USA I don't buy it.
I was just going to ask that question. Thanks!
Lots of things made in the USA are made with parts from China. A lot of US brands are made in China. A lot of American manufacturers have moved their production to China and still brand them as American made. I look at it this way.... people and families in China have to eat and pay bills too. We are all humans. In today's crashing economy, if I can get the same thing from China at more than half the price of something comparable here in the US, then I will always choose the cheaper price. Budget 101.
Love the way that you showed what you ordered and what you got. Thanks for sharing!
Chinese company..need I say more
I was actually very surprised with Temu! I make jewelry and craft so my first order was a small order of semi precious stone beads and some glass beads. I was very happy with the quality and price! I've already placed several more orders because the prices just can't be beat! I'd love to see a follow-up video using the blades and máts for the cricut!! Have a blessed day! 💕
The only thing I don’t like about Temu is their packing. The prices are great so you can sample glitters, fillers, foils, etc. if you place a large order they will do everything in their power to stuff it all in bag. I have received some molds so misshapen that I couldn’t figure out what it was!! I did see a video somewhere tho that placing a mold in hot water will bring it back into shape, it did work
Packaging is part of what lets them offer things so inexpensive and so many free shipping offers.😉
@@laurasmith9726 i totally understand why they do it, so i have been making “smaller” orders, with like products together, they’re not necessarily less money but smaller products all in one order, flat objects in another, weirdly shaped ones in another as well. I get they are saving us money this way, but some things are getting to me in those bulk bags that cannot be used, or spilled in the big bag.
@@JustConfused_24-7 that’s a shame. So sorry things didn’t get to you in good shape.
Thank you! I found your video & decided to watch. You actually reviewed some items I was wondering about. The globe trash piece I was so curious about. I've looked & read about it. I could NOT figured it out. Turned the pics every which way from Sunday! NOW I understand
Time we'll spent on your video, thanks!
Everything you got looks pretty good, a follow up on them would be great!! Thank you for sharing!!! Hugs Liz..
Why are Americans supporting China? No wonder our country is going down the toilet. Temu, LLC Most products are shipped to consumers from China. It is a subsidiary of Chinese-based PDD Holdings Inc., which also owns Pinduoduo . History and business model Temu is owned and operated by PDD Holdings, which also owns Pinduoduo, a popular social commerce platform in China.
I love TEMU I’ve ordered about 6 times & have not been disappointed in anything I’ve gotten at all
Hate to be a Debbie Downer but ... when we buy from China (Temu is an America-based distributor of wholly Chinese products), we are funding a Communist country that hates America and is bent on undermining us. They no doubt use very poorly paid and poorly treated labor (including chidren) to make these products. The same with buying from any Dollar Tree and many others.
Yes, they make more affordable merchandise. While we'll never not buy products made in China, we should try to avoid wholly-owned Chinese stores. My two cents.
Post office messed up with order and Temu immediately offered to refund or replace! Things come quickly and have been very satisfied!
That come quickly part just does not compute at all for me. My orders are all with an apologetic notation and a reminder that if not received in time I will receive a 5 dollar credit.
It has been a week and the orders I excitedly placed are not even processing yet.
@@living4mylord They are usually here within a week with continual notices on status. Never gone beyond the time to get the $5
@@patscott5986 I appreciate it. Hopefully a fluke for me. 4 separate orders and nothing processing. It says "items are delayed *within each* shipment and they are hurrying to get my order filled" 😜
I love TEMU! I have ordered hundreds of dollars worth of craft items, diamond art kits, shoes, lights, patio items and clothing. Have not been disappointed with anything. Always comes on time and nothing was broken. One item was missing and they promptly refunded to my card, that day. What more could you want?
I’ve been wondering about Temu! Thanks for reviewing.
Temu is headquartered in Shanghai China. I am choosing to Defund China while they are choosing to attack America and our values.
I'm wary of Temu. The first time I heard of it seemed one or two days before I found that ads were EVERYWHERE. I don't know how long they've been in business, but I'd be very curious to know how they or whomever is bankrolling their North American rollout
I've ordered several things from TEMU. My "reviews " would be similar to yours. Every time I get my package, it looks like it went through a lot, but they tape it securely. They tend to package things in a very insecure way, but I don't think I've had anything bent or broken when I receive the order. I also have learned to check carefully for dimensions, a few things I've ordered were much smaller or felt flimsier than I expected, but, like you, I hadn't paid enough attention so it's my fault if not what I expected.
Sorry, I've been avoiding Temu like the plague just because I no how China operates. Unless these companies hire someone to inspect quality manufacturers will through in garbage products or rip you off completely like Aliexpress did to me. However, some products are decent. I think it's all about knowing the manufacturer or supplier. Even on a dollar scale you need to protect not just yourself but other customers as well. Aliexpress never believed me when I reported fake products, and told me to take it up with the seller. As for other companies like wish and shein it's the same knock off products you're just fishing for who can ship it to you cheaper. Still gambling on quality. Shein I think is the worst copying and stealing art from artists. This might not vug other customers, but for an artist it feels dirty seeing them stealing like that without even asking for permission. That's my rant. If anyone can prove me wrong feel free to do so.
When an item you ordered (or you’re going to order) goes out of stock, if you click on the picture it brings you to the page and says it’s sold out BUT if you click on the picture on that page for details it will bring up the picture you originally saw. The weeder ball is now sold at dollar tree as well. Yes they give you a 5 dollar credit if order is not delivered in the time frame they say. I got mine a day late and got a 5 dollar credit.
There also a function offered for items that are out of stock. You can click the "notify me" button when it comes in stock.
@@2degucitas I like that idea. Unlike Amazon you wait months for something to get back in stock only later to find out it's never coming back in stock.
So Temu is a Chinese company?
I ordered a cutting Matt, who ever packaged mine folded it in half to get it in the bag. It had a Crease LOL unusable.. . it was the only damaged thing. Glad to see yours arrived in perfect condition! Everything else I ordered was just what I expected it to be!
Even if u bought from an American retailer, 9 times out of 10 it was still made in China. Might as well save money with the way this economy is. I bought wireless headphones from Temu for $4 instead of $30 on Amazon.
Make sure to read product descriptions. Many items I have bought are way smaller than I expected. Some are super tiny.
There have been a lot of warnings about fake (counterfeit) collectibles, not only on Temu but also on Amazon, eBay, and even Etsy, and the way you tell is reading the product description carefully and keeping a measuring tape on hand so you can have a visual of the actual measurement. The fakes are almost always smaller than the real thing.
