Temu has great customer service, I received an acrylic item that was broken and they refunded my money the same day I contacted them. I did not have to even send the broken item back.
Trick for peeling tricky stickers, use a clean toothpick to separate the two pieces. 90% of the time this works.❤ Love your channel so much. You have brought me a lot of joy in the last five years, thank you.
Well it’s too late for”Free (whatever it was)” but I want to thank you for your Temu presentation. Most of the “hauls” are so time consuming - watching the person open each bag (yawn). Why do people think you want to listen to that bag rattle and “Oh look at this”. Your approach is much better and matter of fact I will be watching more of your posts!!
Love the plant stand, lol. I've got to say that your honest review of products off of Temu is so refreshing. There's so many sponsored reviews that don't even open the products before saying, " It looks great." and not really trying them out. The reviews you do can be trusted and are so important to those that don't want to play the maybe, maybe not game. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.
Never drank any paint/water, but when my brother was younger he chewed tobacco and spit the excess into a long neck beer bottle, and oh yes several times took a big swig of spit tobacco water! Ugh! Yeah he quit chewing not long after that kept happening!
Thank you for reviewing their cutting dies! I've been wondering if they were worth picking up at all. This review gave me the information I needed to make an informed purchase there.
I just received an order of several sets of cutting dies. Their measurements on the site measured the space/ of sheet they come on. That’s all. I had to guess on the size of the coffee cups which didn’t match the size of the stamps-unusable together. I have trouble with breaking apart the dies and getting the whole tiny nib off. It affects only one tiny label die cut, out of 4 sets of dies. Cannot separate the clear stickers and can’t see the tiny edges since they are clear-waste of money!
Hi! Little tip I found when removing those sticker edges that can be difficult to remove. Use a weeding tool to lift a corner, then they peel right away. Hope this helps!
STUCK STICKERS: I struggle too. I learned to use the clear (not transparent, it’s not as sticky) scotch tape to put on both sides of items that I can’t get apart. I use the two pieces of tape as handles to pull things apart. It works most of the time.
Pokey tool? 🤔 I have a hard time removing stickers from their backing all the time (regardless of where I get them from). The reason is because I have very short nails. I was reading the comments to find possible solutions to this problem. Lol 😊

Try opening the brush cleaner jar by turning the lid clockwise. Some countries thread their products the opposite that we do. Ask me how I know. I ruined a water brush by trying to unscrew the “wrong” direction. Thanks for all the information you provide!
I hate it, but I need that brush cleaner. Sometimes dies don’t cut on one edge because the pressure in the machine is uneven. It is recommended to put dies in at an angle for the best results. If you always put things dead centre it can warp your plates and that is another reason that contact is not made with the die. Though your plates looked fairly new so I would guess the roller pressure was uneven in this case. It’s also normal to run dies through multiple times, even with expensive branded dies. Hope that helps 😊
I have issues with the stickers as well. You are not alone. When you finally remove the sticker I put a paperclip as a place holder. This was informative. Thanks!
Yes to free stuff! I have been a listener for years. I have always enjoyed your reviews on products as well as where the products are available and best price. Thank you for your thriftiness.
Usually Temu has a drop down in the description and also some items you have to click below the description to get more information. It just takes patience to figure out exactly what you're buying , but I totally understand not being able to see everything. I have macula degeneration and I have to be very patient with my eyes and take my time to look at every detail. Love your channel. And your help with all things organizing and crafting. ❤
Yes to free stuff! I too have gone diwn the Temu rabbit hole but so far have been pleased. Also have found some pretty handy items that i dont think id find elsewhere. TFS!
8:06 Close the Drawer and stick a Command hook sideways 'underneath' the table....just where the Drawer ends. It will work like a stopper and prevent the drawer from going too far back. Or use a jenga wooden piece and hot glue it under table, this will also stop the Drawer from sliding too far under the table.
Also- I’m glad you pointed out that the product purchased doesn’t always match the description. I’ve found that if it seems too good to be true you’ll usually find the actual representation of said item mixed in the product photos past the perfect cover pic. One of their saving graces is the customer community because if I’m not satisfied w the product photos there are usually some reviews posted below the description along with pics of the product that clear up any nagging doubts.

I was really excited to see the dies cut so well! I hear of card making companies say please don’t buy from China, but these companies have their product made in China so what’s the difference??? I can’t afford much because I’m on a fixed income so I’ll buy where the items are a good quality at the best price Thanks for the video! .
Sadly, we can't get away from China. I would prefer to buy Made in the USA items, but it's not always possible to find them. One of many reasons China is awful is because they use child laborers, which I definitely don't want to support. But, again, it's hard to find products not made or manufactured in China anymore. 😠 I miss the days where everything was "Made in Hong Kong" or in Taiwan. I'm not sure if they used child laborers (I hope not), but at least the countries weren't communist, which I also don't like supporting.
I like Temu but try really hard not to get the dups. They have some nifty little gadgets that help organize your kitchen and craft room. Love that you show us your opinion!

@@TheCraftyOrganizer 🤔…Do you suppose those “notstickers”😏😋could be transfers of some sort? They seem thicker than rub on ones so could they be iron on’s? (“ons “? on’s”??🤦🏻♀️)
I share your frustration with peeling stickers. I got some washi type circles and they ended up in the trash. But I’ve been very happy with other items such as dies. Great video. Thank you!
I really appreciate the video. I am tired of the vids that show the haul and praising how they seem but not actually trying them. This was very helpful. I have found their clear stamps and dies equal to others, including stampin up.
Now I'm wishing I had ordered the brush cleaner. That will definitely be the next thing I order from them. I really do like that site alot. And I really like that you can check for price adjustments on your orders for up to 30 days and get refunds for stuff that had price drops after ordering. Since I've recently learned that I've been reimbursed a couple of times. Thank you for showing your reviews. And yes to free stuff 😊
I have ordered a LOT of cutting dies from Temu, and all of them have performed great. I also really like their hot foiling plates. Most of them have been very good but a couple of them that had small words weren’t has sharp around the edges as you would like but they were still nice and very usable. I’m a Teemu fan when it comes to craft supplies!!! Yes, the big name brands are great, but not all of us can afford to buy them all the time. I am for saving money wherever I can. 😊
I'm a seamstress and I just have the hardest time getting the backing off the Wondertape!!😅 I so related to you!! And I've ordered all kinds of sewing things and gardening supplies on Temu for great prices!! I learned to read it all Very carefully but really..so far so good❤❤ Oh Yes to the Cricut review
I so agree with you. I'm 80 years old and could never use my phone to order on Temu. I do okay with their website which I look at on my big screen TV. :-)
Yes to free stuff I’ve received one order from Temu and was overall pleased with everything I ordered AND yes, I struggle removing stickers from their backings. I think it’s my nails, manicured and a little thicker than if I had just my real nails. I use my siser weed tool to help me find a spot to start the separation.
I appreciate your telling us about your wins and not so winning purchases!! I’ve gotten a few things from them and for the most part they were good. You’re right about reading about the product. Many things do not tell you the size so you don’t know what you’re going to get. I found with shirts, that the sizes are all over the place and that you have to keep looking to find what they are made of. So many of the shirts I liked were polyester and they will not be very cool for the summer.
For men's shirts I found that the brand "hardaddy" (which you can search for on Temu) is a little more roomy than other brands. I can't usually buy "off the shelf" because I'm rather big, but these shirts come in my size and are less that $15. In the US, once you get over 2XL the prices become ridiculous! We just ordered some cotton pajamas for my Mum and they came, they fit well, were of good quality and were about $15 each.
Yes to free stuff! Thank you for your honest review of the Temu items. Your reviews are my favorite videos. I have received three orders from Temu and for the most part was pleased with what I got. I was disappointed with the sticky notes - the paper was too thin. I liked the earring backs, binder rings, journaling pens in 8 sizes, craft carousel/pen holder, velcro cable ties, identity protection roller (this worked very well), Kokuyo adhesive tape roller (I love the larger ones that I normally buy but got the junior size for my granddaughters and they work well), mini bag sealer (love this one) and a few other random things. I don't have a problem with buying from Temu. I understand the concern that they steal stamp and die designs. Obviously, that is wrong. But it is impossible to know that everything we buy is from the original creator. I'm a scrapbooker and support my local stores as well as online stores. But I enjoy buying some items from Temu and feeling like I got a good deal.
Awesome reviews. I use a pokey tool to remove stickers and stuff. Poking the shiny side it peels right off. Yes to free stuff. Thanks for the opportunity ❤
Yes to Free Stuff! I love Temu but I have done the same as you and I have done it from my laptop. I just learned to check the description better. Thank you for these videos, I really enjoy them!!!!
Maybe in their "description" it should also list how old the CHILD is making your crap you feel you just HAVE TO BUY. Congratulations for being a contributing factor in some child's horrible life
Thank you for all your work on this informative video. I have seen all the hype about Temu but very leery of ordering from them. Maybe someday I'll bite the bullet and order but getting your take on the product is great. Love your videos always.
Yes to free stuff. I'm super happy you showed the brush cleaner because I want one. I will add that to my order. I like Temu so far and have had no issues with anything I have ordered. I really liked that floral washi tape as well. Thanks for a great video.
The stickers have to be cut out individually and then take one corner and bend it back and forth several times to separate the sticker from it's backing. When you see how great they look on any project you'll appreciate the process 🙂
SO glad you showed the brush cleaner! I’ve had that in my cart for awhile to really consider it. It’s not as big as I thought it was, which was one reason I was hesitating on buying it. Love that washi tape too!
Take two small pieces of packing tape. Stick one to the front of a sticker like a tab. Stick the other to the backing and try not to let your two pieces adhere to one another. Peel away from each other to get them apart.
Yes to free stuff! I have also ordered things from Temu that were smaller than expected. Most things are fine, though. Maybe the garland and sticky notes were free gifts for making a larger order.
I use a Fiskars finger blade like an exacto . I discovered that using the point of the blade gets between stickers and backing paper REALLY well. Since I started using my blade, I have never had any peeling challenges =) Yes to free stuff
thank you for testing and showing us the stuff from temu i had a few things and was really impressed i would say yes to free stuff but i am in the uk thank you again for sharing your views xx
I think the biggest problem people are having with TEMU is the counterfeiting of stamp and die sets. It happens on amazon too but not to the same extent. The stamp industry is struggling and companies are closing all the time due to waning interest and companies like temu, aliexpress and wish selling the same designs for pennies on the dollar and what shocks me is Crafter are knowingly buying the knock offs. That said not all products are sketchy but all of the sellers are painted with the same bush. Most products we buy at any store are made in countries with lower labor costs with less regulation. You are buying made in China products in most stores so why pay more? I get annoyed with the aggressive daily emails I get from TEMU wanting to advertise in my channel. They are getting lots of promotion by sending out lots of free product. Ps I have that same die from stampin up/sizzix.
Yes! I am a cyber sec professional and don’t agree with Temu selling copies of pther designers like G45, Stamperia etc. Not all products are copies but some are and I wont buy them. Sad that many knowingly/willingly buy them. I’m a hobby crafter with no RUclips channel etc and find G45 etc papers too expensive for me. But I still wont support Temu’s copyright violations. PS: my 3 other comments here and other sites about this have gone missing! Strange but I don’t blame channel owners. Just weird imho. Happy safe shopping!
Not only are they stealing designs they are using pictures from the company they are stealing the design from. The clear stamps are not made from the same quality materials. It’s disappointing that crafters Are supporting these companies that are stealing designs.
My concern with Temu isn’t about where the goods are sourced, but the home of the company and privacy concerns about what the app is tracking. I don’t use TikTok either. I have the same concerns with other apps, including those based in the US, but it rises to a new level when the app is out of China.
@Jaden R. (J) Temu is a company owned & operated by a Chinese-based parent company. Similar to US-based companies (e.g. Nike), there are various reasons companies establish operations overseas (e.g., to better serve customers, cheaper labor, lower taxes). Unfortunately, we live in an age where many companies are not forthcoming, transparent, & honest about their intentions. Although any US-based parent company could use consumer data it collects here and abroad for nefarious reasons, the original commenter was indicating a higher level of concern because a Chinese-based parent company owns & controls the consumer data collected legally or illegally by Temu's app. It's difficult to be certain that Temu's parent company’s intentions are honorable.
"Yes to free stuff" I like Temu because of the low prices, free shipping, and their 90-day return policy. I only order the craft supplies now since I was disappointed with clothing and other items sold. I do not like the shipping bags, I would prefer boxes, but I get it trying to keep their overhead down.
Thank you so much! Ive been using Temu for over a year now and have not had any issues whatsoever. Customer service was great when i order a couple of things that did not work out.
Yes to free stuff. I liked your reviews and heads up about being careful when ordering on a phone. The brush cleaner was really useful. Yes, I've reached for a drink from the water brush cup! I put it in a full roll of duct tape so not likely to knock it over.
Yes on the rainbow water drinking, As my old art teacher once called it. She encouraged us to use a closed bottle for drinking liquids and a bowl for paint water. Works well as i am unlikely to drink from small bowl..unfortunatly i did clean a brush off in my coffee once...was unpleasent.
Congratulations on your engagement ♥️♥️♥️ I'm loving the idea of the brush cleaner, my hubby paints a lot and there are always multiple jars and mugs of water about, though I suspect he would manage to knock this over too 🤣🤣
I Do Junk Journaling I have a lot of Issues with the stickers and some you have to cut around image and exact the edge 😢 They frustrate me. But Alot are easy once you figure out. Description is very hard for me also can get frustrating. But over all I order alot from them. I love ❤️ Temu. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year
I LOVES me some Temu!!! 🥰 (Especially for clothes, tho..) Personally, i think the MOST vital step is to check the reviews- the overall rankings, the pics reviewers post.. Other shoppers will be EAGER to tell u if something is cr@p!!!
So are the clothes true-to-size or on the smaller end? I used to buy things from Ali Express, and the couple of times I purchased shirts from them was a joke. They not only weren't the size they claimed they were, they were poorly sewn to the point you couldn't even put the shirt on. They'd sewn part of the sleeves, for example, more narrow than the rest of the sleeve. It was weird. Anyway, I have stayed away from Ali Express and anyone else like them as far as clothing is concerned. But, I have heard a couple of times that it's worth buying clothing from Temu. Have you gotten shoes from them, too? If so, how was the fit?
It's not you, it is definitely difficult to get the backs off of the stickers. I have had a few that I almost gave up on only to discover they were indeed stickers. Here is another tip: Watch for is the amount of items that is being sold. An example: a picture and description will show 12 items for $2.48 but when you are ready to put your item in the cart there are 3 different amounts to buy, 12, 5 and 2. The actual item on sale is only for 2 items. If you click on the 12 items they are $10.98, 5 items are $4.48, 2 items are $2.48. I have purchased a lot of Temu items that are absolutely worth the money. Thank you for mentioning that Temu sells items from other countries as well. We already know that purchasing from discount stores like Dollar Tree, Dollar General, or even stores like Walmart or Big Lots, that a large amount of the items are manufactured in China. What's difference between shopping online from China or walking into a discount store and purchasing products made in China?
Thank you for saying this! That’s exactly what I wanted to say in my video - Of course I want to support my own country. But even the things we’re buying that are made in the USA, often times in reality, are only assembled here with parts that are made elsewhere. Thanks for the tip on the quantities.
I have a terrible time removing the backing on any kind of sticker product from Temu. They actually don’t tell you if an item is a sticker or not. I’ve been fooled enough that I am no longer buying anything unless it specifically says it’s a sticker. I don’t care how much I like it… It Has to be labeled a sticker or a rub on.
To stop the shelf from moving past the stop when closing you could tape or glue a piece of thick cardboard or a paintstick behind the drawer to provide another stop.
Mini, hi sweetie! Yes to free stuff! Like I said before, I do love me some Temu - got two bags in the mail yesterday (craft supplies, kitchen gadgets, jewelry, shoes, and a dress) and am expecting one more tomorrow). I have found similar "sticker issues", but I think it's just me cuz I do that to myself on other sites as well. I agree with what you alluded to... Size matters!! ...so check the written description. I either need to learn to do the math (centimeters and millimeters to inches) or quit complaining because it's my own darn fault, right? ALTHOUGH!!! ...I used to look at pictures too (like the hand holding the beads in your order) and decide that way as well, but perhaps I shouldn't anymore. Regarding your vision... I still have a couple years on you, so in true "Mini" form you'll likely wait another several years before you succumb and get "real" glasses, but honestly, 🤓 it's not so bad. 🤓. Boy oh boy do we need to catch up! As a teaser, Travis is going to Indiana next month to see if it's a place we'd like to MOVE to, 😳 so yeah, we need to talk. You look mah-velous dahling, and I hope you are well. Big hugs, Mini, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗
Temu has great customer service, I received an acrylic item that was broken and they refunded my money the same day I contacted them. I did not have to even send the broken item back.
Nice! I'm glad to hear that.
I have found that some things from Temu screw and unscrew in reverse from the USA. So that might work for the brush cleaner. Love your videos!

And I really like that you can check for price adjustments on your orders for up to 30 days and get refunds for stuff that had price drops after ordering. Since I've recently learned that I've been reimbursed a couple of times. Thank you for showing your reviews. And yes to free stuff 😊
I think that is amazing too!
Great review, Norrine. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have ordered a LOT of cutting dies from Temu, and all of them have performed great. I also really like their hot foiling plates. Most of them have been very good but a couple of them that had small words weren’t has sharp around the edges as you would like but they were still nice and very usable. I’m a Teemu fan when it comes to craft supplies!!! Yes, the big name brands are great, but not all of us can afford to buy them all the time. I am for saving money wherever I can. 😊
The greenery is dried and I believe used with resin
I'm a seamstress and I just have the hardest time getting the backing off the Wondertape!!😅 I so related to you!! And I've ordered all kinds of sewing things and gardening supplies on Temu for great prices!! I learned to read it all Very carefully but really..so far so good❤❤
Oh Yes to the Cricut review
Thanks for sharing!! And I’m so glad I’m not alone
Yes drank the water and cleaned my brush in coffee ☕ . I'm waiting on my first order...
LOL, me too to the coffee! 🖌️ ☕😳😭
SOOOO glad I am not alone! LOL
I so agree with you. I'm 80 years old and could never use my phone to order on Temu. I do okay with their website which I look at on my big screen TV. :-)
Thank you for understanding!!!
That pen stand looks like the one that is made for the tombow dual brush markers. The long skinny brush markers people use for bush lettering.
It may be - they fit the best.

I’ve received one order from Temu and was overall pleased with everything I ordered AND yes, I struggle removing stickers from their backings. I think it’s my nails, manicured and a little thicker than if I had just my real nails. I use my siser weed tool to help me find a spot to start the separation.
, Temu. I have bought several items very happy with all I have purchased
I appreciate your telling us about your wins and not so winning purchases!! I’ve gotten a few things from them and for the most part they were good. You’re right about reading about the product. Many things do not tell you the size so you don’t know what you’re going to get. I found with shirts, that the sizes are all over the place and that you have to keep looking to find what they are made of. So many of the shirts I liked were polyester and they will not be very cool for the summer.
I’ve not tried the clothes yet…. Now I may!!!
For men's shirts I found that the brand "hardaddy" (which you can search for on Temu) is a little more roomy than other brands. I can't usually buy "off the shelf" because I'm rather big, but these shirts come in my size and are less that $15. In the US, once you get over 2XL the prices become ridiculous!
We just ordered some cotton pajamas for my Mum and they came, they fit well, were of good quality and were about $15 each.
I don't like to have to scroll down either, definitely a computer orderer.
Right? It's so much easier! LOL
Yes to free stuff! Thank you for your honest review of the Temu items. Your reviews are my favorite videos. I have received three orders from Temu and for the most part was pleased with what I got. I was disappointed with the sticky notes - the paper was too thin. I liked the earring backs, binder rings, journaling pens in 8 sizes, craft carousel/pen holder, velcro cable ties, identity protection roller (this worked very well), Kokuyo adhesive tape roller (I love the larger ones that I normally buy but got the junior size for my granddaughters and they work well), mini bag sealer (love this one) and a few other random things. I don't have a problem with buying from Temu. I understand the concern that they steal stamp and die designs. Obviously, that is wrong. But it is impossible to know that everything we buy is from the original creator. I'm a scrapbooker and support my local stores as well as online stores. But I enjoy buying some items from Temu and feeling like I got a good deal.
I have ordered all my die cuts from Temu. GREAT prices and they all work wonderful.
Awesome reviews. I use a pokey tool to remove stickers and stuff. Poking the shiny side it peels right off. Yes to free stuff. Thanks for the opportunity ❤
Great tip!
Yes to Free Stuff!
I love Temu but I have done the same as you and I have done it from my laptop. I just learned to check the description better. Thank you for these videos, I really enjoy them!!!!
Maybe in their "description" it should also list how old the CHILD is making your crap you feel you just HAVE TO BUY. Congratulations for being a contributing factor in some child's horrible life
Yes to free stuff ….I’ve got an order arriving soon from Temu so can see for myself any issues v bargain prices ! ❤
Have fun!
Yes to free stuff.
I also enjoy random stuff like small cleaning tools, gardening stuff etc.
Thank you for all your work on this informative video. I have seen all the hype about Temu but very leery of ordering from them. Maybe someday I'll bite the bullet and order but getting your take on the product is great. Love your videos always.
Thanks for another great Temu evaluation. They advertise so widely, it's good to know what to beware of & what works. P.S. Love your curly hair!
Aww, thank you!!!
Yes to free stuff. I'm super happy you showed the brush cleaner because I want one. I will add that to my order. I like Temu so far and have had no issues with anything I have ordered. I really liked that floral washi tape as well. Thanks for a great video.
You are so welcome!
Yes to Free Stuff
Thanks for the reviews, and I feel ya on the vision challenges!
Definitely like to see cricut item test / review ❤
Yes to free stuff.
I love how candid you are. I think I was get the washi and brush cleaner
The stickers have to be cut out individually and then take one corner and bend it back and forth several times to separate the sticker from it's backing. When you see how great they look on any project you'll appreciate the process 🙂
Glad to share this tip!
You are so real. Thanks! Pat yourself on the back whenever the critics chime in!
Thank you
SO glad you showed the brush cleaner! I’ve had that in my cart for awhile to really consider it. It’s not as big as I thought it was, which was one reason I was hesitating on buying it. Love that washi tape too!
Yes to Free Stuff! I'm waiting on my first order from Temu, Hope I'm as happy as everyone else
Take two small pieces of packing tape. Stick one to the front of a sticker like a tab. Stick the other to the backing and try not to let your two pieces adhere to one another. Peel away from each other to get them apart.
That is genius. Thank you so much for that tip.
Thanks for this tip, I will definitely try it out. I bought loads of stickers and had to give up with them. I now have some hope! x
Yes to free stuff.
I like the stencils and the paper pad. May need to check out temu once I get paid.
Yes to free stuff! I have also ordered things from Temu that were smaller than expected. Most things are fine, though. Maybe the garland and sticky notes were free gifts for making a larger order.
Yes to Free Stuff! I haven't ordered yet from Temu, but I will.
I use a Fiskars finger blade like an exacto . I discovered that using the point of the blade gets between stickers and backing paper REALLY well. Since I started using my blade, I have never had any peeling challenges =)
Yes to free stuff
I have one of those!!!! I'll try it out! Thank you.
Yes to free stuff. I just placed my first Temu order mostly for my house can’t wait for it to arrive Thanks for sharing
Put a small piece of double sided tape on a piece of chipboard. Press and rub that sticker sheet and then you can pull up the top layer easily
Great tip. Thanks 👍🏴
Love your channel. Yes to free stuff.
Yes to free stuff. Thanks for your review. I have same problem with not paying enough attention to size descriptions! 😂
I am SO glad I am not alone!!!! LOL Thank you!!!!
thank you for testing and showing us the stuff from temu i had a few things and was really impressed i would say yes to free stuff but i am in the uk thank you again for sharing your views xx
Yes to free stuff! Thank you for your honest review. Greatly appreciated!
I think the biggest problem people are having with TEMU is the counterfeiting of stamp and die sets. It happens on amazon too but not to the same extent. The stamp industry is struggling and companies are closing all the time due to waning interest and companies like temu, aliexpress and wish selling the same designs for pennies on the dollar and what shocks me is Crafter are knowingly buying the knock offs. That said not all products are sketchy but all of the sellers are painted with the same bush.
Most products we buy at any store are made in countries with lower labor costs with less regulation. You are buying made in China products in most stores so why pay more?
I get annoyed with the aggressive daily emails I get from TEMU wanting to advertise in my channel. They are getting lots of promotion by sending out lots of free product.
Ps I have that same die from stampin up/sizzix.
That IS a problem - thank you for saying it in such a kind way!
Yes! I am a cyber sec professional and don’t agree with Temu selling copies of pther designers like G45, Stamperia etc. Not all products are copies but some are and I wont buy them. Sad that many knowingly/willingly buy them. I’m a hobby crafter with no RUclips channel etc and find G45 etc papers too expensive for me. But I still wont support Temu’s copyright violations. PS: my 3 other comments here and other sites about this have gone missing! Strange but I don’t blame channel owners. Just weird imho. Happy safe shopping!
I haven’t noticed as much of this on temu as I had with Ali Express. But maybe I’m just looking at different categories now.
PS: I just noticed the OP. Hi Lindsay! 😂😂
Not only are they stealing designs they are using pictures from the company they are stealing the design from. The clear stamps are not made from the same quality materials. It’s disappointing that crafters
Are supporting these companies that are stealing designs.
Thank you for the review of Temu Craft Supplies.
Glad it was helpful!
My concern with Temu isn’t about where the goods are sourced, but the home of the company and privacy concerns about what the app is tracking. I don’t use TikTok either. I have the same concerns with other apps, including those based in the US, but it rises to a new level when the app is out of China.
Valid point
Temu is home based in Boston Mass.
@Jaden R. (J) Temu is a company owned & operated by a Chinese-based parent company. Similar to US-based companies (e.g. Nike), there are various reasons companies establish operations overseas (e.g., to better serve customers, cheaper labor, lower taxes).
Unfortunately, we live in an age where many companies are not forthcoming, transparent, & honest about their intentions. Although any US-based parent company could use consumer data it collects here and abroad for nefarious reasons, the original commenter was indicating a higher level of concern because a Chinese-based parent company owns & controls the consumer data collected legally or illegally by Temu's app. It's difficult to be certain that Temu's parent company’s intentions are honorable.

“Yes” to Free Stuff. I love everything I received from Temu and will continue to order from them.
"Yes to free stuff" I like Temu because of the low prices, free shipping, and their 90-day return policy. I only order the craft supplies now since I was disappointed with clothing and other items sold. I do not like the shipping bags, I would prefer boxes, but I get it trying to keep their overhead down.
Thank you so much! Ive been using Temu for over a year now and have not had any issues whatsoever. Customer service was great when i order a couple of things that did not work out.
I've had the same experience. Thanks, Laura!
Yes to free stuff.
I liked your reviews and heads up about being careful when ordering on a phone. The brush cleaner was really useful. Yes, I've reached for a drink from the water brush cup! I put it in a full roll of duct tape so not likely to knock it over.
That’s smart!!! Lol
Yes on the rainbow water drinking, As my old art teacher once called it. She encouraged us to use a closed bottle for drinking liquids and a bowl for paint water. Works well as i am unlikely to drink from small bowl..unfortunatly i did clean a brush off in my coffee once...was unpleasent.
Oh no!!!! I love that it has a name now. I'm just glad to find out I am not alone. LOL
Congratulations on your engagement ♥️♥️♥️
I'm loving the idea of the brush cleaner, my hubby paints a lot and there are always multiple jars and mugs of water about, though I suspect he would manage to knock this over too 🤣🤣
At least it would only be the little amount spilled!!! LOL
I Do Junk Journaling I have a lot of Issues with the stickers and some you have to cut around image and exact the edge 😢 They frustrate me. But Alot are easy once you figure out. Description is very hard for me also can get frustrating. But over all I order alot from them. I love ❤️ Temu. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year
I LOVES me some Temu!!! 🥰
(Especially for clothes, tho..)
Personally, i think the MOST vital step is to check the reviews- the overall rankings, the pics reviewers post.. Other shoppers will be EAGER to tell u if something is cr@p!!!
So are the clothes true-to-size or on the smaller end? I used to buy things from Ali Express, and the couple of times I purchased shirts from them was a joke. They not only weren't the size they claimed they were, they were poorly sewn to the point you couldn't even put the shirt on. They'd sewn part of the sleeves, for example, more narrow than the rest of the sleeve. It was weird.
Anyway, I have stayed away from Ali Express and anyone else like them as far as clothing is concerned. But, I have heard a couple of times that it's worth buying clothing from Temu.
Have you gotten shoes from them, too? If so, how was the fit?
Yes to free stuff. I have ordered a lot from Temu and for the most part am very satisfied.
It's not you, it is definitely difficult to get the backs off of the stickers. I have had a few that I almost gave up on only to discover they were indeed stickers. Here is another tip: Watch for is the amount of items that is being sold. An example: a picture and description will show 12 items for $2.48 but when you are ready to put your item in the cart there are 3 different amounts to buy, 12, 5 and 2. The actual item on sale is only for 2 items. If you click on the 12 items they are $10.98, 5 items are $4.48, 2 items are $2.48. I have purchased a lot of Temu items that are absolutely worth the money. Thank you for mentioning that Temu sells items from other countries as well. We already know that purchasing from discount stores like Dollar Tree, Dollar General, or even stores like Walmart or Big Lots, that a large amount of the items are manufactured in China. What's difference between shopping online from China or walking into a discount store and purchasing products made in China?
Thank you for saying this! That’s exactly what I wanted to say in my video - Of course I want to support my own country. But even the things we’re buying that are made in the USA, often times in reality, are only assembled here with parts that are made elsewhere. Thanks for the tip on the quantities.
I use my cricut hook, you need to do it on the back side and then the sticker comes off easily. Took me awhile to figure this out
Yes to free stuff. I love that you demo after showing the haul.
I have a terrible time removing the backing on any kind of sticker product from Temu. They actually don’t tell you if an item is a sticker or not. I’ve been fooled enough that I am no longer buying anything unless it specifically says it’s a sticker. I don’t care how much I like it… It Has to be labeled a sticker or a rub on.
To stop the shelf from moving past the stop when closing you could tape or glue a piece of thick cardboard or a paintstick behind the drawer to provide another stop.
Great tip
Mini, hi sweetie! Yes to free stuff! Like I said before, I do love me some Temu - got two bags in the mail yesterday (craft supplies, kitchen gadgets, jewelry, shoes, and a dress) and am expecting one more tomorrow). I have found similar "sticker issues", but I think it's just me cuz I do that to myself on other sites as well. I agree with what you alluded to... Size matters!! ...so check the written description. I either need to learn to do the math (centimeters and millimeters to inches) or quit complaining because it's my own darn fault, right? ALTHOUGH!!! ...I used to look at pictures too (like the hand holding the beads in your order) and decide that way as well, but perhaps I shouldn't anymore.
Regarding your vision... I still have a couple years on you, so in true "Mini" form you'll likely wait another several years before you succumb and get "real" glasses, but honestly, 🤓 it's not so bad. 🤓.
Boy oh boy do we need to catch up! As a teaser, Travis is going to Indiana next month to see if it's a place we'd like to MOVE to, 😳 so yeah, we need to talk. You look mah-velous dahling, and I hope you are well. Big hugs, Mini, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗
INDIANA?!?! Gosh - We HAVE to catch up!
Yes to the freestuff! Thank you for sharing.
Lots of counterfeit items sold on Temu. Refuse to shop there.
I never order off my phone or the app either. I always read the details at least 3 Times and read the reviews. Yes to free stuff. Thank you!
“Yes to Free Stuff”. Great video, I love watching your reviews !!
Yay! Thank you!
