Thanks for explaining all the stuff about Ali Express and Temu, you may start a revolution! And Temu clothing is such a gamble for me. I loved the fairy in the mason jar!
Hi Susie!! Thank you so much for this, I agree. I have never shopped Ali, but I'm going to check it out. Really pretty ephemera, I love the mushy washy tape and stickers. Thank you for this talk Susie, nice to see you 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am not a crafter, in fact I have no talent at all. I did find your evaluation of TEMU to be very informative. I am a TEMU unboxer/hauler but I agree with everything you said. I guess the things that keep me shopping on TEMU is the affiliate program, the price adjustment policy and the flash sales. I have looked at Allie express but have never bought anything. It was interesting to find out you received your Allie order before TEMU. Thanks so much for this well informative video. I really loved it 🥰 😊
Aww thank you so much Kellie. I was hesitant to post this and like I said I re-recorded it multiple times. Lol. But I have been feeling some things for quite some time and it was on my heart so I felt I should just share it and be honest. There's still much to like about Temu but some things have changed. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊💜
I don't know that you can blame the shipping all on Temu. Our postal service is a mess. We have a successful Etsy shop and if our orders go to St. Louis, they just stop moving. I haven't ordered from Ali yet, but may try an order to see how it is. Hobby Lobby and Amazon to me seem awful expensive on the same items I can get from Temu.
Well, in my case, I’ve ordered from Temu and AliExpress Choice program at the exact same time and gotten my items from AliExpress in about a week and Temu in almost two weeks. It’s happened at least 3 times now. And in most of the time, in my case, it’s because Temu is not shipping out my items for at least 4 - 7 days from the warehouse. For me, it’s been happening time after time that the delay is happening at the warehouse. If you do order from AliExpress, I would recommend ordering using the Choice program because if you spend $12 (I think) it’s free shipping and it comes very quickly. Thanks so much for sharing! I really appreciate it! ☺️💜
I love Temu, but I agree with your comments. I was a huge aliexpress fan before Temu and I have no problem buying from whichever company offers the best value. Great haul...I adore those mushroom stickers. Take care xox
Hi Amanda! Thanks so much! Yes I agree. I will go with the whichever has the best value, which lately has actually been Ali. But I will go with either one. Or whichever one has the item I want. I love the mushroom stickers too. 😊 Thanks so much for sharing. 💜💜💜
I'm an independent Temu buyer. No social media, no YT channel, or anything as such but love their crafting products. The prices are definitely rising daily. Hard to get a price adjustment anymore. I've had an order for nearly a month and only 1 price adj. came in and it was like .12c. The "Local" vendor format is overwhelming and way Overpriced. I am stocking up on the little crafty items that i can get at the lowest rate when I can now before it comes too overly priced. Temu will eventually become another unaffordable web based site.:(
Yes I didn't even mention the "local" vendor issue which isn't even a bargain at this point, I might as well just buy from Amazon. Plus you pay shipping. What's the point? Thanks so much for sharing. 😊💜
I agree with you 100% , on all of your points- I've been ordering from both TEMU and Ali, and Ali is faster for sure. A few months back when you were ordering resin caboshons, I wanted to tell you Susie! Look at Ali, they are so much cuter than temu! I have ordered 925 silver jewelry at low prices, and loved all of it- diamond paintings are so much better at Ali compared to Temu to. I order from Temu, but more at Ali lately...(their phone cases are endless!) I totally agree with you! Great haul! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing Lori! So glad to know I'm not the only one feeling this way. I can't believe how much faster they are. I will definitely be checking out more items on Ali for sure! 😊💜
Susie Susie Susie you are reading my mind !!! Shipping times are taking a month to get to me whereas in the beginning it was here I’m a week prices are up price adjustment are rare I’m here to say yes girl you are totally right !! Tfs
Thank you so much Lynette!!! I am so relieved to know I am not the only one that feels this way. Thanks so much for sharing! I really appreciate it! 😊💜
I agree about Temu. I have shopped there for a long time but I stopped when they took GODs word and twisted it to say something inappropriate. I had already noticed higher prices and I received items that didn't look like the picture. I haven't tried Aliexpress but I will give it a try. Love your honesty and those cute washing tapes and bird stickers. Have a great weekend.😊
Oh I didn't realize that. Thank you so much for sharing! I really appreciate it so much!! If you do try Ali, I'd love to know what you think! Hope you're having a great weekend too! 😊💜
I ordered from Aliexpress often before Temu. I shop mostly Temu but with their rising prices, I'm starting to comparison shop between Temu and Aliexpress and Shein.
I promise it’s not just you a lot of us feel that way. I’m pretty sure I know for a fact that there’s been a few times that I’ve ordered things and they’ve come damaged, but instead of calling them and asking to replace it or to get a refund I just pretty much just took the loss it wasn’t that much but still it’s the thought so don’t feel bad. It’s good to be honest. Continue being yourself and thanks for the advice.
I've been an Ali customer for 18 years, but periods I haven't shopped with them. Wish came out, but then they started raising prices and charging for shipping so I deleted that. Temu seems to be getting greedier the bigger they get which is sad they can't keep the quality of for their customers. I always compare the product I'm buying and usually both Ali and Temu have them, but it's much cheaper at Ali. I did notice Ali raised their free shipping if you spend $10 or more to $12 or more. I like Alis choice feature where they guarantee shipping within 8 days.
Wow I didn't know that Ali had been around for that long. That is amazing. I also didn't know that one of the Choice feature's was that it was guaranteed shipping in 8 days but that has been the case for me every time so that makes sense. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊💜
I get no coupons at all haven't for months and when talking to an agent they still don't understand you 🤦♀️ i am thinking of ordering from aliexpress 😊
Yeah I am very frustrated with the no coupon thing too Tanya. That was one of the main reasons I liked Temu so much and now it's basically non-existent. It's very frustrating. I would love to hear what you think if you do decide to order from Ali. Thanks so much for sharing! 😊💜
Hello, I agree with everything you are saying about Temu. I don’t shop like I did before, prices are much higher. I’ve never heard of AliExpress. I went over & checked it out. Prices are much better. They have new customers deals. I’m going to shop lol 🤪🙃
Hi Miriam! Thanks so much for sharing. Yes I have slowed down shopping on Temu so much and I have so much credit on there right now and I just still have not been able to find much that I actually want to get. Let me know what you think about Ali if you do decide to get something. I'd love to know your thoughts. 😊💜
I have ordered things from wish and ali during several years and it always take at least 1 month to get it, even now Im living in Sweden Temu always come faster and most of the time was cheaper I always check the diff places to see prices so this has been good
Aww thank you so much! I have never ordered from Wish. But I was very surprised when Aliexpress came so much faster than Temu. And I just did another order and again Ali came a full week faster than Temu. So it's happened a few times for me and I am surprised every time. Thanks so much for sharing! 😊💜
Yes my Temu orders are coming in slower still in before the date for the $5 late payment but pushing it. Yes aliexpress stuff has become better quality I feel and so quick they use to take forever. I buy from both apps.clothes are my biggest thing I avoid from both of these sites I’ve had to many misses than hits. Although I did just get a knitted sweater of Temu recently and amazing quality but it wasn’t a cheap one though but I think for the $40 it will last if I look after it properly it doesn’t feel cheap and low quality like a lot of the other stuff I’ve got in the past.
I agree with it being hit or miss with the clothes. I am going through my closet right now and I have so many clothes from Temu that I haven't really worn that I feel like I just need to go ahead and donate because they are just taking up valuable closet space and I am probably not going to wear them in the future so I just need to take them to Goodwill. But I do have a lot of tee shirts and stuff that I do wear a lot too. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊💜
@@retrosusie yer I’ve worn most of mine but they haven’t lasted very long looking good the material just gets Pilly or stretches easily. The quality isn’t that great I’ve stopped buying clothes as much and started buying more second hand good brands I know that last from either thrift shops or online like depop. Your welcome 🤗
My experience has been the opposite. I ordered twice on both sites this month. Both Temu packages got here before Aliexpres. Two of my packages from 2 orders(from 4 sellers) on Ali didn't get delivered, the tracking says unpaid postage/will not deliver. I've had issues on Ali before and customer service was severely lacking, so I'm not expecting much to happen. These 2 packages that didn't get delivered were ordered on different dates. I could see it happening once as a simple mistake, but twice in 2 weeks seems like a problem. This is 8 items not recieved. Won't be ordering there again. It does take a little longer to get Temu packages than before, but that's not on Temu's end. They ship packages the day after I order. I've noticed a delay in a lot of orders that I place even with American companies.
Thanks so much for responding. Were you using the Choice option by chance or not? I'm just curious because I have only been using that option. I know with Choice that it is guaranteed delivery and complete refund if not delivered in 30 days and refund if packages are lost or damaged. And that has been my experience. But I completely understand. I would feel the same way as you if I had your experience. I'm sorry you went through that. If you ever did use Aliexpress again I would consider using the Choice option. That's the only way I purchase. Thanks so much for sharing! 😊💜
@@retrosusie Yes I used the Choice option, I never pay for dlelivery there because it adds up too quick lol. I used to love shopping there, but it's not so much the money because I didn't spend much it's just disappointing because I really wanted the items I ordered and have not been able to find the exact items on Temu. I think they are older items not available on Temu anymore.
I agree with you totally, I have got them not giving me the five dollars fort them being late, I ordered thirty dollars from the vendor near me and they made me still pay shipping so I canceled my order. Then they gave me the shipping and continued the ordered. No I canceled the order. So I am going to switch, and see!
Oh no! See, you have to really stay on top of things and that's not right. And very frustrating. I would love to hear what you think if you do try Aliexpress. Thanks so much for sharing! 😊💜
I have heard other people talk about this and I try to remember to take a screen shot of the dates just for a record to prove it if that happens. Thanks so much for pointing that out and for sharing. 😊💜
I saw this predicted in a video last year. The presenter was explaining how companies like Temu hook customers by offering stunningly low prices and other perks. Eventually those prices increase and the perks start to disappear. I will no longer shop on Temu. It is not the bargain it used to be.
Yes I did see some of those predictions too and it certainly is coming true. I am shopping less and less. It just doesn't make sense. And honestly, I will even check on Amazon and occasionally it is even cheaper on Amazon now. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊💜
Temu is having HUGE problems right now, in Chyna. Their vendors are MAD because of their refund no return policy. I agree! Too many immoral folks , once they find that out ,, ABUSE THE HECK OUT OF IT!!!! And, One bad apple always spoils the bunch. And I do believe that is what's happening with them, for the most part. But I have had nothing but problems with them lately too. 😢
Yes I did hear someone mention that and I need to look into that more. And yes that is unfortunate. The whole thing is a mess. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊💜
Temu is getting expensive and slow, Aliexpress is only good when you get free shipping otherwise it is to expensive, i can buy things in my country for the same price than in China, it is such a pitty that temu raised his prices, and sometimes the quality is not that good anymore
Yes I completely agree. I only the Choice option when ordering from Aliexpress, which has the free shipping and also very fast shipping. Thanks so much for sharing! 😊💜
