Temu - legit or not?
 
Have you seen ads from **** on social media? Good looking accessories for really low prices. I’m sure all Chinese made but way cheaper than other Chinese made stuff. Legit or scam intended to steal identities?

Sure looks like a scam to me. I wouldn't use my credit card there.

I was going to buy some items just to see but thought better of it.

It’s advertised on solitaire nonstop. I know one person who uses it and likes it. I haven’t tried it yet.

I think it's legit - but the quality I'd expect would be super poor!

I tried it.

If privacy concerns you use Apple's obfuscation email addresses and Apple Pay.

My impression, it's like a marketplace for products you might find on an infomercial, cheap, not quality, but you paid pennies for it so you are not too upset when the garbage arrives in the mail.

I see ads for **** constantly on YouTube, I wouldn't buy anything from there, it all looks like knock off cheap junk.

Depends on what you're looking for. My wife wanted a sting of solar lights for the deck. Dirt cheap on **** and free shipping. Would i buy something that needs to be durable and strong? Nope.

I looked at **** months ago and didn't because of this article: https://time.com/6243738/****-app-complaints/

Has anyone here actually received their orders?

For now, I'll continue with Amazon, and I occasionally order from aliexpress.

Could use a Visa gift card if you suspect a scam.

No different than Ali Express, which I have used many times. Someone, **** or some other company, has huge warehouses in the US for quick delivery.

someone on ar15 forums posted some bluetooth earbuds that they were raving about so I spent the $8 with shipping on two sets

Arrived in about a week and were better than I expected

No spam to the email I gave them either and it has been months...

My wife has bought some cheap stuff from there for my daughter. That and shien.

epbrown 07-28-2023 02:13 AM

I've got multiple family members that buy from there, and they love it despite freely admitting the quality is a crap-shoot. They've never not received anything, though.

I bought some shoes. They were unbelievably cheap. I got what I paid for. Never again.

Tea Tray 07-30-2023 07:34 PM

My wife has ordered from **** about a dozen times. She bought some knock-off Crock shoes and she loves them. Most of the stuff is typical Chinese quality.
So far so good.
