anyone here bought from

****?

Some excellent pricing on a number of things I've google searched recently. Etsy too, but **** seems to have more tool, dude stuff.

I'm reluctant to register cause it seems like a ticket to email inbox spam and endless BS via text. anyone?

I’ve always been wary of T*mu. Ms Rocket has either bought from them or looked at their website, and she is bombarded with emails. Of course, she won’t let me touch her phone to block them and similar websites.

I've bought some tool stuff off T. Quality is decent, probably on the same scale as HF. However, once you order from them prepare to get bombarded via email and text about new offerings. This happens several times a day.

Isn't Teeemooo like most other online stores that allow you to choose your communications? I'll ask my wife how much junk mail she gets.

I buy lots of clothes from Temooo and Sheeen. Price is good, returns are easy, quality is typically meh, sizes can be laughable small (XL = 28" bust).
By comparison, dept store quality isn't much better, but prices are phenomenally higher.

I bought a couple things from Ally Express. I was impressed. I expected fraud and mostly junk. I got some legit Panasonic batteries and a quality-ish light.

I’ve heard horrible things about their clothes. Aren’t they notorious for using Chinese slave and child labor?

To date, my thinking about that place has been "no way in hell".

This. I have never visited the site, and I have zero interest in trying.

I've seen normally terrific vintage watches on there in beautiful condition selling for 1/10th of what they're worth, so I don't trust that site.

My wife bought some clothes for the kids. Fast fashion. China. Skirting importation laws. Something about less than $800 shipped to some location that then ships within the US... Haven't really delved into it but I'm sure someone will wise up and close the loophole.

Precisely. "If it sounds too good to be true...."

I suspect all clothes are made using slave labor in Asia. Retail price varies depending on retail channels.
