Temu is a Chinese company, I would proceed with caution with your personal information. The $2 sunglasses may be a great deal but could come with a larger cost.

Ordered a few things from them its kinda like Ali except parcels would arrive the following week opposed to a month. There was also a mininum of $20 to spend before i was allowed to checkout. Just bought a couple of small items like shoelace ties, cable managment hooks, waterproof shoe cover, portable cable/charger travel bag and some kitchen untensils.

On Facebook I came across a ton of spam posts to different groups from Temu. I don't know if it was people trying to work the system for some referral bonus, or if it was the company that was behind it as advertising but either way it came across as being so scammy that I wouldn't order from them.

Total junk. I was not thinking when I order 2 pairs of gloves and walking shoes.
All three items were way too small, poor quality and not worth returning or keeping.
It took almost 3 weeks for delivery. That was a bad sign.
Went into the trash can. Avoid the temptation to buy.

I have ordered many times from Ali Express and Alibaba. It’s been hit and miss. The t-shirts, if not already too small will be after the first wash.

bought a few cheap watches. They lasted a reasonable amount of time.

bought some “fashion” rings to resell. First batch was exceptional... and I made some money. I changed suppliers for the 2nd batch to save a few cents a ring, and the quality was absolute garbage. I ate the $80.

I bought 2 Leaf jerseys. The Black Austin Matthews is awesome (though the logo is cheap)…. The retro Gilmour is terrible.

I just bought one of those pocket knife/screwdriver/pliers tool for $0.25. It is awesome.

You pays your money… you takes your chances.

Have ordered low risk Temu items.

Wife bought little triangle makeup sponges.
A whole bag full for what Shoppers would charge for 5 similar items.
They might only last half the use life of the SDM item, but at the price that was fine.

Then also some floating sponges for the hot tub. They absorb oils that come off of our skin, or ladies makeup.
End result is that particulate filters don't get oil plugged so they become harder to rinse out.

Name brand USA items that do a similar job go for $18, and we usually use 3 a year.
Temu ones don't seem to last 2 months, but I think we got 8 for $10, so no biggie on the shorter service life

Guys, Temu is like a Chinese Amazon. Prices are low right now because they are not interested in profits, but in building a large customer base, just like Amazon did.

For this reason, you will find incredible deals. Temu is one of the hottest apps being downloaded, and is wildly popular for a reason.
