Temu

I have been buying stuff only on Temu for a few months now.

I bought stuff like super great 5 t-shirt pack for 24$. And many other shit. Fuck it`s so inexpensive.

I found the same pair of shoes I bought for 21$ CDN at 79$ US on another website (via publicity from CNN website).

I bought a chef knife, iPhone cordless chargers, cast iron pan... Even soccer jersey! All of good quality and such low price. Only drawback is long delivery.

They will kill all commerce, even Amazon, with such prices!

How the fuck can they do it? Are they running at a loss to steal all our data or something?

They're cheap because they're a Chinese owned and based company. I believe they are indirectly controlled by the Chinese government so it's possible your personal data could be compromised.

Found lots of good answer here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEconomics/comments/1d2j7ng
In the meantime I will continue to buy my stuff there. I like their fucking price. My data is already all over Apple and Google...

For the very few things I buy which is quite rare anymore I look for deals closer to home even Amazon and not a fan of long shipping delays.

We have bought some hot tub oil absorb floater sponges from them that were cheaper than the US similar product, but were crap and fell apart in a few weeks of use.
Another buy, Makeup sponges though, my wife is satisfied.

If it is low tech, IMO 50% chance it may be suitable if TEMU sourced.

I would check to see if those chargers are actually UL or CSA approved. Lots of known issues with crappy no name chargers from China being fire hazards.

I’m a firm believer in that you get what you pay for! In other words, don’t be cheep!
