I’ve bought only one thing, because it came up in a product search; I liked the design, and couldn’t find it elsewhere, so I ordered it. I wasn’t looking for a deal - I literally couldn’t find this thing elsewhere. While it was inexpensive, it was also cheap, and the quality was not worth even what I paid.
That was my introduction to Temu. Since then, I’ve looked for other things which I’d been browsing on Amazon, and which I’m pretty sure were made in China anyway. The price difference has been negligible, the options fewer, and the shipping on that one thing took so long that now I doubt I’d buy anything else from Temu.
I’ve bought stuff directly from Chinese manufacturers and been very satisfied, but never because of cost. Quality stuff from China (e.g.) is – IME – of comparable cost to what you find from US companies.
Eh. I didn’t personally find that the upheaval added much, and it interfered with my muscle memory working with FHS systems… which are everything else. It didn’t add, like, BeOS-levels of drastic benefit in exchange for being so divergent. And it obviously never caught on anywhere else.
Will someone finally explain the difference between Venom and Swarm Spiderman? Because they look the same (or would, if the Swarm had ever taken Parker).
Contactless payment works only half the timeon actual registers. What magic do scammers have that makes their readers work so well, and why aren’t stores using it?
