Summary

  • A writer decides to test Temu (an Amazon wholesale alternative) out, ordering a bunch of cheap t-shirts that ultimately arrived late and in poor condition, and were easily torn in the washing machine
  • Their free gifts (mini figures) never arrived, and upon investigation the seller no longer existed on Temu
  • The writer had expected these issues, having seen numerous others have similar problems through reviews and experiences of others
  • They also spoke of the trouble with the Temu mobile games, which Temu uses to incentivize users to keep coming back, with the writer finding these to be manipulative
  • Their conclusion was that while some have positive experiences with Temu, its history of scamming and soliciting others’ personal data means that they feel it is too much of a risk to use
