[Misc] Temu shopping website.

With online shopping very much here to stay and companies like Amazon being a major player in the market has any NSC users used TEMU ? If so any advice and recommendations.

[Help] - TEMU - Scam?

Anyone seen these adverts for TEMU that I seem to have literally everywhere at the moment, including in the middle of every NSC thread. Is it a scam? I saw a garden strimmer advertised for £3.06p earlier and a pair of walking boots for 46p. Can be legit? Shop like a millionaire.

Yes used it . Cheap Chinese crap shipped from the UK . My original Lenovo earpods at 79p come with a free language learning module

Don’t you have to recruit friends to get any of the offers?

Like “my first pyramid scheme”.

Having lopped off the tip of my finger, I bought some little plastic finger protectors from them - cost me £1.49 for ten (various sizes, some too small), including P&P. Got more than my money's worth in emails telling me my order had been picked, they were on their way, had been despatched, were with the bloke with a van, had been delivered, etc., etc!
TBF, they did actually arrive. They must have spent more that £1.49 on emails though!

I have had a few things from them, its a bit like Wish but with quicker shipping and slightly better quality.
Stand out purchase was an Arcade Emulator, 1000's of games on a hdmi stick with 2 PS1 like controllers for less than a tenner.
I am sure there is a load of tat on there as well, but I have found it to be okay.

I’m getting bombarded with ads for (very) cheap fishing tackle from them………the vast majority of it looks absolute shite.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

More cheap shit to pollute the sea and land with. Great.

 

[beorhthelm]

looks like Aliexpress, Chinese factories and wholesalers direct to consumers.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Bought loads on there, so have a lot of my friends and family. Not all is pound shop bad, a lot is the same stuff you'd buy from other online retailers.
Unless you're one of 'those' people who won't buy China made goods......and have so much money you need to have named brands only, it's worth a punt for all the little nick nacks you need

 

[halbpro]

As others have said, it's basically the same stuff you get on Wish or AliExpress. It's fine for some stuff, like cheap notebooks or cleaning stuff. Generally a mix of fine and tat.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

Yep, used them regularly for past 6 weeks . Anything that's not 100% I've told them and got refund within 3 days . 90% of stuff has been fine including shorts t shirts etc .,can't go wrong for the money, but I'm not a slave to fashion..

I got the advert for finger protectors, does this mean I can pick my bottom without getting a smelly finger?

Don't get the ones for grubbing about in the garden....not making that mistake again!

Can i have a link to that please.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

Bought a bunch of stuff for £20. Could have lived without it all really but as said stuff would have cost 3 times as much on eBay or Amazon gave it a go..7 port USb port with individual switches for £2! Micro SD card reader AND genuine Lenevo 64gb card for £6 total. And a very usable thermos flask with a temperature gauge for £4. It even came with a filter lid for tea bags but threw it away not realising what it was!
Nb no instructions with anything..
Not that you don't need to install the app to still get decent offers and avoid all the spamming you get if you do install it

Bought a harness for my dog. The harness itself isn't bad quality but the plastic clips are useless. My dog had it off in 10 seconds.
