Temu Ads Need Text

The only ads I get here are from Temu. Aside from women wearing tight clothing, many ads show interesting technical items, but they don't say what they are. I don't want to encourage Temu by clicking on the item, but if the customer doesn't know what's for sale, he's unlikely to buy it.

You must be a targetted Temu customer as you only see Temu ads.

I just read an article about Temu. Because their business model is to have millions of items shipped individually and direct from the (Chinese of foreign) manufacturer to the consumer, they get around US customs and tariff laws that only apply to larger shipments. They apparently have a far more lax manufacturer vetting process than Amazon and their customer service is largely nonexistent not even allowing returns. As you would expect, you get what you pay for, with TEMU which is not to say you can't get a quality item for a bargain but it's not very likely.

I bought one item two months ago, that $22 RC bulldozer. I guess I'm stuck with them for life.

Bought a few times from TEMU. Not the fastest, but cheap. Free shipping and returns.
Delivered late, $5.00 credit and if price drops difference credit.
And, you can use paypal.

I have watched several videos about temu and for most part the items are cheap junk. You get what you pay for. My wife ordered a cabinet from them and received a pair of cheap shoes that was junk.
