Me Too Temu

I just got a Temu order today. Placed the order New Years Eve, got it on the 10th. Not too bad.

I ordered a set of carbide wood turning tools, $42.47 for 4 carbide tipped cutting tools & two handles. They are very solid, steel with aluminum handles. They seem to be good quality, & if not the carbide tips are easily replaceable.

Been happy with the items I've bought. I won't download their App to my phone though.

I have two winter pull over shirts, one from Temu, one from a US branded dealer on Amazon, other than color and tag/label they are identical and the Temu was a bit less than 2/3 of the Amazon shirt. They seem wellmade.

I ordered a few items from Temu and was satisfied with them. The only thing I don't like is being bombarded with their adds which seem to be everywhere on social media. And I don't even have their app either.

Be wary of their tech stuff, electronics, memory chips, etc.

I just got the same order and found it to be very similar to much more expensive tools. So far I have been happy with my Temu purchases.

I predict that Temu will take over Amazone someday.

I agree. But amazon is nearly as bad.

Since I only do handyman type stuff on rare occasions, and never on something serious around the house, I tend to buy tools that are "good enough" as opposed to top of the line.
Now photo gear, I get the best I can afford and sometimes a bit beyond that.

I have purchased a number of non electric tools through Temu as well as some fishing stuff and odds and ends. so far so good but like others have said the adds get a bit old.
