I have bought a couple of shirts and a hat from them. All 3rd world junk. The shirts took 3 weeks to arrive from China and the hat took about 1 week. All of the material used is extremely thin and the thread is cheap. I expect a few washes and they will fall apart. I bought the shirts for specific holidays and they were cheap enough so I can't complain too much. Shipping costs more than the price of the products. We need Made in USA on more tags.

IMHO it's a website to collect information. They offer junk at unrealistic prices to lure you in. The price of the junk they sell is just the cost of doing business. They bombard me on UHH with ads everytime I login. Steer clear of this Chinese crapsite.

But it's too late now that he is deep down the ocean now. I tried my best to talk people out of buying Chinese stuff in the early days when they had the option not to and the Chinese stuff were very bad. Today it's no longer a choice. I give up.


I remember when "Made in Japan" was a joke.

This Dell gets no ads on UHH, but my other computer is loaded with them, usually duplicates from Temu.

I don't think their spying on me would yield much! Lol.


Most of China's and Russia's "technology" comes from spying. Gradually, China is heading toward technological leadership.

Years ago, an American military plane made an emergency landing in Russia. They kept the crew for months, and the plane for over a year. By the time they returned it to us, they had produced an identical plane with Russian markings on it.

Yes and today you have little choice if you don't want Chinese products. So as I said it's too late now.

I've been hearing negative things about Temu, a cheap, Chinese shopping service like Wish. Take a look at some of the videos below and form you own opinion. I'm avoiding it.

AVOID TEMU! I ordered a few things from the company. Low prices, but the quality matched the costs. Junk. When I asked for return authorizations, Temu wanted a video of each item. I’ll never buy from Temu again.

So far what I said about Temu is only my opinion but as I research more about Temu it squarely aims at getting customers like Jerry away from Amazon. Temu does have the disadvantage of shipping but they have the advantage of being in the stage where they are willing to lose money to get the business.

....We need Made in USA on more tags....

A couple things I've bought recently proudly displayed an American flag
on the package. Then said...'Shipped from USA'
LOL.

I have used them and have had no problems. Watch what you order! My wife got a pair of capris from them for 8 and they are her favorite. I have also returned items and they were very helpful. The only thing strange about the return process is the want a photo of the item.

I have return a few items and yes they ask for a photo. I see the reason for this because they want to see that you really are returning the right item.

I have stayed away from Temu in spite of their many ads with super low prices. I just didn't want to have to download their app just to see what they had. So after the last "update" to my Galaxy S10+, I find that Samsung has added the Temu app to my phone along with 5 others that I have no use for. WTH?

So Temu paid Samsung to do that?
