Temu? More like Trashmu.
It's the same low-to-medium quality crap that you can usually find on Amazon at a slightly higher price.
Reason why I only buy at AliExpress and only stuff I don't ingest or wear on me for longer times.
Yes!
This is the way. Why pay double for eBay or Amazon to ship me stuff from AliExpress anyways for like 5 day faster shipping at best.
But only for the same garbage that they will sell anyways. Shoes are leather and can be fixed and have been at a cobbler for like $40 to new. Clothing should be bought once and last at least a year if not much much longer. So I buy from better brands in person if possible.
I don't get why I should pay Amazon to be a shitty middle man that is trying to destroy the world more for my crap.
I only buy reputable brands from ebay or Amazon. Ingestible stuff usually locally if possible.
I bought from eBay recently and I got a package from Amazon. I don't buy from either anymore.
Exactly this. People shit on the Chinese companies, but the American ones just rip us off with the same product.
