There’s something bigger going on with Temu. If you look around you will find tons of people who have had their credit card or bank info stolen, some of them with Temu being one of a few, or sometimes their only purchase on the card. Either Temu got hacked at some point, or there is some active vulnerability.
Either way stay away from Temu, it’s like Wish but somehow shittier. If you want chinesium crap, just buy it off Aliexpress. Honestly Aliexpress is about on par with Amazon, at least their listings are a bit more honest, although figuring out how to navigate their poor search function is almost as bad as navigating through Amazon’s two pages of sponsored listings.
It was just a matter of time. This chinesium stuff is spreading everywhere. There’s new markets (like Temu) and then the old markets are now saturated woth people just relisting Ali stuff on Amazon, Etsy, Ebay, etc. Hell even some Aliexpress merchandise are just relists of another Ali or Aliexpress item.
I will say that sites like Wish/Temu have a devilishly genius promotion style. Always throwing coupons to get you to open the app, always having bundle deals, especially with free shipping. So much shit just getting bought to fill a cart and save on a virtual coupon. It’s kind of genius, oh and because each individual item is so cheap hardly anyone ever returns things. It’s a brilliant business model.
Yeah, true. I just wonder why the US government wanted to ban tiktok, when what sites you mention do is much, much worse. Guess size matters, they are much smaller than tiktok
Chinese app… doing spyware???
NO WAY DUDE THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE

Never in my life would I imagine hearing “worse than wish.com” but here we are
