One must remember, if you're paying peanuts... So, keeping that in mind I didn't expect much from my 1st order. I thought, even if it's 'tat' I've only got myself to blame. Well, it's nice to get all my items in the parcel within the given delivery time. What cost me £25 or so would've been triple elsewhere. With that in mind, I ordered again, this time some clothes. I'm tall, and Asians are pretty short, so it's no surprise the trousers didn't reach my ankles. But mid-calf is okay, for the price, and it's summer, so... Not sure about winter trousers. All the items I bought were there and early.
I don't click on 'flash ads', pop-ups or 'you have won'. Temu wants you to spend more, which is just marketing and understandable. That said, I've bought bits and bobs I don't really need but treating myself a bit, for a change, without going into debt was nice. My 3rd parcel, due soon, has a beauty product. Not my usual online buy so I'm curious how it'll work out. I won't be miffed if it's crap as it's been 5 star so far. I haven't had any issues so no need to contact Temu yet.
It amuses me when people pay a tenth of the price and then complain. Pay ten times more, then complain. Though I sympathize with those who've had incomplete or undelivered items. I've had that thrice in the last two years with Amazon. Is it worse because it's cheap? To me, it's the same. The Temu logistics manager must be good. I don't envy him/her.
Final thought: I expect Temu sources from companies that use cheap labor. So do Primark, H&M, Monsoon, and many others. Their profit margin is likely higher too. Cheap labor: would you pay £10/h for all your clothes? Most wouldn't. If you object (I do), you can't shop anywhere. It's cheap labor, but it gives a small income to many. Where else would they earn? Probably nowhere. If everything was 'fair' overnight, the planet would be strained. Not nice, but that's how it is. I can't change the world, neither can most of us. That's up to 'leaders' and those in power.
In conclusion, some have had bad luck, expected given the company's size, and others, like me, are happy as Larry.
