At their price, they are hard to beat.

I'm a repeat customer of Temu. Love them. Great deals. Amazon was asking 30 dollars for a pair of heavy duty multi purpose shears. Temu had exactly the same set for 12 bucks. I bought a second pair for my son for his work. Word to the wise, their kitchen shears are razor sharp. High-quality steel, very well priced and a little more effective than I expected.

Yeah, if I put Amazon affiliate links, I get a commission. Most of these were not similar, but the exact same for 50%-75% less. I can't see trying to get people to pay more so I can get a couple of cents. I received everything in one week. The only thing not as good is that you only get to mail back returns once per order for free. This order had 23 tems. Only one was not good, and one I realized was not what I wanted. I got to send both back for free. If I need to return anything else on that order, it will cost $8. It is still not a bad deal.

I hope that I will not have to work anymore one day. When that day comes, I don't want to run out of things to do because I don't have the tools I need. So, an extra 3-4 days wait to get 3-4 times as many tools is easy math for me.

I too tried them, almost laughing as I did it figuring I was about to buy another lesson. But I too was quite happy with the order. Have since ordered more "stuff" and have been happy overall. One pair of sandals were a bit small, but open in the back so I could still wear them, but other than that 100 percent pleased. I even purchased an off brand Arduino kit for 8 dollars (a real arduino is about 30, no kit). Got it in, hooked it up, tried a program and it worked! I immediately ordered 3 more lol!

Even their shoes are fine, comfortable and cool looking, for plastic shoes, hehehe, but sadly they don't always have my size, which are more or less showshoe size 14. They always have the standard up to US12 sizes. One thing, make sure you check that the size of new tool bits or cutters fit onto your power tool, as there are several sizes of the bore diameter for things like Angle grinders. Most of their amazing selection of grinder wheels for every material under the sun are the pretty standard 22mm size. I got a few that were too small, but my step drill bit will fix that for the plastic one, and the metal one was just a tiny bit tight, so a mini grinding wheel fixed it right up. My fault, I didn't pay attention. Similarly, I got a blow torch burner head for a few bucks and found it doesn't fit standard propane bottles, but later found it is the size for Butane bottles that are used for kitchen browning, which will be my main use, can't get that steak done fast enough. They are also more food broiling rated with super high heat output, so not for fine soldering and brazing. One reviewer had a good hint, was to take the torch burner off the bottle when not in use, so you don't have to rely on its having a good seal, and not leaking. Simple for something I don't use that often, at least until meat comes down a tad.

Thank you for sharing (what I have personally discovered as well)! TEMU's stuff is cheaper (i.e., less expensive) than Amazon. Love your side-by-side, split-screen comparisons. Free delivery and very quick too. They also have 30 day Price Adjustment Policy. I had noticed that a few items that I had bought went down in price. I followed their protocol and they checked by ENTIRE order (not just what I found) and refunded the difference. TEMU is also 'Customer Friendly'. My satisfaction is valued and NO hassles (unlike Banggood) on any item that doesn't meet my expectations.

I recently ordered a reciprocating saw and circular saw from them. Instructions are just not there...reason I am on KZread. I am pretty sure those tools are for people who already know how to use one. Not a 55y/o widow who knows nothing. That bei g said...I have ordered consistently over the padt year. My granddaughter is growing so fast. I get her cute quality clothes and shoes that doesn't break me. Garden supplies that was on Amozon for much less. I have only had a problem with a garden hose busrting. Everthing else...perfect. Shipping is free with guaranteed shipping period. You get $5 refund if not delivered in that time frame. And you go back during the first days for refund if the price drops. My sewing supplies have all been good except for one zipper foot. It would hace been the same problem if I had ordered it from somewhere else. So...for people who are ordering from Temu then selling it Amazon for 2x-3x the price...they are the ones who are making use of the American Dream.

China has some quality tools. Temu has a lot of good deals but not a lot of high-quality items. Most everyday items don't have to be high quality. They just need to work. For that I don't see the reason to pay more for the same item.

I just bought an aluminum router table from tamu and it works perfectly. Bought it for $30. Adjustable height and all the fixings. No complaints.

It's a sad fact that almost everything we commonly buy is produced offshore. It hurts to say it, but Chinese tool quality has improved, at least in terms of fit and finish. Chinese metallurgy is at best suspect and from personal experience I know they will substitute inferior alloys if they can get away with it. Ordering materials certified to a specific standard can be a joke, on the purchaser.

I agree. China doesn't have the regulations we do. They will make it as cheap as they can get away with. Like with anything if they know they will be held accountable to a high standard they can. For years, most iPhones were made in China, but you don't think poor quality when you think iPhone.

The quality is not good the clothes are very odd sizes they say go a size bigger but I would say go two because nothing I tried fit lol, there was a few things of my order missing I contacted them oh just take a photo of what’s missing ?

Great place to get cheap hardware like hooks, hinges and even knows. Thanks for your review, now I have to order a couple more things for the shop.

yes sir. i get all kinds of things from aliexpress these days. I always try to find what I need on Ali or temu before amazon. a lot of the times you get BETTER stuff for vastly less money. the only issue is the shipping isn't crazy fast and the returns aren't always so easy. but I've had only a few returns and they just refunded me and didn't make me send it back. just take a pic and write why I don't like it. And just imagine, these items are still sold for a profit. this same stuff costs a fraction of what it's being sold for on temu inside China. And these clowns in congress want to put massive tariffs on all this so it won't be affordable to us anymore. Meanwhile in China, they're living longer than we do in the US and most folks own 2 homes with little to zero debt. We need to fix ourselves before pointing fingers.

The report I seen that made me try TEMU said they are trying to reach a sales goal and don't care if they lose money doing it. The goal is by October. So they may start raising prices after that.

Price vs Quality, and which economic landscape you wish to support. Me personally, I try my hardest to buy tools that keeps American jobs, which usually means paying more. Americans helping Americans is a topic seldom observed or discussed. Everybody got to do their own thing and I judge no one, I judge myself and the actions I take. On ebay, I do the same, I try very hard to look and find products made by Americans in America. This is not an easy task because ebay will push the products it can make the highest profits from. Amazon goes above and beyond in hiding the location of the vendor and its origins. since manufacturing has been disappearing in America we are left with trying to support American companies that peddle items manufactured in other countries like Walmart, Amazon, and ebay. At least in those companies, there is an American employee working in some form or fashion. Etsy is an American company that seems to have more made in America by Americans.

@ShopRamblings

I agree with almost everything you said. The problem is that most tools I need are not made in America. Etsy was great. It originally was a place where you could buy handmade goods. Now it is full of cheap mass produce items that make it hard for craftsmen to get a decent price.

I haven't had any electronics issues, but I've been buying switching power supplies, led lights, and illuminated switches. They've worked excellently.

to be clear, amazon is running amazon out of business, even in the US... their prices have increased to the point of no longer even being competitive in most cases. not to mention the fact that the price of prime has doubled or tripled. they used to have good customer service, but removed their customer service number and you'll be lucky if you get someone you understand on the phone. honestly surprised they haven't gone to robots. they now have more knock-offs and chinese junk than actual products you might want to buy. if you're going to buy cheap chinese junk anyway (which is increasingly all you can find), you may as well buy it from the source and cut amazon out of the equation... i think i've bought $60 of stuff from amazon this year (all stuff i couldn't find locally). 10/15 years ago i probably spent around $600...

@@ShopRamblings well, i'm not sure that regulations are the problem. it's theft of IP. a US company makes something, it gets popular, and suddenly the exact same product appears by a chinese manufacturer at half the cost = bankrupt US business. until congress pulls it head out of its ass and actually legislates instead of collecting paychecks to bicker, this problem won't be solved. if one company makes an illegal knock-off, ban the import of that product. that might be the first step.
