OK thanks for info - I hadn’t seen the other comments. As far as Temu goes they seem like copies of products where the originators have put money, design and time into producing quality products. To just rip off others designs with cheaply sourced materials and poorly paid workers just seems wrong on so many levels. I often wonder if it isn’t a way to launder money and sell credit card info to other nefarious entities.

The difference in products from China sold in stores is that many imported items require that a tariff is paid on the import. It doesn’t change the forced labor situation, but it does help give US manufacturers some equality.

You spoke my thoughts about TEMU about Labor conditions I try to go to thrift stores ,garage sales and estate sales to cut back on my buying new from China. I can find too many lovely items at these locations that keep me from needing to go to box and chain stores. Advertising make us “want” so much more that we really don’t “need” I think about our garbage disposal sites! Seriously a major problem. BTY… I love shopping too but…my conscience 🤷‍♀️

I am angry because someone got hold of my debit card and used it on Temu. I have no idea how, but they charged $135. It's been a month and Temu still won't give it back. I had to get a new card, of course. I had it in my possession all the time and have never even been on their website. You make a good point about China. What makes me mad is because we even get most of our drugs for prescriptions from there. We need to make our own here in the USA so we won't have to depend on China!!!

Your debit card bank should refund that fraudulent charge. My debit card was stolen (along with the wallet) and 3 charges made using it before I realized it and cancelled it, and all refunded. The bank said without the pin it can still be used as a credit card. Of course, another card with new number was issued to me. Ive also had my visa credit card number used without the actual card being stolen, and those charges were all reversed when I contacted my credit card company. Our numbers are out there online at times because of leaks from various companies that have occurred. It's been in the news very often.

I don't think folks really understand the issue fully. Just because a retailer is charging you a higher price for something does not mean that their suppliers have any better labor conditions. The price you pay for something is no indication of how the labor force making that product was treated. It's actually worse that most retailers in America are sourcing their items from the SAME factories in China and charging a ridiculous markup. At least Shein and Temu are not charging that crazy mark-up. Please don't be fooled because Nordstrom charges more! 😉

I’m older and recently moved into a cottage and I did not have a lot of the silly little odds and ends. I needed to fix and repair things. Temu has been a wonderful resource especially for things. I would only use a couple times. I’ve also ordered a lot of things for gardening that cost 10 times as much here like Velcro ties for my tomatoes. My son is going to cut down a sumac tree and couple of other 3 inch stumps for me and we didn’t have a saw. I was able to get a fabulous one for seven dollars from Temu and after that will probably never use it. I have not had the problems with ordering that I hear people talk about and I order such cheap things that I don’t even waste my time sending them back, not that I’ve had to. Only once something didn’t come and I notified them and they credited me so I’ve been very happy with Temu for my needs . I certainly wouldn’t order jewelry or clothes but for a little odds and ends around the house they’ve been wonderful. I don’t mind ordering from China because I think I’m ordering from the little man who is struggling to make it and my not ordering is not going to help them at all. Everything we buy practically is from China now. We have made them wealthy and it’s our fault. Hurting the little man is going to have no effect on that.

Patty, to be honest, the “Gold” set reminds me of vintage Foil jewelry and this version is very attractive on you. Given the right outfit, it would look great on you. I would say it looks more like a reflective shiny yellow color, which to me, looks more acceptable than an attempt at being gold. I liked in on you. I could see it presenting on black, navy blue or royal blue, very well. The silver version, I see presenting very well on pure white.

I've only ordered from TEMU once with no problems. Not sure I'll order again. The pin does look vintage. My mom passed away over 50 years ago and I have her pins which I love and wear and your green pin would fit right in with my mom's pins.

I've ordered some items from TEMU and have been happy with most of them. I recieved my package in 10 days from the day of order. All of our stores in this country are selling everything practically from China and India. We make very little in this country unfortunately. I worked in retail for years and years in upscale department stores and Walmart,,,all of them were selling items from China. It makes me sad that most of our factories have closed. Do you remember all the clothing factories and textile factories in the 70's and 80's? So sad!!

Love the gold set on you!!!

We spend the winters in Naples and it’s so happens that two ladies that I follow on KZread live in Naples and I met both of them for lunch on separate occasions. one of them two times and the other one once. It was a lot of fun.

Hi Jill, how's your day going with you?

You are just a breath of fresh air! You had me laughing and giggling just listening to you. You are hilarious. I love how you talk to us like we are lifetime friends.

I love you... you remind me of my sister... she loves jewelry... and it doesn't matter how cheap it is... if it's pretty, she loves it..

Thoroughly enjoying your vlog Pattie. Thank you. I’ve bought only twice from Temu arrived within a week and okay but I was warned by several members of my family about people stealing card details etc so no more Temu for me closed down my account. ❤

Patty! I am loving you! Gaudy and questionable etc. you are so much fun! I thought the sunflower set looked cute on you.

Holy cow the Christmas wreath earrings almost look like a wreath for the front door, couldn't imagine wearing it!

One thing you need to be aware of is that jewelry can be very dangerous because of cadmium in the metal alloy they use, they do not have safety standards as we do. Clothing can also be contaminated with chemicals and dyes that you do not want leaching into your skin! This was a very long winded video but there is a lot of curiosity about Temu so you may help someone decide!

I know this won’t be popular, but I’ve had good luck with TEMU. I need to stop going to the app. I’m out of control. Great video.

That thin gold set looks great on you , it brightens up your face wonderfully.

I have never ordered from Temu and I’m skeptical to do so!

Temu will “trick” you with their photos…items always look way bigger then they really are. I’ve learned how to study the pictures, check the measurements, and looks for reviews that include photos. I’ve had really good success on some items, while a few other items were duds. Too cheap and/or not what I expected. I think it’s always been a wash for me, though. And I really think I’ve saved a lot of $ on the exact items I would have seen at USA stores!

@@VelveteenRabbit77 I always look at the measurements and sometimes have to order a few sizes up. But they will promptly fife your money back or credit your account if anything is broken or you just don’t like it. I tried to get a return on a few things that I mistakenly ordered 2 of and they said to keep them! I love Temu, Light in the Box and Shien! I’ve had no issues with them at all.

Chinese are smaller and sizing is smaller. Been like that forever online. Every store you walk into is Made In China and the same places are making it. Very little to find not made there.

Loving your hair color. Really brightens your face and suits you well❤

Thank you for showing this and hopefully saving others from same mistake. I bought 3 tops and 2 dresses impulsively from “Nora-Cora” a site that popped up on my phone. Came directly from China, couldn’t even read the return info in tiny print with some Chinese lettering. I was disappointed and laughed at myself for doing something so wasteful. Nothing looked like the pictures and quality was horrible. Actually tossed it all. Let’s all try to save ourselves from the CCP! Patti, thank you for being you.

Hi Dani...first of all, welcome! Please Please Please....if you have any interest whatsoever go for it. Now you can film and edit on your smartphone. It costs you nothing to actually post videos on youtube as long as you follow their guidelines. I was the oldest person in the beauty community when I started! p

I just received my first order. I must say I didn’t spend much until I saw merchandise and service. 2 of 4 items are junk reminds me of something you would get at a carnival! However I ordered a t shirt..I went by the size chart when I looked at the shirt I thought this is huge then tried it on and it fits great! I washed it and it really is very nice. The fabric is 35% polyester 65% cotton has a very nice feel to it. I paid through PayPal. I have deleted the app until/unless I order again.

You are so beautiful! This was fun to watch. ❤

I am enjoying your videos, sending love and light💥 from Florida.

I have watched several influencers that show Temu products and they just rave about the products. I just don’t understand how the quality can be that good for the prices they charge. I have not bought anything from Temu…

I have purchased from them and to be honest the quality is excellent. The clothing is fantastic and very well made. I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to purchase four outfits at a price I would have paid for one at Woman Within and the quality is supervisor to WW. The wait was only nine days for delivery but shipping was free. I will order from them again.

I was surprised at the quality, for the most part. A few things reminded me that you get what you pay for, lol. You just have to remember that if it's too good to be true, it probably is. You are not going to get "designer to fool the masses" for $1.98 no matter how good the picture makes it look 😂

@gabesmom5615

Жыл бұрын

Because there is no overhead. Most of the stuff is just that cheap to make. And chances are the exact same items you can buy around here, that has been marked way up. If you expect designer quality then you are crazy. But stuff than can be purchased at local retailers etc are the same.

Thank you Pattie
