TEMU E-commerce in Thailand now- Nothing to get excited about so far folks..

[redwood1]

I downloaded the TEMU app....to look it over.....

 

TEMU has a looooooong ways to go to challenge Lazada or Shopee...

 

As it is TEMU will never be more than a 4th place player, even behind the lowly AliExpress...

 

First they 100% must offer COD....Which they dont....

 

Second they must offer a wider range of products and offer more discounts....

 

The layout of the website is pretty good I like it....So thats a plus

 

Are they going to become a player in Thailand?......Or just stay some  tiny 3rd rate ,back water E-commerce site ?

 

So what do you guys think of  TEMU?..........

 

Are they the next big thing?..........OR............Are they a dud.......

TEMUs prices did not look particularly cheap to me.........

 

And like I said if they cant offer COD I guarantee they will NEVER be a E-commerce player in Thailand.....Look what happend to JD sales.......They bit the big one in Thailand because their web store was so user unfriendly.....

Had a look at it, and bought an item, out of curiosity.  Prices are much the same as existing platforms for comparable items and they definitely do not offer 90% discounts - the price you see on the description is the price that you pay but on the "Pay" page they show a crossed out heavily inflated "price" to lead buyers to believe that they are getting a big discount.

Agree.
I do like the online website and it's easy to navigate. 
The sizing of stuff seems to illuminate the guesswork and giving the models stats is helpful. For me, it's another source of online shopping.

Temu partnering with J&T transport in my area , what a disaster. So many claimed failed delivery attempts , which are all fictional, Temu hard to contact, so far all I could manage thru automated system. J&T very hard to contact, ordered on the 9th of August , still waiting. 

 

NEVER AGAIN.

Also be aware that if you paid by prompt / QR code, money will not be refunded to account, but will be refunded as TEMU credit.

I compared their selection of hard to find items, and they seem to be a good alternative if you can't find what you want from Lazada or Shopee.

Seems that TEMU has aleady their share of scammers.

J&T transport is absolutely the pits......I dread when I see a company is using them for my order.....Shopee or Lazada using them is just as bad...
