Temu online shopping App

[banglay]

Hi All .  I would like to know if any of you guys have used the Temu online shopping app?   if so what was your experience (good/bad or indifferent)  of their  service .  speed of delivery  after service etc ....I usually use Lazada/Shopee  .. but it's always handy to have another choice as a back up 😉

Cheer in advance 🙂

Excellent service, can track orders, COD can't fault it.

Ask on Chat GPT or similar. Says 'up to 90% discount'.....discount off what? Or will the prices now be going up by 104% Mr Trump?

Dodgy quality, long delivery. Stick with Shopee or Laz.

As you can with the other two in Thailand.

My Mrs uses it and has had mostly very good delivery times. As for quality, many of the items are produced in China and many are the same on Lazada that are on Temu. So you take your chances really. Free shipping is often available as well.

Not used yet but Aliexpress is slower than Lazada and tracking not as good.

 

Can you get delivery discounts on temu easy?

Many items have free shipping but it sounds like there can often be a minimum spend to qualify.

I just had a look, golf shoes, the low price entices you in, then you select your size and the price jumps, annoying trick repeated on several items, shady Chinese sellers

Ah yes, as shady as they come.

I've just consulted with my global shopping guru again and she says, that is often the case but the prices for bigger sizes of clothes, shoes etc. don't seem to be unreasonable.

Exactly, I use all 3, depending on the price, never had a problem with Temu and I order alot of motorbike gear from them, delivery time no difference from Lazarda or Shoppe, ordered motorbike boots delivered in 6 days, excellent quality as well.

Shipping cannot be free. Who pays for it?

Xi maybe, how would I know, but it is for a minimum spend amount, which I added in my last post, I think.

Go on the site and check it out.

It comes out of your minimum spend.

[Sierra Tango]

Most likely.

      I've used Temu a number of times.   As others have mentioned, you can track your order.  I just ordered several items and I received emails as to the progress of my order.  The items were supposed to arrive on the 21st but I got them yesterday.  

     You do need to be aware of sizes and dimensions when you order.  That would be my biggest caution.  I find that to be also true for Lazada and Shopee.    For example, I've been shopping for a shoe rack bench and some of the photos will show a bench holding 8 or 10 pairs of shoes on 2 racks.  When you look at the dimensions, the item is just 60 cm wide--no way could you get 8 or 10 pairs of regular size shoes side by side on 2 shelves just 60 cm wide.  Also, some items require assembly.  

    I wouldn't use any of the online services--Temu, Lazada, Shopee--for some things but I've been happy with what I have ordered using them.  I use all three and order from the one that comes closest to what I am looking for--at the price I have in mind.   With Temu, I have ordered such things as decorative pillow covers, woven baskets, storge containers, art prints, picture frames, decorative picture hangers, etc.  

    I think all three are great for finding things that might not be readily available locally.  I mentioned ordering baskets--there was a huge variety to choose from and I was able to find the exact size to fit a shelf space in a new house I am furnishing.   Ditto for art prints--a huge variety in all sizes and subjects.  I can spend hours looking through them searching for just the right ones.   In our current house, we ordered some of the ceiling pendant lights and floor lamps on-line--again, there was a huge variety and far more to choose from than what was available locally.

I mainly use Lazada and Shoppee, and I've never had any trouble with either. I've even returned some items for a full refund.

All I ever see of Temu is ads featuring half-naked women in underclothing.
