I have to say I order from Temu all the time for my business. I have always been pleased with my purchases and when I haven’t been they’ve handled returns really well.

Haha I am the same way as you when it comes to gems, finding them, and wishing I could go right in and see them with my own eyes!

I’ve only ever been disappointed with two things. 1) not all clothing/ shoes are quality. Many of the beads don’t give an exact size. I ordered 2-3mm and got 1mm. Other than that, the quality has been very good.

I love matching Sultanite (the color changing/dichroic) gems with copper. Sultanite makes a great substitute for the much more expensive Zultanite. I have been statisfied with most of what I have received. You do need to be sure to read reviews, because some vendors are more honest about their products than others. I try to review most of what I get. If you see my name on a review, it is a straight-up, honest review.

I've ordered some tools and storage items from Temu that were exactly the same as what Amazon was selling for a lot more money! (and I have the same shirt you're wearing! 😂)

Do you know if they sell just the replacement pads for the nylon jaw pliers? I have the pliers & they are worn out & need new pads.

Next time you are cracking the agate nodules try putting the screwdriver on the sides where the natural cracks in the stone are and they should break open quite easily for you 🥰

May I ask why. I am nervous about ordering from Temu and when you watch videos promoting it. You kinda think it must be ok.

@shabanahussain4707 They have been aggressively advertising and astroturfing to give themselves fast brand recognition and "credibility," but they are an incredibly shady company. In addition to the terribly unethical business practices in general (exploiting vendors, CERTAINLY relying on modern-day slave labor to keep costs low, and polluting with reckless abandon), they could be a huge security risk for customers. The BBB has suggested that Temu could be a big risk for identity theft of customers, and they do participate in data harvesting. As well, at least in the U.S., Temu exploits import law loopholes to sell products that would not normally pass the country's health and safety regulations. Dangerous amounts of toxic chemicals have been found in products from companies like Shein, Temu, and so on. If that's not enough, many products sold on Temu are simply counterfeit. They are not what they claim to be. Especially in jewelry, it is easy to get away with because most people do not have the means to test if their stones are counterfeit, and hey, they got it for like $2 anyway so even if it is, oh well. This is bad for creators, though, who sell items made with these products, because it makes them seem shady to discerning customers as well. The company itself is built on an unsustainable business model that completely relies on high volumes of useless trash being sold as quickly as possible, and cuts every corner possible, often illegally and unethically so. It's a monster of consumption that does nothing but contribute to the further destruction of society and the planet, and I mean that sincerely. Put simply, if a deal seems too good to be true, it is, ESPECIALLY in the case of these ultra-cheap-product Chinese companies. It's truly frustrating seeing all these "influencers" fall so head over heels for such a disgusting company. Any quick google search can show a whole slew of problems and criticisms of Temu and the business model it uses.

They're sort of the art supply equivalent of fast fashion. The supply chain tends to be dubious from an environmental/ethical standpoint and the quality tends to be hit or miss. Personally, I tend to avoid shopping there, but if money is tight and you can't afford to shop elsewhere, it's fine.
@lynnthomas88488 ай бұрын
Where do you think beads stores in the US and other countries get their beads? Yep, China. I have never seen a bead marked as US product. Why not buy from the source and save a lot.
