I really am trying to support the American economy by purchasing "Made in USA" products, which are more expensive because we have to pay fair cost of living wage & can't employ 9 & 10 year old child labor like in China. I get it that some folks can't afford to pay more money for their goods. But if this kind of shopping puts USA made products & companies out of business, that could be the job that your husband, wife, son, daughter or friends need to have to support their lives here in the US. I'm trying to purchase better made, longer lasting items that may cost more up front, but won't be as much of a burden for our landfills in the future. Plus, probably another big thing to consider is the type of lack of honest from China on the chemicals they use & plastics that are banned in USA are not regulated the same. I a sucker for a good deal too ... but I don't think in the long run these are good deals. That's why this is a free country, everyone gets to decide for their own family & lives. Just my thoughts for my own home & family. Thanks for the review of the items East Idaho News ... you folks are wonderful!

I agree with you however, many, many “American made” companies have been allowed to operate in other countries. But, by having one small component made in the US, congress has deemed them to be “made in America.” While 90% of the products are made elsewhere, these companies have the privilege of being deemed “American” and are not subject to any foreign tariffs.

Technically a “power strip” isn’t required to protect from surges, it just extends the number of things that can be plugged into the outlet. A surge protector however does have to be certified and meet more stringent safety requirements so that normal appliances like computers, printers, TVs won’t blow out during a powe surge. At the very least you can tell a strip is not a protector if it has only 2 prongs 🔌. Also, from my experience the surge protector has a switch which has to be turned on in order to protect your stuff.

I placed 2 different orders from Temu and had about a 50/50 good/bad experience.

This was a fun video to watch. Thank you Nate and Kaitlyn. Personally, I will not be ordering from this sight again. Oh! By the way, EVERYTHING ships in the orange plastic bags so I would suggest not ordering anything fragile/breakable. Also your bag will come super taped up because all packages go through customs and are opened and inspected.

Also, obviously concerning, is the fact that our country is significantly propping up another country’s economy when our own is really hurting. With all that said, my main concern/question is “What is really going on with this company”? Perhaps an easy way to get millions upon millions of American’s personal info I.e. name, address, phone, Debit/Credit card info? Additionally, given the continuing and quickening degradation of the US and CCP relationship (or lack thereof at this point), it’s just hard for me to believe there isn’t more to this.

I got boots I wore out and the longer I wore them the more I smelled chemicals. I asked the worker at the optometrist if she smelled it and she said yes. I threw them out. My dogs immediately lost their toys. I read now on Amazon if any dogs items I buy come partially from elsewhere. You have to look hard and see if they are sourced in the USA and made in the USA. This is for treats and food. Lots of packages say made in USA but if you read further it is sourced in China. Brazil etc. And the smell on those items never goes away. I threw the boots out the door. It still smelled after rain and sunshine. And if the guy was that far away and could smell it that is worse than my boots. I wont be shopping at Temu. Our country needs to earn money . Im not helping China build weapons.

The sizes were pretty spot on and the quality was decent for what I ordered. It's only fair to say the dog jackets were a little small so I returned them. Customer service was fantastic.

After debating with myself for weeks whether or not to try Temu, I decided to spend twenty dollars just to see what it was like. The reviews online are mixed. So I picked out a few random items and ordered. It took almost two weeks to get my package and I got the same orange plastic bag. My order was much like Nate's. Most of the items are on par with what you would find in the Dollar Tree, but the quilted dog coat I ordered for my son's beagle was actually pretty decent quality. So, I really think it depends on what you order. They have so many items online that you can actually spend hours just looking. Would I order again? Yes I think so. I ordered some quilting clips, small clips that hold material along the edge for hemming, etc. These are the exact same clips that I paid nineteen dollars for on Amazon for about three bucks on Temu. So, you just have to use your judgement.

I live in So. FL and I have watched East Idaho News via KZbin channel. The Secret Santa give-a-away is a must watch during the holidays. I wondered about the quality of items on TEMU. Posted reviews reflect the same experience as yours. For me I always look at the origin country. I try to buy MADE JIN USA. 1) Because of materials used. Most countries do not have the same material safety as USA, e.g. lead based paint. 2). I also look at child safety inspection e.g. choking safe guards.and 3) I would rather pay more for products than fund a country so hostile to the US. China, in all probability, is using forced labor and unfair wages. There is not one product on their site that would justify purchasing from our sworn enemy.Good luck getting a refund.

Hi Chichil Timu. I love it. If you don’t know how to shop it, you will make you lose money, but I do know how for example if you want silver earrings or rings 925, and it’s legit, silver, sterling, silver jewelry, and cheap, very very reasonably priced. I love it. I have a learning with heroes that I have purchased. I T-shirts I purchased with logos pertinent to my field perfect. Clothing, blouses of linen and cotton. Beautiful bed wear such as blankets for babies beautiful soft made of bamboo and cotton. Wonderful. So many things tools for sewing that I might use around the house for example: Thermometer, dog supply, such as feeders, those talking buttons that you record with the dog, whistles, harnesses lead, sweaters, beautifully printed beautifully woven. Just so many things it’s hard to keep track as I do buy a lot. I love them. Yes, they are returns are free just put it back in the box in the plastic with the barcode that comes with it take it to the post office and at the post office scan the QR code that Temu sent for you for your return and it’s done you don’t do it you don’t write on the box you don’t put postage on the box the post office to print the label scan code that team sent you. Couple of days, got your refund. I’ve also gotten things that I’ve purchased on other original websites that now have their things sold on and they’re like third of the price of the original creators website. And they are exactly what I have purchased already. So fun. Don’t be skeptical just be careful and look at the content of everything look at the size of everything. Make sure it’s the metal that you want silver or or Sterling silver or stainless steal, make sure it’s cotton or linen and not 100% polyester. It’s OK if it’s 35% polyester 65% cotton. Read the reviews also they will tell you about sizing and look at the photos of the items that people have sent after they’ve received what they purchased. Really can’t go wrong if you do your due diligence. So inexpensive. I love it. Kind of addictive too but I think I finally reached my limit of of addiction.

I then started getting charged $80 a month from some where in Ireland that could not be explained. I went to the bank to see what was happening and it turned out that it radiated from Temu via Ireland. I had to get a new credit card and tell all my direct debit people about my change. I won’t risk getting anything else from Temu.

Thank you for that Information...there had to be some ...serious catch to such 'cheapness'.

[@Rainetree]

I've be told Temu has been designed as a cheap route to collect personal data for futher sale. A snare via garage sale quality items. Buyer beware your paying more than you think.

[@kathreensmith1421]

I have bought stuff from Temu and I love it. The price's are just right for me as I'm a senior citizen and on a limited income. When you buy $10.00 or more you get free shipping. It's a lot better than wish

The chemicals in your products may be killing you. Oh..sweatshop made so the poor prisons who made your stuff are still poor and dying from being in the muck that makes your stuff. Gross.

@@vickieyoung7122 he's right--but go ahead, support the Communist Regime that brought us COVID and is killing our children with Fentanyl--but hey, that plastic, flimsy POS you get is worth it, right?

@@joncrane7661 that is a very general statement and could be any product you buy in the grocery store, etc. Not sure which product you are worried about specifically, a coat hanger is a coat hanger everywhere, etc/

I had so much fun watching this. I’ve placed numerous orders with TEMU & have been pleased with all of them. I will continue to order. The app is so user friendly & I like the format. I have had only one item to be damaged during shipping & got a refund in less of one minute. I didn’t have to return item, so this was very nice & easy. I hope you two enjoy your items & thank you for sharing.🥰

de-fund China!

[@normaprestwich6774]

I have ordered several times from Temu, and have been happy with items for the most part. The extreme disappointment is their sweatshirts. I ordered several for Christmas gifts, and ordered three for myself because they were so cute and fun. But, when washed, the lining sheds and causes "pilling" all over the outside of the shirt. Looks terrible. Especially a mess when the lining is a lighter color or shade than the outside. I'm positively sure the cheap quality of the fabric is the problem. I'm so disappointed.

If you want to support China , maybe you should move there!!!

[@marlenepreston5406]

Im a big crafter. Most of the items are of quality material well worth the price. Their wooden items are smooth and ready to use . Ive ordered many buttons, wooden beads, resin beads and figure shapes, cloth material, scrapbook supplies. They also carry many different sized organizational closed boxes for craft items. I have purchased some shirts. I have found them light weight and comfortable. There are many different holiday ornaments and decorations decorations. Nothing has been late and despite package is not boxed, so far nothing has arrived broken.

[@laureljenkins1208]

Decent knitting needles etc. I agree

[@Kathy-g3i]

I got Alot of watercolor and acrylic painting supplies, scrapbook supplies,etc. love them. And I taught classes at Michaels,so I can compare them pretty easily. Plus I really like the " magic erasers", scrubbers too.

[@TruthInjections73]

I tried temu twice. Months apart. The next day someone was trying to purchase 800 to 3000 plain tickets like 10 times each. South Korea, China, etc..... so don't know if anyone else had this experience. But I did!

[@susangiffin4860]

I use Temu a lot and have heard of people being ripped off. I only use PayPal and have had no problem

[@debwiands5150]

Wow. Is this crap a way of them getting our information?

[@afemme3312]

I buy a refillable visa or green dot that's what I use for online orders.

[@Shianne264]

I use PayPal when ordering from temu myself

This was hilarious. Great party favors. I'm in the midst of packing up my mom's house for her to downsize, and the pile of bags for good will, and another for the trash, are huge. I'm not seeing a lot here that would have met the bar to keep. But again, hilarious. Thanks for doing this. I'd seen the ads online and was mystified.

[@vickieyoung7122]

Looks like $ tree stuff but fun to watch

[@lauriecraver9918]

I guess it depends on what you pick because I picked some long dresses to lounge in . Absolutely beautful! I have also gotten bras and panties that are beautiful swimsuits that were beautiful but they weren't the right side I had to send them all back

[@LindasCreativeHomelife]

Thanks - that was very useful. I haven't ordered from them. Usually I'm not happy with merchandise that comes with a bad scent. I know I can wash it away, but why does that happen?

[@sunnyskye213]

In my opinion, likely synthetics as well as chemicals... Also, frum experience any wearable feel horrible against skin; Why I am committed to mostly or All NATURAL FIBERS.....🙂
