How Shein And Temu Keep Prices Shockingly Low: Chinese Fast Fashion

[@c_cma1971]

:( very low prices means "economic slavery" most of the times. Hello from Bucharest, Romania - a huge underrated city in Europe:)

[@ECOSAM_]

While Shein and Temu offer tempting deals, let’s not forget the value of supporting our local Singaporean businesses! 🇸🇬💼 Homegrown brands bring quality, sustainability, and heart to every product. By shopping local, we’re not just buying goods-we’re investing in our community’s future. Who’s with me? 🙌✨

[@PrayForSG]

Yes

Correct

[@exploringapis4495]

Who cares abt all these? It’s all about price and quality.

[@ronaldtharappel5633]

The goal is to defeat Amazon. Then the prices will go way up.

[@user-tb9gq4mw2c]

Cheaper doesnt always mean better temu and all the similar sites will be rejected if they continue this business model

[@lastChang]

There are forced labor and intellectual property issues that Chinese 🇨🇳 e-commerce clothing, such as Temu and Shein, need to answer to customers and authority wherever they go.

[@American_Pariah]

It’s even worse than that. Just search for “temu clothing chemicals”.

[@theironneon]

Well, thats the real price is on another country, people in the us just got scam for more expensive for the same item all of this time

[@thee_others]

A change to the ridiculous $0 import tax law will destroy the business model completely.

[@manofthehour_]

These things break down after a few washes. Good for someone who always wants fresh pieces in their wardrobe I guess.

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

I bet those shirts will not last long. I have discovered a lot of my older clothes last a lot longer than my newer clothes. Clothes these days are not long lasting at all.

[@craigschuler7368]

And you get what you pay for! Cheap price = Cheap quality! And once they have your money no refund, wallet credit only!

[@fayea78]

Shein's refund policy is good. After your first refund, you cover $4 for the courier pick up. This is still helpful if I really can't accept the quality or size of the item.

[@JojoJoget]

By using slave labor, no leave, no MC. Just work. That what PRC ‘entrepreneurs’ expect of workers when they set up shop in SEA, they get mad when you utilize your rights.

[@thinking8736]

cheap means you spend more easy :) that's why ppl houses are becoming warehouses now

[@taylorembach8559]

I trust Amazon over Temu any day

[@silita6193]

the Chinese are brilliant business people

[@kam-j9s]

Until you personally go there and visit enough firms and document your own finding, please reframe from so casually saying Xinjiang Force Labour. Imaging your self a young Xinjiang person looking for job. No one dare to hire you for fear of being labeled as criminals. Journalists have the privileges that come with responsibility. Please go and find out. I look forward to your documentary in this force Labour topic.

[@ranojap5010]

most of the journalist like to framing just follow what the big mainstream news said?? logically now days force labor more expensive than using machinery?? somehow you have to give them shelter, food and people to supervise them , make sure they have to work accordingly ?? with machine work much faster, less cost , no hassle those shelter, food etc.

[@JojoJoget]

Lmao if the media is lying, why would chingchongs not hire them when they believe their own? You can’t even brain your own logic.

[@MS-vm4dq]

At the health and expense of low paid workers

[@MrGhostsword]

Chinese methods being applied to chinese sellers.. Who wins? the buyers. but not fair though :)

[@johnlacey3857]

Buyers do not win because the product quality is crap.

[@Nizam-l9p]

Temu totally useless because they do not shipping to Singapore

[@Kira-tb7jv]

Business now getting rid of middle man in ease of technology lol

[@Tanner-d1i]

Never.

[@GoCarlton]

Small scale = Counterfeit

[@alice_agogo]

Even $5 is pricey for me. I I buy used shirts for 26 cents 😀

[@tuapuikia]

I would rather buy from Uniqlo than Shein/Temu. The cotton quality is better than Shein's.

[@Kwunt-l3q]

Scamu

[@youllneverscrollalone]

oh pls...when their own ecommerce players feel the pressure....it be lawsuits, forced labour, n more. Americans just cant stand being the loser isnt it? when they win, everyone else must lose, it can never be a win win.

[@BTUK1]

How true. Can't beat Huawei so said that its equipment are used for spying. Same for tiktok, because it is more popular . The west says it supports open competition but when others beat them , they will say that they steal IP etc

[@smaugthemagnificent]

Well, if Shein/Temu don't like it they can just withdraw from the US market. Equally, China can ban Amazon and other US commercial players. Or? Which is it then, cause you can't have it both ways?

[@jo5128]

I come here to see the girl only 🎉
