I've had a few kits off Temu.. I live in cyprus . And all are original proper kits . Perfect . And fast delivery for cyprus 2 or 3 weeks .. no import tax or duty tje price on screen is deliverd ... will use alot and save a fortune .

[@grahammoore24]

You're quite right about retailers delivering some models unprotected I had a model kit delivered by Amazon and it was just a label stuck on the actual box and it had been crushed! Fortunately none of the parts had been damaged

[@RWHobbies]

Frustrating hey?

[@grahammoore24]

@@RWHobbies yes indeed.

[@collywolly4409]

Because of that I always tick the box for it’s a gift, then it gets boxed instead of bare and open to spoiling.

[@gerryorourke7122]

we have never had a successful delivery when it comes to things in boxes. Everything has been crushed or broken. We even had a parcel that was wet and it hadn't even rained. However, we have had success with soft items

[@eugenemonasterio2024]

My experience with TEMU was good. Delivered in about 3 days. Yes they do keep sending emails for extra discounts etc etc on other products but I just put them in my spam envelope and don’t worry about it.

[@RWHobbies]

Glad you had a positive experience. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and sharing your feedback.

I love temu I get alot of my dispae and hobby tools from there and gotten alot of cool meng and other brand models too, normally get it between 5-10 days

[@jprules2578]

Well, I'm jealous. You got a pretty good haul there, but I will not do business with Temu. Heard too much sketchy info on them, between items shipped and personal info gathering. The Meng Phantom is actually a pretty good kit.

[@arohk1579]

I have ordered a few kits and lots of supplies from there. Seeing as there is no shipping cost and it generally takes about 2 weeks or less to get to me here in Canada, it's hard not to get them.

[@RWHobbies]

Yep. I have used AliExpress before. But since Covid they went from free shipping to $30-60 a kit. Which is ridiculous.

@@RWHobbies exactly.I recently ordered a mech warrior kit. It was awesome and cheap.

[@pawpawstew]

I'm glad the transaction turned out well for you. I'm personally hesitant to share my personal info and credit card info with the likes of Temu and Ali Express. However, if others choose to, that's their perogative. I'd rather support domestic (US) purveyors, whether that be my local hobby shop or preferred online retailers. I'm perplexed as to why Border pursued 1/35 for aircraft for the reasons you state. Of course, I'm also perplexed as to why 1/32 didn't catch on for armore years ago, since it's just a wee bit larger and keys in with 1/32 aircraft. It is what it is...

[@jeffholt9437]

3 issues with the likes of Temu and Aliexpress:😢 1/ Never sure if these models are authentic - obvious when the model is tuppence ha'penny but not so when nearer the expected price 2/ The search function for both sites is terrible - imagine how much they might sell if this worked properly... 3/ how many times have you clicked on a link because the price looks great only to find that it was for a different kit (multi listing) or the price AND postage have magically increased?

[@muskokamike127]

I have found over the last 2 yrs that search engines in general suck donkey balls. It seems companies hired the same 2 people do program their search engine and they don't have a clue what they're doing. Seems google hired the same 2. Search Bosch router HSP192 and in your top results you get McCullough chainsaw poster.

[@ericbeaton7211]

Temu are total scam artists.they repeatedly send emails claiming you can get anything up to 100 % discount on the stuff you buy. What they don’t tell you is the only discount you will actually get is the difference between the manufacturer’s retail price and the price quoted on their website . Which are often more expensive than eBay or Amazon do yourselves a favour and don’t get taken for a mug.

[@clintadams8451]

My wife and I have had no issues with Temu. We've had some free stuff as well as decent tools purchased for 1cent.

[@ericbeaton7211]

@@clintadams8451 Just stating my experience of Temu. I am glad it worked for you. But I found that after I signed up for Temu I was daily bombarded with emails offering discounts. Anytime I attempted to by a couple of kits by the the time I got to the checkout I was being charged exactly the price their website showed and there was no mention of the discounts mentioned in the emails they had sent.

[@joemoore4027]

Of course the kits are packaged well, they want a good review to get more customers hooked. I've seen and heard nothing but horror stories about TEMU. I've been building for 60 years and just stick with known distributors that care for their customers.

[@BrodieD]

I'll be honest when I see Temu I've always thought of cheap knock off products so have never really looked on their page. But now I know they have models they might get a few views from me.

[@RWHobbies]

Same with me. Name brands are ok. Limited selection but hopefully they expand with time.

[@robertgriffin662]

Wow I was just on there and that was showing up under "model kits was stupid Lego! What am I doing wrong?

@@RWHobbies are temu legit?

[@RWHobbies]

@@thedisabledwelshman9266 yes, if you stick to name brand products and pay with PayPal or some payment method with payment protection, you have nothing to worry about. I.e. a Border Model kit on Temu is exact same as a Border Model kit in your local store. You are cutting out the distributor and buying direct from China hence the much lower costs.

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

Just checked. The 1/35 Spitfire kit is over $102 Canadian. With the exchange rate it should be about $60. Temu is a rip off. And it’s all Chyna garbage.

[@Gundumb_guy]

Yea did you factor in coupons? If your a new user you can literally get 100 dollar off coupon! My first order I made I got like 280 bucks worth of stuff for like 45 bucks or something. A lot of it was crap but some of it I still use 🤷‍♂️

[@wetland3010]

Pretty shallow review to not even mention, let alone even have a quick look at, the photo-etch sheet in the Spitfire. It is clearly obvious, and something most kits do not include in the box.

[@RWHobbies]

This was not a review of the kits. This was a promo video for Temu. As mentioned if people were interested in a standalone review to let me know and I would do one.

[@fingers3239]

Temu are in the business of putting local traders out of business and they don't pay import costs - the UK taxpayer does! Hence the reason they trade so cheap!!

[@bravodelta3083]

Temu are very hit and miss. I have a feeling that they send real stuff out to be reviewed for free yet you get guff sometimes when you order. Very much hit and miss for tools and the odd kit I've bought.
