Is Temu the New Amazon for Travel Essentials? Find Out Now!

[@lenettasmith-murray2145]

I've been pleased with ALL my TEMU purchases.

[@heleneg525]

This is the first time I've come across your channel, and I watched the Temu-Amazon comparison of various travel products. I have to say that this is the first such video that has actually compared both online marketplaces (at least from what I've seen). Granted, I understand that it's impossible to compare every product Temu and Amazon sells, but you did one heck of a job with these six! Also, I want to compliment you on your presentation: intelligent, organized and thorough. One of the best KZbinrs out there! Congrats!

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thank you so much! As a new KZbinr, that means a lot to me 🤗

[@iNyttowll]

I love price comparing. You should definitely make this a series because Temu is becoming more popular and some things are actually good quality

[@_MakeItSparkle]

I love the feedback! I'll be doing part 2 soon

[@wafflesmomforlife9215]

TEMU for the win!! I am ADDICTED to their site, so be prepared, lol!!! Great video!!

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Lol, I definitely will start checking their first for items when I have time to wait for shipping.

[@susandiekmann]

LOVE the idea of the side by side comparisons! This was fun to watch!

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thanks for watching!

[@bluegirl4079]

As the old saying goes, you usually get what you pay for. I was so excited to see you comparison of Temu vs Amazon because I've had so many ads populating my social media. Some times cheap is just too cheap. As for me, I would rather purchase items that will serve me well and last. I enjoyed your video!

[@staceyanderson8500]

Just tie a ribbon around makeup brush holder, it’s just pleasing to have dupes and low costs. Thanks for this video love it !

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thanks for watching!

Great video. As an avid Temu shopper whose ordered 35 orders to date, I can add a little here. 1. The quality is generally less than that of Amazon. The clothes are thinner and 80% or so is polyester, the silicone products are much thinner, the plastic products are much thinner, just all around thinner. 2. They do an amazing job with customer service. They make it so easy to return items. The first return of the order is free and they email you the label. So wait to try everything out in your order before initiating that return. There's plenty of times they just say keep it and you don't have to return it. I chose to take a Temu credit cause I know I'll be ordering again anyway. The credit appears usually within a few hours of the post office receiving the return. And if you are told to just keep it, the credit is there within minutes. 3. They have an amazing price adjustment for the first 30 days. You don't even have to call and wait on line forever, you just go into your account and if there's an adjustment you click on it and get the adjustment as credit. I check my orders every day cause a several of my orders have had 5-7 price adjustments in that 30 days. It's like Christmas getting that free money lol 4. Packaging: this is a plus and a minus for me. The positive is that if this product is for myself, I don't care for a ton of packaging that'll clog our landfills so Temu is great for that. However I don't usually order gifts from Temu as the packaging looks super cheap and gets pretty banged up in those orange bags. Overall: I'd say Temu takes the win for some and not others. If you keep your expectations in line with the price point, then you'll generally be happy. Don't expect Gucci on a Walmart budget. I hope this has been a helpful bonus to your great video. I'm a first timer here so I'll smash that like and subscribe button for ya to show my appreciation. Lol

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

TEMU keeps there prices lower by not having all the cute little boxes, extra added items included in the boxes, etc so there’s that. At the end of the day, the only person that’s going to know it’s a dupe is you.

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Love these extra tips! I agree, you gotta manage your expectations with Temu

[@maryfrench1372]

I bought a travel shower bag from Amazon and another from TEMU. Was exactly the same bag. Amazon cost was $24.99 TEMU cost was $4.99

[@hummingbird4934]

Surely employees aren’t getting a decent wage at that price tho

[@Xia-hu]

@@hummingbird4934 it's manufactured in the same place. Sold by the same companies.

[@kmg0125]

I did buy a couple of travel items from temu for my trip coming up. After I’ve been pleased with most but after seeing the comparison of the makeup bag and the brush holder I am now rethinking ordering those from Amazon and just taking the loss. Thank you for this review.

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thanks for watching! I agree, Temu is good about 75% of the time

[@karenpalmer6131]

I love your concept of comparing Amazon versus Temu identical/similar products! I think you’ve created a space where no one else has ventured. You did a fabulous job of talking it through.!!!👍🏽 Based on your comparison I was looking for links in your description box to get one or two items, but I didn’t see any links. That would be a good idea to add that option. Thanks for the video!🙏🏽

[@vyvyanne]

You did such an amazing and thorough job comparing the two. I was surprised each time at what a difference in quality could affect the function of an item. Would love to see more temu vs amazon!

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thank you! I'll be doing part 2 soon

[@thewisdomdivatv]

This was so helpful. Thank you!🙏🏽💕

[@letakennedy]

I really liked this comparison of travel products. I have purchased from Temu….my order took forever to arrive but for small cheap items I was pleasantly pleased. 😀

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Yes, I totally agree! Thanks for watching

[@grandmasmagic3858]

well, what I got out of this id that TEMU is not wasting money on extra layers of packaging..better for the environment..

[@valeriebailey6274]

I have ordered from Temu and Amazon. I like them both. I never considered comparing until I saw your video. Thank you so much. I truly enjoyed you. I never comment on a video but you were so through and personable.

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thank you for watching!

[@tatianahelm8067]

I’m a flight attendant and I absolutely loved your travel reviews. I can see what would really be helpful

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@MissEvv77]

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thank you, and thanks for watching 😊

[@stephanier9820]

I recently bought 2 small tech pouches and 4 small sanitary pads pouches from temu, one is an emergency pouch with basic necessity stuff. I like both temu and Amazon

[@jordybabe8795]

I’m new to your channel an I love this video! So interesting! I just getting into temu and I am obsessed!

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@peachesncream77us]

I immediately subscribed to your channel. Love how you described the comparison of the two products. And, yes, I definitely would order my products from Temu, even saving money from shipping. Annnd, if your order doesn't come in within the time frame, they would give back $5. Awesome video. Thanks !😉

[@heleneg525]

Agreed.

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Yes, I forgot to mention the $5 credit.

[@robyncastille9788]

And don’t forget you can a refund if products you have bought reduce in price… Temu will instantly give you a credit for the difference to use on future purchases

[@kimjohnson2355]

Good job. Very very nice video. Well done. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@tatianahelm8067]

Nice!! Love your comparison between Amazon+Temu. I’d compared only on their websites. Its so helpful to make a decision between $$$ and quality one is willing to compromise. Thank You!

[@SASSYSAV_]

Love your hair btw ❤❤❤

[@SASSYSAV_]

Relaly enjoyed the video please make more alot of people enjoy these kinds of videos ❤❤❤

[@traceyquinsey8894]

Thank you for this much appreciated

[@cowbayshrub]

I love most of my Temu purchases. I would rather save money on Temu to decide if i would use something. Temu has it’s place, though I do plan on using my Temu backpack that cost under $40 to travel around the world in a few months

[@vonkatheviking]

The temu makeup bag put a piece of cardboard on the bottom for stronger structure and it will stay in shape. It works great with any bag that's a fit flimsy ✌️

[@_MakeItSparkle]

I didn't think of that, but it could definitely work

[@iammarlana]

Hi doll, just stopping by to show support from Lemon 8!!!! I have been very skeptical about Temu, thanks for the side by side comparisons. very interesting

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thanks for the support 🤗

😂😂

[@kristys1973]

excellent video! do more please!

[@_MakeItSparkle]

I'll be doing part 2 soon

[@Msbridgett]

I love this comparison video. Ive been comparing both sites pricing every time I order. I ordered the Temu make up bag, and I was disappointed at the compartments.

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Yes! Temu can be tricky.

[@jenxu2]

I go for the Temu travel stuff. I'm on a tight budget....so Temu for me.

[@helpisontheway1801]

This video was helpful and informative! I look forward to more content!

[@sheenamoren9780]

For the temu makeup brush holder you could get tiny magnets and glue them to the inside lip diy it 😊

[@_MakeItSparkle]

That's a great idea! Save $15

[@jB-wv4qj]

I ordered of Temu for the first time a few days ago. Now the thing I don't like is the first time you return is free anything after that is 7.99 to ship it back. So for that reason Im sticking with Amazon free returns

[@cocostrayer6667]

The first return OF EACH ORDER is free. You pay only if you initiate an additional return after completing the first return process, which can have multiple items.

[@lakeisharhyant2045]

That is why you make sure to include anything you want from the package. You can also return items from other packages. I order alot. You have 90 days to return. As long as you haven't returned anything in the packaged it wik be free. I never I paid for shipping. Sometimes they will let u you know if it has to be returned if not you get to keep and they will still refund you. I have had this happen quite a bit andI choose Temu credit because I am always buying from them.

[@louisef.1763]

Love this comparison video! I would prefer if you listed the prices before talking about the products.

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Good idea-Thank you for watching!

[@brittneyoh2427]

Thank you for the side by side comparison

[@_MakeItSparkle]

[@tiffanysteen1845]

If I feel the bag up does the shape really matter?

[@IHateSurprises]

Appreciate the time and effort you put into this video! Well done.

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thanks for watching🤗

[@Miamia_01]

Ordering from amazon from abroad is not any point, well not where Im at in Europe. I pay more for Temu than Americans but it’s already included tax and customs which would be added if Temu didn’t already do that. Some Temu items are rather pricey but many are not. So for Amazon not every seller ship here plus it gets pricey afterwards. My point is, this was so great because a lot of people don’t really test out their Temu products. And if they do they are often super positive because they are paid by Temu 🙈 Well done, a pro video. Keep up the good work:)

[@aisharambert456]

Temu will actually let you keep the items and they will give you credit for the items.

[@denisejones9615]

Excellent video.

[@ingenewell5359]

Thank-you!

[@angelelle7777]

Oh boy I got nervous to watch this 😂 I am getting ready for a 3 1/2 week trip this summer with my 9 year old son & just ordered a few little items from Temu 🙏🏼🤞🏼😂 t the rest I got from Amazon so we’ll see.. my Temu package should be here any day now 😬

[@angelelle7777]

I’ll add that I’m glad I didn’t spend much at Temu so if it’s all junk it’ll be ok 😂 think I spent under $20 but times are tight so I’ll prob still use whatever I got. Thanks for this info!!!! We are being bombarded by Temu ads and most of us don’t know what to expect with it

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Thanks for watching! You should be OK but you'll get your money's worth 😉. I purchased items that wouldn't be too much of a disappointment if the quality was low. I think it's worth a try, especially if you're shopping for a family

[@heleneg525]

Enjoy your vacation, Angel!

[@FortunadaHope]

Great video ❤new subscriber here 😘❤️🙏🏽

[@KarynHill]

These items are all made in China and usually, the factory makes both versions of the product. In some instances, this is a copyright violation but not worth pursuing by the original manufacturer. Often, the knock-offs are made with cheaper materials but not always. The Temu items are, on balance, the more environmentally friendly option. All of the items are coming from China but the Amazon items often take an extra trip to a U.S.-based warehouse so use more fuel, and always use more packaging. I'm still weighing the pros and cons to see if I'll ever order from Temu. I work for an alliance of large manufacturers and sympathize with their plight. Then again, they wouldn't be in this situation if they weren't deeply committed to squeezing every last 1/10th of a penny for their shareholders and having Chinese factories create their items. It's definitely a complex situation.

[@SASSYSAV_]

I believe prices go down on prime day im not sure tho im still leanring how all the prime stuff works

[@lisainfantes6583]

I would still order from both sites. I have the Temu cosmetics organizer, didn't have high expectations, and don't really love it. I think I will repurpose with first aid kinda items to keep under the bathroom sink. I really dislike the middle pouch being loose, but should be fine for thermometers or band aids etc., and the big compartment for first aid creams and bandages etc. If you haven't returned yours, maybe you could fill with some toiletry items and donate to a woman's shelter instead.

[@_MakeItSparkle]

That's a good idea- thanks for sharing!

[@tiffanysteen1845]

Could you do Amazon vs dollar tree they have lots cheaper options! Temu saves money! Put make up bags in ziplock bag or silicone bag instead!

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Great video suggestion!

[@engyattia2269]

Can you please send the jewelry organizer from Temo

[@lakeisharhyant2045]

Im going on a cruise and majority of item i bought for the trip came from Temu and quality on majority of items are good.

[@_MakeItSparkle]

All of my purchases are still holding up 🙌🏾

[@theresaeng5330]

Obviously Amazon is going to be a bit more better quality, you get what you pay for. Not sure this is a fair comparison. Because of the HUGE price difference TBH. It's like comparing Walmart to Nordstrom. It's NOT even going to come close most of the time.

[@shawnawalstead]

when I've had to return something to temu, they have credited me right away when I chose credit to my account and I didn't have to return the items

[@venuscarter6750]

Returns are free at temu

[@topflight7365]

Make it sparkle, baby!

[@SASSYSAV_]

I feel 4:46 like if the makeup bag was full it would fill the shape

[@SASSYSAV_]

Temu legit has the same stuff people sell on amazon for way more money

[@lynnconroy8]

That was a euro price. The euro is so close to the US dollar. I think the difference is only .07 cents.

[@kimjohnson2355]

With Temu you pay for the returns. I had to pay to return my items

[@_MakeItSparkle]

I had no idea- thanks for sharing

[@myb4649]

Temu gives “dollar tree” but they have things for much less than Amazon. Temu doesn’t sell as much as Amazon but they have a pretty big seller selection. It’s all the same cheaply made and overpriced stuff IMO. But it’s Temu for the win for me!👍🏾🥇🏆😂

[@_MakeItSparkle]

Temu won this round 😄

[@iammedusa2600]

Peel box?

[@ErocasEclecticEphemera]

I returned small things to temu...didnt even have to send them back and got a credit immediately on the site but for other ways of money return takes longer

sorry to burst the bubble but your amazon equivalents are also made in China, by the same companies that sell on Temu ;)

The products are the same because temu just copied the design! They did not have much engineering costs! Same as undercutting Luis Vuitton! The Chinese are playing the long game and undercutting Amazon! Another company down the tubes! I have no affiliation with Amazon, just saying! Also wouldn’t give the Chinese company my main credit card! They say privacy is the same, but travel to China and you will find out differently! Temu prices are great but how would you like to get your product ripped off! Retired no skin in the game! Don’t complain when we have no companies left! The Chinese use sweat shops too! That’s why they are jumping off the roofs of plants! Just be mindful that there are other issues besides lower prices! That said you did a good job of comparing! Maybe Amazon will reduce prices before they loose there business! Amazon aren’t you glad your suppliers are undercutting you!

[@SUPERBBARBIE]

Um noooo Temu is not the new Amazon
