Mom Tries Temu...Is it a scam?? Would I Order Again?? | @KristenxLeanne

[@giselao181]

In europe we have to have safe plastic for children toys especially. I don’t know how safe it is to order there, what plastic they are made of 🤷‍♀️

[@KristenxLeanne]

Really love that about your up that’s awesome. This one is supposedly made out of bamboo but I’m sure there are lots of plastics on the website that aren’t necessarily the greatest.

[@misaexner1037]

From the sound im guessing the cheapest. Also i try very hard not to give my child the very least plastic shit that i can🙏 we have so many microplastic everywhere already, why add to it🤷‍♀️

[@keelyboulter1992]

Moms please be careful of the clothes! There’s a lot of LEAD that’s been proven in Shein, wish, Temu, romwe etc in clothing!!! (Not to mention the working conditions for the staff making the clothes) Both adult and children’s clothing! I’ll do certain things on there (more so the stuff I find on Amazon that’s the exact same on Shein/Temu) but I never buy the clothes. So scary! Plus I watch because of carbon emissions and landfill. But I have to admit I’ve found some super awesome finds on there especially gadget stuff and kitchen stuff (obviously washed and disinfected first) since I’m disabled to help me in my daily life! ❤ Stay safe! Love to all ❤

[@KristenxLeanne]

Quesion for you, I've seen some of the same exact clothing on amazon. So how could you ever really know you're not buy8ing clothing with lead in it??

[@ditavonstacey]

@@KristenxLeanne exactly a lot of the stuff we buy from Amazon are the same as temu we just pay extra. Almost everything we buy from anywhere is made in China. I’d rather just buy directly from China if it’s the same shit

[@alleyj826]

I personally wouldn’t order anything from here because it doesn’t seem any better than SHEIN. The tests they’ve run showed their stuff was soooo high in hazardous chemicals, especially for kids.

[@emily2691]

I also feel that it’s worth it to invest in things that will last you for years! Not only is it worth it for you wallet in the long run but for the environment as well

[@KristenxLeanne]

Happy Monday!! Have you tried Temu yet?! Did you like what you got? Share your favs!

[@nickyclark5667]

I've done an order on Temu for a few things I need. Should be here by the 19/22ns Aug.

[@juice_stene88]

I’m sure you’ll do this anyways, but put all those toys in the dishwasher to wash first if it came from China directly & definitely look up all the plastic materials. I haven’t shopped from Temu, just Shein for things other than clothes and every package had a disclaimer about possible issues due to the materials used, even the clothes. Only mentioning since it was mostly for Harlow or baby on the way. Hopefully all good, but doesn’t hurt to be cautious, especially since everything is sooo low cost. Most things are you get what you paid for.

[@Stephanie_Aria93]

I haven't ordered from temu yet I'm a bit unsure however I did see they do Disney inspired princess dresses thought they'd be cute for Harlow the little mermaid one looks the best ❤

[@amandalujan4730]

Shorts for me have been a HUUGE win for me from them.

[@kaileerenae9719]

I ordered from Temu almost a year ago. It is basically the same as Wish/Shein. The quality is not good, but you shouldn’t be expecting it to be in the first place. A lot of the products are miniature, but they do typically have dimensions listed in the product description. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that they are small, but I think most people don’t end up actually reading the descriptions (I work for an e-commerce store so I know for a fact that people don’t read descriptions 😂). I was happy with most of my purchase because I wasn’t expecting them to be great - and they weren’t. So there wasn’t much room for them to disappoint me. The only thing I was actually upset with was some yoga pants I got that were a completely different shade of green than shown (the product photo was a sage green and the product itself was like booger green) and they were 100% see-through. Everything else was okay (I even got a snail pen holder/desk lamp that I am still using, but the off button turns it on and the on button turns it off 🤣).

[@amandalujan4730]

I’ve had the complete opposite experience. I love them and have gotten some good items. This is definitely a step up from Wish

[@mckenziederruisseaux373]

Your daughter is so funny, I gasped when she plopped them toys down the hatch 😂😂😂 My kiddo is almost 10 now, missing him being so small like that!

[@ashleymeek2738]

Girl I would have SO been sriked to get all my teeth and them be all organized (my weird side and my ocd side all mixed together 💯🤣) I haven't ordered from there yet but I've been hearing a lot of good things.. just make sure you read description and reviews lol. Thats so dang cute that Harlow loves dinos 🦕 🦖 😍 Congrats on the new lil beeb 🤱🏼💗 hope yall are doing well!

[@mrsbeatlejuiceYT]

I just received my first order from Temu last week. I got like 6 different onesies for baby, two t shirts for my, a beanie & like 5 nose rings for $47. The shirts feel amazingggggly soft & the insides are super cute & seem sturdy!

[@sarahrune5318]

I’ve lost 98 pounds and still wearing the same clothes. I finally decided I couldn’t go around looking this slouchy anymore so I’ve ordered like 5 outfits from Temu. They aren’t here yet. I don’t want to spend a lot because I’m still working on losing more weight. My hope is that what I ordered will be decent enough

[@brittanyhackerott3274]

FYI watch those toys that came with the net, they get water inside them and they end up getting mold inside! I want you aware of that in case you didn't know! The toys with the little holes in the bottom seem to get alot of mold if not cleaned properly or taken care of. Good luck momma on labor, I'll be thinking of you and hoping for a WONDERFUL delivery with 0 complications!

[@KristenxLeanne]

I actually noticed the water gets inside - so they will need to be bleach soaked often or just to be kept out of the water. Thank you!! I have been squeezing them out well each time! Thank you so so much!!!

[@amandalujan4730]

Omg I got the BEST shorts from Temu!!!! Shirts are hit and miss but I’m OBSESSED with this app lol

[@KristenxLeanne]

oh wow I'm surprised ! that's awesoe=me

[@madelineamber3241]

The first toy you got, the cube thing with the rattles inside is really good. I got my son one when he was about a year old and he loved it! Its similar to those cubes with the shape cut outs but its more age appropriate. Such a good buy!

[@danielledelledonne696]

Great purchases!!! We have ordered from here and always been happy!!!! Oh Harlow, she is such a little doll!!!! 💕💕

[@nettycakes5293]

I found everything on my Amazon wish list on Temu for waaaay cheaper. So far I love everything. Packaging isn’t the greatest, but nothing broken yet 😊

[@KristenxLeanne]

I found lots from my Amazon lists on Temu too! Same companies selling them I guess!!

[@nettycakes5293]

@@KristenxLeanne I love all your items! I am all about the Montessori toys. Thanks for your review. Keep it up! This is great!

[@shelley2998]

Never bought from them, but got some free stuff from them, just waiting for them to be delivered, wanted to see there stuff before I buy from them, it good you like all the stuff you got, i got free stuff by feeding the fish and planting and harvest plants on temu

[@SmallBreedandReptilesSoCal]

So this is kind of the concept of getting the little doggy dryer that's supposedly like $7,000 for 50$ and yeah it wasn't at all what it was supposed to be. So I'm glad you're seeing what you ordered at least :-)

[@vintage-foliage]

Considering how much babies put things in their mouth, I would be seriously concerned about giving a kid toys or items that I don’t know how they are made and what possible hazards are in them

[@KristenxLeanne]

I'd be concerned if Harlow was ingesting pieces or dyes... but she doesn't so I'm not too worried about that with the things I bought

[@alleyj826]

But her putting it in her mouth IS ingesting whatever it’s made out of. She doesn’t need to swallow the actual toy to be ingesting lead and other hazardous chemicals that these very cheap toys are made out of. Of course it’s impossible to know where everything comes from, but why not limit what you’re buying to safer silicone, BPA free or safe wooden toys from reputable brands rather than buying from these places that have been proven to have high amount of leads? Not to mention horrible work environments 😣

[@youtubeacc]

Especially when it’s being made in a factory in China with no health regulations. Terrifying

[@keelyboulter1992]

I died at the onesie 😆😆

[@KristineS73]

lve made about 8 orders 😂 Got stuff for a 12yo bday party and everything was great. I got stuff to make balloon pillars and i wish I could post pics because I got so many compliments on them. I am going to be making lots more balloon things for all occasions!

[@KristenxLeanne]

I heard making those balloon things is super hard!! Nice job

[@shelbyrosenberg1341]

My favorite things I’ve gotten from Temu: a few pairs of cute sandals for me, some cute sandals for my 2 year old, some shorts for her, toys for her, cute coffee mugs, a few rings (one of them gave me a green mark but the rest didn’t), shirts for my husband, a few cute dresses for me. The only ehh things I’ve really gotten were bathing suits. My top pick is a pair of sandals I wear everyday that look just like sandals target had for twice the price.

[@kristinmcintosh91]

I am so happy you did this video! I have been wanting someone I trust to find out if it was a scam. Yay the items were super cute. Harlow looks so much like her Dad. And she totally sounded like a Dinosaur!

[@KristenxLeanne]

I'm glad it was useful! Yeah i think it can be hit and miss on quality and what not. It depends what you get. But I definitely did pay attention to the reviews and Looked at people's pictures in the reviews too! haha she is her dad's twin! but actually looks more like me as a baby than nick!!

[@jilliankeith2156]

I have ordered from temu it's like hit and miss I feel like. Some things not bad at all and some just like nope. I got that same organization bags that hang from the wall in the tub and it did not want to stay on the wall and there was hardly anything in it. I think wish/temu pretty much the same hit and miss. Very cute toys

[@Caffeinatedmuggle89]

I’m actually super happy with everything I’ve ordered from them!!

[@KristenxLeanne]

🎉 nice so far I am too

[@emthomas3804]

Temu have been accused of using slaves. Needs looking into.

[@youtubeacc]

Of course it’s children doing these things. How else do you even think they can get items for so cheap?

[@NorseButterfly]

I've refrained from even downloading the app as it seems to be controversial. Several articles about where the company is based, what they get access to once you input your info, a lot of stolen pictures of clothes from reputable brands, massive photoshop on women's fashion. Until I get real facts, I'm staying away. Clever Style did a photoshop fail video of temu, where they ordered clothing and didn't get what was pictured. It sounds more like Wish than anything.

[@youtubeacc]

It’s a factory in China. Children probably make all this shit

[@Manahlynn]

I neeeed to know where you got what you’re wearing! Looks like a comfy sleep set

Their all still working. As for clothing. I only buy cotton material cuz it breathes better. I always look at reviews. I saved my daughters teeth in a miniature Limoge baby box.

I've ordered some things from Temu and will say don't go for the expensive stuff as they skip on quality there. But the small organization things are great for the price they are.

i loovvee temu! i got a 4 pack of crew neck tank tops and they’re so soft, they’re honestly my new favorite shirts. pretty much the only pjs i buy for my son are bamboo since they last for-freaking-ever so i got some from temu and i think they’re actually better quality than little sleepies (still love LS though 😂). i got some suuuper cute overalls that i’m wearing for like the 100th time right now and will be ordering in more colors, i got a few workout/yoga shorts, some regular baby clothes, some bluey croc charms for my son, a purse, and some shoes for myself. i love everything except the shoes i got because they were too small but that could’ve just been my fault since i was too lazy to measure my foot before ordering 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 i got on the app to begin the return process for the shoes and they told me to keep the shoes and they refunded me anyway. i’ve bought some other stuff too and it was all good! but my FAVORITE purchase was a moissanite wedding band (my original wedding band was a cheapy CZ from amazon because i didn’t want a wedding band and then changed my mind last minute so we quickly ordered a cheap one a few days before the wedding) and it’s freaking gorgeous. it’s real silver and real moissanite and i got it for SEVEN DOLLARS. so i just bought 2 more moissanite rings that’ll be delivered tomorrow and i’m stoked. one is a super thin band and the other is a 3ct oval pavè engagement ring. got both on sale for $80 😂 they show up as moissanite and pass the diamond tester thing that they use at jewelers to identify fakes. i’ll now be getting all of my finest jewelry from temu 😂

I used to be buying from temu too much until now! They kept my dresses I returned and didn’t give me a refund also a jacket and a storage container I returned they don’t even have it on file

I kept quite a few of my son’s teeth - when we moved a year ago I showed him and he looked at me like I was insane (he’s 22 now). He didn’t want them so I threw them away 😢😂. I’m weird like you but apparently I didn’t pass that trait onto him 😂

I've ordered about twenty-two times and have spent hundreds.. I remember breaking and getting other people addicted to it now thank me everyday cuz they love it so much. Now it's been awhile and I focus most of what I buy on organizational things and I've found some really cute outfits, jumpers, bras, hoodies, cute cropped tees\hoodies, ] they have baby clothes and things like that and so inexpensive yeah some of the blankets and the clothes that I thought might be cheaply made are a truly beautiful and I love it! There's little games on the app so that you can win like a free item or a $20 discount or when you get your order you can get price adjustments on items that might have gone down and anything you want to return they just give you credit and they've never asked never and you have the option of putting it back on your credit card or keeping it as credit. Sorry I talk texted all this before I watch you open your package because I feel so strongly and love the items I receive from them. My advice would be to always check reviews & especially go through all the pictures that they have even zoom in so you can kind of get a better idea of what the fabric or whatever is.

[@christinecole6565]

I would have loved to have my teeth! I saved my kids teeth through the years and they are in their 'box' (big tub I saved all their stuff in through the years). But I think I grossed them out by saving their belly button cords in the box, also. lol . I like Temu okay but I do worry about the dye/color on some of the products and don't let the grandkids chew on them. Also some of the plastic I think will shatter kind of sharply if stepped on. (after thought - not the entire cord! Just the part that falls off after you're home)

[@KristenxLeanne]

haha I'll be honest, I would be grossed out if my mom saved my belly button part that falls off LOL. I saw someone show their baby's in a youtube video the other day and I was super grossed out and had to look away HAHA.
