Hi temu and shein trying to destroy our economy but the rest of china is not like this its only these 2 they not bennifting the economy but its affecting most businesses globally selling at supplier pricing so basically there is no way that retailers can compete which means the job market and other growth will be affected :( consumers just dont understand how things work.

[@claudiasalinas9840]

My cousin is a seller in Amazon and he told me that all his product and many others sellers get all items from Ali express and ali baba ..they just contact a manufacturer and put their brand .. 😂 and like he said.. a lot of people think its better quality products because its from Amazon ..

[@michaelabraham3677]

It’s the same products yes. Some sellers just spend more time quality checking etc

[@RoleyChiu]

I'm an amazon seller. While some sellers sell the same generic boring items, many sellers like me work extremely hard to improve the products in every way, bigger battery, better materials, better support, upgraded functionality. So, don't let those sellers make you feel that all sellers are boring and lame, as you described.

[@tdrdomains1196]

You guys do know that at least 70% of stuff that is sold on Amazon by third parties are coming from the same Chinese manufacturers that are on Temu, right? They are the same products but with a label on it and 3x-5x more expensive... just take a look. I'm in Eastern Europe and local e-commerce sites are going down one after another, just because they sell same products. And of course, here I'm talking about products that doesn't involve any quality standards, like regular household stuff.

[@claudiasalinas9840]

[@ChristyKayKirk]

[@mostmost1]

[@MatthewKlyce]

It really depends on what you need, when you need it, and how long do you want it to last. I've placed 3 different orders from Temu. All 3 took at least 2-3 weeks to receive my order. All of the products were absolute garbage. Conversely, I needed some shipping labels for some packages that needed to go out this week. I ordered them from Amazon yesterday, they arrived today along with some coffee I also ordered yesterday. With Temu you're not gonna find Nikes, Tide, or Crest toothpaste. You can't get any gourmet groceries, or any food items for that matter. Temu is the epitome of dollar store electronics that sound like a great deal because you think "How much different can a pair of 2$ wireless headphones really be from the more expensive ones" Once you get them you realize the difference. You get what you pay for, always remember that.

[@Chicago48]

It has to go through customs, that's the hold up.

[@marinemerchant]

​@Chicago48 how many days for Customs vs shipping days from China to US?

[@bibittybobettyboo-uz2rf]

I shop at both and am mostly satisfied with Temu for things other than clothing. I do compare if, what I want to buy from Amazon is on Temu and for what price. A lot of the items are on both platforms with lower price tags on Temu. I then ask myself if I can wait 2-3 weeks or is it something I need to use asap, that usually determines which platform I buy from. I am not into brand names so I can't speak on that, but for everyday daily essentials, it's either Walmart or Amazon. Temu for me is mostly for items that fulfil a hobby rather than everyday practical items.

[@jpl0202]

Yes but, I can lose or damage the $50 earbuds just as fast as the $5 earbuds. It just doesn’t hurt my wallet as much losing the $5 ones. So, is the $45 diff really worth it?

[@GT-mq1dx]

I always prefer to buy quality over a perceived replacement of such for a much cheaper price. I’ve lived long enough that I’ve seen major store chains that sold cheap quality items for years finally go out of business. Kmart, Woolworths and 99 cents store to name a few. Also when I do buy something online, I’m buying it because I need it now or tomorrow and of course Amazon usually fulfills that need. There are times that I’ve purchased items from Walmart as well because I know what I’m getting though I may have to wait a little longer. I bought something through Temu last year thinking I was getting a good deal and found out very quickly that you get what you pay for.

[@AlexanderNewman-v1x]

TEMU will kill Amazon if they build a few distribution centers in the US. It is the exact same products as on Amazon. The difference is you, the customer, are paying for tariffs, inbound shipment fees, low inventory fees, PPC, pick and pack fees, the seller's profit, and 15% commission if you buy on Amazon. The fees are so excessive that TEMU can easily halve Amazon's prices.

[@Carolinapetroska]

Maybe not because Amazon delivers in some countries whereas Temu doesn't provide delivery.

[@XtremeGameTutorials]

Amazon have planes. The technology. Then eventually drones. Temu has a long way to catch up.

[@ipodtouch470]

If Temu did this they would need more American Labor which would cost more money. Temu is losing money to begin with this would make it burn through cash much much faster.

[@johnsmith1953x]

Not totally. I don't buy food purchases from Temu. However, Amazon is forcing people to their stupid FreshGrocer website, so who knows.

[@johnmcguire9831]

[@freescholar_familytree]

You can tell if a company is good for you by going to their privacy policy page and their terms page and doing an in page search for the words "third party" - then look at the text on either side of "third party", to see if it is something you agree with. It will let you know how they share your personal info.

Temu cannot kill AMAZON simply because most products on Temu are below standard, dont last. I bought a hand sewing machine that worked for a few days.

It's not a good deal if it's poor quality.

[@richardlevy8995]

We have been buying goods from China for a long time now and the quality of the goods is actually better than what was being produced locally prior to the outsourcing of manufacturing. Goods are produced in a shorter time and in greater quantities than before. We have this romantic notion that North America and Europe produced great products before, an assumption which is simply not true - for example, cars, electronic products and household goods were previously not of the highest quality. We have to face the truth that Chinese labour is far more productive and conscientious, and the quality control has improved immensely. Without question, the Chinese work ethic is superior. The West has had to import labour from developing countries, as our workforce - like our society - suffers from a sense of entitlement and a worship of white collar jobs above all.

[@johnsmith1953x]

@@pshaw8406 True, but most items on TEMU are just as good as on Amazon or Walmart. In fact, they are the SAME EXACT items.

[@isaac198428]

*I’m all for the lowest price. The whole talk about quality and brand name loyalty is nonsense.* If I’m buying a plunger, toilet paper, or party accessories, I don’t care about where I’m getting such supplies from if I’m paying bottom dollar. Just to plan accordingly to account for long shipping periods. People who subscribe to Amazon Prime are wasting money because if they could only manage their time well then they wouldn’t need to emergency buy non-essentials for same or next day deliveries. I cross shop on *Wish, eBay, Amazon* and *Temu* then go for the lowest priced items. Love Chinese stuff which function as well as all others for a quarter of the price. *Only thing I don’t buy on Wish/Temu is clothing & shoes due to size discrepancy.* 😂

Actually it would be very easy to destroy temu, just do inspections on all their products and you will find that 99% are not compliant with western safety standards when it comes to chemical composition, levels and types of plasticizers and all the other crap they contain and emit etc. All this chinese crap is labelled compliants with CE (for Europe) and UL (USA) while it absolutely does not meet the standards, I know it from personal experience. Temu would be fined for millions of violations if inspections were done and the law inforced... Amazon sellers would also get recked but hey, they would then be forced to be accountable for the quality of what they sell...

I HOPE that Temu eventually opens up a market so that US Vendors and Manufacturers can also become eligible for their model... More over, I hope they'll also open up to a solid "used" marketplace as well. To me, it seems like the natural progressive step to which all online markets are taking, so Temu should eventually hit that too.

Teemu's rapid ascent in the e-commerce arena is a game-changer, posing a significant challenge to Amazon's market dominance. The impressive growth, strategic pricing, and innovative gamification of the shopping experience are reshaping the industry.

Bottom line is that teemu have an advantage as in they can pay someone less than $5 a day to work for some 12 hours a day. In the west someone on average will be payed anything between 80-150a day for warehouse and factory labour. Government in the west need to add super taxes on super cheap imports and then even more taxes for when we want to return products

Having said that, I like their front hook-and-eye sports bras which are not padded so they do breathe and are much easier to put on. But the prices vary widely between the shops and time period.

alibaba vs amazon : delivery 30 times longer (1 vs 30 days), quality and price lower (so it equals ??)

[@Js-zx2wi]

I see everybody talk about how cheap the products are, but nothing on the return process if you don't like it. Oh wait the land fill looks better than shipping it back.

[@Qantz]

People are all worked up about Temu killing competitions. Selling poor quality products, etc. The fact is the consumer environment is more dynamic than you think. Not everyone wants to buy cheap and not everyone needs quality. In the business world, you don't always strive for being the best and monopolise. It's gaining market share and focus on your type of customers. When you think you must be the best, unique, glamorous, succeed overnight? You'll never start anything. Continue to work for someone and keep talking big.

[@highflyingstone2616]

Yeah you are right. TEMU is selling products so cheaply. But they also sells your personal information and making money.

[@XtremeGameTutorials]

How’s Temu’s logistics? Only reason I use Amazon is because I get my items the same day or max 2 days.

[@peanut0brain]

Temu can save the American consumer from high inflation caused by their politicians , unless said politicians start banning due to "national security concern" lol

[@chicajimenez6187]

Temu is eventually going to have companies in USA to ship direct from USA

[@SusannaBliss]

Informative, thanks for the share.

[@letsgobrandon1719]

I use both Amazon and Temu. Lately there’s not a big difference in price for the same items. I usually pay an extra 50 cents to get the item next day.

[@fairryalp.-de5qb]

It might depend on the products and how you shop. Just like Amazon, TEMU is the central hub of nanny different stores\companies. But unlike Amazon, stores in TEMU competing with each other very seriously. Too many stores to keep track, so the best way is adding the lowest price you can find, then continue searching for lower price.

[@MySpace662]

Most of the products sold by Temu are not of good quality, and the shipping is very slow.

[@kingsupreme1793]

They are taking the cheap Temu products and selling them for more on amazon for more💯

[@RickMeza]

Great video..Thanks! 🔥

[@adrianfernandopulle9674]

TEMU has problems controlling their staff as some of the TEMU employees are involved in fraud ( especially from European customers) by taking the credit card information and purchasing goods. This is a HUGE PROBLEM. When complained they do not investigate the fraudulent behavior of the staff.

[@beckyluk6587]

Love Temu! I also looked at a product in Temu that costs 36x more on Amazon.

[@gyeonglee3691]

It is going to kill USA Economy later on.

[@truedepth3]

TEMU is awful. They are always sending the wrong shit.

[@gwengeorgettesolon-ue4pj]

They're not after the sales, its a spying game

[@Oh6Torch]

I’ve only bought 2 items from Temu directly. I was thoroughly disappointed with the quality of both. I’m certain there’s money to be made here. Of that I’m certain. If I had a dollar store I would use them to purchase 100s of fly swatters but I wouldn’t buy tools or safety equipment if my livelihood depended on it.

[@Mythoughtonpoliticaltopics]

I love them. Everything that I have brought was nothing but the best.

[@kotk05]

I heard my crazy neighbor scream Teeeemmmuuuuuuu!

[@theroofstore]

There is NO avoiding the import duties. Who pays for the ISF, AMS? Who pays for the import bond? Please provide proof of your statement at the video 4 minute mark. Thank you

[@mywifequitherjob]

Just do a search for section 321 or deminimus

[@Joe-Skier]

You can thank O'biden for that

[@teadrinker7098]

[@RanDom-Interloper]

I've purchased from Temu and honestly I buy cheap unbreakable storage containers for the home that are not available in the US market. My thinking, even if its defective the price is cheap enough it's not much of a loss. Surprise surprise it was quite well made and practical and tough as nails, but mostly, impossible to find on Amazon or typical US outlets. Would I buy brand name pricier items on Temu? No. Temu has a niche that once used to be let's say the Dollar Store but 100x better options. The only alternative to me is Daiso because I can physically touch the objects or Muji and Costco for clothes. Amazon is only useful for their return policy but that's going down so I expect their sales to slowly plateau. I also don't like the idea Amazon could be selling stolen goods. With Temu, it's cheap non-brand items so not likely stolen. And if the anti-China campaign gets bigger, Amazon is just as guilty as Temu and I think Temu has a bigger future outside of the US in the global market. The real competition is probably AI assisted shoppers that can scour the internet and buy directly from the manufacturers or artisans that would be great.

[@Bob-The-Guy]

The Chinese manufacture-ers can list whatever price they want for product cost as they are the importer. This pushes their duties tax lower. This is another advantage they have. US importers have to list what they actually pay and are taxed accordingly.

[@pierrejulus3982]

If it’s clothes Temu is the way to go. For electronic , I prefer Amazon

[@la6136]

I would wash my floor with the clothes that Temu sells. High quality clothes are expensive for a reason and it is well worth it to have something that actually fits well, looks good and will last at least 10 years.

[@takecare4697]

I get my products in 3-5 days the max A week. Definitely the price is a big factor.

[@themadscientist5025]

Not really Temu is starting to rise there prices ... just to be about 2 dollars under most items..

[@marktodd4479]

I work at Amazon, didn’t know what Temu was until I talked to a co worker this padt week when she told me she buys everything on Temu

[@tka1528]

That $47 dollar mat on Amazon is NOT the same as the one on Temu, most of the products on Temu are 100% junk. People pay a low price for dollar store items and when they break after a few days or a week they complain. So I don't see Temu taking over Amazon anytime soon

[@esthermjo]

I’m grateful for this information 💝

[@LadyDiuto]

Also Shein

[@Golfing422]

Nice, a chance to bypass the US ceo bonus. Yes, they too can be outsourced.

[@garyhomanick6129]

It seems Temu has been having consistent issues with stabilizing the quality assurance of their products and shipping. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few years.

[@firstlast-pt5pp]

Temu is not really cheaper. Their loss leads and give aways are though. How long can they sustain such market entry tactics?

[@diyi75]

Products are mainly the same,the shipping & customer service are not.

[@monetespiritu]

Buying Product online Temu or Amazon is just hit &miss products u ordered

[@ridethewaves4034]

How, temu products are cheap? I'd rather pay for good quality than to spend another dime one Temu, 1 and done.
