We bought 40 items from Temu, the online superstore with the #1 app. Here's what we got.

#eastidahonews #temu #shopping
IDAHO FALLS -- A new online shopping platform has quickly become the most downloaded app in the United States, surpassing Amazon and Walmart.
Temu, a Boston-based online retailer that shares the same owner as Chinese social commerce giant Pinduoduo, is a superstore that sells virtually everything - from home goods to apparel to electronics - at bargain prices.
Some examples: a woman’s swimsuit on Temu costs just $6.50, a pair of wireless earphones is priced at $8.50 and you can get an eyebrow trimmer for 90 cents.
Free shipping is offered with a customer's first three orders and is often included on sales or promos. If a package does not arrive on time, Temu gives customers a $5 credit. Free gifts, coupon codes and steep discounts are often offered across the site.
Many customers have wondered if the business is too good to be true and if the items sold on Temu are quality products.
EastIdahoNews.com decided to put the site to the test. We purchased a variety of random items and the packages arrived this week. Check out the video in the player above to see the results of our experiment.
You can learn more about Temu and download the app here: temu.com/s/YapmDLYYaMC6cfC

You should send these out to be tested for lead, heavy metals, and other harmful chemicals. Tests of product from similar outlets like this come back as highly toxic. It could make an interesting follow up story.

I really am trying to support the American economy by purchasing "Made in USA" products, which are more expensive because we have to pay fair cost of living wage & can't employ 9 & 10 year old child labor like in China. I get it that some folks can't afford to pay more money for their goods. But if this kind of shopping puts USA made products & companies out of business, that could be the job that your husband, wife, son, daughter or friends need to have to support their lives here in the US. I'm trying to purchase better made, longer lasting items that may cost more up front, but won't be as much of a burden for our landfills in the future. Plus, probably another big thing to consider is the type of lack of honest from China on the chemicals they use & plastics that are banned in USA are not regulated the same. I a sucker for a good deal too ... but I don't think in the long run these are good deals. That's why this is a free country, everyone gets to decide for their own family & lives. Just my thoughts for my own home & family. Thanks for the review of the items East Idaho News ... you folks are wonderful!

[@sassynana5201]

I agree with you however, many, many “American made” companies have been allowed to operate in other countries. But, by having one small component made in the US, congress has deemed them to be “made in America.” While 90% of the products are made elsewhere, these companies have the privilege of being deemed “American” and are not subject to any foreign tariffs.

[@colleenahrens8750]

My thoughts on this is this is stuff I would find in a dollar store...one of those cheap cheap Chinese dollar stores. I was wondering if these things have chemicals that will rub off on our skin that we may not be aware of? Then she said oh yeah when I opened the box I got this chemical smell... Well glad she said that because if you can smell them that is definitely not a good thing. Answers my questions. I try not to buy anything online and also look for made in the USA items. I have also boycotted Wal-Mart as well for the way they treat their employees.

[@rhondamurff9101]

[@andreagibson7355]

Thank you guys. This was an eye opener about consumerism. We can't use plastic grocery bags but we can import all sorts of thick plastic that end up in our landfills and water supply. The chemical smells are a warning according to our senses but we breath it in anyways? Tons of chemicals imported with our consent so we actually asked for it. So glad I am in the stage of life where I want to get rid of things, not buy them. This was a great segment, thank you for doing it.

[@kayaker9912]

I agree completely and I am in the same stage, purging, purging, purging. All my stuff gets donated to our local animal shelter and I am trying so hard to keep from buying anything plastic. I even told my daughter, I should open a store called, "No Plastic", all sourced from natural products, packaged in paper, no plastic of any sort in the store.

[@grimtt]

Technically a “power strip” isn’t required to protect from surges, it just extends the number of things that can be plugged into the outlet. A surge protector however does have to be certified and meet more stringent safety requirements so that normal appliances like computers, printers, TVs won’t blow out during a powe surge. At the very least you can tell a strip is not a protector if it has only 2 prongs 🔌. Also, from my experience the surge protector has a switch which has to be turned on in order to protect your stuff.

Do you think that because it you costs you more…..the factory workers make more 😅. It’s called MARKUP which is sometimes up to 500%. Temu ships directly from China which eliminates the middle man and all associated costs such as warehousing, handling, transportation in addition to customary markup profits.

[@nada7.077]

EVERYTHING from Temu is made in and shipped from, China. So if you’re not a big fan of purchasing “Made in China” products Temu is not the sight to shop. I placed 2 different orders from Temu and had about a 50/50 good/bad experience. By the time you go through packaging and paying for return shipping, given the price you pay for their merch, it’s really not worth it. Also watch the sizes, especially on their shoes! This was a fun video to watch. Thank you Nate and Kaitlyn. Personally, I will not be ordering from this sight again. Oh! By the way, EVERYTHING ships in the orange plastic bags so I would suggest not ordering anything fragile/breakable. Also your bag will come super taped up because all packages go through customs and are opened and inspected.

[@kbh790]

Most things you buy from WalMart, Amazon, etc. are made in China too. I had a broken item and went on the TEMU site and told them it was broken. The refund was made quickly and they said I didn't need to return it. I ordered a pair of slippers and they were good quality but had one loose stitch. I requested a return and they sent a prepaid shipping label and repunded the purchase.

I shop Temu and I do not have a problem with it. If there is absolutely anything you need, any kind of gadget whatever, you will find it there. I accidently ordered a couple of blouses. I thought they were cute and put them on an order I had going, just so I would be able to find them later. The order went through. I forgot to remove them and I didn't care much for them, but I was going to give them away. In the comments I left I said just that-that it was an accident and Temu reached out and said to keep them and they credited my account. The shipping is pretty darn quick for what they move in products. My only concern is that I hope they treat their employees well, because they move like quicksilver. I do not see where Temu could put anyone out of business. The products that they carry are some things that I could not even find anywhere else. There are so many new companies popping up in the States that I always support-if they have what I want but there is ALWAYS a big pricetag attached

My dogs immediately lost their toys. I read now on Amazon if any dogs items I buy come partially from elsewhere. You have to look hard and see if they are sourced in the USA and made in the USA. This is for treats and food. Lots of packages say made in USA but if you read further it is sourced in China. Brazil etc. And the smell on those items never goes away. I threw the boots out the door. It still smelled after rain and sunshine. And if the guy was that far away and could smell it that is worse than my boots. I wont be shopping at Temu. Our country needs to earn money .

The first thing I thought of when I started seeing ads on YT for this company was that the “deals” were far too good and no doubt, there is more than meets the eye, beyond the obvious questionable (at best) labor practices, chemicals used in processing, and lack of oversight. Also, obviously concerning, is the fact that our country is significantly propping up another country’s economy when our own is really hurting. With all that said, my main concern/question is “What is really going on with this company”? Perhaps an easy way to get millions upon millions of American’s personal info I.e. name, address, phone, Debit/Credit card info? Additionally, given the continuing and quickening degradation of the US and CCP relationship (or lack thereof at this point), it’s just hard for me to believe there isn’t more to this. Call me a Tin hat wearing CT, I just don’t have a good feeling about this company or their intentions at all.

If you don’t know how to shop it, you will make you lose money, but I do know how for example if you want silver earrings or rings 925, and it’s legit, silver, sterling, silver jewelry, and cheap, very very reasonably priced. I love it. I have a learning with heroes that I have purchased. I T-shirts I purchased with logos pertinent to my field perfect. Clothing, blouses of linen and cotton. Beautiful bed wear such as blankets for babies beautiful soft made of bamboo and cotton. Wonderful. So many things tools for sewing that I might use around the house for example: Thermometer, dog supply, such as feeders, those talking buttons that you record with the dog, whistles, harnesses lead, sweaters, beautifully printed beautifully woven. Just so many things it’s hard to keep track as I do buy a lot. I love them. Yes, they are returns are free just put it back in the box in the plastic with the barcode that comes with it take it to the post office and at the post office scan the QR code that Temu sent for you for your return and it’s done you don’t do it you don’t write on the box you don’t put postage on the box the post office to print the label scan code that team sent you. Couple of days, got your refund. I’ve also gotten things that I’ve purchased on other original websites that now have their things sold on and they’re like third of the price of the original creators website. And they are exactly what I have purchased already. So fun. Don’t be skeptical just be careful and look at the content of everything look at the size of everything. Make sure it’s the metal that you want silver or or Sterling silver or stainless steal, make sure it’s cotton or linen and not 100% polyester. It’s OK if it’s 35% polyester 65% cotton. Read the reviews also they will tell you about sizing and look at the photos of the items that people have sent after they’ve received what they purchased. Really can’t go wrong if you do your due diligence. So inexpensive. I love it. Kind of addictive too but I think I finally reached my limit of of addiction.

Most of what I ordered from Temu (did two orders) arrived bent or broken because it was crammed into a flimsy orange bag that was wrapped around and around by packing tape. For example a large first aid type of box (plastic) you fill with your own medicines, bandages etc. Cover was bent, couldn't close it. I ended up returning almost every piece of clothing. What was listed as 100 percent cotton turned out to be 100 percent polyester. I was told to keep the broken stuff after sending photos. You have to return stuff from multiple orders together because you only get one free return, your "first" return. If you send back some shirts, for example, and then find out your charger is a dud that died a week after you got it, you have to pay to return the charger, and that could cost more than you paid for it. Also, you get a notice that returned merchandise will be inspected by their vendors who will decide how much of a refund you will get. I ended up getting 60 percent of my money back, which was about $50 short of the total I paid. Chinese companies count on you to not return stuff. I once bought a wig not knowing it was coming from China (through Kohl's online). It was like bad doll hair, looked nothing like the photo. They gave me a 15 percent refund or I could pay to ship it back to China at more than the cost of the wig. And yeah, a bunch of stuff I ordered from Temu smelled awful.

"This one has a bad smell, but its only $0.59 cents so I'm not complaining!"

Most of the items are on par with what you would find in the Dollar Tree, but the quilted dog coat I ordered for my son's beagle was actually pretty decent quality. So, I really think it depends on what you order. They have so many items online that you can actually spend hours just looking. Would I order again? Yes I think so. I ordered some quilting clips, small clips that hold material along the edge for hemming, etc. These are the exact same clips that I paid nineteen dollars for on Amazon for about three bucks on Temu.

I also look at child safety inspection e.g. choking safe guards.and 3) I would rather pay more for products than fund a country so hostile to the US.
