Have You Ordered Anything From Temu Website?

I heard for about a year now that some people have had their banking accounts hacked and money removed after using a Temu account to order things. But now I find out that they will accept Visa cards so wouldn’t have to worry about my bank account getting hacked that way. I started seeing a lot of identical things that I have been looking for on Amazon selling for about 50-75% less than what Amazon and other sites sell the same thing for. Now rethinking of ordering. The worst drawback is that it might take up to 3 weeks to get the package shipped. But they offer refunds and pay for postage if you send something back that is defective. I already have a list of things I want to order and may get a $100 Visa card to do just that.

It looks all cheaply made. Worse than even Etsy.

I have yet to order from either.

Not certain yet I believe Temu is directly from China.

This is Forbes (market analysis) saying this, not their competition...

@DeWayfarer I’ve bought something identical, same print and fabric from Amazon for over 4 times what Temu is offering. Why not buy it at a good discount instead of Amazon. And I was pleased with what I got on Amazon, not cheap made and nice fabric.

@cherokeepatti read the article. There's more than one point.

I don't believe they stand up for any products. Where at least the Amazon products they do.

Sometimes it's hard to tell which is a Amazon product or a reseller product on Amazon. You got to look closely from where it's coming.

Then check out the reseller's ratings very closely.

Same on eBay BTW. I have bought reseller items on eBay. Yet I check them out closely.

If on either a reseller actually doesn't have a website, be careful.

I don't say don't trust them because reviews on the reseller are sometimes very good. Not just the product. The actual reseller.
