Does anyone else click on TEMU ads just to find out what the object is ?

I guess it's a clever marketing ploy .

An egg dispenser. Stackable.

I want one now. Does it come in other colours?

CJ4713 · 08/02/2024 09:07

No. Never clicked on anything from them!

emmaempenadas · 08/02/2024 09:09

Yes. Constantly and then I forward to my friends to see if they can guess what the item is.

No because I did once and it followed me around. I would never buy from them either. Dodgy as fuck company.

Temu isn't dodgy, they're an online market place where, mainly wholesalers, sell their goods. I've seen stuff I've bought from Temu, or seen it on sale elsewhere for a lot higher price. You can check the reviews even filtering to just poor reviews.

My husband had a package from Temu. Turns out that he doesn't even know what the contents are for. After a bit he said that one item was a kiwi fruit peeler......... I'm thinking of hiding his C C.

Have taken screenshots and put it through google lens to identify things before. Sometimes it works. It's a cold day in hell when I click on their ads. You don't know how their people are being treated.

Definitely we got the best bingo presents ever from there at Christmas such random stuff 😄

It's tat from dodgy factories in china. Staffed by prisoners and they avoid tax and add to the world's carbon footprint by airfreighting everything.
They have gamified the app to hook people in to keep buying.
It's like a horrible real world capitalism case study. From a communist country. You couldn't make it up.

Whatever we think of their ethics, it's massively popular

That made me laugh.

DD and I have a game called spot the Temu. We look at things for sale in shops and identify which ones were actually bought from Temu for a fraction of their now for sale price. Gift shops are particularly good for this game and DD is far too good at it. She must have spent far too long online browsing!
