Got a bit carried away buying
cheapy cheap stuff on their site but actually it’s ok - received my order today. The only downside is the barrage of emails & Watsapps with offers. I have:-
3 rings which fit well ( 1 is adjustable). The”opal” one is very pretty.
A necklace with a “ moonstone” which looks like a marble - it has a glow in the dark constellation. Chain seems pretty good quality too.
Cushion covers with peacocks.
Suncatchers - one robin, one tree of life
Cute glass nightlights - one with stars, one with a rabbit looking up at the moon. They need USB plugs so can’t test the quality yet.

I know I sound like a twat but please watch the channel 4 documentary on temu where they test what is in some of the items from temu and it has some worrying results. they don’t conform to British regulations and are dangerous to use.

Absolutely. It's known that China use children and political prisoners to produce their goods. Add to that a load of safety issues (most recently excess lead in products) and on top of it all China harvests customer information via the company. Have a look at reputable news sites.

Temu is awful. Exploited workers in horrific conditions. Never buy from them.

I've always been too scared to use them for data reasons.

Same here @EveryOtherNameTaken

Everything that you listed is tat. Cheap tat from an awful website.

Keep a very very close eye on your bank account and PayPal now

I’ve never had any problems using them or AliExpress. In fact, I use the latter much more often. Everything has turned up and been as good or better than can be expected, considering the price.

Bear in mind that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. So if you see a Louis Vuitton on there, it’s probably a Lewis Veeton, ie a fake. China doesn’t enforce copyrights, so fakes abound.

I don’t buy electrical goods from there, and pay via the convenience store here so they don’t get my bank details. It costs about a pound more per order, but it’s worth it for the extra security.

I am scared to death of ordering from Temu?
Just heard about all the scamming for bank details?
