They are a terrible company that sell cheap crap from China.

It’s not quality clothing but if you don’t have a lot of money or need an outfit for one time use they are good.

Chewbecca · 22/10/2024 12:37

Crap quality with likely very poor ethics.

SereneFish · 22/10/2024 12:38

Awful company that relies on modern slavery to produce those low, low prices and low, low quality goods.

It’s not quality clothing but if you don’t have a lot of money or need an outfit for one time use they are good.

In this situation Vinted would probably be better as you'd see a photograph of the actual items and it would be a recognisable brand where you could google the sizing or have things from the same shop already as a reference.

Some Temu stuff could be acceptable but you've no idea what you're getting really and it's probably not worth trying to return for a refund.

You can also get similar cheap clothing from Amazon, if you look for reviews with photographs you can see a real, not airbrushed/CGI item, it will be delivered quickly and you can return anything that doesn't fit for free.

Now trying to think what I wrote that was so controversial. I think I said look on Vinted or Amazon instead.

I got my kids a novelty sweatshirt each from Temu, and was surprised at the quality to be honest. Couldn’t say if this was a one off or not!

EmpressaurusDeiGatti · 22/10/2024 12:46

I wouldn’t touch Temu or Shein for all the reasons listed.

Rudeypoohs · 22/10/2024 12:46

No idea why my comment has been censored 😂 I literally said the jumpers I got my kids from there were ok?!

EmpressaurusDeiGatti · 22/10/2024 12:46

My comment was censored too - I said I wouldn’t buy from there or from a similar site!

Deliberationdivinationdesperation · 22/10/2024 12:47

I'd never buy from temu! Aside from the unethical practices, there have been loads of news reports about unsafe levels of chemicals in the clothes and shoes such as really high levels of lead and phthalates etc so they're not even safe to wear.

EmpressaurusDeiGatti · 22/10/2024 12:47

This is an experiment. Shein.

Edited to add that I wondered if that was the dodgy word.

It's an automatic thing that happens when you type certain words, intended to weed out spam. Your post will appear soon. Same thing happened to me before.

There is a programme about it.
