Temu Is a Joke That Never Ends

I mean seriously, how is Temu even in business anymore? The many memes are simply...true. It's the BIGGEST scam company that ever existed who continues to get order after order and people just still buy stuff from them. This was supposed to be a throw. It was a great price. But it's about as big as a flag you would put on a pole outside your house. Are they serious? I hope Temu is cashing in while they can. At some point this is going to catch up to them. It has to. How many miniature items can we buy from them before we figure out... They are full of sh*t and few things they sell are actually worth buying?

I am not going to disagree with you. We bought some "lawn gnomes" a while back, and they were like thimbles. Seriously. The company is a joke.

Yeah, it's a Chinese company. I know your question was answered, but I hate to leave responses left without some sort of response. lol

Our Government has warned us through the local media. They told us not to buy anything on Temu because it's trash.

@porwest At first I thought it was to protect the local business, but the more I read about Temu, the more I think they are right to warn us.

@LadyDuck There is a lot to be suspect about China. They are not our friends, and I suspect not yours either.

I've had no trouble so far but I do try to check out the dimensions if that's what is important.

For me, anything that is for my feet has to be perfect. I usually buy very expensive shoes (except for my flip flops the original) and luckily they last me a long time.

I didn't order it, the wife did, so I am not sure if they listed the dimensions. I'd have to ask her.

The thing that worries me about them are the reports of them using your information improperly?? Some members have been satisfied with their purchases. I won't buy from them. Have a good weekend.

You just have to only purchase certain things, just like anywhere you shop from. I have a bunch of stuff from them that is really good.

@porwest I have feet that need good shoes. When I found Skechers I fell in love with them. I can walk and they don´t hurt. I could not use a beautiful pair of sandals that are not of the right size. And I have plenty of good paintings in my walls so I would not place them there no matter how beautiful they are.

The going joke is that everything is tiny. It turns out to be true more than not. You'd probably be okay with the sandals. But so many other things tend to be miniaturized for whatever reason.

As much as I would like to save a buck, I don't really trust places like Temu and Wish. if I do order from them, it's a product where I don't have to care so much about the quality as long as it works.

@porwest I always try to read as I have seen some small ones. Sometimes they are called lap throws or lap blankets. They can feel great over the legs.

I have several employees I work with that buy from them like it's the only business out there. One guy I work with buys crazy t-shirts from Temu. I don't how good the quality is, but he comes to work in some pretty funny and outrageous shirts.

I think she said she paid like $12 for it. I could be wrong. That's $12 wasted. We're going to toss it onto the back of the loveseat in the camper for a decoration. I'm a navy veteran, so it fits.
