Temu...
Part 2 ... Tips
Part 1 was August 26th, 2023
RETURNS WERE EASY VIA UPS PAID BY TEMU.
AS FOR MYSELF...
NOT GOING TO BUY ELECTRONICS FROM TEMU.
CLEARLY TOO CHEAPLY MADE.
Temu has thousands of items. Most are reasonable quality, some are low quality. Electronic items seem to be the weakest catagory. Temu promotes ongoing temptations to keep ordering, which is their plan. Some things are hard to resist.
Good items at unbeatable prices.
We've gotten lots of good items over the past 4 months at great bargins.

Things to remember...
Must have orders of $10+ to get free shipping. I keep my orders low, just over the $10 mark. Reason?Temu gives you a $5 credit if your order is late. 5 orders of $10 verses 1 order of $50 gives you 5 chances to have a late delivery. I gotten several $5 credits which save even more on future purchases.
Remember... its not Amazon... delivery is longer, 7-14 days, so be prepared to wait for your bargains.
(nothing beats or replaces Amazon)
Back to bargains... you will get seemingly endless emails offering bargains. They always show a original price (seems inflated) to make their price appear better.
Its all part of the game, take from it what you will.
Your cart... it works like all carts, select or deselect (save for later) or change qualities. Special bargain prices can expire. But more importantly, if you put an item in your cart and leave it there a couple of days, TEMU will occasionally reduce the price to encourage you to make the purchase. Just recently I put a coat in my cart. Waited 3 days, and they reduced the price.

They say original price (or compared to others) was $67.59.
Normal Temu price $30.89... left in cart special for $9.26. Used $5 credit for a late delivery... got the coat for $4.26. Now that's a bargain. Have bought 12-15 clothing items... happy with them all, price and quality.
BTW... Temu does credits for problem items immediately. Most times you don't even have to return the item, but if you do it's free via UPS. I have had problems with 4 items... 3 credited no return, 1 credited with free UPS return.
The Temu shipping facility is clearly outside the U.S. So it gets selected, shipped to the U.S., goes through customs, then shipped via 3-4 USPS locations to get to your home. The possibilities for late delivery are numerous... ka-ching... $5 credits!
My ultimate price $4.26
for this coat.
Deliveries... are via USPS, so its moderately slow. It will be interesting to see deliveries during the holiday shipping crunch. Increased probability of late orders? More $5 late delivery credits?
