I downloaded temu and bought some Chinese junk, it's all so cheap, they make a lot of money but they don't care, but what I want to point out are the spam mails and these gambling-like promotions, that's not normal.

It's also funny that with an offer like Cashback you get a time limit, which is simply extended after expiry hahaha
I am so hardened because of the slots but with the kids I can now understand why they are all in Debt to klana, I have never seen such an aggressive marketing strategy, alibaba for example is not like that.

Once and never again, do any of you use it regularly? I'd be really interested to know, it can be extremely addictive

With Klarna, it's just like a loan. Many young people have no experience with it and think that the few thousand euros will be paid off quickly. I've also had experience with paying in installments - but I wouldn't do it again. Either I can afford it or I can't. It's not a car that you absolutely need and where the purchase costs are very high.

That's also why I decided against paying the Bafög debt in installments. I'd rather pay it all at once and never have to worry about it again. The 10% discount was an additional incentive, but in my case it was only a few hundred euros anyway.

With Temu, I find not only the aggressive marketing but also the products questionable. I mean, if a product is offered for a few euros, then it will only cost a maximum of 1-2€ to manufacture. Are there certain safety factors involved? Hardly. Back then, Apple made headlines with Foxxconn. The product cost around $100 to manufacture. Sure, better materials, but certainly better working conditions than for a product where the manufacturing costs are $1-2. In addition, the materials cannot meet certain standards at such low prices. I would never buy and wear products that come into direct contact with my skin (smartwatches, for example) from Temu.

Yes, it's easy to overestimate and then you're trapped and in debt,

I saw a temu documentary from the Americans last month, that's how I know it at all, but they put a lot of money into advertising there, I think they also did it at the superbowl, they also ship it with DHL which is not cheap, the products like powerbanks and co come from China anyway, I think they have their expertise, there are just no intensive costs of control and employees, it's the same as at saturn, I'm curious how the products are.

Temu's plan is to collect data, that's the new currency, so they are taking a big loss to generate customers.

I ordered stuff for 35 euros or so, and just the shipping for all the stuff is actually already 35 euros or even higher, even a TV mount, the same one Amazon sells for 30 euros, for 6 € 😂

just snapped up a new strap for my watch for 1 euro on ebay, I see it like you, only original stuff goes on my skin, clothes and stuff I would never order there.

But I've never experienced that before, they really do everything they can to keep you buying, non-stop advertising if you don't stop it

It happens very quickly too. I mean, you turn 18, you can legally conclude contracts on your own for the first time in your life and of course you take full advantage of it. Especially if you're also doing an apprenticeship and earning your first euros. A few thousand euros are quickly collected. A pair of brand-name shoes, a few brand-name clothes and you're up to €500 or more and the goods you get for it don't feel like much

I have no experience with Temu etc., I tend to avoid these sites. Ebay is already bad enough, but on Aliexpress and co. you really find stuff that not even the 1€ stores want xD

I haven't watched the documentary. I currently want to watch 2 Spiegel TV documentaries (1-2 hours each), but it's not really worth it in this humid weather. I might watch them in the evening.

I also ordered something there once and I think that most of the products are really garbage. You end up buying things you don't need just because of these weird discounts. The only thing I like are the replacement heads for the electric toothbrushes. They're really cheap and do what they're supposed to do.

The products all have no value and they go to extreme lengths not to think just buy

We once had an order of 20 things that cost around $100 all in all I think half of them we wanted to send back even then they offer you because the return probably costs more keep the product and get XX refunded in the end I had only paid $30 for 20 products just so I wouldn't send it back haha

Unfortunately, the company behind Temu has already made a lot of negative headlines because the predecessor had a Trojan in the app and when that came out they did what any company would do they killed the app and shortly afterwards brought Temu which was just exactly the same only with even more advertising if I'm not mistaken

They are extremely focused on selling selling selling and even had aff programs where you could really make a lot of money if you sent people your link it's just one big sensory overload

Some things are really ok there and also great in terms of price compared to Amazon where there are some of the same products but everyone should be clear 90% of it is just junk

How is it with Temu? Do you always get the same price there, or does it change depending on which device you log in with? It's also the case with some other stores, for example, that it's more expensive with an iPhone, etc.

The same products are displayed at different prices on the platform, which is also really weird, if you put something in wk then you scroll a bit further and see the same products cheaper/more expensive 😂😂


When I have the stuff I'll delete it too and will never shop there again.
But for 1 time to test is already ok, have spent much more for nothing in the casino, there goes China scrap clear, besides I am also aware that it is scrap, so my expectations are low

Alibaba or aliexpress is already ok for repair things, just mega cheap compared to here, just save the middle man

Then I'll probably never buy anything there. I don't understand why I have to pay €10 for product XY just because I have a Macbook and someone else with an old HP laptop might only pay €6.

No, you misunderstood me, e.g. you are now looking for a cover for your cell phone at temu, find something and just keep shopping, the products are displayed repeatedly at different prices, sometimes it costs €1.50 and then suddenly the same thing for €1


The Apple thing is more in the iPhone and iPad store, where products are more expensive because Apple and the developers have realized that users are willing to pay more for apps.

With Android or Samsung and google and Co you can just side load and install apps yourself, which means you have more choice and more competition, which is not the case with Apple, which is why, for example, no Mac OS comes to the ipad even though the chips are now the same.

Apple could put an ipad with macOS and IpadOS together, but they don't because then you can buy directly from the developer, which you can't do with the ipad.

But that's exactly what apple doesn't want, because they earn more money that way than with the hardware itself.

That's why I won't buy an apple, such a dirty company.

It's not like that there are only thousands of manufacturers who all push each other down in price and Temu itself also wants to create incentives it is analyzed exactly how long you look at what exactly when you have things in the basket you are reminded 20 times a day to buy them according to the motto "Only so much available" "bals sold out" at some point there is already the point where the article is no longer available at this price but usually 20 other manufacturers still have it


Which is also often the case, for example, if you have looked at several products and not bought them, you suddenly get exactly this selection for 0.01 € displayed completely randomly with the note invite xy friends now and grab everything for this unbeatable price or buy for at least 100 € and get your articles where you were interested for 0.01 € something like that

So this is a single analysis tool that monitors you at every step and tries to encourage you to buy based on this by all means

Most of the cheap products on Amazon are identical to those on Temu. it's only cheaper on Temu because no boss from the West has to be financed.
I order there more or less regularly (via PC, as I detest apps). Usually wear and tear items that I only use for a short time, like a 10-pack of high E strings for guitar. They cost 1/4 of Ernie Balls and last better (including the tuning),

I certainly wouldn't buy a beamer or anything like that there. But I once bought a drone there for fun for less than 20 euros (model E99), you can smoke the camera in the pipe, but flying is really fun and perfect for getting started.

My daughter bought penis and nude cocktail glasses for the cafe, 2 euros each

The monthly "hands-free contest" alone pays for half the store rent...

At Amazun, the same glasses cost 5 - 7 euros, the nudes sometimes 10 euros. With 20 glasses, that makes quite a difference.

For me, Temu is just another supplier where you can get cheap prices, and it's also clear that people in the West have to grumble about it, as such drop-shipping stores from Asia reduce the win of some Western big-shots. Of course this should not be allowed!!!

The data security nonsense is nonsense. The stores' apps do no more spying than what Google and others have been doing for decades.

😂😂😂

Where is your daughter's store? I have to go there 🤪
You can steal as much data as you like, but annoying me with constant advertising is not necessary
But I'll see how the products are, Amazon can f**k me, even have ads in prime now, I canceled it, can f**k me
