Temu.. Online shopping.. Never heard of it until Alex mentioned it on here..
I flicked through... Good old cheap stuff..
I thought I would give it a try..

I now am the proud owner of a LOVELY corded winter coat with BIG pockets..
I love it..

When I first saw it I thought.. Too cheap to be any good.. I bet the seams are falling apart ..
I bet the colour is a shitty brown..

WRONG... Delivery was brilliant... The coat was as picture showed.. The finished article was fine...
And it didn't cost me a bomb...
I shall use them again , that's for sure..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

I use Temu a lot, I used to always buy from Ebay but my daughter told me to try Temu, They are great, just waiting for a bird bath to arrive. With the clothes you get what you pay for, I got last years winter jacket from them and it's good for this year too.

Yep, I love Temu and buy bits n bobs (including clothing) from them.

I do avoid electrical items though due to the potential dangers of these not being manufactured nor checked to appropriate safety standards.  I suspect

Never tried Temu. My son does. I mostly use AliExpress for cheap Chinese stuff with quick deliveries. Might give Temu a look.

I have bought several things from Temu and, to be honest, although made in China, the things I have are all of good quality and work as described.
I do agree, though, about not buying certain things which may not live up to some of our safety standards.

One specific example I had thought about buying was one of those telescopic ladders, because they are much smaller and easier to handle than the ladder I already have.  Unfortunately, I have read reviews (not only of Temu) that they can be too flimsy and could fail.  I wouldn't like to be up at the top if that were to happen.
