I keep seeing ads for it and everything looks very cheap. Are the products any good?

    Felt like an honest question to me. I’d rather people ask about scams and get real information than stay ignorant and possibly rope others into it.

      I thank the OP for giving us the opportunity to call out a company so singularly bad for the future of humanity…but it did remind me a lot of astroturfing-style marketing I’ve seen on other social media.

        If it’s astroturfing (I don’t think it is), they need to fire the marketing manager who approved asking a site like this if their shit store is good lol

          It’s not hard to look at my profile. Just some guy out in Wisconsin asking for advice. Sorry I brought up such a terrible question. I guess some people just like to show everyone how much better they are than others…

            For what it’s worth I don’t think you did anything wrong OP. Got some good info out of it. I’ll share the downvotes with you.

            Oh I’m on your side here, man. I was saying why it doesn’t make sense that you’d be a corporate account lol

      Yeah feels like an honest question as well to me. I don’t get all the downvotes and hate for this post. It doesn’t seem anything like shilling. I’ve never shopped Temu but I’ve seen the ads, made my assumptions, and now this discussion gives me more information on it rather than doing trial/error. How is a question like this a bad thing?

      I do understand the visceral responses based off Temu’s most likely lack of safety and ethics, but at the end of the day it’s everyone’s own personal call on how responsible they want to be with their purchases - caveat emptor I guess.
