Who is buying that shit? I’ve never once heard someone say “look at this great thing I got on temu!”. I’ve literally only seen wish-fail stuff. It seems like a company that extracts pennies from putting shit directly into the landfill.
My coworker is obsessed with Temu. He buys like 10 things, typically 8 of them are garbage and he returns them and 2 are fine which he keeps.
I've never heard him talk about great things he gets, but he's constantly talking to me about "Look how little I paid for this thing!"
It’s like the hot pocket of stores- take from package, place directly in toilet.
