Temu

I'm late to the party, but just registered on Temu so that I could see what it was all about. I'm wondering what other's experience has been with knock-off and cloned items? I haven't found a good way to search for specific items without weeding through pages of junk, but there seem to be some good deals. I have no doubt the quality is inferior, but I'm wondering how much so. I might have to buy a few things out of curiosity.

I don't want this thread to turn into a bashing of Chinese cloning, I'm pretty sure we all disagree with the ethics and politics of the issue.

I did not have a good experience. To say the stuff is cheap is an understatement. I won't ever use a again.

I have used it for items that I dont really care a ton about the quality. SD card holders, and other various plastic boxes. They have all lasted plenty long enough.

Ive used AliExpress which is like a Chinese version of Amazon. I found the quality all over the place. For example I bought a few different brands of knockoff "whopper plopper" bass lures. Some were great, couldn't tell the difference and some were terrible.

Thanks for the thread. I’ve looked at a couple of items on those sites and considered it a few times. Kind of always just walked away wondering if it was worth saving a few (?) dollars to potentially end up with junk. Interested to hear how others have fared.

It's all crap. Tried on some Garmin watch batteries. Took forever to ship and were bad when I got them

It's good for stuff that you know is going to be cheap garbage. Some stuff has been ok. I actually bought a pair of gym pants and they are not bad at all. Just depends on the stuff and your expectations honestly.

Perfect for the guys that like to live on the edge.

Also guessing that the people that say they get good deals all the time are the same people that always win on the slots.
