Reply To: Shopping on Temu

I don’t use Temu or Alibaba or any of the other China outlets. For multiple reasons.

1. You too often don’t get what you (thought you) ordered. Like @Wolfie65 said you really need to read the description but even then you might be in for a surprise.
2. Quality if varying greatly and more often then not Temu and the others sell stuff that has been discarded by manufacturers (See Big Clive’s unbagging videos for that)
3. Often times they sell pirated/stolen designs.
4. Import taxes and fees. With last years changes in regards on what you can import freely in Germany you can (potentially) be in for a surprise. If your order arrives at all in the first place.

No, I’d rather buy locally and when that is not possible use a store that is within the EU so that I can have “some” assurance about buyers rights.
