@bettycjung.bsky.social oh and my cart doesn’t look like that anymore because #Temu has removed every single item that is not in a local warehouse.

So I guess I could get that $8 bath pillow if I wanted to buy enough things to reach their $30 minimum and pay $2.99 shipping on each item.

Hahahha no. But the #MAGAts will think trump is winning until the local warehouses empty.

@_9CL7T9k8cjnD_ yep I said something about this yesterday regarding temu specifically.

The temu packages that come to this apartment complex are always delivered from Massachusetts to NH by regular people in cars (On Trak is the courier) I don’t know what those people got paid but it’s at least two hours round-trip for them if they’re only coming to this apartment complex.

And now they just won’t get paid anything because nobody here is paying $140 to get $40 worth of stuff. And I can assure you that I won’t be buying it from #Amazon to save maybe $40 from what I would spend at #Temu now that there are #tariffs

Friends, here’s the problem with this post:

It’s totally possible that the #Amazon seller is selling the exact same steamer because they purchased it from the same Chinese distributor.

It’s more possible that the #Temu seller is using photos from the branded steamer & you’re getting a counterfit knock off.

Idk that it matters when buying a $25 steamer, but I PROMISE YOU that the “Kylie Cosmetics” products that they have or had on that website are fake. But the photos look fine because they are stolen from Kylie cosmetics. (please don’t buy Kardashian products anyway, but #counterfeit #cosmetics are really dangerous.)

To those saying Temu was just crap anyway, I got $179 steamer for $25! : r/TemuThings reddit.com/r/TemuThings/commen

@stern @jaykuo this one would be mine if I needed anything in this cart.
I don’t remember what’s in here except for a bath pillow that cost about $10, the same bath pillow is on Amazon for $29 and I will never, but I guess I am not getting it here either.

My temu cart showing $48.32 in merchandise now has an $11.94 freight charge where shipping used to be $0 plus an $80.23 import charge for a total now of $138.80 (becauseI had a $1.68 credit)

😂😂 OMG so I had a #Temu cart (thru a browser F that spy app) and I don’t remember what I put in there except for an $8 bath pillow because amazon wanted $29 for the exact same model and I use the bath as pain management (and I am really thin and bony so I need a cushion.)

I have an old one that hasn’t fallen apart yet (it’s just gross looking from my hair dye) so I never pulled the trigger on this cart.

And now I never will 😂😂😂😂 WTF HAHAHHHAAHA (I can laugh because I don’t need any of these things, but damn)

Screenshot of a temu cart I forgot about. It shows the subtotal is $60.26, only $48.32 is the cost of the products, the rest is “freight charges” (I think shipping used to be free as long as you spent something like $10 or $15) But the haha part is the import charges are $80.22. So if I wanted to purchase the $48.32 worth of products my grand total with everything included would be $138.80. (because I had some credit for $1.68) ahahahhaha
