IMO the quality of the clothing received from both Shein & Temu isn't great at all. The fabric used is clearly the lowest grade you can get, but hey, you get what you pay for.

On the flip side, Temu has been great for getting electronics, like DC to DC buck converter and some others

Jinne I guess moaning isn't going to get anywhere is it? Just repost after repost. Such a big brain move - split the publication into various 'divisions' then repost each others articles. This article was posted last Tuesday, reposted again today.

Can’t get many things from Temu like Philips stuff or Ecoegg.

No, but you can get unbranded Chinese stuff on Takealot for 100% more than on Temu.

You can get unbranded Chinse stuff from any shopping mall really, but you can't exactly order a Bosch washing machine from Temu. (if you can, well the shipping and duties would be insane).

No you can not. It's also the kind of thing I'd buy in a brick & mortar shop though.

Well. I previously purchased from Superbalist. And the service was horrendous.
Delete the app after that experience and never bought there again.
So, the question I ask is:
Didn't Superbalist cause their own downfall? To treat their current customers with disrespect.
How many other customers have received the same experience?
Look at all the factors, not just one factor

It's must be you. Sorry maybe change your address and name.

Superbalist is still operating successfully. What downfall are you talking about?
