Temu knock-offs - questions about blue tick verification

[Jan]

Beware these Temu tech fakes

South African Temu shoppers should tread carefully when they see products on the marketplace that appear to be from their favourite major brands. At this stage, there does not appear to be a definitive method for confirming their authenticity.

Many experienced Temu shoppers will know that the online store's primary appeal is its vast assortment of cheap knock-offs of popular products, including those in the tech category.

Same here. Local retailers very angry that their ripoff prices are being exposed.

I have the edifier over ear ones, 8xx something series. The price in SA (when on special) was the same as Temu.

No biggie - it's generally the same cheap Chinese stuff you can find on takealot... just way cheaper.

MyBroadband found multiple listings for Asus and HP products with this badge.

However, we could not find any reference to this badge’s meaning on Temu’s website or app, nor the criteria that the company used for a listing to qualify for the badge.

Did you order anything to confirm? Or is this based on suspicion alone?

Are they any good?

If you bought a knockoff from Temu, they have a zero hassles return policy.

Mention that in the hit piece next time.
Right at the top.

Let's see if you get a response.

Maybe in the Takealot knockoffs thread.

I would never buy tech stuff, especially expensive tech stuff from anyone online. I will walk into a store and buy rather. Call me old fashioned, well yes I am old and a trendy dresser.

I have bought a few things on temu and takealot

The two things I returned due to being fake, came from TAKEALOT

I like them, the ANC works well - I have a Razer BlackShark V2 Pro set - obviously made for a different purpose, but - prefer the Edifier over them.

Headpressure? I am looking for a comfy pair to watch TV at night cause the little earbuds keep disconnecting.

Obviously head dependent, but - I'm usually quite sensitive to pressure, I get headaches easily, and these are ok. Sometimes have to sit in two hour online meetings.
