Temu online shopping tested in South Africa

[Jan]

We tested Temu with surprising results

MyBroadband recently tested Temu after its launch in South Africa and was surprised with fast free shipping and a pleasant overall customer experience.

Temu is an online marketplace for items directly from China, similar to Wish and Shein.

Not a chainsaw - a chainsaw blade sharpener

At least we know Werner isn't a chainsaw mass murder that's needed to sharpen his chainsaw before.

I still like to think it's a manual chainsaw... lol

Fun fact - the relationship between the first manual chainsaws and child birth is fascinating.

So two fake products yet the experience was good? What the heck? Sounds like my experience with Paki shops over the years. Few hits and mostly misses.

 

[Swa]

The real question is what do they do about the reported scammers?

MyBB: We ordered from TEMU and were surprised that it arrived.
That's a great ad.

Great, another site where you can buy cheap Chinese crap.

Just bought a bunch of **** with a 95% discount. Will see how it goes.

I bookmarked some things, went back the next day and they'd all shot up by R200-R300.
Not my kind of shop.

They are all like that, either snap things up when you see them on special or just wait a week or two for them to be on promotion again.
