My package just arrived and I the kitchen tap thing works really well.

https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=601099532872304

I bought it when it was on special at R70.

You turn it vertically to work like a normal tap. Press the button for high pressure and put it horizontally for that shower.

That was a bargain for something I will use daily

Do you replace the whole tap? Or is it an add on?

It screws on the tip. It's an add on. I just unscrew the current kitchen tap metal tip and screw this one on so it fitted mine perfectly. It does come with plastic bits of 3 sizes and washers if your tap end doesn't fit, but mine didn't need those.

Buffalo and their third party couriers are in the pits, I got a SMS at 5:28 in the morning telling me that my order has been packed in the vehicle but order still has not arrived....why would they even bother to notify me when they know delivery wont be completed.

I think we will have a new disorder soon.

Peer pressure for the Temu experience, for what it's worth I hope the stuff I order won't be as bad .

Well if the schits were delivered on time lucky you, the suspense of finding out if I focked up is killing me.

Just have a major f'up. One of the items in a previous order was not complete so I had the option of refund or reshipment. I selected reshipment. This time they sent it via Fastway and not Bufallo and fastway handles the customs. They don't even have a breakdown of item category so are much worse than Buffalo

The item value is R120. However I got notification from fastway I have to pay VAT and Customs to the value of R170. Not sure if is the value of the original order amount or Fastway just has additional fees.

I would expect customs to be free for a reshipment of an incomplete order.. I am not going to pay customs more than the order amount so I assume I will have to wait a couple of months until it gets returned.

I contacted Temu support and explained this to them.

This was their response

Thank you so much for waiting and upon checking here on my end. There may be legal implications, fees and tax obligations associated with using Temu. Please kindly note that it's your responsibility to understand and comply with relevant laws and regulations, and that you have to pay relevant fees and taxes. We recommend you talk with a tax professional if you have any questions.

My package was on the same truck from jhb, same departure time and date. Arrive in CPT yesterday morning. But scanned a bit a later. Still waiting, as it will be Monday, since I used the works address.

Has anyone ordered solar floodlights from Temu, and if so are there any good ones?

Haven't mounted mine yet, but using the science of my eyes. I am guessing the same amount as light as 20w led flood light, slightly smaller spread. I am impressed with it, but smaller than what I expected.

Lesson is to never select reshipping as temu uses fastway for reshipping. So if my original order was R900 with vouchers. one item worth R120 is resent but customs stays the same as if I reshipped the whole order. Huge redflag there. But I think fastway might charge you full shipping cost or they use the original order value for custom. No wayI am paying 150% customs on one item. Let this be a warning. DO NOT SELECT RESHIPPING.
I either going to rewrite it off or just wait months for it to be returned to temu eventually.

Now we see if fastway staff get long fingers and take it for themselves. Will be able to tell in a few months if it disappeared into the abyss.

Safer option is then refund and reorder

Did an Shein order after my current Temu orders and it looks it is being delivered by Buffalo way before my Temu orders.

Got my Shein stuff, still waiting for my Temu stuff.

No thanks. There's only one "him" in my shower, and that's me...

I've ordered the "600W" ones from TAL.

They're bright enough, but nowhere near those power levels. At 2500 lumens probably equivalent to 20-30W normal floodlights. The battery is starting to last shorter on one of them...

But can the lenses on those fling stones at 102 miles per hour like the ones in my link can?

And do they have #Withstand Radiation?

Don't think so...
