Your temu orders

Why are you buying random stuff that you don't want?

I'm not. I'm saying, hypothetically, if you go to the China mall looking for something specific, you might not find it and buy the next best thing, which is probably not what you wanted.

Those that are buying prints, how are you framing them? Framing is kaak expensive it seems?

 

[Dups!]

You guys are amateurs, I have credit that is sitting at R240 currently. Ya'll are talking about getting nothing in return.

Up your game boys and girls.

You did say "random stuff" though... but I see your point. I would rather say "you end up buying stuff that you didn't know you wanted"

Which is why I considered getting the aluminium prints instead, but they’re smaller and likely to get bent during shipping.

Go to your local Builders Warehouse, buy some screws. planks (they can cut them to size and you really should have a drill/driver), and a heavy duty stapler and go on Youtube for instructions on how to properly stretch fabric on a frame.

Meh, not for a R60 print that’s hanging in 1000s of South African homes by now.

Not keen on the block method will lose too much of the print around the frame.

Then buy something actually worth framing.

Like this, which is part of my next order:

Yeah this is definitely not an ultrasonic cleaner.

It's basically a box with a built in bullet vibrator.

Tried putting a dirty/rusty olive spoon in it and it did nothing.

Then I read the manual and it says it wont do rust.

Better off putting your stuff in the dishwasher.

Probably the worst item I've bought.

I am looking for an ultrasonic cleaner. But those ones are too small for my application. Can't find anything on temu that would work. And they don't even sell the transducers to DIY. I have tried searching.

Next best option I guess would be to hack/diy one of those cheapie massager guns. I dunno.

what do you want to clean ? ,lots of ultrasonic units are not efficient on certain items , I used to import the Dolphin range of medical grade units ,mainly for the tattoo guys .if you want to spend proper money i can put you in contact with a very good distributor ,if you just want to shake the kak out of something ,turn a orbital sander upside down and stick the container onto that it gets quite exciting .

Right up my alley. lmfao.
I have a silencer cleaning solution I use to clean my rifle silencers with. I submerge part of the unit for a day or so. Would like to see if I can speed up the process.

Looks like my order of R1700 odd has been split into 2 parcels. Had to pay R55 fee now for one parcel. Still waiting for the other fee to pop up.

Second part of order is shipped. 2 tracking numbers. Had to pay R117 on the second package.

2 more orders, garden ornaments sigh, hopefully done when the little garden done. If SARs comes a knocking, I'll send pics of the garden and clearer photos of the clasps.
Only 2 things not 100% happy with the Rog Ally silicon cover and the transparent sticky plug holders. They aren't sticky, and the cover restricts the analogues. Though it does mane the Ally more comfy to hold

to be honest you will waste your money on ultrasonic for that ,they are not the wonder drug people make them out to be ,you would need to spend at least 4 k on a machine to clean that effectively .40khz and 50 watts as a minimum ,100 watts even better .your solution is what must do the work .in ultrasonic you cannot just use any cleaner ,some are flammable some give off fumes when heated which is toxic ,a water based degreaser should work ok .loose transducers and their drivers won't be an option for you unless you can get the transducer spot welded to the bowl properly .otherwise they burnout .a container with cleaner ,non flammable again and a small pump ,fishtank pump to push the solution through the device and create movement should suffice .sold lots to reloaders and got mixed results ,plain tumbling and washing worked better for most of them .

Just a warning for those who get that lottery spinning wheel. it varies between 90% off 1 item+7 for 55%, or 90% off 3 cheap items+ 7 55%, 100% off 1 7 off 55%, 90% off 3 cheap items,

I used the 90% off cheap 3 items + 7 for 55%, Anyway most items are more than 55% discount so I end up paying more for them but less for the 90% items. the selection is limited. I could get for same price on lightning deal so discounts were not worth as much as they claim

If I click on my items the order total is R200 due to the 90 % discounts. However without the price not on lightning deal is R340. But because I had to choose the bad prices as you cannot search and you select from list, temu calculates the discount higher. Result is R100 customs on an order of R200.

Order has no clothing. R100 using 15% can only be calculated off 666.67. Yet the order was for R200, without discount is R340 if there was no discount. So the discount temu claims I got with the lottery wheel it so much higher, the result is I pay in total R200+R100 customs for total of R300. Without the spinning wheel I would have paid R300+R45 = 345 total. I just saved R45.
