Your temu orders

They have a whole bunch of stuff I never know you could get. I have a cupboard full of these things that future me may, or may not use.

Yep, that's most of us on this thread. You know you're committed when you've started buying bags to store the gadgets.

I'm not sure what the stage after this is but it might involve relationship troubles and stuff.

I buy the woman stuff as well, so we're good.
 
First order placed today was a **** load of mosquito netting covers for all the windows in the house and then some parrot stuff.
 
Don't get me wrong, I know the cost is near zero for the actual products. It's the logistics that's expensive. The fact you can get a bag of plastic bits collected from all over Shenzhen to your house in SA within a couple weeks and for a few hundred bucks is nothing short of remarkable.

A single lens from New York cost me R 1000 to ship, plus customs clearance fees on top. A few sheets of paper cost R 600 to get to the UK.

With Temu you pay something like a Rand per gram for air freight, and the actual product is essentially free. It's nuts. So I doubt it's profitable when fully/reasonably accounted for. China has massively distorting subsidies all across their economy, for one thing.

Everything on Temu is extremely small and light.

So even though individual items are "cheap" (they are not actually cheap compared to production costs), a single pallet of Temu items likely runs into the 6 figures quite easily.

Temu is making kakloads of money.
