Your temu orders

[DStvNothingOn]

I just use a new "Hide My Email Address" for every order where they require a min spend as a work around.

I didn't even know Temu had a min order requirement and it had free shipping

They allow new users to have no limit and once you buy a few times they give you a minimum spend. I have never bought from them and i get free shipping on a R10 item

That must be a new thing as last year it was still minimum 150 for my first order

But don't they pick up that the name/address/phone number is the same on the new accounts?

 

[DStvNothingOn]

Nope, I'm on Temu Address 4 now same shipping address same name, same everything.
Never had an issue. Just order in a private window, but after that log in to new account in new window.

But don't they pick up that the name/address/phone number is the same on the new accounts?

Don't think so as there the same devices with different brands on Temu too but the sound quality on those aren't bad

For little more I'd get soundcore from Takealot or Hificorp

Yeah pretty much, you'd also be certain of what you're getting. Well more certain that is.

Same issue, cost of bringing in and would it be real

I guess we all are bored of Temu now

 

[Vis1/0N]

I am still discovering stuff I really want. I am restraining myself as much as I can, since there is a lot of other items ( like my spot welder ) at home still in the packaging. It will come to use one day soon.

Yeah, R30 Skynet flat. Paid yesterday about R232 for a R62x order( R94x order had about R300 credit). The breakdown had duties and tax and service fee. There was a single clothing item worth R180 and the rest was electronics.

I have an order and it's the first time its being shipped with Skynet. All previous shipments was done with Buffalo.

Is the R30 service fee from Skynet legit? Don't think buffalo charged a Service fee

 

[Vis1/0N]

Legit and fair enough. It is Buffalo that is more obscure since they don't give you a break down of the costs. You have a lesser idea of the customs and taxes especially when it is is higher than expected. You order the same item, you would expect the same duties and taxes.

If they slip a lower rate when clothing is mixed with electronics, I am fine with that. But not the other way around.
