Their marketing is extremely aggressive and targets (younger) audiences who are very easily influenced and pressured to make rather hasty and uninformed decisions. They combine addicting gambling mechanics, FOMO and peer pressure through group buys to push unethically produced trash to people who don't need that stuff in the first place.

Buying directly from the manufacturer does open several trade loopholes, depending on your area of residence. In some European countries, the importer of a product is responsible for whatever happens with it. If the cheaply produced battery explodes in the post office and sets it on fire, the customer may be held accountable. Furthermore, safety regulations can and will be ignored since most of them only apply for products meant to be commercially distributed within the country - private orders may be exempt from certain regulations concerning electronics safety or product composition (harmful chemicals outside of legal limits due to sloppy production). Again, all that depends on your area of residence.

Shipping happens via air cargo - the least environmentally friendly way to transport stuff across the globe. And when you try to return the products you bought, TEMU will either tell you to just keep it and send you more, or the returned product will just end up on another landfill, polluting the vast Chinese landscape even further.

Next, there's the security risk of using a China-associated app. Security researchers have warned consumers numerous times against using these apps. Apple stated that TEMUs app mislead the users on what data it collects and for what reason. Be it deliberate or just "an oversight" - data of individuals is sensitive and should be protected against parties that might misuse them. Google removed Punduoduo's app (parent company of TEMU) due to it distributing malware. While you might not care who knows about your whereabouts, there's others that might need a bit more protection: kids, politicians, members of the military, journalists, judges or lawyers, Chinese expats that are routinely extorted, harrassed and threatened.

Lasty, there's the whole geopolitical area. China heavily subsidizes their giant companies to take customers away from competitors. A whole country is interested that US-based Amazon loses, that European industry loses, that local taxes and customs are every so slightly lowered. The money you spend directly in China will not benefit your local producers, your country or your native industry which leads to a whole lot of other problems that the US has been fighting for the better part of the 2010s. Trade war, people call it.

TEMU willingly loses money with every sale just to keep you from spending it locally.

Remember - when something is insanely cheap or free, chances are that YOU are the real product.

Are you fuckong kidding me?

An add for temu using the shein footage from literally the same add comapny saying the same thing about 750 dor shein. Temu and Shein are the same. Are they both pinduoduo or something? Both use child slaves, both sell counterfit and illegal product, both use factories notorious for overworking, they fucking have to be. Even the advertisers can't tell them the fuck appart

One For The Team

Maybe you saw their commercial during the Super Bowl. More than likely you have stumbled over their ads in your social news feeds. The odds are good that you have at least heard of them, even if you haven’t shopped there yet. Their tag line? “Shop like a billionaire.” And Temu has surpassed Amazon, Walmart, and Target put together as the most-downloaded app.



Temu (pronounced “tee-moo”) is the new online shopping site that wants to give Amazon a run for its money. And just like Jeff Bezos upset the apple cart back in 1995 when Amazon launched, Temu, which debuted in September 2022, aims to do the same with its rock-bottom prices, and by eliminating a middleman along the way.

Temu is based in Boston, but is owned by PDD Holdings, a company based in Shanghai China.  PDD also owns Pinduoduo, one of the most successful e-commerce companies there. Items are shipped directly from Chinese vendors, instead of relying on US warehousing and shipping.

In three short paragraphs, I have already tossed out several potential red flags that should give would-be customers pause:



a) ridiculously low prices b) Chinese-owned c) Chinese-made d) overseas shipping



In the era of TikTok bans by more than half of US states, worries about weather balloons, quality, data, 7-15-day arrival times, and…I could go on, but I won’t…I can see this one having a tough time gaining traction right now. And yet they are aggressively pursuing us. I can’t go a day without seeing them in my feed, and now the media have latched onto them as well. 



There is no doubt that PDD is cash-rich. Their $7 million ad on the Super Bowl is testament to that, not to mention the 8900 ad placements on Facebook and Instagram. They clearly want to make a splash.



But will people take the bait? I realize that low prices, especially during a period of high inflation, can be appealing, at least on the surface. But even though we have all embraced—willingly or not—the idea of Made In China products in our homes and on our bodies, will we provide our personal information and credit card numbers to buy things more or less directly from a company that is clearly tethered to a nation we don’t exactly trust very much?

I am not one for conspiracy theories, but I can see how skeptics might think that both TikTok and Temu are the new Trojan horse, and not a lot unlike that balloon. It’s just that these are more subtle, because they offer entertainment and shopping, yet manage to get their foot in the door. Lots of doors. And maybe more than just their foot.



Of course, you may also be wondering how Chinese fast-fashion purveyor Shein (pronounced “she-in”) fits into this. Shein is a competitor to Temu and Pinduoduo, and offers similarly low prices for what is arguably disposable clothing. But hey, you’ll look good for one or two nights of clubbing.

I could be wrong on all of this. Maybe Temu is for real, and everything will turn out OK in the long-run. Maybe Amazon will be forced to react, although their 2-day shipping and easy returns are hard to beat. What are you going to do if that dress doesn’t fit just right, or the sunglasses you bought fell apart the first time you wore them? Send them back to China? Good luck with that.



You see, we really have no problem with buying Chinese-made products. That ship sailed long ago. It’s just that we have American filters in place, like Amazon, to—we hope—properly vet and manage everything. They ostensibly keep us safe from those Trojan horses and balloons.

Color me wary. I’m watching and waiting, but I am in no hurry to go shopping just yet. Besides, I really don’t want to shop like a billionaire, much less be one.

Nennt mich Schlaumeier. Aber irgendwie war es dort erwartbar, dass der E-Commerce Hype nach Corona bzw nach dem Reopening nachlässt. Zudem waren die Unternehmen durchweg überbewertet. Jetzt wurden die Aktien abgestraft. China-Werte sind nur deshalb vergleichsweise gut, weil sie schon vorher (vor 2022) dramatisch eingebrochen sind. Nun kommt noch die Inflation hinzu. Und eine strenge Notenbank. Also alles Negative eingepreist? Zeit für ein Comeback der E-Commerce Titel? Ich halte mich zurück und greife nicht zu. Eure Meinung zu E-Commerce? ⚠️ Werbung, da Markennennung.

Report: Temu becomes most downloaded app in the US

- By Nuadox Crew -

Temu, an online shopping platform, has grown in popularity in the United States since its introduction in September. 

The quick rise of the site, which offers largely Chinese-manufactured ultra-low-priced items, has made Shanghai-based Pinduoduo Inc. the latest Chinese business to find success in a country increasingly leery of Beijing as a technological rival.

According to analytics firm Sensor Tower, Temu has racked up 10.8 million installations in the United States in less than four months, making it the country's most downloaded mobile app in any category between November 1 and December 14.

CRITICAL WARNING!!!! Radio talk show hostess, Kim Komando, did some digging about TEMU and this is what she found!

Seemingly overnight, everyone’s talking about Temu (pronounced “tee-moo”), an online shopping app that boasts deals that seem too good to be true, like $17 wireless earbuds, $1 “gold” necklaces and $23 wedding dresses.

Over 50 million Americans have downloaded Temu since it launched state-side in September 2022, after it gained traction with expensive Super Bowl ads promising to let you “shop like a billionaire.”

Today, Temu is the most popular shopping app in the U.S. behind Amazon. But most of us don’t know much about the app’s true origins. Reader Daniel Mayer asked an important question, “Is [Temu] something we should be concerned about?”

So, I did some digging. And as it turns out, yes, you absolutely should be. Here’s what I found:

Where did Temu come from?

This isn’t some fly-by-night operation. Temu is based in Boston, Massachusetts, by PDD Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: PDD). PDD is headquartered in Shanghai, China.

PDD also owns the e-commerce platform Pinduoduo headquartered in — you guessed it — China. So, Temu is a Communist China-based app and site.

What you need to know before using Temu

First, you’re buying goods directly from manufacturers in China and other parts of the world. That’s why shipping times are often 12 days or longer. The prices are low because the goods are cheap. The pictures of what you see advertised may not be what you actually get.

Temu’s BBB rating is 2.21/5. Reviews at TrustPilot are interesting, with 38% 5-star reviews and 41% 1-star reviews.

But that’s not the worst of it.

Temu is downright dangerous.

The app is a clever, pervasive digital stalker. As you shop, Temu monitors your activity on other apps, tracks your notifications and location and changes settings.

🛑 It gets worse. Temu gains full access to all your contacts, calendars and photo albums, plus all your social media accounts, chats and texts. In other words, literally everything on your phone. This is scary

No shopping app needs this much control, especially one tied to Communist China. If you’re using Temu, delete the app from your phone ASAP.

On iPhone, Long-press an app, then tap Remove App > Delete App. Tap Delete to confirm.

On Android, touch and hold an app, then tap Remove App > Delete App > Delete.

Pro tip: If you downloaded Temu, to be safe from Chinese spies, you really need to do a full factory reset.

But wait, there’s more! Temu’s sister app was removed from Google Play because of malware.

Do not buy from this company, or use their app!

COPY AND PASTE PLEASE

is temu actually significantly worse than pinduoduo or do foreigners just not know how to use ecommerce and end up buying garbage
