The Truth About Temu, the Most Downloaded New App in America

Temu is the U.S. offshoot of Chinese e-commerce giant Pinduoduo. But it's also starting to develop a reputation for undelivered packages, mysterious charges, incorrect orders, and unresponsive customer service.

Didn't they have a superbowl ad slot this year? I didn't watch it but thought I heard about their commercial. Which runs like $50m-100m for a 30 sec spot. Obviously thought it'd be a good investment to sucker more people in.

Yep...they did.

Just another banggood or other direct-from-China stores.

You can tell that right away because the prices are too low to expect anything but the Harbor Freight approach "Use once or very lightly" to most products.

Not filling up our landfills fast enough I guess.

 

[BudAshes]

Yep...they did.

The ad has one mistake, it's actually "Shop like you want to make another Chinese billionaire."

I keep my FLAC files on my NAS and stream them when I'm going for a more relaxed, focused listening experience, I mostly listen to music on my phone via Bluetooth headphones when I'm doing stuff.

Right, I remembered it coming out around or after the first iPod models, but didn't recall the storage sizes on them. I meant it as a joke though, so I wasn't concerned about historical accuracy, haha.

Is Temu Shopping App a Communist China-Based Scam That Spies on Users?

Temu offers seemingly too-good-to-be-true deals on a massive range of products, but the app and website have been accused of shady practices.

I was ready to check out bunch of phone charging cables.

I ended up not doing it since Amazon price was similar but with a better reliability.

I could see this site useful for many little trinkets and toys. Very cheap.
