Or like Raccoons who just put everything on the website and if someone orders it they have to figure out how to make or steal one in 12 hours.
Can we also talk about how Amazon is becoming the same thing? If you search for anything electronic accessory related without using a brand name, the first stuff that pops up is drop shipped or repackaged tat. I’ve gone back to big box stores instead of Amazon for my electronic needs anymore because I at least know what I’m getting.
But the Nooklings have respect.
They also keep getting into places they have no business being in. I’ve had to uninstall their bloatware from too many phones
Raccoons would pick better things imo
Replace “raccoons” with “the Chinese mafia” and you’re golden.
So basically Jawas
The likely reason why this is so cheap. (Unfortunately, slightly political speculation):
Temu is a Chinese firm.
China makes it impossible to trade their currency in order to have more control over the currency. (Whether it’s bad/good is not important.)
Temu gives you the opportunity to sell something you buy with Juans and sell it for dollars/euros/…
If you can’t exchange Juans for another currency, you’ll buy/make a bunch of stuff you can sell for another currency.
Thankfully Amazon is also becoming unuseable so we’re back to a broader range of retailers. You’ve got to be fucking crazy to order anything important or expensive off of Temu, Shein or Amazon.
I’d rather give my money to raccoons
Temu really does feel like a treasure hunt with random stuff thrown together. What even are half these products?
Animal crossing yeah
If the raccoons also had sweatshops and used prison labour
I’m so mad at how accurate this is. But only cause I’m educated to temu haha these raccoons get me.
temu feels as if raccoons used slave labor to get diminutive packages thru customs!
I got a 23qt pressure cooker for $40
Buying something 2mm diam and 5 mm long, “please allow 1-3cm error for manual measuring”
That “Shop Like a Billionaire” ad they ran during the Super Bowl made me feel like I had the flu. I want one of those mid-budget Netflix documentaries laying out the exact chain of events that led to that ad getting approved by the company for a very expensive Super Bowl spot.
I feel like I would get this joke if I was a sucker who couldn’t recognize a shit service from a mile away and fell for it.
Like drunk Jawas….
These racoons found the items in a dumpster next to the Uyghur slave labor camp
That would be a great advertisement campaign
I’m very happy with my 1pc sink sponge holder black
We ordered some ballpit balls from Walmart and they delivered marbles from temu. Wtf? Why is Walmart reselling from temu? This is peak junk economy.
This is a cute way to look at forced labour
i still dont like online shopping cause i like to see what i’ll be buying in front of me
and the raccoons also practice slavery.
this is why i’m not a fan of online shopping, i want to see and feel the items before buying
