My heartache with TEMU is the data collection. They are as invasive as any company can be. There is a good possibility they are a front for the CCP. Beware.
I do not download the app. I go straight to website from my tablet. No banking info or apps on my tablet. I can still leave things in my cart, so there are cookies, but hopefully no access to my banks.
It's obvious that it is a CCP operation. Even the ads for them reinforce that. Always over jesturing and the obvious attempt to "Americanize" the ads. As for the products a lot of stuff on Amazon is playing middle man for TEMU but you can also find stuff like this a places like Big Lots, Ollie's, Five Below, ECT.
It is a great worry that Xi knows that you like to give mothers a neck massage.
@@albertmagician8613 that isn't the problem, that additional listening devices can be added to a room where sensitive information might be discussed is. It might be one in a million shot but there are several cases where the right(or wrong) thing was said resulting in a failure on an otherwise sure thing.
@albertmagician8613 LOL probably
Most of the issues I have had were individual sellers not protecting their fragile items. Temu will give up to 2 item refunds per order, so far with no physical returns needed. I am happy with my items for the most part.
I'd love to see first a follow up to see how long your gear lasted and second how long they keep their prices like this. I can see these slowly creeping up once the honeymoon is over.
Thats how they all work, prices creep up after honeymoon. Amazon is perfect example. None others will behave different
It's propably nothing worse or bettter than all other online china shops. You may be surpriced sometimes that stuff that cost alnost nothing actually works quite well, and some of it is just junk. And I do put Amazon in that same category. They are not better than Ali Express in any way. The guaranties you get for money back in some of the more "premium sites" sites is usually nothing woth anyway. Most of these online shops can have both absolute junk and also some pretty good stuff. I do not usually use them but if I do It's usually cheap stuff that I really don't have any high expectations for .. that way I don't get annoyed if it doesn't work as expected. I never would buy more expensive stuff online so if someone ripps me off I don't loose that much 🙃
@mrdali67 agreed. I've bought total junk on Amazon and actually found some very useful, working stuff on Temu
The honeymoon period only lasts 1-2 orders. Next order demanded a minimum of $50 to checkout. Then it jumped to $60 min order to checkout. All I wanted was one item for $11. The other 'con' are the offers. I got a 100% Back offer (but in coupons), which also required a minimum spend to redeem the coupon. The real impressive thing for me about TEMU is how the algorithms work. Much like Amazon, just a lot more transparent. ;-) haha. Needless to say, I removed the app.
@user-mh6gb3uz3i 🤷♂️
I loved seeing the sub count slowly ticking up. Keep up the hard work.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support :)
Don't know if this applies to TEMU but, I've been buying clothing from Asian sites for many years and Asian letter sizes can be 1 to 2 sizes smaller, depending upon the design, to adjust to Asian builds. If it's unclear if the sizes are US, EU, Asian, etc., it's best to ask the seller first. Remember, they're selling internationally and the US is not the center of the universe.
100% agreed - that's why I ordered a L and not XL. I had a feeling it wouldn't fit like an unwashed large 👍
And they disintegrate after 2nd wash
@jpslaym0936 haven't had that issue yet. But it wouldn't shock me if they did
Just remember, an Asian 8XL WILL fit a US midget 🙂
@BrilliantDesignOnline 😂😂😂 sorry, couldn't help but laugh at that 🍺
My only issue is kind of political. I think they are walmarting online sales. In other words the Chinese government is helping them buy the market. They are selling under cost in order to kill off the competition. This is not a legitimate free market activity. Those prices will slowly creep up once they have a larger share of the market. They will frog boil us until they are the leader.
That's a fair and lucid argument, and you may very well be right!
Gotta start somewhere. Warren Buffet in the making.
👍
Thats such a seppo-centric attitude. Sounds like you're only comfortable with U.S.A companies monopolising online sales. You don't seem to care about everything Amazon sells being made in China so quit being low key racist and hop off that dumb high horse
I almost couldn't write that comment to be honest. I almost crippled myself laughing so hard at the notion of anyone earnestly believing in a "legitimate free market" My sweet summer child 🤣
You have to be carefull about trends. For example, if you buy 2 pairs of shoes it will adjust its asking price for your size upward the next time you return. If you pick shoes that run $30, then it will show you more expensive shoe options. So pick a few pairs that are extra cheap to add to your cart but don't buy them. If you watch green shoes to much, they will start costing more etc.
Great tip! I'm sure they have an algorithm similar to Amazon. Happens there, so. I look for products to get sent to me for review that are out of my price range, then a day or so later, "we'd think you like....", and it's all high end stuff. Algorithms hard at work lol
I love Temu! While the shoes compare to Walmart in durability, the electronics far exceeded my expectations.
Same! Iwas so pleasantly surprised!!! The things I buy on Amazon (adapters, switches, etc) are SOOOOOO much cheaper! 100%
Temu is awesome! I buy from them all the time. I got started buying from them after buying so much stuff from Wish and being disappointed. I have rarely been disappointed by anything I’ve gotten from them.
I'm VERY careful about where & who I buy from online, because I don't want to give credit card details to just any company - But I started with Temu because of their low minimum order & was very pleased. It's been about a year now, and exactly like you said: Inexpensive products, lots of handy dandy stuff (chain extensions) Kitchen stuff, nick knacks - very satisfying. They also fair about package delays, damaged goods, or dissatisfaction with product. I too am not pleased with their clothing. It's usually polyester - I prefer cotton, and cheaply tailored, BUT not baaad for the price. I just won't be buying clothing, there - Other than that, I just LOVE the unusual handy dandy things to use around the house. Glad to know the review was a good one, because I really like shopping there!! Keep up the good work. Namaste🙏!!
I love Temu! I have ordered a number of things from them and have been happy with all of them. Including a smart watch, which I think I paid about $12 for. Maybe a little more. It works great and I have accidentally showered with it on a couple of times. (It says water resistant.) No damage. Got a pair of Lenovo (actual brand name) earbuds and they sound awesome. Wow. A lot of Sinophobia on here. Basically all of the items I have bought from Temu have been shipped from within the US. That explains the short shipping time compared to Wish, which can literally take months. It also means they have warehouses in the US and so employ Americans.
💪💪💪
They have a Canadian Warehouse as well!
@WiseguyKevIn2 didn't know that!
I've had good dealings with them as well. My only complaint is getting more information about a product prior to purchase (ex, what kind of batteries does it take, etc)
Agreed! They could be a little more product detailed :)
I really like this video;very interesting. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Absolutely! Hope you found value in it :)
I have used Temu about 8 times for a variety of purchases. With one very low cost exception, all products were reasonable quality for the price, shoes were a good fit in most cases, electronics and torches were very good value. However, they are very likely hurting retail outlets in my country (New Zealand) with their low prices. And much of Temu's clothing is made of polyester or poly-cotton. Delivery times varied from 5 to 10 days.
👍
We'll have to see how long they can sustain such low prices with indeed quite decent quality for the price point. Another video about them pointed to the shipping model as one of the main reasons for the lower prices. Nothing is pre-positioned, but shipped from China, at time ordered, through a singe Indonesian air shipper. Lack of pre-positioning is the reason why shipping takes a week or so, but air shipping is why it does not take a month or more. Incidentally, a week or so of shipping is fine for me. I've always stayed away from Amazon Prime for that reason: I can always wait a few extra days (or even more if I have to wait until I can group enough orders to meet the threshold) for free shipping.
Agreed. We shall see 👍
I ordered a so-called leather ladies handbag. They took my money but never sent it out with the rest of the items that I ordered. I tried looking for the seller's details to ask where my bag was. Could not find any info on the seller. I had a hell of a time trying to get a refund back. So I was not impressed. Not sure whether I trust Temu any more.
Understandable. I've heard both good and bad, but I could only report on what I personally experienced 🤷♂️
I have to agree with everything you said, I live in U.K. and I got an introductory? Offer and of course had to spend over a certain amount, the wait was something like 14 days, but you know those faster rams and SSDs and whatever fancy name they put on it, really don’t save us anything at home, business, that’s different but the rest actually just makes us more impatient with everything, it’s an angles that’s been pushed since the sixties, and some work, like a faster wash load or better vacuuming, but really, like the washing powders etc, there made by two companies and where’s the new elements that make our clothes better? Anyway I can add to your experience and support on another level, I opened my Christmas Pressie!? The last minute one with everything thrown in, I looked at the stuff and it was ok, but your sort of pissed at the packaging, so I thought I’d contact them as two of the hats where awful on was supposed to be like a Panama, anyway I thought here we go it’s going to be like some other companies, waiting, we’ll call you back, we’re busy, etc etc, but no they asked me for my details, and after about ten mins, they said we will refund the whole order! The lady said it could take up to ten days, I was asking if I would receive a notification, and ping up it came before I could finish the q, then about three hours later, ping and it had been refunded. Credit where credits due, I’ve been arguing with Groupon over a Windows 10 licence I purchased back in April and after 7 days the company that accepted the issued licence wasn’t working, sent me a headed email to that effect and told me to ask for a refund off Groupon, 40 emails and about a week ago they admitted they had got it wrong and were issuing me with a voucher for the £12. I told them then that I would go out of my way to inform people of there terrible customer service and that there was no excuse absolutely atrocious! So yeah there is nothing like good customer service and don’t use Groupon, if it goes wrong, forget it!
Wow, two amazing stories with totally opposite results - pretty awesome when a company actually takes care of their customers! :)
@@AskYourComputerGuy And I used to be a customer service manager for a multinational, so customer service is high on my list but not if like Amazon, wha are an anomaly, there system overall is second to none, world wide and the speed, but it comes at a price,but then you have build in Prime and what postage costs, it’s a bit of horses for courses and like anything, even food shopping, you have to make a list, if it’s on your doorstep, great, if it’s being delivered get it right or go without, but the old adage of what your mum or sister or uncle perfect says is right, make a list for the job or for Christmas buy in advance and all the other tips and tricks, I just paid £27 for a microscope that Amazon didn’t do, I looked everywhere and it’s recommenced as one of the best for having in your back pack or for in the house or for kids, I mean a top professional guy, two days later I see it sent to my phone by Ali express £2:99 I bought four one for each grandchild and the whole lot cost me £16 ten days for delivery, then I get an option to have anything with free delivery so got a soldering kit for my grandson for Christmas instead of £10:99 5:99 free delivery 14 days, it’s ridiculous! Cheers have a happy life!
You have to ask yourself, how they are able to offer things so much cheaper. Someone somewhere has to pay for that, and they most likely aren't doing it willingly.
🤷♂️
@mr_obscure_universe 👍
No I have never heard of this store but then, I don't use apps from my phone to buy things. My phone is for phone calls only. Thanks for the info.
👍💪
Very helpful. No words. Confirmed even further when one of my family members ordered some (meaning a bundle of) items off TEMU. ALSO, Amazon may be the scam here after this video ;) ALSO, after you cancel your shopping, TEMU will offer you discounts on your carted items in the current shopping session so you are WELL MORE THAN TEMPTED to make the purchase! and ALSO, within 1 hour of the purchase of your items, you may be able to remove or add more items from your cart. Thanks for the video. Meme: Ebay left the chat Amazon left the chat Etsy left the chat
Agreed! :)
I'm just here for the comments 😂😂
Is the A9 camera REALLY 1080p? Is the USB3 strip REALLY USB3? Is the drone REALLY 4K? You could 3D print a 90 degree adapter for the face tracker. I am an AliExpress guy, but from what I can tell, AE lies 'less' than TEMU. I don't trust ANYTHING chinese. We ordered a couple bras for my skinny 90 year old mother in law from AE and even went one size over, and when they came in there was a full 2" to even the first clasp. We had a smaller young girl we know try them and even she could not get them on. Thanks, AE...for nothing.
Unfortunately, clothing is the one thing that is not an absolute with Temu
i love the under-counter auto-magic light-turner-onner !
Would definitely like to know if you think the drone was worth it. Thanks for your videos
You're welcome! Drones scare me a little...Will suck it up today and find out and get back to you 😂
Well... the drone definitely works. Wifey says I can't play with in the house, but it definitely works!
@@AskYourComputerGuy All the women that have ever been in my home were not allowed to issue orders. Those who insisted were placed on the other side of the front door. There are two people who can issue orders in my home...and I'm both of them! An Englishman's home is his castle. Castles are occupied by Kings, and all Queens are in subjection to the King. 👑 😁
Okey dokey 😂🤷♂️
Yeah, I am a Temu fan. I purchased quite a few things from them and compared the savings. Staggering!!! I am skecthy on purchasing any high end electronics, but "stuff" I am happy with the quality and delivery. They have not disappointment. My only gripe is the notifications from the app and I refuse to put my phone number for additional notifications. Other than that, I shop with satisfaction.
👍
When it comes to clothing, I have found it is always best to get a size or 2 bigger if you are buying from the Chinese. I say this because it still appears that whether you use metric or imperial the size I find is too small.
Agreed! My shirt was maybe one size too small, but for the most part, not unwearable 👍
hi CG, I want to ask you something 😁 you bought an adapter of a hdmi to a display port. is that of an usb-a port ??? so, is that adapter for a male hdmi cable on one end and the other is a usb-a or so ??? thank you for in advance.
As much as possible I try to avoid Chinese companies, though it is not possible to avoid them altogether. I was looking for bread pans made in America. It cost me $40 for two pans. When I got them I was impressed. Each pan weighed more than several of the Chinese pans. The construction was excellent and the coating tough and the do an excellent job. IT is about what you want and what you can afford. I have purchased from TEMU because they had what I needed at that time. There were no issues at all ordering from them. Like most companies once you order online from them you inbox starts to load with ads. Thanks for the video!
Sounds pretty good! Not available in the Philippines, unfortunately.
I'm sure that they'll find a way to ship there soon enough 😂
I never use an app if I can buy using a PC browser.
Works just fine both ways. Privacies is privacy
Nice video. How much was the massager?
$16.07 - sweet deal
Aww, schuks! I finally took the plunge earlier today, rather like you to check if it`s legit. Spent about £30 on gadgets for the grandkids. Wish I`d seen thiis first and used your sign-up deal. Never mind, if my experience mirrors yours I`ll still be happy. You`ve gotta laugh.😊
Hey my friend..all I care about is that you got value from the video and it gave you a tiny I bit of comfort in your decision :)
@@AskYourComputerGuy I`m fine with it, mate. I only spent what I was prepared to waste on my curiosity, and I am happy with what I`ve just seen. I always get value from your videos too my friend.👍
Thank you so much!!! Cheers! 🍺
TY. My family member has ordered off TEMU. Some of the items are cute. I haven't bought anything myself.
Only issue I've seen some far is some clothes my wife bought. Most fit perfectly, but one item (same size) was about 1-2 sizes too small. Makes no sense
Very interesting and every day topics with a down to earth and mature approach… greetings from Mexico
Thank you, sir! I appreciate the support 💪
The problem is usually how long the cheap products will last. on Amazon, some of those cheap Chinese product options are equally crap. I'd rather I shop those same stuff on Temu for less. I am trying to see if i can order something soon. thx
I am appreciate for your sacrifice. 🙏 Thanks
🍺
@@AskYourComputerGuy 🍻
Never heard of or about TEMU. Will defenitely check 'em out in the future. As opposed, you know, in the past (the sound in the background is a forehead slap). Cheerio amigo.
😂
I've only purchased a few items from Temu and, only a couple minor issues, 1 of which was MY fault for not paying attention. The bluetooth around the neck earbuds are great. They don't connect easily to my usb adapter for my pc (they eventually do) but, they connect immediately to my phone & I actually have to turn the volume down. They also have a great battery life
Nice :)
No man, check the sleeve to a traditional t-shirt. They are even cutting the sleeve short underneath on American shirts, as well. I got so ticked off, I really look at pictures now to see if it's full cut or short cut. And nice savings! I happened to make an order on Temu last week, and waiting for my stuff, hopefully next week. We'll see. Wish I had seen your video, I would have ordered one of those USB ports. That's the kind of surge protectors I use around the house.
Yeah the tee didn't fit like I prefer but everything else is working great still. I'm a bit surprised 💪
The customer service is hard to get to them for return items And the description of the item is very limited
I can't speak to the customer service as I haven't needed them, but I do agree on the product detail. Thx for sharing :)
what about the flash drive I heard from other bloggers to be aware ofthis cheap ones their problematic is it working properly ?
I probably would only trust recognized brands with important data. The cost savings is minimal for what you could lose.
Does anyone get the cables/adspters etc... for phone home devices. I got a C to mini S ISB adapter. Plugged in by itself it identifies as a device???
The only experience with any electronics I had was the 7-port usb dock, ejcoh worked perfectly. Aside from the cable being about a foot too short, no issues. Now I'm curious if the type-a to type-c adapters will work, based on what you said.
How informative. Thank you very much.
What about their return policy? I would consider that a major consideration. Seems like some people on here feel that TEMU it severely lacking in that area....
I've heard both good and bad on returns. Haven't needed to use that yet, but I will definitely post about it if/when :)
I just bought a vegetable chopper/slicer from Temu, the plastic casing cracked the first time I washed it, it's way too flimsy to be chopping vegetables one out of five stars. ⭐
Yeah ouch 🥲
Good reviews. Thanks.
Thank you. Hope you found value in it 🍺💪
How is their return policy? Is it as good and easy as Amazon?
Haven't had to return anything...yet. But I can safely assume that it's not as good as Amazon. Couple of clicks, no questions asked, get a QR code, head to one of dozens of stores and hand it off. Can't really beat that method ;)
My mom and grandma buy stuff from temu all the time but I never bought anything from it and heard it was a scam
Well hopefully my video showed you that it's not :)
How about the shipping, is it reasonable. Where is this company located. We really need to be purchasing things made in the USA!
Shipping was very reasonable. The parent company is out of China...BUT - the United States does hundreds of billions (with a B) of business with China. It's the world we live in. I swear I could make a TikTok vide and someone would start s**ting on "China" LOL 😂
From my own experience, shipping has been free for orders over $10.
Shipping was free to New Zealand! We get charged heaps normally.
@AO-oy4rf nice bonus!
Temu tried taking from both my accounts double charging me. Thank god no money was on 2nd card
I need a display port adapter to HDMI
DisplayPort To HDMI ...👉40% off discount+EXTRA 50% OFF❤️ 👉item link: temu.to/m/uwk1qho71ie
Temu does work, the packaging will be opened by customs and resealed. I do feel guilty my money is not getting this in USA but me and the wife have found out if something doesn't fit , They say keep it and they send a refund or the correct size. hard to argue with that ... Tks for sharing.
Of course 👍
Come back in another year. See if any of that stuff, especially the electronics are still working. The problem with TEMU, like Wish, is a lot of things have reported to not be working anymore, creating more e-waste and landfill filler. I am tempted in the Transformer knockoffs I have seen... but I can't get around the horrendous human rights violations they have been linked to. And I still also can't reconcile the amount waste that will be generated by increasingly cheaper products.
I plan on making a follow-up video just for that reason. Many of the items I bought back then I use every day and still work perfectly. We shall see!
I created several restores. How can I remove the one I do not need anymore to save space?
Go into system restore and you can manage/delete old restore points there
@@AskYourComputerGuy Thank you.
@shu-wenlu5581 my pleasure 👍
Your affiliate link not working! Says it's under construction!
Just checked it. Seems to be fixed now: temu.to/m/udwsb685lp5 Thanks :)
Nicely done video. I also appreciated the keep an open mind politically comment. I've been happy with my small number of TEMU purchases. Only issue was a pair of pants that were too small, they were cheap so off to the charity shop no worries. You'd think there would be an opportunity for someone to come up with a way of comparing clothes and the buyers body more accurately. Some sort of 3D scanning system?
I think the biggest issue is that American sizes and Asian sizes are quite different 🤷♂️
I'm Australian but the issue is the same. I have the same problem when trying clothes on in a shop, sizes are just an indication. Something would have to change before I'd consider buying clothes online again. Returning items is just too much of a hassle.
Aclarastes mis dudas. Gracias
De nada. me alegro de que hayas encontrado valor en el video, mi amigo
Fair and good review !!
Thank you 👍
How did the drone perform?
Don't know yet...drones scare me a little. I'll suck it up and find out today ;)
@@AskYourComputerGuy Lol right on brother cool. 👍🏻
LOL 💪
Well... the drone definitely works. Wifey says I can't play with in the house, but it definitely works!
All I have to say, is the steering wheel laptop holder is bad ass, at any price!
I don't know if they listened to your delivery criticism, but all my Temu orders arrive in 2-3 days ;-)
Nice!
Between them DJI drones and a good many alike, they tend to phone home to China but in particular the (CCP) ! the same goes for all these phone apps like Tic-Tok, Zoom, even some of these payment apps, Cams,; you fricken name it! So unless certain people like sending all their private data to China and even perhaps Russia... well you might find yourselves in a heap of big troubles! This also includes these activity trackers baby monitors and smart watches too! Our military has so much banned these Chinese contraband items from being allowed on military installations some time ago. There are phones that cannot be carried anywhere near secure posts even parts of the inside of the halls of Congress to include the Whitehouse.
There has actually been no evidence for that happening.
All the evidence that you need when registering your DJI Drone is whereby a direct link to a Chinese web server is one point of fact and 2.) You cannot operate your drone unless the registration has taken place. And 3.) Once you register the damned thing and operate it, data exchanges occur back and forth to China each and every time you go to use the damned thing!!! Data exchanges that include streaming video and audio to include conversations. If that isn't proof enough then you need to go seek a shrink there nurse!!! OBTW...The U.S. Military discovered all of this including watch activity tracking data devices that were being used while at their duty posts. Explain why to me that the Military to include Congress has put these types of devices under scrutiny with extreme prejudice!!! China will NOT cease to collect data, sensitive information and Nation's Secrets. The same goes with all other of our adversaries. If you can't accept the truth, or you can't handle the truth well, I have no more words for you. BTW, I'm ex-mil. Apparently you don't pass the test! Good bye nurse!!! @@abqmalenurse
I would like to see the evidence for these claims. Not saying it's not true...it likely is. But I'd still like to be sure.
May I say that you personally do your own due diligence and do the research yourself my friend and if you still can't find it, well then get back to me! These types threats were first discovered back around June of 2021 and yet some of these suspicions started perhaps as far back as 2018. Some of the information that I've been able to retrieve is provided by an ex-DOD Contractor of 30 years working for the the DOD, but hey, I guess that doesn't count either!! And now this same guy has been around working on special projects and spooky chit too.! But I guess that doesn't count either! I belong to a news group that's in the know often more times than the MSM News would even care to report on. This same ex-contractor has reported on these types of incidents PLUS I already knew about such threats beforehand, about 3 months prior. It is also most likely that he still does Consulting Work as well. Our news group consists of Retired Vets, Police, Fire, Medical, Legal and all types of professionals that are stretched out around the globe. We collect up useful, actionable Intel and try to go forward with it when ever possible and we try our very best to get it right and as very close to being 100 % correct all of the time. Good Luck!@@AskYourComputerGuy
👍
I am sure your wife appreciates your thoughtfulness regarding her neck. Nice to see people caring for each other.
She did. Thanks for noticing ❤️
Temu is something of a Aliexpress isn't it? Thanks for the video!!!
Similar, yes
I have been happy with most items. The only ones that didn't work were under 5 dollars and they refunded my money.
👍
In addition to the likelyhood that any related IP is stolen you still need to worry about quality. Also, with electronics, you have the added safety issues. I am not saying to avoid, just be careful. A lot probably does compare favorably to some of the cheap stuff on Amazon and eBay but then both of those sites aren't known for enforcing the laws and quality standards very well either. I did see an objective review of Temu electronics devices that actually tore the electronics down and some of it was not pretty and at least one item was a fire hazard. As I said - be careful!
For me, all those products would end up in the garbage, except maybe the sponges and the usb thingy.
I thought so, too...but 6 months later, everything still works. A bit surprised, NGL
Use caution with some very cheap OBD2 car code scanners. Some will fry your car's computer. Sorry for the late warning. It is probably OK, but some U-tube posters have had problems with them.
Good to know. Thankfully I didn't have any issues with the one I bought. Fingers crossed!
thanks again mate
Hope you found value in it!
I purchased things that were copyright infringements that I was upset, and I returned the items
I assume you mean trademark, not copyright. What specifically? I'm curious
Use your PC and you will be golden. Do not download the app. Also, never plug cheap testers into your cars OBD port, Never. It could fry you cars computer. There are plenty of shops that will run a test on your car.

Is this a Temu ad? Would you please explain how much are you getting paid for this video?
No. Not an ad at all. I am not being paid by Temu at all. This is a 100% objective review of the service
@@AskYourComputerGuy I would suggest that you clear that up in your video since you do mention that you are an,"affiliate". 💚
KZhead forces you to disclose if you are getting paid for a video. Affiliate links are not the same. If you made it that far and you want to support the creator, you can click on the link in the description 💪
@ml3141: Will you please explain how much you pay @AskYourComputerGuy for all the information he provides and the work he does do present it on this platform? Or is zero too much?
❤️
Ok I'm wondering if a M.2 SSD is actually worth buying!! That and an external drive to put it in! I have a 2TB one in my amazon cart that just went on sale for 40 dollars off but I have noticed Temu has them but a bit more expensive and no name brand stuff! I wanted a name band SSD! The same size! 1 of in my new gaming laptop and 1 for a backup drive!
One way to find out 🤷♂️
its to silent...make more Volume to the sound. thanks
Will work on the volume. Thanks for the tip
How much you pay TEMU for shipping?
Wasn't much, maybe $10 or so?
Good to know that it isn't all jut throw away stuff.
Agreed! As I said in the video, this stuff actually works. Best for smaller stuff that you use every day and aren't in a hurry to receive. I've heard customer service can be 50/50, but I think it's worth trying for yourself
What about the drone?
LOL wife says I can only play with it outside...and it's COLD out there! Almost severed my own head making the video - stay tuned for warmer weather and a 6 month follow up video 😂
The stuff is so full of banned chemicals, I would never touch it
👍
This is the first I've heard of it and I don't live under a rock. lmao
Fair enough LOL - I've been bombarded with sponsored ads on social media. I remember seeing a super bowl commercial but didn't think much else about it. Then clients started asking if it was safe and legit. I had to find out for them. Hence the video 👍
@@AskYourComputerGuy I see. thanks for letting me know. Cheers.
Cheers! 🍺
I watched the whole damn vid waiting on 100ft led info
Audio level = too LOW again
It did seem a little lower than normal. I had to be a little further from the microphone than normal to show the products. I'm sorry about that, will be aware of it going forward 💪
still not impressed. And still very skeptical and annoyed by temu. Its like you can dangle or booty clap anything cheap and ppl go crazy. My whole thing is where you ordering from. How hard is it to send stuff back it does break. Nobody's questioning the packages it comes in which reminds me of something from the dark web or something that might have anthrax or a worse drug in it. My lady received a few free electronics from them with out buying anything,an i told her to give it away. Bc nothing good is free an anything good is not cheap. And if it burns your home down you got nobody to call or blame but yourself. And we study funding everybody out side of the country and closing down everything including jobs inside this country. Id rather stick with a local Amazon or eBay with great customer service and delivery, than to trust a no name from overseas. Even if it dose cost a arm and a leg.
Yall can do what you want, its just an opinion and im allowed to have it.
👍
Agreed 100%
Using a Laptop in the car?? Your licence ought to be seized for creating danger on the road.
Maybe I should clarify...not while driving, but while on a break 😂
Did I hear you say you bought a solar powered flashlight? LoL
Yes...not sure why that's funny 🤷♂️
@@AskYourComputerGuy I' m funnin' you, man. Solar means charged by sun. If the sun's out you don't need a flashlight. I know it stores a charge. Sheesh. Whatever
Sorry. Been a longer week. Got married Saturday and spent all weekend moving. Guess I lose my sense of humor for a second...but if you saw some of the comments I get 😂😂😂
@@AskYourComputerGuy Congratulations! I wish you the best.
Might be cheap, but I don't trust it. Odd, this coming from someone who cautions us against other things.
Exactly why I made it. I didn't know if I could trust it, and so had clients ask about it. So I took one for the team to find out for sure either way 👍
Doesn't seem any different than Wish, it it?
Similar in many ways, yes
You have a affiliate link to Temu products, so this product review is kind of biased right? In the long term this will slowly kill AMAZON and the worst thing is Americans will soon loose their jobs if everyone starts buying from Temu.
Basically all the items I have ordered from Temu have been shipped from within the US. Meaning Temu has warehouses in the US and hence employs people here.
Fair question. Biased? Nah. I didn't sign up as an affiliate until all the products had been reviewed and I was actually pleasantly surprised. I would never promote a product I don't recommend just for money. My credibility matters more than that 💪
putting your local stores and local jobs out of business, so theres that.
One could say the same about Amazon, but we have all become addicted to the speed and efficiency, so there's that 🤷♂️
@@AskYourComputerGuy 99% of the stuff I want I never get around to buying, only to find out later I never needed it in the first place. One of the best things you can ever do when you impulsively decide you want (not need) an item is to give yourself a 7-day cooling off period. You'll be surprised at how quickly the desire to have that item dissipates. 🙂
@TheRealPureBlood that is true! Same reason I never go to the grocery on an empty stomach 😂
Temu's fun. For pocket change, I can buy "stuff" that's perfect for a conversation starter. The clothing is cheap but stylish. Look good for a couple bucks. Their guarantee is excellent. I bought a smart watch that "didn't work" (operator error as it were). Temu refunded my money w/o a return. I've ordered at least a dozen times from them for just "stuff". Very happy.
Awesome! 👍
Political schmitical… save me money and I’m good
Same!
