Are you team Temu, Ebay or Amazon?

[marylander1940]

I'm slowly moving from Ebay to Temu... I agree 90% of the stuff is crap but some of the deals are unbeatable! A local escort just bought the $600 Titanic Lego from Temu for $123!

Say what you will about Amazon but no one has made the point of purchase easier than them. Ask me how I know lol.

18% cash back on Temu using rakuten (formerly Ebates).

How's this for customer service... had 3 things to return to temu.  went to the site & typed in a request for a call from customer service.  Seven minutes later all 3 items were credited back & I was asked (we're sorry but) is it okay if we only give you the credit and you don't have to return the items?

I had the same exact experience. I returned a Titanic lego and had to ship it. I also wanted to return a tank top and a couple of other minor things, they gave me back the money and told me to toss those items or give them to charity, no need to return them at all. 

An 83 year old man who wears tank tops and can walk 15 blocks to a store (and presumably back)...  I'm impressed & jealous.

It was a gift for a much younger guy, I do go to the gym often!

I walk more than that! 15 blocks to the Lidl each way, I also go the museums at the Mall walking.

A Lidl just opened 15 blocks from me the other day.  Maybe I'll drive there one day.

I bought a  Laser Disk of  a film about Brooklyn starring  Scott Baio.

On one screen shot  Mr. Baio is layimg in bd on his stomach. We get to see a long frame of his bare Ass

 

That's probably what killed Laser Discs

I haven't watched SNL for years.  Nice to see that they are still putting out funny stuff. This is so spot-on.

Out of the three you mentioned I use Amazon 99% of the time, ebay 1%, and I have never even heard of temu.

[+ PhileasFogg]

According to trustpilot, temu is a love/hate relationship with 39% of users rating it “5” and 41% rating it “1” and very little in between.   I also suspect that bots might be used for the positive reviews to average out the bad ones’ impact   Who knows.

i don’t even point my browser to it because I don’t want its cookies on my device.   I’ve never had a single problem with Amazon and probably spend at least 2-3k/mo there.  
 

Temu is rated "Average" with 2.8 / 5 on Trustpilot

Amazon, if only because the UK government is calling for a review of Temu's practices

As far as Temu fails to go, this one is by far the most puzzling. 

For father Frankie, he thought he was venturing into the wide world of shapes with his two-year-old daughter. 

The wood-based toy he bought for her is a staple to every child’s toy box.  

“Interesting phrases”

However, when the father sat down with his toddler to lift the puzzle pieces what he found underneath left him speechless.  

“I was helping our daughter put it together the other day! We just laughed super hard,” he told Kidspot. 

In a now-viral TikTok, he showed just what he was confronted with, simply captioning the post “Not today, Satan.”  

As he lifted each shape mysterious words – totally unrelated to the shape – were revealed.  

“Well my wife was the one who ordered it and unboxed it and neither of us realized the umm… “interesting phrases” until I was helping our daughter put it together the other day,” he said. 

Under the blue trapeze, the word ‘teapezoid.’ 

So close, yet so far! 

Perhaps we’ll have better luck with the heart? 

Upon removing it, Frankie found the word ‘heart-shapen.’

It appears they just gave up by the time they printed the star shape with the word ‘pentagram’ hidden behind the piece.  

“I gave this video a ‘heart shapen'” 

For his daughter, it doesn’t make very much of a difference at this stage, so the parents intend to continue using the toy regardless of the hilarious misprint. 

“She hasn’t learned to read yet, so we’ll just always verbally say the right shape as we play,” he explained. 

The comment section of the video has now gained over 900,000 views from people who couldn’t get enough of it. 

“I gave this video a ‘heart shapen,’” one commenter joked. 

“This would become my most treasured possession, I fear,” another said. 

A third wrote, “Finally, a puzzle that matches my eighth-grade geometry test answers.” 

While Frankie likely won’t be rushing to purchase more toys from Temu, he can’t say the same for the rest of the household. 

“You never know with my wife! She loves a bargain!” he said.

I haven't purchased anything online since September of last year. I don't know which team I belong now.

I primarily use Amazon, occasionally shop on eBay, and have never used Temu.
