      I’ve tried Temu a few times. The quality is such garbage even calling it Chinese crap doesn’t do it justice. It’s basically from doorstep to landfill.

        Yeah I didn’t think Chinese knockoffs could get any worse.

        Many products on there basically copy photos of a product and replicate how it looks with the cheapest materials possible.

        I got a few good deals but understand it’s NOT going to be high quality tier stuff

        So I buy things I’m willing to just toss if it’s no good. I do a refund and they’ll tell me to keep it. Then it goes into the trash.

        It’s literally the same drop shipped stuff on temu. You can order from “local warehouses” and it’s literally the same products. Amazon USES drop shipping. They don’t own it.

      6 for 75ct. Eurocent, so in USD it’s a whopping 81ct. Tax inclusive. Available in both scratchy and gentle.

      If supermarkets get away with charging those kinds of prices there’s two things to do: a) Raid each and every HQ to see whether you can nail them for collusion, b) price controls.
