A Chinese version of a lower cost Amazon. Similar to Ali Baba.

Despite bad example by Bilawal, I wouldn't bad mouth TEMU so much. It has its niche uses, for stuff you need.

The prices are unbeatable. Their logistics is unbeatable.

You order something (even worth $3) from China - and its in your door in the US in less than 4/5 days. FREE shipping and its trackable!

I have ordered tons of DIY power tools, carpentry tools and other crap, all turned out to be rather good. You all forget that stuff in Amazon is ALSO MADE IN CHINA. Except you are paying the middleman who plays in Amazon, and Amazon has its cut too.

And then - there are China and Japanese domestic market rare stuff you simply don't get in Amazon USA.

Amazon is playing defensive - they got beat by TEMU hands down. People are leaving Prime in droves, not worth it.

All this said, you have to know what you are buying and at what price on TEMU, don't order garbage knowing it's garbage. Returns are a pain and sometimes they just refund your money 75% or so, you get to keep the garbage or throw it in the trash.

Caveat emptor

I see some saddening comments in this thread, pointing to people's alternative lifestyles and descending to low points in calling people names, though maybe not personally.

People don't choose alternate lifestyles out of free will.

Here at PKdefense, and in your journeys to mental maturity - you will realize along the way, that going "no holds barred" in insulting people for the life-choices they have made, may be fun for the time being, but each time you do it, you "normalize" your being an animal, rather than being human. Each time this behavior robs you a little bit of your humanity, your insaniyat.

Interacting with other human beings, the best quality you can put forward and offer is human respect and human regard.

Not "Yeh kaala, woh gay. Yeh naatey, woh dalit."

Calling people names and making them feel small is our national pastime in South Asia. It is the lowest form of human behavior. It needs to change, and this generation is as good as any.

At times I have personally committed such inhumanity - I will admit.

But how will we (and myself) answer the question "Kab sudhrega tu"?

Tolerance is the key to being human and humane.

In Bengali we have a saying which roughly translates to - "Accha honese (Acchi jaban, acchi tariqa) paisa nahi laagta".

Ergo - let's think before we speak, let's not insult each other. We can discuss without insults. Knee-jerk reactions notwithstanding. It will change you for the better.

@RayKalm your comments please - if you have them.
