Temu

[Sir Tigger KC]

Anyone tried it out? 

Any good? 

[ronnyd]

Daughter and granddaughter both use it. No problems so far.

Another company trying to screw the world over. Ask yourself this... if the initial offers are to be believed, and allowing for the global advertising costs, they can't possibly break even, so how is their business model viable, sustainable or ethical? And what are they actually up to?

At some point, the Piper always gets paid.

I had a look a couple of months ago and ordered four watches for £15 (money I was willing to lose) just to see what happened. The watches arrived about ten days later and, although they worked ok, they looked and felt like something out of a lucky bag 
The leather straps were cheap plastic, the side buttons were just for show (the stop watch dials, etc, were just painted on to the watch face) and they weighed about nothing.
They're in a drawer somewhere.

Get yourself a fake Rolex Steve, I bought one in New York in 1999 & it's still going strong cost me 30 dollars.

[Mr Skrunts]

Need to read the info carefully,but generally well decribed, some instructions added on the advert.

Multibuy  often more exspensive than single items.

Delivery times stated and if late they automatically give a £5 refund

Found a a link on the site that if the price has dropped in a certain time period they do refund the difference.


All packing is sent in plastic packing bags, and often combine 2 or parts of 2 orders in a shared delivery which gets confusing with order/delivery combinations

Very fast responce with problems.  Had 2 missing items, was refunded in seconds, had 2 late deliveries and had 2 x £5 payments and didnt even know.

I have bought various items and found some very cheap (100 wood screws for £0.29) just an example.  Long range LED recharable torch, Xost £3.09, later reduced to £2.46 refund was instant.  Since seen them at £1.81 so bought more - ideal as stocking fillers. 

Some items look cheap but then found cheaper on Ebay/Amazon

Overall, You will find a bargain, and possibly buy loads you dont need, other items available you didnt even know existed

My garden has benefitted from some solor flood lights 120 LED arround £7/10 each on UK sites,  10 for £24 from Temu

100ft expandable hose pipes as low as £1.81 day after maybe £9.28 but if bought at the higher price and you become a aware of the price drop you get the difference refunded (or just click and price check the whole order within a week for all refunds)

Web site is quick and informative, relativly new company and all deliveries are free (my have all come via Evri - and no complaints with them either)

Thumbs up fom Mr Skrunts

I have a nice watch collection but not added a Rolex to it 

[Mr Skrunts]

Just to add, loads of trim removel tools and fitting clips at silly money,    not sure if any of the clips are the same as used on Omega but lots of options

[Mr Skrunts]

The torch I mentioned was £3.09 the n down to £1.81.  Todays price £1.28/30.

Spend a a tenner to get free delivery.

Havent heard of it, but it sounds like yet another means for the Chinese to sell poor quality tat to bargain hungry westerners, who dont realise they are giving them the money to take over the world.

I got a couple of Maurice Lacroix watches from price drop tv a bout ten years ago, Mick. Got them dirt cheap and had a jewellers check they were genuine. But I just don't wear a dress watch any more. I wear my Apple Watch which nags me to move all the time and I can read texts/answer calls on it.

They can come for me if they want. I couldnt give a toss tbh. 
I do worry about the world my children will be living in, in 20 - 30 years time though.
Hopefully I wont have Grandchildren, because that would be yet another thing to worrry about.

Trouble with that outlook, Albs, is that Chinese women...,oops....people, will keep on having babies and they'll take over the world anyway

He isn't wrong though.

And to Skruntie... no wonder you keep having computer issues and spam attacks if you sign up to such companies. They obviously make zero money from the tat they peddle.
