The European Union’s investigation into the Chinese online shopping platform Temu to ensure that Temu’s goods meet EU standards and do not harm consumers. The EU is concerned about counterfeit items, aggressive sales tactics, and the platform’s addictive design. Temu has rapidly expanded in Europe and is considering joining a European anti-counterfeit group.
Wait… people buy off temu?!
Unfortunately yes, I have a family member who buys from TEMU all of the time. All because of the “cheap deals” that TEMU offers all of the time.
I buy enamel pins and stickers. Shit is totally rip offs but they look good.
Just don’t put them in your mouth, because I’m sure they contain lead and/or cadmium.
It’s how billionaires shop! Didn’t you see the 35 ads during the super bowl? Any company spending that much money on advertising has to have a good product!
Temu is a handy way of getting cheap AliExpress tat with combined shipping. Otherwise you can end up with 10 tiny packages you have to go get from the post office spread across two weeks.
I agree with all the EU claims though, the site is designed to mislead and hook people who can’t filter out all the predatory tactics it utilizes. There are no “deals” or scarcity, nor really any quality control.
