I've ordered from them several times and have never had any problems with them.
They haven't taken that long for delivery and never question any returns and give you almost instant credit for future orders with no experation date on your credit.
They have been better than some other companies here in the US that I've ordered from.
You just have to read carefully what you order but bottom line, if not satisfied, get a full refund and buy something else.
Also, they have never even ask me to return the unwanted items.
Keep them or dispose of them however you want.

I don’t buy online but I have heard from others that the company is owned by the government of the People’s Republic of China and that the possibility exists that the company is being used to gather personal information about its customers which is why the prices are so cheap. This is only hearsay and conjecture but worthy of caution I think.

They r heavy advertisers on this site so our information has probably already been compromised.

I clicked ONCE to look into something that was advertised here on the Stage. They hound me now with ads and emails. Don't trust them myself.

I've found that to be true with most other companies also.
Once you get on their mailing list they inundate you with ads and offers.
One that especially comes to mind right off is Harbor Freight Tools. Ace Hardware is another one. Also back in the day, Gander Mountain was the same.
But I guess that is why we have a delete key on our computer.

I agree with you K. but wonder how just browsing for certain items, all of a sudden it is advertisement after advertisement about the item you were looking at????
There are tracking systems that identify you and then you start receiving those adds

I never open their advertisement, just send the message to the spam folder.

They track your online presence with cookies, there is not really a way to avoid that if you go online.

Exactly. ALL your info is already out there on the web.
If you pay any bills or purchase ANYTHING from anywhere online, you've already put your info on the web and anybody with ANYKIND of computer skills at all can find out all kinds of info out about you. That's just a fact.
You don't even have to purchase anything from THEM. They can see all the sites you frequent and what you're interested in.

Temu is partly owned by the Chinese government. Our government is investigating reports of malware being left on American computers, from Temu, that spreads throughout the internet. This malware can steel all the data on your computer, account numbers, passwords, etc. Personally, unless I hear that it's safe, I'm not taking any chances.
