    Regardless of what you think of TEMU, when they sell motorcycle parts for a fraction of the price, I have to test it out.

    Setting the politics aside, I was genuinely curious what would show up when I ordered these parts. I'm just here to make fun, interesting and hopefully entertaining videos. I totally understand if you don't want to shop there. But when a part should cost $500 and you can buy it for less than $100 someone had to test it out.

      I've never had issues with products from them. The trick is use a prepaid card for your orders and use an old phone without your personal information. Temu is really worth it. Products are better than wish and Amazon and in some cases better than harbor freight and Walmart. Obviously high end brands are still better than temu but also 10 times the price.

    As an insurance agent for an european company, i can only tell you to not buy from there. When you order e.g. and electronic device from Temu, you will be the so called "main importer" meaning that YOU are reliable for quality tests, warranty stuff and so on. Meaning, if your house burns down due to one faulty thing you bought there, we wont pay you anything since you imported that stuff and didnt do propper testing (like the "E Checkmark"). Thats at least here in europe.

      There is a a whole host of problems with government run enterprises. Every company in China has a “Commissar” basically a communist party official that tells the company what it can and can’t do or how it can spy for the government.
      Second China is treated by the world as a 3rd world country even though it is not because it has a large GDP, a space program, and the largest military in the world that is technologically advanced.
      The 3rd world status legally gives China Discounted and Subsidized Mail Cargo Rates through the International Postal Convention (I believe is a UN program) which the USA pays most of the money. They either pay nothing for actually receive money back on shipping through this program. This is how they can ship from China for so cheap, they are subsidized by this program and other and your items that should be $20 are now $3-$4 dollars.
      This hurts the economy of other countries and their workers and is one of the ways China cheats the world.

      I have to say I was surprised to see this channel promote Temu and my initial reaction was of great disappointment. I read plenty of comments against and a few for the sponsor, mainly centred around the channel making some money. I sat on it for 24 hours and educated myself on the issues with Temu. I find myself unable to agree with the decision to promote Temu. It is easy to justify sponsorship as making a bit of extra money but somewhere there is a line. In the video description, the blurb starts with "politics aside..." Fair enough. I can agree with that. Promoting a company that sells cheap and virtually disposable items....hmm...well, each to the own though I do in general try a buy stuff that will last. But what I can't agree with is promoting an App that has opaque data practices and data mining practices. This channel choose to associate themselves with these practices so I choose to unsubscribe and will no longer watch any if their content.
