I had it,deleted it because they contacted me more than a clingy girlfriend
Amen to that me too 😂😂
Have you met Sur La Table and Eddie Bauer?
Definitely. Constantly sending messages about the next great deal. Gets really annoying.
Same xD
Also the products i got were awful even for the price
They contacted me wanting help with promotion and since I haven't had a chance to look into them too much yet myself, this videos helps a lot. Thank you!
There's a channel "The China Show" which are 2 guys that used to live in China and do motorcycle vlogging but now in the US (chased out of China for their criticism). Anyway, they went in depth a few times on Temu and how it's just an exploit of the US postal system where their rates are near free for them due to China being considered an "undeveloped" country. It won't last long (hopefully) but it's a complete exploit to our system
Winston and Cmilk had to flee China when the government cracked down on foreign residents and business owners. The government, and by extension the people, there have become very xenophobic.

Always enjoy your insight & knowledge that you give us all 🇺🇸🤓👍
I have order twice from this company and both times got all of my items and usually it takes about 10 to 14 days to get it. Now I will say they lack in the shipping department as everything is shipped in a bag, but so far I for one am happy with what I received. 90% of my items were woodworking tools which I have used and am happy with. If a us company like woodpecker was to make their tools affordable them maybe some of us like myself wouldn’t have to seek other means. Now I will say I always do research prior to buying from TEMU on the item I want to see if it’s descents or not. Like you always say research is the key. Thanks
This video answered the BIG question on who is TEMU - THANK YOU.
i have purchased many items from temu. the fact is the products are not the highest quality, but the prices are so low that it doesn't matter. you can replace them and still be way lower than buying high quality. they are similar to HF in that respect. most of the items i have ordered were satisfactory.
When you buy high-quality items...you don't have to keep buying again, and again to replace. Cheap is no deal! Just clever marketing.
FYI deleting the app doesn't delete your data. If you go to the account settings you can delete your Temu account. You can also turn off all of the annoying notifications and a few of the spammy features.
Yes finally! I have been waiting for you to address these guys! This should be good!
Sad to see so many in the comments singing their praises. Wonder if real or manufacturered comments.
@@scri33le i dont think im ready to pull the trigger... yet. I was that way about amazon too when they were just selling books an cds. Now thousands of dollars later i cant stop shopping with them lol.
@@KLartrandMAmazon never had slave labor claims on its products. They might make some cheaper versions of stuff but no outright copies of other people's stuff.
Temu will drive out competition with these cheap prices then corner the market after everyone else is bankrupt. Kinda easy for a company owned by the government, ya know?
Unfortunately, because of international postal agreements, Chinese (and other foreign companies) can produce and ship a product to you for less than a US company can just ship a product. We are taking our tax dollars and subsidizing the theft of intellectual property us US citizens and companies.
My wife asked me about Temu a while back and if it was ok. I told her I wouldn't put it on my phone. She was telling me this weekend of horror stories she's read of people supposedly having information taken from their phone after installing Temu. If it seems too good to ve true, it probably is.
I agree. I would rather spend an extra dollar and not give my info to the Chinese.
It is by design. The "U.S." companies you think you are protecting took their products over there to be manufactured, starting in the 80's. They did it to exploit the Chinese people for cheap labor at the expense of jobs here. Now the Chinese are making the products they took over there, now they have an issue. They took the same tax dollars you are talking about to move over there in the first place.
I would never install this app on my phone, this company seems ultra shady.
Tell her next time to read the agreements before she agree👍🏿
Yup, they get "developing nation status" but have nuclear weapons and a space program. Explain that to me.
I have made several orders and their delivery is consistently on time. The ratcheting wrenches not the worse by any means, couldn't pass them up because of price. I have spent several hundred dollars on the site and for the most satisfied. The tapestry has a proven record of being diluted meaning not as crisp as pictured. The last one I got will be the last one I order. Some the reading glasses are really good. The printed T shirts are okay for the money. Long story short about 7 out of 10 from me. They bag everything together and ship it so packages inside bag are crushed and sometimes damaged . You get what you pay for. Never had missing items either.
Thanks for the info, confirmed my suspicions
My own experience with TEMU wasn't great. Ordered a few tools to see what they might be like. After weeks, the package tracker showed that my package had hung around some West coast post office for a week and we were well beyond the latest promised delivery date. I contacted TEMU and they offered a full refund, which I accepted. That was a 2-day transaction. My package from TEMU arrived the following day. All I can say about the quality of the tools is that they were toys. And that's the real problem I have with TEMU. You really have no idea of the quality you'll get from any given product. The listings don't give you enough to figure it out. I replaced the TEMU toys with better tools from Amazon and a few used ones from eBay, and I'm happier for it.
You should have a good discernment by now on what no name Chinese products are decent and what to avoid
The Den of Tools... It's funny that you do this video.. I just got an email from TEMU today wanting me to be an affiliate/influencer and I was trying to figure out what or who the heck they are. Thanks for sharing it Jeff.
A friend of mine showed me yesterday a four wheel level guage magnetic that he bought from them and it seemed solid. I looked on the site and see a 680 pcs car push pin retainer set for $15. lol
I placed an order for woodworking items a few weeks ago. I only ordered items that looked solid and well made. T-square, rulers, corner clamps, miter bars, extruded aluminum rails, t-tracks, stop blocks, etc.. Everything I got was exactly what was pictured and was pretty good quality but I have seen a lot of videos about people getting the wrong products. It showed up in about 4-5 days with their "express" shipping.
How ironic. As soon as this video ended youtube plays a TEMU ad.😅
It was the first ad before the video even started for me.
That's funny I had an ad for them on your video.
Everyone wonders why more and more American manufacturing leaves for foreign factories while placing orders with Temu.
Lol
But I’m sure 80 percent of everything you buy is not made in the USA. There is not much anyone can do when so many things have no USA option. And truthfully I don’t blame some of these companies for moving manufacturing outside of USA. Today is the wrong time to make anything in the USA. Wages are out of control and until these companies snap back there employees and get wages under control it’s only hurting the USA. Sure we can make airplanes but try making anything that cost 30 dollars or even 125 dollars in the USA and you will find out very fast that your going to need a good bankruptcy lawyer
Wages aren't out of control. They're borderline criminally depressed. Unnecessary and corrupt regulation, corrupt corporate management, and absolutely insane executive compensation are what's driven manufacturing offshore, while decimating USA middle and working class. Mandate for all companies selling products in the USA that no executive, officer or board member can make more than 10x their lowest paid workers wage and make stock buybacks illegal or at least very limited and watch USA industry and prosperity blossom.
@survivalSC Yes, a lot of products made In China are made In strict quality control factories by legitimate companies, but the Items on Temu are
made in the old school crap China bootleg factories with probably child labor to boot. Enjoy your cheap junk.
U might wanna ask ur government and billionaires why American companies went over seas lol. China just figured out they can cut out the middleman and sell directly now
I have bought, including C hat. Had some issues with a few products and was refunded promptly with no returns asked for.
You can order on their website instead of the app.
oh man stretching outside of your norm, i like it
My wife and I buy from vemu every week and has never had an issue.
I ordered things from temu never had any problems and as far as someone watching it's to say who is not watching
If you’re skeptical, get a reloadable branded gift card (visa, master, etc…) and load it with just enough to make the purchase.
I've ordered tools half a dozen times over the last year or so. Cheap (both inexpensive, and cheaply made) but they do qualify, in my experience, as "good enough". I've not been disappointed in anything I've gotten from them yet.
ive had three order already, id buy from them before they go out of business
chinese products bought by americans then sold to americans
but package notifications are so slow
Kim Komodo a computer radio talk show host said they look at your contact info on your phone etc. After that I deleted the app, never bought from them. If ever will buy from them it will be on their website with a prepaid car.
I have gotten several orders for tools from Temu.
While not the highest quality, they were ok.
Tried them once. Had problem with their delivery carrier. Lazer Ship. The items ended up getting sent back to shipper.
Still working on either getting the items or money back after 2 weeks now.
Lazer ship has the worst delivery drivers we've ever seen, not a single one of them seem to care 'how' a package arrives, in my region (MD)
they're the only guys we've seen throwing packages onto my front yard, from the sidewalk, anyways... everyone else brings it to the porch at least lol
@@austinh1028 Im down here in Miami. I’m not sure who is worse. Them or FedEx. I’ve had problems with FedEx in several states.
@hankhill4431 never heard of them either until Temu order.
I have placed 4 or 5 orders with TEMU. Everything came within a week. NO SECONDS. I bought 5 router bits for less than I could buy 1 from Lowe's. Even with my employee discount. Actually, I bought the 5 router bits for LESS than I could buy 1 from Amazon. First rate quality. Their packaging does leave a lot to be desired. Everything comes in a plastic bag.
I have ordered from them some stuff is the exact product you get from Amazon and way cheaper price. Some stuff it junk but have to be aware.
That AG stuff looks like Soylent Green
I forgot the name of the "brick" web site to get deals at lowes, walmart, Etc. Can you please remind me of what it is? Thanks Bear.
BTW Jeff congrats on being a source in the Wall Street Journal on the Craftsman tool article
Jeff?! NOT RED?! MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE!
Thanks I have been really curious about this. If I try it definitely going to use a prepaid debit card
Nah ur good I always my regular debit card. They aren't going to steal ur bank Info bud.
you should look into moringa. powerful plant.
Imba Ryobi junkie so tools I dont buy on Temu however everything in my tool cases like tape nails screws door bumpers locks putty sealers adhesives wall hangings. The best thing they have is cell phonr chargers cords that glow in the dark. under $3 thinking about selling them because everyone that sees mine wants it 😂
I may try ordering using a prepaid cc.
Why a prepaid card yall make me lol
I like their “fuel filters”. Lol
they make your "car' nice and quite?
Congrats on choking that shit down without visibly retching.
If you are careful, Temu is a GREAT source.
I can see the highway but or annoy 20 minutes stop and go. If u can pull into Teton village parking I can meet u there but this morning it was closed. It’s the left before the light at construction
We've never had any trouble with TEMU, yes the products are cheap in price & often quality, but my wife has been happy with all of her orders; mostly dog cloths and kitchen gadgets. They do refund immediately for any damaged/broken products which is nice. We don't like buying Chinese products however, 95% of everything sold in the USA is made in China, you just can't get away from it!
order some Temu tools Bear! would love to see you review them. Also want to spend your $ not mine.
Got a temu ad on this video. Amazing
i love Temu i got a bunch of stuff from them but dont expext top end quality
I got some really nice pliers from them & some other tools. The only thing can say is check the size of the things you order from them if it doesn't give the size it will probably be really small.
Temu is legit. I’ve gotten some surprisingly decent quality items from them. Borescopes, step drill bits, tile contour measurement tools, game boy NES emulators, lasers, knife sharpener, fishing magnet, engine starter….legit!
Temu "had failed “to maintain even the facade of a meaningful compliance program” for its supply chains and was likely shipping products made with forced labor into the United States on a “regular basis.”"
Enjoy you cheap-for-a-reason shit.
Would be curious if that square is actually square not terrible if it is
It’s funny everyone is saying buying from a China company is hurting USA jobs lol. At this point 80 percent or more of everything most people buy it’s all made in China or another country. And the way this economy is going we need more cheap Chinese items with the way wages are just going up and it’s squeezing USA companies to push everything to another country. This won’t change until unemployment goes up to 4-5 percent then the companies will be able to take control and break these wage problems. And then maybe the Fed will be able to lower interest rates. Until wages go down we won’t get cheaper interest rates.
and people don't want to except that we don't have the population anymore to do those jobs anymore for every 5 baby boomers who have left the workforce there is only one person to replace them I am not saying my figures are accurate but I bet I am not far off
I order from remu all the time. Out of a few dozen item one or two were not great.
Funny that a temu ad plays before this video😂
do you recommed the stock?
Please do a deep dive on szco supplies. I can't find anything on the company.
I wouldn’t buy from them since I see reviews saying the wrong items are sent and credit card charges they did not approve.
Test one of those hand held welding gun things lol
$5 is a great deal for a Carhartt hat until you're wearing it and the visor falls off.
Doesn't matter if their stuff is bad, good, or great, if it's made in China, it's a no go for me.
Every one needs to realize everything comes from China. Even the stuff made here comes from global materials. Guess what that means..
😂 u think u don't buy from china because you see made in US 😂
I ordered a square and another measuring device for my woodshop. App. 1/3 the price of amazon. Good quality on these 2 items. Don't order from them if you're in a hurry though. They're not going to be my "GO-TO" but I wanted to try them.
Never found anything to buy on wish or vevor. Going to pass on this one too.
I didn't support much like Wish or other. I'm a hobby woodworker so of course I tried to find some deals on woodworking tools. Lots of cheap router bits/table inserts and weird things like various knock off squares. I did get an apron for about $17 that is pretty nice especially for the price. That being said I deleted the app not long after and still get texts from them DAILY.
@hankhill4431 I just noticed that yesterday and did. Thanks though!
Anyone else got a temu ad before this video
I see a LOT of ads, which makes me VERY cautious...
I have ordered men's belts, corner protection & other miscell, items I was not disappointed by quality Rock bottom prices for sure. Postal time was about 9 days. I will order from them in the future. Legit transaction & company. No complaints.
10:50 That appears to be an accupressure device, most likely used to relieve headaches.
Yelp. Had a teacher in middle school many a moon ago tell me about squeezing that area can help to relieve headaches. Doesn’t always completely relieve the headaxhe, but at least helps reduce the intensity almost always.
get it for the wife.
Your sponsor wrote your ad script, no?
No. I don’t do scripts, ever
I love this site, I've ordered things for at least 6 months. No problems with 99 percent of the items. Free delivery, if it's late, they will give A $5 REfund promptly!
I should probably remove the app. From my phone & go directly to the web-site.
Better yet....stop shopping😅
Good report. It's interesting that all those things you said can be said about Apple. If you track down who owns apple you will get an address in Ireland. If you go to that address you will be standing on the side of the road looking at rolling moors. When you go to the county register to se who owns that parcel of land it will be a conglomerate based in the Cayman Islands. So is apple an American company? Nope. Do they pay taxes in America? Very little.
I don't I don't know UA-camrs that take sponsorship and stuff... You know if you're UA-camr wants to give real evaluations on products that they received then that's great but I don't know the sponsorship and stuff yeah that's often that very believable in my book .. too many people promote something they have no idea what they're doing ..
Have we seen the last of the bear? Is he hibernating, or did he not make it through hunting season? I hope we don't see a bear rug hanging on your wall sometime soon.
i think he said its gone because of software issues.
I've ordered a few times, and have always been happy. Mid-quality items at really good prices.
the prices listed are for FIRST TIME BUYERS!!
A 3:00 ad? Wow, most are about a minute
Fermented powdered grass clipping water hahaha
I was skeptical about ordering from this company at first too cause I thought it was gonna be another Wish! 😬🤦♂️ But!! I've now spent probably close to $400 on there and can honestly say 98% of the items I received were exactly the same as advertised! And the other 2% that wasn't what I expected, I was able to return with no issues! Heck the one item I received for free, returned it, and then they credited my debit card for the price that item was selling for. Anyway, sorry for the rant y'all.. But, I just wanna say that if you do order from them, just remember at the end of the day don't expect to receive gold when your paying coal prices.... 🤷♂️🤣
Be careful Jeff, don't inhale!!!😂😂😂😂
They actually use Moa Ware
I've ordered several times from TEMU and so far (knock on wood) everything has arrived and has been as described....top notch quality? Meh, but for small obscure items for cheap? Yep works for me.
Review that "1 pc. Portable Electric Chainsaw C..." at 12:26 for $3.38 🤔
SHEIN started as a clothing site. I've used TEMU mainly for household products. Clothing must be ordered 2 or 3 sizes larger.
Must be same people that make work shirts for Cintas. All their shirts are for people that have shoulders no more than 2 inches above their hip bones
@vicktorpatriot1430 Asian sizing is small and that's what they use since most comes from China.
I dont like the wheel spins in the app. i find that they just want you to impulse buy.
I ordered some collectible figures from them. The tossed them in a bag, no packing. They arrived totally crushed. Not remotely collectible or displayable.
Never again.
temu appears shady, persistent and aggressive like other questionable organisations.
i remember their early youtube ads with the broken english, which later got dubbed over with more fluent a.i. voices. that’s just plain weird.
"this fast comer, cause they are coming on hard"
I've bought a few items from them. My daughter calls them the Wayfair or IKEA of online shopping. Definitely not high quality but seem to be usable items.
I was surprised with their shipping speeds and the quality has been good so far.
There are a lot of Shein try-on hauls on youtube. Really difficult to watch 🤭🤭 The National Intelligence Law of the PRC 2017 states: "everyone is responsible for state security". If the Ministry of State Security asks (demands) a company to provide information, it must comply, it has no choice. Good luck if you use Temu.
Please don't give them any credibility. Buy local. For a person to ship a purchase back to China will cost more then the product. Buy Local.
I have coffee in my cup holder.
too much risk of involuntary labor involved with them so i'm not planning on buying through them
need more made in USA options.
I’ve bought some measuring tools that are solid built, the same tools on Amazon and Banggood, temu is cheaper. Shipping fairly quick. I was just looking at there version (China) building block model sets and reviews are great
Shipping fast considering where it's coming from. I've gotten lots of small crap for the kids. I got myself a brass turtle. Add stuff to your cart and you'll eventually get a discount.
Temu is good to use, just don't let it use you.
I've ordered from temu 4 or 5 times. Small bundle items around $50 each time. Never had any issues getting everything I ordered and hadn't been Damaged as of yet. Still not good as I prefer American products, but some stuff they sell isn't anything you can find American made.
Same here.
Maybe do a meat grinder or CHAMBER VACUUM SEALER
Hey ..... Where's The Bear ???
Do a RELIGIOUS 18-6 fast. Only water and black coffee in the 18-hour portion. Don't overeat in the 6-hour portion.....you'll drop the pounds.
I dropped 35 pounds in twelve weeks with no change in diet.
I bought a few small things from them. So far no biggie. I was interested in the gun welder thing just for kicks to see if it would work
Forced labor/ slave wages.. let your conscience be your guide. Great prices though
