Temu

[Jazzy]

Temu (pronounced tee-moo), which is headquartered in Boston but owned by Chinese firm PDD Holdings, launched in the US in September. It's listed as the top free app in both the Google Play store and the Apple App Store, ahead of TikTok, Amazon, and Instagram.

Similar to Amazon, it sells a vast array of items – ranging from fast fashion and makeup to electronics, homeware, and even bongs on both its website and app. It operates exclusively as a marketplace where sellers – who are predominantly based in China – sell goods to customers in the US and Canada.

Have you or would you order items from Temu? (Why or Why Not)

I've never heard of it before. A lot of products on Amazon are made and sold by Chinese businesses.

I don't buy much from Amazon any more because so many of the brand names look like someone headbutted the keyboard and accepted the result as their name;

"We at DHUZZJKU take quality control serious. You won't regret buying from DHUZZJKU because we make good stuff. At DHUZZJKU we are committed to your happiness and if you have problem call at DHUZZJKU and we make right"

... and then a few months later the product links are the same, the reviews are still there, but it's a totally different product.
