TEMU (Ireland) bargains (NO CHAT)

A new site went live recently - its similar to all those Banggood, Aliexpress etc - except - and a big one - is they claim to deliver in about 10 days or less.

Free postage and all customs vat is sorted for us to ireland.

I ordered a few bits to see whats its like...

thought it might be fun to have a list of anything people consider bargains... And we can report on quality if/when we actually get them...

Silicon Soldering Mat for €4.48

Thanks, may be one to watch.

JoeCat · 27-06-2023 04:08PM

Thanks. Let us know if you receive the items and when.

JoeCat · 27-06-2023 04:09PM

I forgot to ask, can you pay with PayPal?

amber2 · 27-06-2023 05:11PM

Which description sounds best, chicken saddle for hens, adjustable poultry saver, feather protector or outdoor hen apron🤣. Just downloaded the app thanks op.

The option is there. I paid via Apple Pay on my purchase. Will report back when I get the items.

Fewer and fewer Asian online sellers offer free delivery to Ireland, so this is most welcome. Thanks for posting.

EDIT: That countdown in the top left corner, next to "Free Shipping on all orders" does not bode well though.

If you click on the countdown, you get :

Free standard shipping on all orders, until Jun 29 11:59:59 pm IST.

Get a €5 credit (standard shipping) for late delivery.

Its seems to be a rolling date so far... 🙄 hopefully they keep extending it

I used TEMU 2 weeks ago to order some summer shirts/shorts and some sunglasses. Got it delivered last Saturday so took 8 days in total from order to delivery. Quality of the clothes were really good too. Though not sure if I will be saying that after a few trips to the washing machine :) :)

Pistachio · 29-06-2023 05:38PM

Thanks @ozmo. Ordered a few things, we'll see how it goes 😁

JTMan · 29-06-2023 06:27PM

Temu is hugely popular in the US. Temu has soared in popularity over the last year.

(Interesting WSJ paywalled article about Temu here here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/american-bargain-hunters-flock-to-a-new-online-platform-forged-in-china-11671851837)

Mervyn Skidmore · 30-06-2023 06:27AM

Almost all of the things I've searched are more expensive than AliExpress.

Stuff arrived within 8 days - got quite a few items - most items very good.

Its good to have as an option- will keep them in mind if I need some parts from China again.

Rightplace2016 · 06-07-2023 08:49AM

Ordered and items came about week later.. cheap stuff but similar to what you get in dealz or one of 2 euro shops.. probably about half price of those shops.. already have second order in

kneemos · 06-07-2023 09:08AM

There's a few bits. A shower mat for 88 cents ain't bad.

There's a mention of Fastway and An Post as the courier. If it's Fastway there's no way I'd order anything.

cj maxx · 06-07-2023 09:26AM

Just orded things called sqishmallows for my daughter. Though ìm in the North so I'll see how it goes.

Is there any way to browse their site without logging in?

daheff · 06-07-2023 01:43PM

its a bizarre website. same products sold at different prices by different vendors.

a lot of it looks like cheap knock off rubbish that wont last a couple of uses.

The link at the top of the page.

zell12 · 06-07-2023 02:44PM

It says Free Shipping on ALL orders, but at checkout says minimum €10 spend.

'Orders with a total under €10 will not be shipped.' - Go figure

Also, are they are domiciled in Ireland ?

If you reside anywhere other than the US, CA, or the UK, these Terms are between you and Whaleco Technology Limited, an Ireland company. https://www.temu.com/ie/terms-of-use.html

Ye, ordered a few bits and bobs from them via Paypal (express Paypal checkout is handy), will update if and when I receive them.

Just be aware of possible spyware.

I just used the website, not the app. Anyway, minimum purchase was 20 EUR and it took me so long to find things for 20 EUR (in the end I purchased 25 uros, because you get 4 euros free). Curiously I paid using PayPal (otherwise I wouldn't use these type of websites), but it seems that they haven't charged me yet.

Anyway, I'll report back when I get the items.

ozmo · 07-07-2023 11:06AM

I was most happy with the following two items - both were 2 or 3 euros (hard to be exact with the discounts that applied)

https://www.temu.com/goods.html?&goods_id=601099514214816

and a dinky little usb port hub for my laptop that only has one usbport

https://www.temu.com/goods.html?goods_id=601099515246393

However a set of ceramic tweezers - for soldering - was my most expensive item at 7 euros I think - and it arrived with two screws missing - It kind of worked but

wasnt as it should be - so contacted support with photos and they refunded me immediately. Have to give credit when its due.

zell12 · 07-07-2023 11:50AM

Where did they ship from?
