Bought a few bits and bobs off the TEMU site.
Anybody else completely confused by the complexity of the silly deals and offers?

I’ve bought a few bits and bobs, most of which has been fine.
The email bombardment with “offers” is a pain!

Hello, I have also purchased off Temu, No problems buying and paying, 1 spinning rod was late so 50% off , Last order was a good fishing reel, Electric Razor blades, Line Winder and fishing line, Payed £19
Why do I see people posting they "Brought" stuff? Past tense of fetching something, It is Bought, to buy or purchase.
Just my gears grinding I guess.

Is this a euphemism for something I’d rather not imagine, given our ‘time of life’ Stu? I’m with you as to the first two. No need to answer about the third though, honestly

In all honesty I've had some amazing bits of AliExpress.
Had some very decent blades off there (sadly stopped selling to the UK now) and a very good bino harness. It was £60 and incredible quality (similar to FHF) - took a bit of a punt and glad I did.
Happy to share info if anyone's interested.
Also had a load of house hold bits, torches, power banks etc and not had any duds. Genuinely impressed.

I've bought loads of things from them, from Molle pouches, a rucksack, chamber flags, ammo boxes, bird feeders, etc, I ignore all the offer crap.

Agreed, I bought a air compressor for pcp rifle, all good so far, helluva good price & delivery faster than estimated.

They make a loss on a lot of the cheap items. But where they make their money is selling your data. Just be aware.

I have used both Temu and Aliexpress and to be honest their stuff is not bad - Temu’s “hardox” plates were and still are great - everything up to .308 without any problems - just be sure to check sizes before ordering, some items are for use in Lilliput!
On a slight tangent but still on cheap shopping - there is also Aldi…..

I've not used Temu but have bought (see, I got it correct) a few items from Aliexpress.
I purchased a Spuhr SP3002 copy for £46. The specs and tolerances matched an OE item - even the weight was within 1-2 grams.
I added an SP4002, £55 from the same company, to the next shopping list. Just as good.
I suspect I'll eventually drop on a pile of garbage but I'm not spending £00's or £000's so it's a gamble I'm prepared to take.
