So I saw an ad for this cool looking led strip thing you can put in your car and then it has lots of settings.
Clicked the link and it took me to Temu, figure sure I’ll give it a go and download the app.
OMFG what the heck is this gamified shopping?
When it loaded I swear to Odin it went like a casino and said you can get the item you clicked on for free and you can choose another 5 items.
So I’m browsing through all this crap I don’t really want and adding things to move on. After selecting all free items it then said you win again or something and gave me more things to pick.
Then at the end it’s like right spend $35 to get all the other stuff for free, but said the original thing I clicked to get was not available. It’s like a bait and switch and I’m thinking I don’t any of this really I just wanted the cool led strip thing and to be left alone.
Honestly I really can’t believe people would use this place at all.
I tried Temu and Wish around the same time and had mostly the same experience:
Tons of misrepresented garbage, often with varying prices for the same, exact product, that you may or may not even receive after several months.
I’ve imported things from other countries before, even China, using other services such as eBay and never had it take the better half of a year to receive anything, and I almost always got what I expected. These sites suck even for trying to get cheap crap.
