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 bought one thing on Temu. Once.
My mom was recovering from back surgery and needed a bed that could lift up and lower down. Those beds are expensive as fuck, and her insurance wasn’t covering them. I tried to rent, but I was in a funky area where none of the rental companies covered my area.
Anyway, up pops an add on Temu. So off I go. Find one for like $250. Read reviews, and they’re English reviews and have legit pictures. So, terrified and desperate, I bought a whole-ass bed off Temu.
Came two weeks later. Put it together. It worked. She still uses it. It’s been almost a year now. Those two weeks of wondering if I just threw away $250 were wild though, lol.
