Temu has taken over the web within the matter of months and each influencer is talking about it. With prices so low cost now we have to wonder… what is the catch? Today we’ll speak about a few of the controversies surrounding Temu from security risk, impact on the environment, and the ethics of knock offs.

Why would you bu skincare from these places? My mom buys certain craft supplies sure but that’s to keep costs down on her own small business. It’s the only way she can keep going with inflation these days.

As a small creator I literally have been getting spammed by Temu, even after repeatedly declining. Literally had to block their emails. Knowing what you’re backing and doing research is so important cause your viewers trust you!

I tried to tell everybody I know that this shit was gonna be a problem, but nobody would listen!!!
Arkethia Terrell
my sister and I decided not to shop from TEMU all of what you're saying is what we were saying including who makes and ship these products, how safe are the product. I don't trust TEMU, nothing is that cheap. NOTHING.
Luna
That’s what I’m saying Temu is the next Shein and Wish.
eveliinako
It's so weird to me because this is the same shit that you could buy from eBay and Aliexpress in like 2010. Nothing new

Temu always gave me the ick. I’m glad I have never used it. Even if you don’t have the money, you shouldn’t give it to China

If you buy something like a 5 dollar shirt and you find out you dont like it then you can give it back within 14 days and get your money back.

Why are they so mad isnt this there job like stop complaining why do yall like to hate people like good things for cheap prices stop hating on temu.

if you are on a budget and cant afford thing sustainably made. THRIFT! THRIFT THRIFT THRIFT! I cant tell you the amount of great quality items I have found from clothes, to furniture, to decor, to kitchen items going to the thrift store or on thrift sites. stop wasting your money on Shein and TEMU. They are stealing your money!

The exact reason I don't buy temu
Sofia S
im confused about the essence mascara. in the uk i swear it's £2 so the temu one isn't worth it regardless. maybe it ships to countries that don't sell essence which i get but in countries that do there's like no difference in the price but there is in the quality

My thing is people don’t realize a lot of the cosmetics companies we shop from are manufactured by the same companies selling on temu. The reason why the essence mascara has a dupe for example is because their products are created in China as well. It’s highly likely that the same manufacturer that created their product owns the right to resell to different companies as well. Even though things like wet n wild for example is cheap they’re actually over pricing for the amount they get their products from manufacturers in China, Indonesia etc. most eyeshadow formulas are manufactured from overseas vendors both high end and low end. Yeah temu is part of the problem but so is virtually everything else the rabbit hole goes so deep! I feel like we need to be honest about the entire issue not just one part of it. At the end of the day your phone, your house, your food, your clothes, it all is coming from sl* labor at some point. H&M, Zara, even American Eagle, Yitty, Savage x Fenty is no better than Shein and Fashion Nova. Unless a product specifically says made in America it’s most likely that the proponents of the product come from overseas labor. What companies do is buy products for temu prices and hike the price up and claim it’s high end. So is the issue really buying from temu at the prices they are originally or buying from the companies that over price the same products? Unless you’re someone who builds your own house, sews your own clothes and raises your own food your entire life is made convenient by the effects of sl* labor at some point. And it’s horrible and it sucks but we have to look at the whole picture and acknowledge it. it’s a multifaceted and super nuanced issue.

i always had a bad feeling about temu, they seemed like the next shein. and i couldnt have been more right
SignedWithBlood
I have never bought anything from Wish, Aliexpress, Shein and I am not about to start with Temu.
livluvsmusic
i bought like 5 things off temu and two of them were not really high quality but the rest were okay
no
as soon as i saw a youtube promoting and knew it was shein 2.0
Mfff
Temu has been selling customer’s card information on the black market… no thanks I’m good…
Georgie🦋🌸
This app is always on my Facebook page… charging £1.84 for a pair of fake dr martens… nahh your all good thanks but no thanks
Artemis V
temu is another arm of the chinese government deploying hoards of cheap garbage on free shipments across the pacific to throw a wrench in the american engine lol. look at how much disruption it caused the postal service alone. its super obvious that temu and tiktok are being used to wreck america slowly lol
Tryxo So
I personally love Temu and the discounts

This is one of those things I’m always talking about society , if it’s not directly harming them it’s “ ok “ , these industries contribute to a lot of current problems in our world. And then you have the little sheep following these dumb celebrities and everything they do and say ..
Meggie Golden
I'll also say that I ordered a drone and the expandable water hose and I love them. It's just like Amazon nobody is going to have the same experience.
Busan26
wish –> Shien –> Temu same shit different name
Linda Linde
Thank God I still haven't seen one haul… After watching this video I will probably have it in my feed
Br!tt@ny
Temu is too much for post office but ordering Amazon daily is fine??

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! I feel some people dont understand this whole thing is literally like shein like omg shein and temu and literally the same thing the only reason they do these makeup dupes for more expensive brands like dior etc . Like u get what u pay for some of these usually these makeup influencers are only here to influence .
jelly the frog
you’re the first person i’ve heard say it’s okay to use these if you can’t afford anything else. tysm because my family can’t buy clothes from anywhere that isn’t shein or temu because we just can’t afford it
EMM a
Not just the makeup, lead and other toxic metals were found on items ranging from children's bibs to clothes and handbags in a piece done by CBC News Marketplace. Granted they tested items from Shein, Zaful, etc. and not Temu but as Temu is worse, I doubt people would want to buy from them lest they poison themselves for a shopping spree. It's not worth it even for the cheap prices.
Emmie babyy !
i love that you are calling out the misuse of this app by giant creators or people who can afford something better. i got this app hearing about it from my friend and i have been living paycheck to paycheck. i can’t afford to get myself extra things because it’s so expensive now that even getting me a new pair of shoes is a struggle. i use temu for belts and shoes and jewelry holders. and i have gotten lots of cool and actually good products for a price that is safe for me
LDNapier
I will never buy again. It’s hit or miss with them. I hate the idea of fast clothing or any other product that will just become trash within a week or month.
Johana Talbot
I know I might gat hate for this but as a teacher Temu has helped a lot. I usually have to buy my own supplies and it gets quite pricey. I have been lucky to find some good and cheap classroom products in there.
Gulagp
I would be a hypocrite to say I support banning temu but at the same time I’m here buying makeup, shoes and brands that do the same thing. And I hope people realize that too that it’s not only temu but it’s probably something they own that do similar things as well, they most likely don’t know. I’d say the only people who have a say on this are the people who use second hand clothing and objects.
Ann Hatfield
I have a teeny tiny channel, like slightly over 5K subscribers and even I get emails from Temu to work with them. That's a hard HOPE from me! It grosses me out to see all these people posting haul videos.
Teena Beana
Thrift shops sell everything to those on a majorly small budget.

Temu literally utilizes SLAVERY. They are based in Xinjiang, where slavery is legal..
Scouting Legion
So happy for my fyp cause I wouldn’t have known what temu was if I didn’t subscribe to teaspill
darling
These influencers are icky
Debora Mobers
The extreme low prices scare me, especially for makeup and skincare! I would never but that on shein or temu, just because I need safe skincare for my sensitive skin.
As for other things, I do shop on shein. When we moved across the world from EU to the USA to a COMPLETE different climate, we needed a lot of homegoods and clothing, cheap and fast. We just don’t have the money here in the USA anymore the way we had it in the EU… It really sucks because I miss shopping in store, being able to afford more expensive and durable clothing. It’s sad but in this economy in the USA, it is what it is 😢
Brandi M
The postal service tik toks feel fake.
JQPHG
Americans are so dumb…honestly! Y'all think you're saving money by buying things you don't need???? Go pay your debts or smth and stop f*****g up the world's economy! Stop this overconsumption. It is so wasteful! All of this will be dumped somewhere in Africa a few months later…wth is wrong with yall. Just stop smh

People didn’t learn from Wish

Typical rich people BS. Earning millions and buying top quality items for himself but promoting the cheapest of cheap sh*t for his fans.
