Hi Ed, nice talk. yes I still listen to you :) I also read that sometimes Temu sends look alike products which are of poorer quality and sometimes does not ship products that are paid for and getting refunds are difficult. Have you heard this? And what about the talking about the expoited labour that is used to make the products that make them cheaper? And expanding our perspective, what about one of the major driving forces of global warming that is threatening all of us: consumerism? hope you two are well.
Hi Mark, everything fine here. Hope you are doing well too. Yes, there have been complaints about quality, IP and other issues. In my personal experience, though, I have always been promptly refunded after a complaint (within 24 hours), without the need to return the goods. Temu actually fines the manufacturers 5 times the price in case of quality complaints. They hope this will weed out the excesses. Regarding labour conditions, I don't think that Temu has changed this. These are the same factories that already made stuff for the domestic and global market. I do think that the way Temu pressures the factories, they will use lower grade raw materials or product related ways to lower the cost price. And I fully agree on consumption, which in my opinion is the real problem here. This is what I recently wrote about it, including a bit of good old George Carlin. www.linkedin.com/posts/edsander_more-than-a-year-after-i-started-warning-activity-7171078964365500416-olI0
