I think for the neck fans it should've gone to Temu instead of being a tie due to the fact that the one you got from Temu actually matched the picture. The one from Wish didn't look like what you were shown on the site.
But it actually works, the one from Wish does the job, the Temu one might even last longer but it does blow air in your face, that's the point of that tool.
Both bad. Should last several hours
Temu steals personal
Info wish is just bad products
I've never uses wish, I have made a few Temu purchases after first hearing about it on this channel. I've had mixed results with Temu stuff. I refer to it as the online dollar store. I avoid the more expensive things and stick to the cheaper stuff.
Well stop. It's ccp owned!!!!
Don't do wish, not quality not good.😊
@@dpellek74pretty sure he doesn’t give 2 shits if it’s made with slave labor or not because i kind of don’t care
Aliexpress is top dawg
@@CybertroninfiniteOfficial I'm never ordering something from AliExpress again. One time I tried to order a screenprotector for my phone. It took them 2 months to finally deliver it to me.
When buying clothing from these sites, you have to make sure to check the sizing chart that's listed with each item. They are not consistent between each item and usually run small. I have had to go up 1 or 2 sizes to get the proper fit.
When buying clothing from these sites always remember to not buy anything from these sites.
Sizing on chinese sites is almost always in asian sizing, sometimes even more specifically chinese, which runs even smaller than the universal 'asia' size chart. And then on occasion you'll have the random US or UK size. Now factor in that some brands have out right unique sizing. So yes, absolutely always check the charts AND reviews.
Also pass along if the size says 4XL, odds are that is not 4XL that Americans are used to. The sizing in China and Japan are completely different from here. You need to find a size chart to make sure you know what you're really getting
Temu shirts don’t run small as often and the shoes often run big.
Temu is a US site though they do buy from china but I think they do US sizing
I love these videos where you compare products from two different sites/companies.
czcams.com/video/Fx_WZam-M9s/video.html
Temu Is Losing Millions of Dollars to Send You Cheap Socks. "The average amount that Temu loses on each order to the US is around $30."
The Chinese shopping app is topping app stores in the US. But it's burning money and squeezing its suppliers to a breaking point in a bid to take on Amazon.
Eight makeup brushes for less than a dollar, with free international shipping. is surely too good to be true. But in the lightning deals section of Temu, the prices are all unbelievable-50 hair bands for $1.17, 10 pairs of socks for $3.87, six lip balms for $0.97.
。
@@dongshengdi773 so they lose money with every sale but make it up by volume? It's going to be kind of hard for them to beat out Amazon.
@@rodgersandrodgers8191Amazon has dropped 2.2m users since temus launch and screen time on the app is just eight mins to temus 18 mins on average so you'd be surprised
@@dongshengdi773it hasn't lost anything idk where you get your figures from all myths
Love your reviews James. As for wish and temu, haven't used either and probably never will. Still very interesting! lol
Temu ABSOLUTELY has price increases for up-sizing!!! Maybe not on those specific shirts but almost everything I've ever bought from them there was an increase for larger sizes
The irony I had a temu ad during this video
Sponsored 😂 he doesn't do sponsorship reviews. Like the mpartial.
Same! 😂
Same here
That's coincidental, not irony.
I got a Shein add 😂
You did a great job reviewing them objectively.
I've purchased from Wish and Temu multiple times, and I have been more satisfied overall with Temu. I've heard bad things about it, but my experience is that Temu is more consistent in delivery time and delivering what was ordered...keeping in mind with either that it's probably not going to be high end for such low prices lol.
I've never ordered something from Temu only from wish. 3 times they send me the wrong size shoes which I of course had to return back, but the shoes that were the right size were actually really good, I even still have them.
I'm now actually considering ordering from Temu.
I’ve bought from both, but not from Wish in a long time. I totally forgot about the price lure on Wish, that alone would make me never want to shop there again. Temu is absolutely hit or miss. I do love the free shipping and return policy. I try not to purchase there often because I just don’t like buying this type of quality, but when I need it, Temu is a go to for me.
I agree. If your looking for cheap kitchen gadgets, or something like that, Temu is pretty good.
@@Gundumb_guyI've actually ordered a few times on wish. Multiple time they gave me the wrong size of shoes, 3 times actually. They even send me a email wondering why I've been returning their products so much.
I'm actually considering buying from Temu to see how they do it.
Wish is much better now
I'm still on the fence about ordering temu. Amazon does that same price change on size and colors. It's frustrating! Great video!
I've ordered a ton of stuff from Temu. I stick to things that I don't have high expectations from and have been mostly surprised by the quality. I did order one hard plastic thing that was broken when it arrived, but I don't worry about returns when the price is that low.
Most items I buy are garden or camping related. I've been impressed enough to reorder several of the items.
The only thing that bothers me about Temu is the continuous notifications and different free offers that are designed to get you to speak your contact list all the time. And I've never won anything either.
Still, cheap with free delivery for orders over 10 bucks. Hard to beat if your expectations aren't through the roof.
Same I buy garden ornaments because I don’t want to spend lots of money on something that will probably only get pinched
If you try to return anything they tell you to keep it and refund the money, so it's worth sending them a message.
I took a chance on Temu a few weeks ago. They just arrived, and I was pleasantly surprised. Not high-end stuff, but not total crap either. 7/10 will buy from again.
I love and respect what you report to customers it helps people to see companies for what they really are
Thanks James, you being unbiased and not accepting sponsors is what makes you above the others! 🎉❤
He actually has been sponsored before
I've never ordered anything from either of these companies.
Ive noticed temu has started doing the bait and switch on products way more often. You do a search by price it will show an item but once you click on it they will have some random cheap thing but the item you wanted was way higher.
I noticed several pictures on sink faucet sprayers. I bought 3 of them and despite the pics, none of them sprayed. They were aerators. Dont believe the pictures! .
This is one of the only downfalls. But wish does the same so it’s a draw:):
Ebay also allows this.
Friendly note: For those not used to ordering clothes from these sites, pay careful attention to the sizing for that individual item. Sizes vary dramatically between products, and you need to check actual garment size dimensions (inches/cm) and check reviews to see if they run big or small. Typically, have to order larger than normally, as the sizes are for Asians (who are generally smaller than Westerners).
Pro tip go thrifting instead
I do this I look at photos and reviews
This is why when I buy clothing from they, I never throw away the package until I know for certain that the size of it is good for me
This is such a cool podcast ! I've been wondering about Temu ! Thanks for making this !
All clothing on Temu or Wish is a polyester. The thickness varies. I've found a lot of nice things for around the house on Temu just be aware that none of it is cotton (even if it says so). Lol And if you're going to get any of the shoes measure the bottom of your foot in inches and use the chart given in the ad. Almost all of them use PU Leather.
Seems a great place for cheap gym/running clothes as polyester is the general choice for most of them.
Thank you for all your reviews. Always watching and never skipping. What camera you use in the latest videos??
I really appreciate your work you put into this. As someone that's never used either im consider temu now for future purchases for my twitch stream
Temu ftw.
Shipping speed was the deal breaker.
Wish, i had to wait atleast 1 month or more to get my items. As for Temu, less then 2 weeks, sometimes in a week even. Very impressive.
Wish is 8 days now from China to NY
Just FYI, fan only works if the ambient temperature is lower than your body temperature. If it's higher, then you're better off without the fan as it will just air fry you with the higher temperature ambient air. The heat transfer is going into you instead of out. For higher temperature ambient air, you had to go with air conditioner.
Yeah well good luck finding an air conditioner that you can carry around your neck. 😝
Sorry didn't mean to not like your comment but all you need to do is Google temu. You will probably get an article how they are allgoodsfrom China and they spy on you.
So I am not allowed to go on there anymore
I bought what I thought were nightshirts for sleep. I actually went down a size and it was a bit large. I expected them to be cotton. Nope. Polyester. Melting hot to wear. Same with some of the summer dresses. You have to watch materials and sizes very carefully. Read everything! Picked up what I thought was an adult apron. It fit a doll. Lol! Got some cabinets that didn’t have directions but it was pretty self explanatory. I’ve ordered dog toys and they were super durable. And much cheaper than even the farm stores.
After seeing your review, I’m going to try using Temu. I bought the shirts you did. Thanks for the enjoyable and informative videos!
I recently ordered 2 neck fans from Temu, the one I ordered and got were both just under 5 bucks and look just like the one you got from wish. Sometimes you have to look for different versions on Temu. I like it, it isn't portable AC but it takes the edge off when I walk down to the store and back.
I’m having fun with Temu right now, they make the whole process streamline, the reviews seem real, and they allow flat rate shipping and incentivize it for you, also they don’t hide the shipping rates like Wish does. I just would like Temu to allow you to save items in a wish list set up like Wish and Amazon have, I wouldn’t have to put them in my shopping cart and deselect them when ordering on a budget lol.
I've learned there's nothing on either of these sites I would ever buy
Yay, another episode. Love your reviews!
Didn’t know I needed this video!!! Awesome video! I’m now switching over to Temu hahaha
I've ordered from both. I prefer Temu. I've found the clothes like shirts are a good fit for price. I love the costume jewelry. Electronic or shelf are definitely iffy
Ive been using temu for about a month now and they definitely are guilty of drawing you in with a low priced item knowing full well that youll want the bigger one thats almost always more expensive.
Wish charges more for larger size. Temu doesn’t
@@BerkKayhan That's what I said.
@@BerkKayhanthey’re saying temu does it too. did you read the comment?
You make a lot of good points about Temu. That said, I've had more consistency with the actual products from Wish. I feel that a lot of the Temu stuff I've received is really junky and low quality, often broken. They send you junk then you have to refund it ... I'd rather just get something good the first time. On the other hands I have music stuff and other things from Wish Ive used for like 10 years lol I've been on wish for a long time. I've found wish to be an excellent value over time. Temu I've spent a lot on but don't seem to have a lot I use.
Yah a longer video! Glad you made it back from Huntington Beach in one piece with your skin still intact and not extra crispy! Great video as always James 👍
Grabbed a watch from Temu with the $15 off for new user. Usually $46, and so far it looks pretty good.
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Keep it up 👍
THIS WAS A GOOD VID.IM GLAD YOU DID THIS VID COMPARING THE BOTH OF THESE SITES.BROKE THEM DOWN&SHOWED IT.
Temu does list the fiber content of the clothes, it's just hard to find. Very little cotton, almost all polyester
I like that you compare them
I don't know where I'd be without my Supr cool! portable air donditioner.
Wish always made me nervous the shipping when it would finally arrive (usually after I had given up waiting) was sketchy and overall just didn't like the vibe. Products (wallet, pants, etc) were about what I expected. Temu I have fun 'click shopping' (note you can only have 500 items before they tell you to clean it out LOL). Quality is what I expect if not higher and they are good about refunds, they kept me up to date when my package would arrive and gave me a credit when one was late, my only thing is that not all stores sell the same item quality (?) I ordered two strainers about a month apart (I forgot I had the first one and it was less than a dollar lightening sale) One is great the other bends but looking back at my orders same picks just different vendors. So, moral read those reviews (I leave a picture and my honest opinion for nearly every item I receive) :)
From a E-Commerce standpoint TEMU has some very nice features, although I hate the big red rectangle to avoid empty spaces, and the speedy deals to create a sense of urgency as a whole.
I love Temu! I have won some items for free, even higher priced items like a hot pot griddle. I have purchased swimwear, kitchen gear, kids clothes, etc. items are hit and miss for quality but they beat out Amazon on pricing and return policy. It’s a generous 90 day policy and I have returned items with success. Sometimes they will just credit back without needing to send the item back. Also, they grant very easy price adjustments in the app with just a click.
Thanks for another great video!What I find “interesting” is how many of the wearables on these sites say FASHION, BEST or BETTER FASHION… like the sample pcs I have seen before production for a brand. I wouldn’t buy any shoe for support or quality. What I also have noticed is that they will show the shoe on a model and their version at that great price has glaring differences to show it for the dupe it is. That’s ok if you go into the purchase realizing this. That being said, it does not apply to every shoe shown, just beware.
Also a not to the return experience I had with temu was fantastic. I received an item that when opened was not what was pictured. I went on, stated my dismay and was credited the $9.80 and they give you options and accepting “store credit” will of course always be the faster route. The whole experience took about 10 min. from start to finish. I find their website easy to navigate over other sites as well. Have fun, use your common sense when picking your items out.
The other thing I have fun doing is comparing the cost and quality of same and or similar items, some of which I have already, between temu and Amazon prices.
None of the above, probably all made in horrific sweat shops 🤮
tbf even Amazon has different prices for different sizes/colors, though usually Amazon will give you a range.
thanks great review. For price comparison, Temu don't charge for shipping, Wish on the other hand charge shipping, making them much more expensive?
Your videos are asmr to me! Love to watch! 😊
Enjoying this because I've never actually went to either of their sites. Very informative
Man I love your videos! Thank you!!!
I’ve done Temu and Shein hauls but never Wish. Some of the kitchen stuff I use all the time and I had bought it thinking it would essentially be disposable. I laugh when I see the same stuff for way more expensive on Amazon or Etsy. Dig hard enough with weird search terms and it will be on Temu! I also love when I see this dramatic CZcams ad for a navy secret to shredded abs and it’s the same adhesive stimulator thing sold on Temu
The sane thing on Amazon isn't meant to break or get thrown away like wish or temu
@@zacknelson8918 Or it is bought in bulk from the same supplier and re-sold. A LOT of items just have different branding.
Thank you. ! I enjoyed your video very informative
I ordered a shirt from Temu with the map on it. I love it and receive a lot of compliments on it. I’ve also ordered stainless steel coffee mugs. I love them. They keep coffee hot for hours
I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon, and a lot of cheaper stuff on Temu. Totally positive experience on Temu over six or so haul-size orders, including a requested return (a colorful shirt I found just too colorful) that was settled immediately with a credit and “keep the item". Can't beat that!
Who’s going to get that contraption out just to crack an egg?
Maybe disabled people
The return policy is ridiculously fantastic. I've made a few returns and from start to finish Temu might be have one of the best policies around. 2 different purchases had to get returned. The most recent was 2 weeks ago. I purchased those skull slides/house shoes for my son and they were too large (despite verifying the size @ purchase). Immediately upon me clicking the return option I not only had the money in my Temu credit balance, we got to keep the slides. (Some companies still expect the shoes returned so this really surprised me.]🎉
I might've missed it, but have you reviewed stuff from shein?
Been tempted to try temu but am not sure if I should. Thanks for the video x
Main thing to know is everything is delivery in a plastic branded bag, so your items will mainly be protected by there own packaging.
im loving the temu vs wish battles!
waiting on my first purchases from Temu, sometime this week (july 19-24th) , just ordered bunch of random hats, backpack, necklaces, Funko pop keychain(knockoff unknown), bunny hug(sweater), etc.
Note* Wish is still in debt from their startup costs and have not turned a profit and are unlikely to now while Temu has cleared their startup costs and even a 14mil half time super bowl ad. As a Designer/Programmer I've watched Wish's website lose features over time and suspect some Design vendors may have not been paid so I doubt anyone can/will fix website design issues and Functions....
Should do a video comparing amazon basics products to name brand products. If you haven’t already.
That egg cracker. Just another thing for the junk drawer thst will never be used. In my kitchen anyway. Besides it's much more fun cracking an egg on the edge of something. 😅
I have been using Temu for about 4 weeks now and the stuff I have brought has been very good. I got some trainers which were very comfortable and a great little toolkit also the disposable razors are good for the price.
What are trainers?
@@enmunatesneakers
@@enmunatebasically the british way of saying sneakers
Damn. My wife and I both live in Las Vegas and she is a big wish and temu user. I on the other hand have got a bad Amazon habit. And I would not touch either of wish or Temo because I thought they were scams. It looks like I have to reevaluate at least whether they're scams or not and consider purchasing from them. Thank you very much for this review. It was really a big help. And yes these fans for the neck are probably not going to do you any good in Las Vegas. We need a whole air conditioner unit to carry around on our neck. Lol
Lol, same here in Sacramento! 🔥 🥵
They're not scams, they usually deliver something, at least. But I'm also a fan of Amazon. 😊
They are both horrible Chinese sites
It really is going to depend on what types of things you are ordering. I have ordered 4 or 5 kitchen gadgets from Temu that were considerably less expensive than they were on Amazon. (They are exactly the same.) I don't think I would be ordering electronics from Temu and clothes are hit or miss, but there are a lot of good deals if you are ready to hunt for them.
They're not "scams," but they are very unethical. If you're comfortable turning a blind eye to slavery, have fun.
Where wish is cheaper, how much did shipping add?
Would the shoes be worth it if you also bought new insoles for them that had padding?
I used to order from Wish a lot a few years on. It was mostly just small trinkets and "knick-knacks", but sometimes the electronic product like Bluetooth earbuds. Then I just stopped. No particular reason, I just stopped. I find myself searching for and ordering things from Temu more often. Honestly, I think it may be the quicker delivery times.
15:50 it’s funny that you set the camera up to be seen in the window reflection lol
For "no frill" products I'm happy to go for any from Temu. However, when it comes to shoes, I can't go back from Merrell. Solid build construction and most importantly great grip even on wet surfaces.
I always see gadgets that have no real purpose other than taking up cupboard space. The neck cooling ring, not really effective in high humidity climates. The egg crackers, I have one, I call it my counter-top and fingers. Tee-shirts always/always have to be 100% cotton. Never wear a T-shirt that has synthetic fibers as they will chafe, create high heat and stick to you like glue. Wear one in high heat climate and you'll rip it off in a second, no matter what crap the makers of these shirts say. Oh, before I go...love your videos, thanks for sharing. 😀
About 6 months ago I bought temu shoes for about $3…. They are still in perfect shape .. they slide on no problem … wear socks … they will stop them from rubbing on the back…
I wish that guy came with that t shirt ! @ 14:06 The neck area looks air brushed though. Or maybe I’m crazy. The clothing always looks amazing on the person in the ad, but it never makes me look like good. Lol
I’m glad to see this review even before I listen to the whole thing I did have to say that my first impression was wish was that they sent out prom dresses that were nothing like the photos and people were waiting for Halloween costumes that took over 30 days so I decided to never buy from wish. Maybe they’ve improved but seems like the items are really cheap and crappy and what I’ve heard from Halloween crafters and people that like Halloween vintage Temu products are better and they’re much more similar to the photos.
I ordered one of those neck fans from Temu. I got the same one from Temu that you got from Wish.
US lawmakers are warning that products sold on the Chinese online shopping site Temu have been made with forced labor.
What's new? So many companies use forced labour
Yep. I wish people would stop advertising that terrible site.
Agreed. There’s no other explanation for how cheap items are. No other way to explain the prices !!!
Everything is forced labor these days. China has been doing it for years though. From kids to seniors. Its near impossible to not use anything made in China.
Temu is a US site though
Ordered from Temu used a credit card.Got a notice that unauthorizeded purcheses were put on my card right after I bought off of Temu.I deleated the app not buying from them ever.Never had a problem with wish ever! I bought a lot from them
Can you test The Babish "clef" knife? I picked it up for 20 bucks, and it works like a charm, but I feel like it's hiding something.
Great video do more of these
A head shaver comparison would be great.
Personally I thought both sucked but thats my opinion and I got trash from them. Temu even gave me $100 worth of credit as an influencer and all the stuff was such crap I never even finished doing anything for them. Maybe some items might be ok but everything offered to me sucked and everything my ex also ordered was cheap and trash.
I've been shopping from temu and I've yet to be let down . I haven't had to return any item I have purchased . I have given reviews on clothes to buying kitchen gadgets. Everything works great and I'm very happy with my purchases . Wish not so much . I will stick with temu . Happy shopping 🛍
The price changing thing happens on temu too. I've used temu a handful of times and I've seen it do that.
I normally wear a 2XL t-shirt. I bought 4 shirts from Wish years back, going up to 7XL, and even that one was STILL too small. Seems like maybe they've come around to fixing it. Although after I returned everything, and got "credit" refunds, they locked me out of my account and took my money. I just don't see how it's at all worth the risks.
How are both of your things coming so fast? Are you California?
I’m glad you pointed out that this wasn’t sponsored… but for the whole video I thought it was. I’ve seen a lot of Sponsored Temu content recently, and from creators I really respect. It’s a shame that I’ve seen nothing to convince me that Temu is anything other than a scam site, though. Too many red flags, stay away.
As for the whole concept of both Wish and Temu, they’re like some dystopian example of the Boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness. It’s predatory, and even worse, people convince themselves that they got a good deal.
I dislike both sites because most of the stuff sold is garbage and doomed for a landfill. I'm not saying I'm the most environmentally conscious person, but I do care enough to spend a few extra dollars to get something that has a better chance of lasting me awhile. Also, yes to the sad state of respected CZcamsrs being sponsored by Temu now.
The Wish shirt is probably more global medium rather than US medium. US medium is more like large in other countries. :)
I would never buy shoes online and only in store where I can try them out. The only exception would be if I buy an exactly same pair that I already have.
Wish took a long time to receive. I might give Temu a try! Thanks!
You must test the cooling belt Sparkle Tornado. Semes awesome.
I would never use either of those sites.
I don’t know why price goes up between s- l or s - xl. Maybe for xxl or more (needing more material for sewing?). I prefer a brick and mortar store because description of product is not that great. However, regarding size and material, I have seen barely any material used for bikini swim suits but they were still priced higher than the swimsuits that had more material used. Guess it was more fashionable.
They are known for bait and switch with pricing. It's illegal in the US, but in China, a regular practise.
For everybody that uses Temu make sure you go into your orders on the things that were delivered and hit price adjustment. You can get money back as a credit on your account most of the time.
With TEMU if something is out of stock you click the notify me button on the product and it will email you when its back in stock. Idk if Wish dies this ( I have never shopped on WISH b4)
I wondered about these two the other day, thanks for being the guinea pig so we don't have to 👍
Temu absolutely does the bait and switch pricing
Like you pick a shirt and the pink one is 4.99 but if switch it to a different color, say you want black or blue it will be 7.99
Or I've seen electronic items with different prices depending on if you want white or black
At least with Temu it’s free shipping. Living in Alaska that is so rare so it’s very appreciated
I bought some shoes off temu. While I love the style they were to small and I also bought an 11. They are more like a 9 1/2 . Couldn't ware them so have no idea if they were comfortable.
Where did you get those awesome sunglasses
Having bought from Wish for some time, Ive found they run smaller as its an asian country. Chosing the next size up has always worked for me.
