The sizes on Temu are the medium and small sizes on Amazon ... SO
TEMU small tree=$18.48
AMAZON small tree=$87.58
TEMU medium tree = $27.48
AMAZON medium tree= $112.66

@LizBeth91 : I am a reluctant online shopper - I like to see and inspect before buying. Online has become necessary and I appreciate the convenience but other factors come into play. My 12 y/o granddaughter doesn't understand. Lol

@Kittle : @LizBeth91 : Thanks for asking!
 
1) Obviously, you have your junk and you're not-junk. What I did was compare two exact things that are on both of the sites. So whether it is junk or not, it is the same. I actually saw these exact trees on a decorating video, and wondered where she got them and have looked for several months for them.
 
I think when you go to Walmart, you expect Walmart quality. When you go to Temu, you expect the cheap stuff to be cheap and the good stuff to be good.
 
2) Shipping costs? Shipping is free.
 
3) Returns? Returns are as easy if not easier than Amazon. What I mean by that is that usually, if I want credit for a product, I will get it refunded in a minute or two at the most. Of course, if you want just the refund, and do not plan future shopping, a return will take as long as it takes the bank to process it. I've never had to return anything I did not like. They just refunded it. But I haven't wanted to return much.
 
4) Security? Temu's security certification is on their site:

I personally don't use their app. I order online. I can't say anything about the app. But I will say that just about any site can be hacked into if someone wants to bad enough, but Temu appears to have taken every precaution to prevent that as much as any other legitimate site.
 
5) Delivery Time? They say 7-15 days. It's an average of 10, but many get it in less time. For the price difference, I can wait.
 
One of the most comprehensive and un-biased articles I have seen is this one by The Crazy Coupon Lady:

Now having said all of this, I am not saying any company is perfect. I could find fault I am sure, but I am trying to compare Apples to Apples, so if a person want Saks quality, I don't think they should check out Temu, but if they want Walmart, and maybe some above and some below that quality, and much of what you get on Amazon, then you're good.
 
I hope I answered all of your questions well enough! I guess if I had any complaint about Temu, I wish they would pack things a little better.

@BrendaT : Your right Brenda, it's the exact same items for way less on Temu. These are often individuals buying on Temu and posting on Amazon or eBay to make a profit. Temu is very easy to return products and customer service is awesome. I have bought lots of household items from temu from bathroom floor mats to fake Stanley cups (work great!) to clothes to organizing items. I tend to shop Amazon when I need something very fast or designer brand such as new balance etc. Temu (sometimes shein and wish) are amazing 🤩

@BrendaT : @HappyDay2016:
 
Thank you. There is nothing as good as experience and you both have good reviews. That's valuable. Temu is everywhere with everything so it seemed too good to be true. Apparently I need to check it out.
 
Thanks again.

@SummerSneeze :
Why? I have a card at my credit union and it doesn't have overdraft. I load it as needed, keeping what I need a month or so. I also do not allow any company to save my cc info. Not hard to punch in a few numbers.
Any company website can be hacked. The hospital system gets hacked all the time and now my friend is in phone call hell lol. She keeps answering.
As for swiping your card at a store, restaurant, etc. Many times a number is stolen that way. My kid saw a cashier snapping pics as people paid swiping their cards and spoke up to the store manager. At first she said no, and to calm my kid (44 years old) she asked to see the guys pictures. The kid opened his gallery and got fired for the boat load of cards.
I started using cash again at certain places.
Do you remember when everyone's cards were being taken at the gas station, kroger? I do.

@BrendaT :
I bought a bunch of baby doll sleep sets, a few shirts, shorts, and a few dresses and I love them.
I ordered some organizing items for my home and art studio and wound up loving them so ordered more.
I spend a couple hundred when I make my order without the app. Although I can get greater discounts, I don't bother with apps on my phone. I may load it on my tablet.
Btw, I felt the same way when A came onto the scene. Yet now, I've had A drop stuff within hours.
I have embraced online shopping.

@beadweaver : Most definitely! I do very little shopping and in their future will do even less during the Christmas holidays when shoppers are shoulder to shoulder in the stores. That's how I got Covid last year. Never again will I shop like that ... at least not intentionally.
