Thinking About Making Another Order...

....on Temu. I shared in the past that I ordered from there and got some good things. One item was not that great (a cone shaped ice scraper). Everything else I think is pretty good though. This time I have a steering wheel cover, diamond painting, personal blender, and a water bottle in my cart. The water bottles are the ones that have a time-line sort of thing on them (tells you when you should have drank so much water by). I don't know whether to get a smaller one to refill halfway through the day, or just get the 2 liter sized one. I am thinking to get the bigger one. Would you buy any of those things? If you were to buy something what would you get?

I never heard of Temu. I surely would not buy those bottles, I know when I drink enough.

@MommyOfEli2013 If you feel comfortable using the bottle use it.

Might not be available in your country. Jeeze, everybody hates the bottle idea. Boy do I feel like an idiot

I wouldn't get the water bottles. If you drink water every day, you know how much you're drinking. The only thing I would consider getting if I did that craft, was the diamond painting. You can get everything else rather inexpensively at regular businesses.

I am out of the habit of drinking water every day. So yeah, the water bottles would be helpful. At least the small one for sure. And no, the personal blender is $50 at the store, on the app it is $10. The steering wheel cover, I could get some at the store, but not this design. Diamond paintings I usually get on Aliexpress, but they can take a couple months to arrive, and not all have free shipping anymore.

@MommyOfEli2013 Then it's good to order since the price is much cheaper.

@just4him It's true that not everything there will be in good quality, or even be cheaper...but when it is cheaper there it is worth checking out

I just heard about Temu from your post. I don't think it is available in my country. If I have a good experience in an e commerce, I will be their loyal consumer

The water bottle could be very helpful.

Just torn between getting the big one, or refilling the smaller one.

I never heard of Temu. I only buy bottles that have no unsafe plastics and use them when doing outdoor sports.

It is a place, sort of like Wish and Aliexpress. However I think it ships from the U.S. because it comes a lot quicker. Well that is good if you only buy those, to each their own.

@DianneN No problem, although not sure it's that important.

My neighbor bought socks from there. When she washed them, they pretty much just shredded, so she's done with Temu. I have heard both good and bad about them, I am not in the market right now to buy anything much other than necessities, maybe I will try them at some point, just not yet.

I agree that not everything there is good quality, socks can be tricky. I follow someone who buys clothes there and loves them. I don't think I would buy clothes but maybe one day. And that is understandable. I feel bad for even mentioning ordering from there.

@MarieCoyle No it was because everyone was saying my ideas were bad. Well you weren't really, but quite a few were. And that's good if that is what you want to do...my brain don't work in that way.

@MommyOfEli2013 No need to feel badly about it on my account. We all buy different stuff and have different needs. In my non-existent spare time right now, I am trying to purge some items. I did this before but didn't get rid of enough things to suit me. I sort of have a rule for myself--if I buy something that isn't a household item or food, I need to get rid of something. You know, buy a shirt, put an old shirt or piece of clothing in the donation box. I have been gifted some things and I need to go through the rest of my clothes again and donate the ones that are too large. I need to do my shoes as well.

The water bottle sounds neat but I would personally get one that must shows the ounces so I know how much I drank. I drink two coffees that last me until at least noon so the water bottle wouldn’t be useful for me.

They are neat, for sure. These do have the ounces /and/or milliliters. Could use the smaller one for the 2nd half of the day? Lol! No worries

My mother just asked me Sunday if I have looked at Temu. I haven't ordered from there, but I did look at some diamond paintings.
• Rupert, Idaho
21 Feb 23
Oh really? Well I have noticed they mostly have smaller diamond paintings. I have ordered one from there so far. Haven't done it yet though
