Pro Tip: Check Temu

Yeah, that's still a hard no for me. First .... Quality matters, and just because something looks the same doesn't mean it is made the same. Second, anything directly out of China is suspect, and I'm not willingly opening up my phone/computer/etc. to Chinese servers or systems.

90% of what you get from Temu is gonna be crap that doesn't last, or doesn't work as well as the authentic product it was cloned from.

Kork, I mean its the SAME product. Not, it looks the same, its the same. Temu sells direct, Amazon uses distributors.

I bought an ebike on eBay for $589. On Temu it is $389. My jaw hit the floor. But cannot cry over spilt milk.

Guys,

Here is a pro tip:

If you are shopping on Amazon - first, find the item you want, then check Temu. The prices on Temu are often 1/10th of what you'll find on Amazon for the SAME item.
