Meanwhile, many claimed to swear by Temu for its cheap house purchases, like Sue. A fourth said: “I love Temu, never had any problems. Great quality for the price. The problem is it’s addictive.”
Why is Temu so cheap?
TEMU came onto the scene in late 2022 and people on social media were raving about the low prices.
The company is a Chinese-owned digital marketplace. It is essentially an online shopping app where people interact directly with the retailer, while the app handles the shipping.
The craze surrounding the app is not entirely unfounded either, as it offers a wide range of products, including fashion, make-up, electronics and furniture.
According to a report of the U.S. House Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Temu is exploiting a loophole in the law that allows the company to ship duty-free goods directly to the U.S.
This loophole is called the de minimis exception and means that goods worth up to $800 (£643) can be shipped to the US without being inspected or taxed by US customs.
Temu connects customers directly with manufacturers and only manages how the items are shipped to customers.
This means that Chinese suppliers can sell and ship their products directly to customers, without having to set up a global network of warehouses.
This allows them to save enormously on costs and ensures that the product itself is not reduced in price any further.
While many of the products you see on the Temu app come from brands with extensive, original collections, there are also many more counterfeit products from designer brands.
“I love Temu, I use it all the timeclaimed a fifth.
