Temu contacted me offering to pay me to promote their gardening products. I said no, for a wide range of reasons. But I was curious to find out, is Temu legit? Or is Temu a scam?
The Temu gardening products all seemed too cheap so I decided to try them out for you and find out what the quality is really like, without any obligation to give them a good review..
Watch for my honest review of Temu products – as I find out for sure if Temu is legit.

I'm NEVER going there…but thanks for your honesty
That was really interesting, thanks for your honest review and online security tips. I think a lot of people will find this helpful 💚
I don't think you understand how TEMU works. It's just like Amazon. Businesses sell on TEMU. TEMU aggregates small businesses from China and they sell through TEMU.
Well said, love your reasoning.
Oh I found your video interesting . TEMU is owned by PDD Holdings, and has its headquarters in Ireland and Massachusetts.
It originated in Shanghai.
I shop online with them and it is like anyone of the majors in that there is an element of hit and miss with it , depending on what it is being bought BUT you can usually work that out as to what to steer clear from after some time of staying at something.
Like Shein, or Wish or Etsy or any of the others , one can work out what the go is .
And their advertising and gain a sense of : yes that item will be good or no, I can tell that is no good .
And it's not a scam .
I understand alot of people are guarded and cynical about online shopping due to their fears about identity theft , but I don't take that on especially when their own community residents and family members are usually the ones dabbling in that very same identity theft by complaining about their narcissism and what they have done to them of late .
You know ?
TEMU also have some great customer service policies in place whereby if your purchase doesn't arrive by the date specified, they give you a $5 refund applied automatically OFF your next purchase . Anything broken they refund in full .
And its product range is just incredible .
They are brand new items , for a realistic price and great to your door delivery service which is great for people who are unable to get to the shops for whatever reason.
People with limited mobility and without licences .
People with social anxieties , and transport blocks , its right to the door delivery service is a great thing.
I like their homewares and they are really nice to me. Really good to me , as a known customer they have good loyalty rewards .
But they are definitely not a scam .
And better than dealing with SOME of the sales teams in stores where you walk in, and it feels like total arrogance , ignorance and the staff are running a matchmaking service.
All of that behaviour, is more of a scam , than Temu.
It does employ other people outside of China too for all the people wary of China .
Target and Kmart and Woolworths and Coles have always sold China products and have been doing so for decades , in Australia.
It really isn't that much of an alarmist thing .
Provided our country maintains control of our primary production areas , of which I know a bit about as my own parents were dairy farmers of their 200 acre property for nearly thirty years , provided we maintain control over our food supply, we can always 🤔🤔 run the world basically.
😁😘😔
All that horrible plastic packaging – yuck 🤮 And travel miles 😢
Hey, Influencer…teach your little boy to treat women with respect because he has invaded your space and without correction will grow up to think that's how men treat women. And before you all at me…she could have at any time stopped the camera and corrected his behaviour or had him leave the room.
I’ve bought from this company once and overall was good.
Temu products have poor quality, from the clothes to gadgets and everything else. I am talking thru experience. Never again.
Temu is a information selling company ( parent company that runs it ). They make little to nothing on their item sales. The sales come in the form of selling your info which is the big dollars. Secure payment method = you going around the system 👍
Plastic bird water is useless but everything else seems usable!
The pea trellis is pretty cool!
Rockwool is really hard to find good stuff, there's only one manufacturer that makes top quality rockwool and thats the Dutch company Grodan (where Gathera gets theirs).
Temu itself spend huge amounts of money on google ads, which outbid companies like ours and make it unprofitable to compete. Its not necessarily that their products are better tha nours – its just that ours don't even pop up when you search for them because Temu is spending so much money to have their products shown. They lose $30 per order, and are backed by the Chinese government who support them to keep people employed – of course at the cost of Aussie businesses. On the plus side, they do have incredibly cheap prices for the consumer, buy m bet is that they'll wipe out all local competition, and then crank up prices once they're gone.
Finally a useful review👏👏
You missing out on opportunities 😅
I've had very mixed results from Temu. If you keep in mind it's the cheapest of the cheap (quality wise) some stuff can be useful. Also reviewed a bit of their garden stuff if you wanted to take a look 🙂
When shopping you REALLY need to read carefully, I also have my handy measuring tape and always read the reviews.
