Comment on TEMU black hole
Zerlyna@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I have ordered from TEMU. Yes, getting their free stuff sends you into a black hole. You have to wait a few weeks for most items to show up. It saves a few bucks. Gotta watch the clothing fabric, lots is “shiny polyester”. It’s great for cheap seasonal decorations. Used to be free shipping on a $10 order. Now it’s $15 I think. My partner has figured out you can return at least one item per order for free (and still keep the item) so if you play it right, order a small quantity every day and when you receive it, see what you can return. When you order, it will keep the shopping cart “open” for hours, so if you come back it just adds to the initial order. That’s why I said order a few things once a day. It take like 8 hours to close out the order window.

Damn, sounds like way too much work! LOL
Had I been asked to pay for shipping or something, I would have been cool with it for these “free” items. But my god, it’s like they didn’t want me to actually close out the order without paying way more than zero for it.
