If so, what? And, how much did it cost?

While we're at it, would you also like to know my birthdate and mother's maiden name?

I have purchased too much! There is some really poor quality stuff there, but occasionally you find some outstanding deals.
I don't know why, but iPhone charging cables, never seem to last much longer than three months before they only sometimes charge. I can get a 9 foot cable at Temu for about $2.25. They don't last but three months but it's cheap enough.
I used to get really good deals on like say white socks ($1 each in a bundle) but it turns out that some of them are so thinly made that they lose their integrity quickly. On the positive side they have a very liberal return policy and if an item is under $15, they tell you to just keep it.
On the negative side, an increasing amount of their sales come from local shipping and you have to pay like $2.99 shipping per item which defeats the low price purpose.

I would say overall that it's still not a bad idea to shop there because of the liberal return policies. If they don't tell you to keep it, they will print you out a free shipping label. It's all trial and error. Be careful and notice if they're charging you $2.99 for shipping as it is labeled as local". Typically you have to spend about $25 before tax to get free shipping and Anything that is sold that says "local" will not be included in that $25 minimum. If you have to spend like seven dollars to meet the minimum, you can always buy these cheap sponges that have a bristle side and are incredibly cheap, like maybe $.20 apiece and they store well.

I have these warm slip-on house shoes from TEMU. They are very comfy, but usually only last about a year before they start coming apart. For the price they are a good deal.

Should this be merged with the "TRANS PORTAL" thread?

I bought a cheesy guitar rug for my guitar area.. like a 3x5 rug all of about $10 I think. Was fine enough quality for what I was going for.

Hit and miss. I have a top and dress from there but i have sent several things back.
I got some super cute curtains for Little's room that were much cheaper than the pottery barn ones I wanted.

Yes! It was $2 and shipped from China and was about 10% of the size it should have been.

Don't bother.

I've gotten some pretty decent sweaters. Only gonna wear em, what, twice a year?

I've also gotten dumb stuff for my students like stickers & chicken flingers.

Also got a lot of holiday decorations. Don't particularly need high quality.

None of their stuff that looks cotton is cotton. Polyester, shiny, thin. If you're gonna buy clothes, size up 2x.

Yes, I bought my kid some Amiibo cards. They were like $1.50 total shipped from wherever the hell they came from. Stunningly cheap.

Like a two inch long rubber chicken that has a place for your finger behind the head and a "tail". Put chicken on finger, pull tail, and fling like a rubber band.
