Honestly, their stuff is so cheap. I make cards, and the crafting materials, cards, papers, beaded appliques, etc, etc, are dirt cheap and incredibly beautiful.
I know they can get bad reviews, but so far for me....fabulous.
I've just joined and I can understand why having spent an hour browsing!
Look out for opening offers.
My first order was for a pair of trousers, just over one pound, with free postage. I wasn't expecting them to be any good....they are brilliant.
Just had another delivery I never got opening offers
What did you get Mags?
I don't order many clothes, it's all crafting stuff for me.
Slippers, again, they're so cheap, I put them away to winter, ordered another pair for summer, so I'm sorted. A fleece blanket and some bits and bobs.

Everything is cheap on Temu.
I ordered a couple of tops but they were massive. I ordered large, thinking as they come from China they would be a small fitting, but they were huge.
I stick to crafting stuff now, but I may order sandals for next year.

Yes clothes are hard, I always buy a size up for dresses, just incase, but they are big. A couple of tops are huge tbh. Better that that than small I suppose.

Seriously, one just fell off my shoulders, I binned it.
I think XXS would have fitted better.

Lol....an XXS would still have fitted a size 14/16 here.
I won't order clothes again from there....I'm sticking to crafts.

I've bought a couple of jumpers, they're ok, I prefer them baggy tbh.

I ordered some shoes online, (from Hotter not Temu) half price, and they looked really nice. The ankle strap is far too tight, the foot part too wide, so they wobble about whilst simultaneously cutting off the circulation to my legs....they are going back.

That's the drawback of ordering stuff online though, especially clothes or shoes.
To be honest, I still love actual shopping, in real shops not internet ones, it's not as convenient, but at least you can try things on.

Yes I've learnt my lesson too. Clothes I will buy from shops from now on.

I've not ordered anything from it yet as I've been way to busy looking after my wife.
My phone keeps pinging with an endless artray of offers which I have just ignored.
When it comes to buying clothes can you get XXMedium?

I don't think you could be extra 'normal' size.
Medium did used to be the more popular size in clothes, I suspect large is now, judging by the size of people, especially younger ones.

I love that website, great bargains and the stuff is really nice.
Once you work out your size it's not a problem.
Off to look....
I love Shein.
I was on there again yesterday, it's like Christmas when my parcels arrive!!
😎
I know, I am the same with Temu.
I have received some brilliant materials for card making, I know you are crafty too Vita, they have stuff you just cant get locally, and they are a fraction of the price you would pay on Ebay or Amazon.
I will post some pics of the cards I have made , I am even doing Christmas cards already.
So here are a couple of the cards I have made using the craft papers etcI have bought of Temu.
Lots of little stocking fillers and four stockings to fill up is keeping me busy.
Four human and one canine.
My parcels are in transit, I do get awfy excited when they arrive.
😁

Not too long ago people shopped for necessities, now it seems for lots of women shopping has become a pastime. I wonder what brought about the change.

I think the internet has changed people's shopping habits a lot. The ease of sitting in your armchair, browsing, it's very easy to be tempted to get stuff you don't actually need.

Beautiful cards Syl, very pretty!!
Thanks Vita and Mags.
I love making the cards, used to sell them, but now I just make them for people I know appreciate them.
Slippers, again, they're so cheap, I put them away to winter, ordered another pair for summer, so I'm sorted. A fleece blanket and some bits and bobs.
