So I saw an ad for this cool looking led strip thing you can put in your car and then it has lots of settings.
Clicked the link and it took me to Temu, figure sure I’ll give it a go and download the app.
OMFG what the heck is this gamified shopping?
When it loaded I swear to Odin it went like a casino and said you can get the item you clicked on for free and you can choose another 5 items.
So I’m browsing through all this crap I don’t really want and adding things to move on. After selecting all free items it then said you win again or something and gave me more things to pick.
Then at the end it’s like right spend $35 to get all the other stuff for free, but said the original thing I clicked to get was not available. It’s like a bait and switch and I’m thinking I don’t any of this really I just wanted the cool led strip thing and to be left alone.
Honestly I really can’t believe people would use this place at all.
It’s essentially an app to cause as much addiction as possible, with 10-20% discounts to allow for it
It was cheaper than resellers in local sites, but you could usually find the same thing but on AliExpress instead (much more honest of a site)
Thanks for this info.
I’ll check out AliExpress next time I see something interesting.
They’re still not great, but better. If you don’t hear from in a week or so, check your order. It might have been cancelled. They do give refunds within a certain window though.
Prices have got up a LOT with the tariffs
