Temu is just a different front-end for the same logistics network that Ali Express runs on.

The main difference is that the Chinese Govt is spending billions to use Temu to undercut Amazon. That won't last forever so I say get in early with Temu and profit from their stupid economic battlefield

Haha yeah I have a feeling the free shipping won't last forever. I do notice they consolidate everything into one parcel vs Aliexpress' way of sending from different suppliers. They're owned by Pinduoduo as far as I can tell.

Any reason why they chose Temu over Aliexpress? Just because they don't like Jack Ma or something?

[–] flashmedallion@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

I think it's just a rebrand intended to avoid association with AliExpress by the average consumer. AliExpress isn't going anywhere.
