The SO received a package from AliExpress that he'd ordered in February so maybe there's hope for the $2 earrings I ordered in March.
Happy Friday afternoon, people's!
I've been ordering some stuff from Temu and their shipping has actually been fast and free. Usually a week or sometimes two to be delivered. Everytime I look at Aliexpress lately, it says fast shipping then the estimated delivery date is like a month and a half out. Ali definitely has a larger range of items though.
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?
I think it's just a rebrand intended to avoid association with AliExpress by the average consumer. AliExpress isn't going anywhere.
