Temu? Anyone else use them for EDC supplies
on: October 26, 2024, 03:36:09 AM
I've bought stuff for my EDC bags and bicycle stuff from them. I've found a lot of stuff is the same as I get from Amazon at 1/2 the price
Latest order came today large pill vaults that cost $6.50-7.50 on Amazon $9 for 3 small pill vaults that I carry one day's of prescription meds $2.50-3.50 on  Amazon 6 for $3.50 . A little folding silverware set for less than $2 needle threaders 12 for $.68 . sling swivels for gun slings $7 for 3 sets. I have small stainless steel plates in my bags . Fishing tackle . I don't buy knives or food stuff. I've never got anything that I thought was unusable

How's the shipping? I feel like with places like that you're often stuck waiting a long time to get it and crossing your fingers that it won't look like it got ran over on the way to you.

There is a $15 minimum. They have a $5 credit if it takes more than 2 weeks. I don't buy stuff like knifes etc.
My last order had large pill vaults 3 for $9 
Small pill vaults 6 for $3.50. needle threaders 12 for $.68  a folding silverware set fork spoon and butter knife in a plastic case $2 .  A fero rod and holder made to mount on a kydex sheath $3.50 .and a small pocket watch for ←$3 . Most stuff I have ordered is the same you can get from Amazon at 1/2-3/5th the Amazon cost
Edit
I looked it up this order was placed on 10/16 and delivered 10/25

I've got a stash of brass Paracord beads on order ATM.
Picked up some odds and ends from them.

The wife has turned in to a Temu junky.
She came back, yesterday, from taking care of her father and spent around 2 hours opening her Temu packages.   ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
