You do have to watch their prices. They advertise coupons but when you Look at your cart price the cheaper price is not what you are paying. Shipping used to be free when you spent $10, now, it just changed to $15.

If you put a product in your cart and don't check out immediately, it can be either higher or lower if you return so I always do a second search for the item before I buy. I don't know if you know this, but after you receive your order you can do a price comp and if the item was sold cheaper before they will refund you the difference. It is an option they offer and I have used it before and got money back.

Me too!!

Me too! It gives you a truer sense of what things really look like.

Glad I could help!

I absolutely agree with you.

Thank you for your response, I’m also amazed at “smaller than I thought” comment from other Temu haulers.

That is a great tip! 55 years?! Wow! That is awesome and so amazing!

I’ve been crocheting for 57 years and I don’t wear a ring never have probably never will. As a cross-stitcher I never cross stitch in hand. I always use a hoop, so it really is all about what you’re comfortable with.

My mom liked to crochet as well. She learned how to crochet in her older years and she made some really pretty doilies. I really haven't done much crocheting but it looks like fun. I like how many cute little animals one can make. It looks like a perfect thing to do when one is worn out from the more physical type of work. I made an embroidery bag with the pieces you sent. It will be in one of my next videos! Thank you for sharing your story with me and for watching my videos.

Just watched your video of that incredible embroidery case. WOW!! So thrilled to see the fabrics you purchased from my shop used to make that. Your creativity staggers my mind. You must never sit still, Sherry. ❤

Thank you so much Donna. You are so sweet and yes, it is hard for me to sit still but as old age is approaching, it has become easier...ha ha

We are all different and it is okay. Some people love seeing it opened...maybe its like Christmas for them or something....and after watching people make junk journals, apparently crinkle noises are sought after with a passion....so weird. My second Temu art haul is mostly all opened and a whole year worth of goodies if you are into art. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbNmha14vNHZcWg.html

I completely agree with. Yeah 35 minute video could be cut down to 20 minutes if we didn’t have to watch all the cellophane being stripped off the items so I appreciate your comment.

I plan to go to KZfaq university for crocheting as well. My kit was not comprehensive but at least I have the supplies. I agree, I think I'll buy my yarn from Joanns or some other place though cause I've seen others who bought yard from Temu and it is not good. I saw a video titled something like how to unravel the yarn from a sweater to reuse and thought that might be fun as well. Upcycling my yarn sounds really adventurous.

Those are all great tips! Thank you for sharing!

I hope you find some goodies on Temu. If you don't like what you get, remember they will refund up to one item per order. I don't abuse their policy but the other day I bought a set of rugs that were just junk and Temu refunded me my money. I haven't had a go at crocheting yet but you've encouraged me! Thank you! I'd love to crochet things. Thank you so much for such a lovely post.

Even when you buy from stores here in the USA you have no idea where in China the items are manufactured. VERY FEW retailers are committed to selling items from fair labor manufacturers.

With Amazon and other box stores selling the same items, they all could be doing it but we have no way of knowing that I know of. I feel like this makes Temu about the same as them all though because they all carry the same products. It is just that Temu is cutting out the middle man and that makes the prices so much lower. My concern was that the app stays running in the background and with the parent company of Temu caught collecting our personal data, I felt I need to warn everyone in case they didn't know.

Thanks!

Shein is tge worse

I like most of my items but I agree with you that you do have to be watchful and I think watching other people's hauls helps to find the better stuff. Also, I discovered heavier type items can be cheaper on Amazon so it is important to compare before purchasing.

I understand completely and plan to delete the app as well as soon as I finish the two games I'm playing on their app to win prizes. I'm so close that I hate to throw away my progress...ha ha. I prefer to shop on the pc though because the layout is different and it is way easier to see the sizes of things and read the descriptions and oftentimes the prices are cheaper and there is no coupon hassle and harassing emails...though some of them are quite hilarious. Thank you for sharing your story and your thoughts.

Wow! I've never had that happen to me. I would have never even thought of it.

It is difficult who to believe nowadays with Jeff Bezos funneling money into the current administration and his profits dropping etc.... I don't know if it is a legit threat or they are just missing major funding etc. I have not seen any actual legal issues filed against Temu but honestly, everyone is gathering data on us...especially our own government ....so the only one I trust is Jesus. Anyhow, I did use some of the fabric. I've used a lot of the smaller squares and they vary in quality but most are just fine. I may try some larger pieces from them. I noticed they sell 100 percent linen flat sheets too which would be fun to try and use as fabric. Hope your order turns out good and remember, if you don't like your items just go and try and leave a bad review and they will offer you a refund on your item and you can keep it for free. They only allow this up to a certain amount and I try and be as honest as I can be and not take advantage of it. Also, if they are late with your order they will give you $5.00 which I have had happen a couple of times. They were only a day late but they still gave it to me. So nice.

@@SherryJonesDesigns ok thanks. Good to know. My order actually came today and it was all ok (except a clasp on a keychain I bought but thankfully I have the materials to fix it).

Thank you! I'm so glad!

I'm not quilting with them but putting them on as patches on garments which I do not want shrinking on the garment. I prewashed them and they came out fine. So sorry if I worried or upset you.

I wondered if the crochet project would be too hard for a newbie. Thank you for the good advice. I really appreciate it and I will look up the channel you mentioned. My youngest daughter bought a felting kit a few years back and let me jab at it a few times but that is all that I've ever done. It was fun. I'm glad you liked the Temu haul. I'll keep their zippers in mind. Long zippers can be expensive. Thank you so much for watching my video and for sharing your story and advice with me! I greatly appreciate it!

I completely understand. The world is in a lot of turmoil right now. Anything could happen.
