• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you.

Temu Coupons... be very careful

Sapientia et Doctrina Stabilitas
I visited Temu because one of my search page results for a 20mm combination reamer/chamfer tool for finishing work tops with dog holes was for a knock off tool on temu.

When I arrived at the page I was presented with one of those roulette wheel discount spin thingies. I just hit x to close the window like I always do but it came back and said you win $100 discount coupon, IF I buy 3 items.

So I thought okay why not, I need more items than that. I selected 3 items and made my purchase and they never gave me the promised coupon.

Just another scammer site that has no issue with fraudulent practices.

So Temu now joins Vmedia on my shi#tlist of companies never to do business with.
 
My wife seems to like Temu. Every time she buys something there, I shake my head and remind her that it's only a matter of time till she gets burned badly.
 
Update, my temu order came in...

I can report that the vendor fraudulently claimed the one tool I purchased was a combined reamer/chamfer tool for cleaning up 20mm dog holes. Just like the British UJK version.

It is not. It is a chamfer only tool which is not reason to buy the tool, you need the reamer more.

I haven't inspected the other two tools I got yet. I have low expectations.
 
Ya, they aren't like dealing with Amazon! My mom wanted to send something back from Temu and I had to help her navigate through their system which they outright tell you the return is up for review first, and you only get one return!!!
