My first order from Temu

I wanted custom jewelry in memory of my cats, and I was about to pay multiple times the price to middlemen. Just one piece of jewelry like that would have cost more than the entire contents of this Temu order, 8 products, if ordered from elsewhere.

Cotton shirt with my own print

The shirt is cotton as promised, but the quality of the print is such that I don't predict it will last very long. I ordered an Asian size XL, because I often wear size L in t-shirts available in Finland. I want a looser and longer shirt. Well, the shirt is indeed too big for me. That should correspond to a Euro size 38, but it is quite a lot bigger. A shirt with my own print cost 4.24 euros at Temu. The picture shows the shirt after the first wash.

 

 

Two custom cat necklaces

I was worried beforehand that there would be mistakes in the cats' names, but there aren't any. At first I thought the chains' locks weren't in the middle of the chain, but then I realized they had an extension piece. So you can choose how long the chain should be, which is convenient. The price of a cat-themed necklace with three cats at Temu is 3.15 euros. The pictures are of poor quality, sorry about that.

 

 

In an online store that looks Finnish (but isn't actually Finnish) with its name and website address, the price of a three-paw necklace would have been 39 euros (and that's supposedly a 50% discount), in an English-language store it would have been 27 euros, and in Temu it is 4.29 euros. But you have to pay ten times the price to middlemen, right?

 

 

 

Keychain in memory of cats

"I loved you your whole life, I'll miss you for the rest of mine." Unfortunately, the text on this keychain is dimmer than in the Temu product image.

 

 

Heat socks

How are the copycat socks compared to the real Heat Holders? The price at Temu is 4.38e, so you could get three of these for the price that Heat Holders cost in Finland. Let's see how long they last.

Two foldable travel ballerinas

One pair with cat theme, other similar to the ones that fell apart on the last cruise. I gave up ordering the Hello Kitty ones, there would have been more options for those too. Temu has a really wide selection of Hello Kitty products, it's rare to find them in Finland, especially clothes intended for adults.

It feels bad that I had to place an order without any discount code. All the codes I found were only valid in the app. I'm losing money because I don't have a smartphone.

I would never order electrical appliances or cosmetics from Temu. I also want cotton and not polyester in clothes. It's a different matter whether the clothes are actually cotton, even if they promise to be.

I should start a dropshipping business myself. I just need to come up with good products to order from Temu (affiliate link) and sell at a higher price.

Ps. I would have liked to order these Hello Kitty panties, but all the sellers only have one size available, which is not suitable for me. Are these definitely licensed and approved by Sanrio...?
