The internet says that technically, Temu is not a scam. I beg to differ.
If anyone has had any successful, legitimate dealing with Temu, speak up.

We have been blessed with two multi-post spammers in a twelve hour period. I think I got them all taken down but please flag if you find more. I am not sure what is going on but I will definitely need help catching them all if this keeps up.Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.

"Temu is a legitimate e-commerce platform, not an outright scam, but shopping on it comes with considerable risks and mixed customer experiences. It is owned by the Chinese company..."
So says the internet. "Owned by (a) Chinese company" is all I need to hear. What is worse than an "outright scam"?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

A couple years ago when Temu showed up I took a chance and bought a cheap forge. Was notified when it was shipped and a month later no forge…contacted the co. they said I should go looking for it, not my responsibility, they sent me another one. After opening it up I found the propane connection was wrong, I sent a pic of what I received and the type of connection that was needed. Turns out the forge I was sent had a European connection. I said just send me the fitting and we were good…they sent me another forge, that day I get a call from a house a mile down the road. They had a package addressed to me, I went and retrieved it.
You guessed it it was the first forge sent. That is my temu experience. Three forges for the price of one.

Just one experience with them. Got a couple coffee mugs for Christmas presents last year.
Got the merchandise, received it within what I consider a reasonable time, price was not bad at all.
Scam? Not really, but I will say that their marketing practices do leave a LOT to be desired.

I do not know what difference there may be be between USA and Canada, but I have no complaints.
My wife started buying children's things from them about two years ago.
I have made perhaps ten purchases since then.
Do not expect high-end merchandise. It might be available, but I have not seen it.
Much of what they sell is cheaper than similar products from, say, Amazon, but sometimes it is more expensive than full retail, so you should do some checking before purchase.
They operate similarly to Amazon or Best Buy, etc., warehousing many products, while offering items from independent suppliers that may ship directly to you.
Some of it is worth little as it is such poor quality, but their guarantee is solidly good.
If the product is faulty or not what it was advertised as being, their guarantee is one of the best available. Full refund and free return shipping.
(sometimes they just tell you to keep the product and either give you a full refund or you can use the amount to cover future purchases.)
EG:
I bought two really cheap wrist watches for my 5yo son. The strap broke off at the attachment point in the first week on one, so .
I sent them photos and tried to return both watches but was told to just keep them and they gave me a full refund.
As said, above, no complaints.
