All the terrible quality and human rights violations also apply to any other Chinese shop as well as Amazon or whatever your local Amazon equivalent is. I’ve found the exact same shit sold on Temu in physical store shelves for those cost-saving stores. The entire supply chain is fucked.
I do order shit directly from China, but only if I need something specific like phone parts or electronics that I see “local” shops carry with the exact same photos, descriptions, and pictures, for twice or triple the price. I’ve fallen for that trick too many times, I’ll go straight to the source now.
At least the Temu shit isn’t as bad as buying chocolate or clothes…
Exactly. Don’t buy anything on Temu if you about quality or human rights at all.

This! Some of my friends crap on Temu but have Amazon Prime and wind up buying the same stuff from Chinese manufacturers anyway.
Yep. Go to flea markets and trift stores people.
