šJokerChinese immigrants in the U.S. are running Temu shipping centers out of their homes
themurphyTemu is insanely popular. Donāt underestimate this. Yes, itās pure crap, but people buy it. They earn bucks.
Meaning, itās not a valid argument to say itās crap, and then itās not a problem. Temu is a problem.
But then we have to start another discussion about the free market, because then Temu is valid.
Then what? Legit question, I donāt have the answer to.
I got some temu stuff. A 7$ bag heat sealer. Works perfectly fine.
However, I do not abide surveillance pricing. I can defeat the surveillance pricing but the procedure annoys me, so Iāve gone back to aliexpress which is easier to defeat.
Any tips on defeating aliexpress pricing? I stopped buying because everything was up so much.
Itās a process for me, I open hundreds of tabs, save all URLs, strip trackers from URLs, remove duplicates, then I reload all tabs into a fresh, empty multiaccount container, then I use a scraper addon called gatherfromtabs to pickup all the prices, then I log and setup everything up to the last page of the sale, I tally up all the totals in excel, order by price, usually 100s of ads, find the absolute 3 cheapest ones, review the ads really thoroughly to avoid scams and then buy 10-20x of whatever this item was to make it worth my time.
This process will become more difficult over time.
I mean, I rather not, but I rather not pay extra for nothing, usually saves 10- 30%
maybe itās because iāve been watching too much of the office lately but I expected you to end this comment with:

With this, I bought a lot of 1 cent crap when it was a thing.
