    I have been looking at the gardening items on temu . The plant tags , the sèed starter sets and clips for clipping to a cane etc.
    Their seems to be a wide range of these and comparing with other shops they look to be good value too even if they only last one season.
    But I'm wondering if any members have dealt with temu and what is your opinion in general please.

    I don't know of anything wrong with them but we won't buy from them as they are a Chinese company. :noidea: We try to avoid Chinese made products because of their poor employment practices but it can't always be avoided.

    It doesn't work out that way always. I tend to like Volvo cars (Swedish) but when my current car was delivered to me a few years ago it had come from China :doh:.

      I've just ordered a watering can and a Leaf dish for the birds from Temu. I've used them for Art supplies and clothing/ home furnishings / bits and bobs quite a lot. Overall I was happy with my purchases, but a few I wasn't and I either sent them back and got a refund or they refunded me and I kept the items. I'm aware a lot of the things they sell come from China, but when you don't have much money you find you have to compromise. So many things come from China these days.
