Temu purchase - will I live to regret it?
Discussion
Never bought anything from Temu but I thought I'd take a chance on a battery power pack for the sake of the cost of a couple of pints. I sometimes have an issue with a flat battery on stored cars and so these things appeal and look easier than messing about with jump leads. £12 delivered on Temu. First hurdle negotiated. I had doubts it would arrive or it would be a keyring in a box but no it's here, all boxed up and looks solid enough. Now charged up/
So will it:
a) work perfectly
b) not work at all
c) work once or twice then fail
d) burn the house or car down when charging
e) fry the electrics of the donor car
f) harvest my bank details via the Temu app
g) a combination of the above
Place your bets. Will be trying it shortly.

a0 Work perfectly.
Based on the caveat that you looked around at ones for 5 - 10x the price beforehand & picked one that looked the same as they are likely all made on the same production line, just "harvested" before the stickers go on them.
Lets face it no matter which brand you chose, they are all made in China anyway.

Have bought a variety of stuff from Temu
Not had a problem yet, and as the above poster said, most stuff is made in china then "badged" regardless
Stay away from the really budget stuff and you should be fine. Don't bother with returns or credit for problems with returns, if they offer you a refund take it

I've bought a few tools from them like ratchet ring spanners, plastic trim tools, etc. and they have been fine.
I'll bet in fact everybody who buys from Amazon or ebay has bought from Temu, but they don't know it.I know of a few people who bulk buy from Temu/Ali & re-sell via other platforms at a competitive price making a good mark-up.
