Temu is just new wish, right?
I think Temu has been around a bit longer, Wish just got more popular during Covid
?? Temu is like 2 years old, they did a huge marketing blitz when they first started. Wish has been around since 2010, and I think they were probably most famous well before the pandemic.
Hm so it is, I could have sworn that Temu was around before 2022
I thought the same thing, at most as old as the 1700s, but then realized I was thinking of emus, the flightless bird.
LOL if you post like this often you could compile your comments into a greatest hits
Temu is different because they allow a seller to say I'll make plastic dog shit toys by November 1. So it goes on sale in September and 100, 000 people order it. Now the company makes a single batch and knows exactly how many to make and what materials to buy. It's smart. That's why they want your friends involved because it lowers the price more to make more at once.
I'm not defending the company but it is a smart way and less costly and wasteful than making 100, 000 dog shit toys and selling 10, throwing the other 999,990 in the local river and writing it off on taxes.
