This is going to last lesson a couple of weeks. Trump is not stupid he’ll figure out a way to let China meet with him to save face. It’s more of a Japanese thing, I know, but it’s still matters to them. And Trump really doesn’t care he just wants trade Wars to end.
For many, many moons, we have tried to avoid Chinese garbage. This will just make it easier.
Temu is doomed, and should be—their products suck!
China created a bioweapon that killed MILLIONS all in order to gain power and destroy Trump’s presidency so yeah, I want China to burn
This may dissuade many people buying unneeded items because of the higher price. It’s been: “Hey honey, we can get a bigger flat screen for only $300. Let’s upgrade”. It may self-correct hyper consumerism. Initially, it will slow retail, but eventually.......
I stopped buying things on eBay Trump’s first term , shipping went insane ,LOL
The article uses the scenario of a visiting tourist wanting to ship a trinket as the reason for the dollar floor for tariffs. China has been abusing this.
I bought something from China for about twenty bucks delivered. To send it back was $150. It was the wrong item. I took the loss.
Yeah, I think it was something Clinton did. They were shipping for free. Nice deal if you can...somehow...get it.
Got until May 1st? Already got my little cheap phone accessories from AliExpress that will last a bit but want to get a 16-bit SDR. All stuff I just can’t get here. That will be it for them for a while I guess.
“Temu is doomed, and should be—their products suck!”
Have you ever ordered from TEMU?
I purchased a small part for a camera from China a few years ago. It cost about $2 delivered!
I wondered, how can China ship so cheaply? It became apparent the US government was highly subsidizing Chinese businesses.
Yes, shoes that fell apart. Why do you ask?
Just wondering why you would order products that suck?
You bought shoes from Temu?
Just once, fell for the price and look. Thanks gator for the back-handed insult.
For years I’ve said the Chinese national motto is “9000 miles is a long way to return anything”.
From FR reporting, the USPS subsidize mail from China to the US.
My wife loves TEMU. We got a nice 4-wheel cart same as on Amazon but 40% cheaper.
Shipped from warehouse in US.
