RIP Temu!

Temu has officially turned off ALL Google Shopping campaigns.

They went from being a top 5 iOS app to now being ranked 64. What a brutal blow.

This is obviously a big thanks to tariffs and the end of the Section 321 loophole. Temu is no more.

Does this mean they’ll stop sending me 20 emails every day?

Temu is evil.
Good riddance, Temu.

Raising prices for Americans is a bad thing, not a good thing. Inflation was a big reason Biden was unpopular and Harris lost. Textiles are not a big strategic industry we need to protect.

Good. Maybe they won’t be in my face now when I’m browsing on X.

Were they the ones selling the “realistic robot dog “ scam?

The Section 321 loophole was outrageous.

Popular e-commerce companies, including giants Shein and Temu, use the so-called “de minimis” exemption to ship tens of millions of packages — everything from end tables and lamps to shoes and underwear — to U.S. consumers every year. So long as each individual package is worth $800 or less, they aren’t required to pay import fees or go through typical customs inspections. But under an executive order signed by Trump Wednesday, April 2, 2025, that loophole will close on May 2.

Thank GOD for President Trump looking out for all Americans. God Bless You, President Trump!

I have no idea what TEMU is.

It just goes to show you what a fossil I am.

I do know what Amazon is and I don’t use that either.

I wondered why I stopped getting ten emails per day from them. 😉

Hopefully Shein will follow suit.

I will admit that I placed 1 order with TEMU in the past. For less than $50 I got 5 belts - 3 were very good quality, 2 so-so; a decent vest; 2 pairs of ok suspenders; and I can’t remember what the other 2 things were so they didn’t really impress me. The 3 good belts were well worth what I paid for the whole thing.

Then I started getting texts, emails, ads showing up to the point that I just couldn’t deal with it anymore - what a pain getting all that to stop.

I ask forgiveness from my fellow freepers for my one time venture.

“I do know what Amazon is...”

Then you know what temu is.....it’s just the chinese version with a lot poorer quality products.

Shop like a billionaire? I don’t think President Trump and Elon Musk buy cheap Chinese junk direct from the factory.
