Whats the verdict on temu vs aliExpress. I still find things %30 cheaper on AE while most of my orders are delivered within 6 days.

I get so much Temu spam that I finally gave up and decided to check them up. I compared 3 random items that the spam in Instagram was about - exact same items were 3x - 10x cheaper on AliExpress than Temu (~0.50 on Ali, ~5.0 on Temu, ~10 on Amazon). I haven't looked further but my impression was that they just ship stuff from AliExpress with a X price multiplier?

How do you go about finding stuff on AliExpress that isn't (too) shit when it turns up? Or is that just the risk?

Out of curiosity, what types of goods do you get from those websites?

Anything where you're actually ok with all the NEUVWY branded junk on Amazon but want it much cheaper in exchange for possibly slightly slower delivery and a horrible browsing experience.

[obilgic]

lots of electronic components, modules, tools, etc... Things you get on Amazon for $10-15 range is basically $2-4 on AliExpress.

If It's a big or $75+ item, usually prices are same as Amazon.

A 16" 4K USB-C OLED display (with a touch sensor even). It works exactly as advertised and looks really nice but is rather useless for me, to be honest.

Great, cheap flashlights with so many options for customization (Convoy).

Chinese knockoffs and other junk products

Smart home stuff, keyboards are cheap and pretty good on Ali Express.

I fond them to have the same prices and mostly the same items but temu often doesnt have the really nice version of a thing thats basically from a “brand” in china

Here is today’s random example: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr2D3Y4

Couldn’t find anything like that on temu
