    Finally, many of the items on Temu are factory rejects that would have gone to the landfill otherwise.

    Are they really? You got a source? This is pretty cool if true.

      I don’t have first-hand experience in Chinese factories, but I have a friend who works in a US factory. The quality of the items I get from Temu seem about on par with the factory rejects I’ve gotten from him.

      I usually see higher quality stuff when buying from Alibaba directly, so I assumed AliExpress and Temu are their version of an outlet store.
