Many of these reviews include users highlighting the site’s wide selection of affordable products — a welcome relief for many cash-strapped households continuously on the search for additional savings when shopping.
Charles, 37, a single father of three based in Texas, shared his satisfaction over being able to save more money when shopping for his children’s clothes on the site. “Temu has made it possible for me to shop for my kids’ clothes while still having enough savings left for my own needs. This has been really helpful as I can buy more items for my home improvement projects,” he added.
Meredith, 55, a marketing freelancer based in Pennsylvania, noted how the site helped her to better manage her finances over its extremely affordable prices. “From fitness to fashion and beauty, I love how I can get everything I need from the site while still having enough savings. Overall it’s been really great in keeping my finances every month in check!” she said.
Launched September 2022, Temu is the latest entry to a host of popular e-commerce giants in the country such as Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and Shein. By making global products more accessible, the cross-border e-commerce platform aims to empower working-class buyers in their shopping choices, giving them more ways to improve their quality of life.
Temu leverages on these sourcing and fulfillment capabilities shared as part of the Nasdaq-listed PDD e-commerce system. As one of the biggest e-commerce players in the world, PDD works with more than 11 million merchants globally and has processed over 61 billion orders in 2021 alone.
