Doesn’t that mean they are being produced in the same Chinese facilities? What makes Amazon so much more acceptable? (Legitimately asking)


I've seen that it is the exact same seller on Amazon as Temu.

My MIL is a temu addict and we get into fights because she buys too much crap for the kids. We are both staunch democrats.

I think most temu shoppers are boomer women of all political leanings.

You have to explain this. How is it different from any of these other sites including Amazon.

Years ago I purchased seeds for a flowering plant from Amazon that stated they were from a stateside vendor. They were mailed from China and were not what they said they were. I believe it was illegal and didn't know what to do with the seeds. I worried throwing them away would be a problem. I wrote Amazon several messages about the issue and they did nothing and did not care.

But I'm sure you have no issues shopping from Amazon. When I see plenty of the same Temu products sold on Amazon for a huge markup. But it's okay if it's amazon, right?


This. I just visited a cute decor shop that sells stuff for crafting and was stunned by how much was straight from Temu. I've bought items for crafting from them and admit I'm ignorant about them.

Can someone differentiate them all. I've heard of alieexpress, temu, shein, and another one I forget the name. Maybe it was promise or something like that. Most of the vendors I've bought from on temu for scrapbook paper, paint, brushes etc also sell on Amazon. It is the same vendor who charges more on Amazon. Aren't most of the sellers on Amazon from China as well?

I forgot about temu. For a while they were everywhere in popup ads. I have never bought anything from them.

Amazon sellers buy in bulk from Chinese companies like Temu and Shein and triple the prices.

I think I bought something from Temu or one of those type by mistake. It is a cat bed. I try to only buy from online stores connected to box stores like IKEA, Crate and Barrel. But this was called Fuzzy Pets or something and now I found out it’s coming from China. I’ll be more careful in the future.

Democrat

What do you buy that isn’t slave labor Chinese made?

So there are 4 amazons

1) Amazon that sells books. That’s mostly the original Amazon, though self publishing is rapidly corrupting that as well.

2) Amazon branded goods and integrated brands like Anker — they have a brand of products and they carefully curate the Amazon presence

3) other brands like Apple or Sony etc on Amazon. Sometimes can be sold by Amazon. Sometimes by 3rd party sellers. All inventory is mixed by SKU. Good luck.

4) Drop shippers with random character “brands” selling dodgy probably toxic goods. Yes same as Temu.

I still occasionally buy some books of Amazon if I can trace their ISBN. Just be sure seller is Amazon.


Thank you. We have been going to Barnes and Noble or directly to publishing houses for some of the more exacting stuff. And of course library and free little library. Keep the reading going, but eff Amazon.

Ditto though centrist.

I’ve also *significantly* reduced my spending on Amazon for plastic stuff.
