It's not just all the fees and taxes that FBA Sellers need to pay that causes the prices on Amazon to be so much more expensive than on Temu. It's also the humongous profits that these greedy middleman (FBA Sellers) are taking. Something your video failed to emphasize.
Yeah I don't care about time if it's cheaper I'll wait I am in no hurry depending what I order,also Temu doesn't charge me fees to purchase things the taxes are outrageous you got to purchase a product of at least 20 bucks to get free shipping but that's fine normal I always purchase something 20 or more.
@@ahmetgunduz4159The Temu and SheIn problem . It's a data theft business . They are malware. They are owned by CCP officials. If you've ever browsed through social media, chances are you've come across advertisements that seem to offer pretty good deals. And when you click through, you find yourself on a Chinese marketplace. One of these is Shein, a fashion retail company based in Nanjing, China. The other is Temu, an online marketplace similar to Amazon, but based out of China, and with most of its goods shipped directly from China. These companies are now coming under scrutiny, both in the United States and in the European Union. And as the controversy unfolds, there's a chance policies could affect them in a similar way to the Tik Tok restrictions.
As a buyer it is annoying when I order something from Amazon to find out the seller bought it from Temu! This is why I rarely order from Amazon anymore. 😢
Also, amazon prime shipping is a joke anymore and you can find prices cheaper on mfgs website sometimes bc amazon builds in the prime cost into the goods tgey sell which causes them to be expensive
@@kickingitwithgigi4065 haha yeah basically when you need quality paper n stuff..temu is the easy choice for cheap basic stuff..need a pair of adidas..prob not temu tho
I won't use Temu as they sell compromised poison products and their app. is malware for your phone less than a shopping experience. Some of us ARE exceptions and will stay away from Temu ok?
I am not so sure about that, but I have gotten VERY leary about getting aftermarket/3rd party versions sold as OEM on Amazon. On TEMU, I only hope that the 3rd party stuff is made OK and will not be miniature versions of the real thing.
I have not found that to be true. Aside from that, living in a rural area, I find it’s not worthwhile driving the distances often to more than one store to find items.
Temu is a horrible company that exploits workers and ignores environmental standards. I refuse to buy fast fashion anywhere or cheap crap. Those cheap prices come at a human and environmental cost.
@@dotcom4389 Temu return is pretty simple and easy as well. Most of the times because of the price of the item was so low, they just refund the money without even return the item. No one should buy anything over $25 on Temu then you are taking a risk. Most of my items are $10 and less.
I know why Temu is doing so much better. People will buy a lot more from Temu than when purchasing from Amazon. Yes it’s because it’s cheaper, but also since you have to wait the 7-11 days so most people will buy a huge haul of stuff.
I do computer service and IT work. I needed 50 laptop adapters and found them for about $7 each. This is about $1.50 cheaper each vs eBay. The ones I get from eBay always work. The 50 units I received from China were All defective, not one worked. I was told I could get a refund, or replacement, upon shipping the item back. I checked with the major delivery services that ship to China, and the best price I could find to return the items was $600 !!! That's almost double what I paid for them. So in short, I was screwed. I believe the seller one I wouldn't be able to do anything about it, so they shipped defective units.
Oh my goodness that’s horrible. I’m sorry that happened to you. I know how it feels. I’ve been screwed many times myself. Where did u buy the adapters? Amazon or TEMU?
No company name where you bought them from tells not much here. These days all fairly well established online companies has free return on defective items. It’s Little bit hard to imagine such scenarios where you are being charged for their. Unless you bought from a shady company and got taken by cheap price.
@@Tara-Oziray no company name?? Gee, I thought we were talking about the same company here so it would be obvious. Temu states they offer free returns, but Not on everything, On many things, temu is a middle man, and warranty sometimes comes down to the terms the source is providing to temu. You are right, I bought from a shady company, yes Temu is a shady company. You should look into the lawsuit that the attorney general and the state of Arkansas are bringing against them because they have found out that the tmu app installed on your phone goes to the root level of the programming for the Android or iPhone and it records and sense to them all of the information you type in on your keyboard as well as listening to the mic and operating into the camera. I know these days everybody's collecting some kind of information for marketing, but they are actually collecting keystroke information from the phone so that it can be duplicated and used to steal people's account information. It has been shown that even deleting the app from your phone does not uninstall the spyware that they've installed on the phone. The phone has to have a factory reset to clear that out. Best of luck. 👍
@@cecillec2331 the difference was that they worked... not there they were made. Temu gives you free return on the first item from any order. If you order 10 things, and they're all bad, they cover return shipping on the first item, you have to pay on the others.
Haha, i seen this coming the moment I signed up for Amazon FBA and they requested a list of my suppliers...I was like, yep...they gonna take them one day when things get tight..watch and see..😂
AMZ requires their warehouses to be stocked fully so they can charge for the storage & shipping. That's why the FBA. IMO only the Chinese are filling those warehouses. I doubt many Americans are using the warehouses. There's another fear: HIGH RETURNS. Temu allows you to get a refund on ONE item you buy, but AMZ allows you to RETURN for a refund. How they going to handle returns because 1/2 that Chinese stuff don't work.
I love Temu. You have to wash clothes you purchased. I got beautiful earrings, shoes, dresses, they also have a price reduction and get more savings. I got shoes for 4 of my friends and all broke after wearing twice. I took photo and uploaded it. Takes less than 2 weeks to receive items but I don't care. My sister bought a ceiling fan, pots, counter top ice maker, we both got ice maker.
You need to know some things are junk others are not! Yes a few items I bought from Temu were poor. However 99% of my choices were quality and great price Some things need to be seen and touched others are fine by looks and some sellers on temu are better with their product line.
@@nicolet.rainer1605 that’s your own fault. I don’t know why people think that the quality is gonna be better when it’s so much cheaper which is why you pay for it to begin with you need to be smart about what you buy from there phone cords hoodies that you’re only gonna wear for a certain event a.k.a. a concert or a holiday things like that small little things are all fine if you’re expecting to have a beautiful dress or a big electronic for 20 bucks when most of them are normally around 150 yeah prepared to be disappointed learn how to shop better not everything can be bought off of those places
AND, jeff bezos gets 2.50$ PER package sent REGARDLESS if from AMAZON itself, or froma SELLER ON amazon, if thats the case, (which it probbaly is) prime should be FREE. altho it would been if was smart and made 12 accs before the effing decisian of forced phone number.
I am in Australia and ordered some stuff from Temu and Amazon ....they all arrived on the same day ... not only that ... the same courier delivered both together.
When you buy from Temu especially clothes you are buying synthetic clothes. Polyester is the main materials in the clothing since it’s cheap and easy to manufacture. Filled with chemicals. I buy natural fabrics since my skin is so sensitive. I buy cotton fabric mostly and from time to time rayon which is softer on the skin.
I lost tons of money as an Amazon FBA selling private label. As a seller, I realized Amazon is ruthless. I am starting my skincare company and hopefully never deal with Amazon to sell them
@@Miranda3730thing is: they aren't low quality but often higher quality than than western planned obsolescence crap. It's funny that western media stopped talking about western companies engaging in planned obsolescence now that awesome China is burying them.
in Africa, it takes us on average THREE months to receive a parcel, with a 40% chance of it Never arriving at all. Sometimes it takes FIVE months, due to it being stuck somewhere in the customs warehouse. 🤔🤔 Two weeks would be a SUPERRRR FAST delivery interval.
You are absolutely right I order a ton of stuff from Amazon and very seldom have to return anything that is defective and the prices are always very competitive with the items that I would get from my store locally so I happily pay the prime membership for the quick delivery
I want my quick delivery, too. That's why I dumped Prime for Wal Mart+. Where I live, Amazon doesn't offer two or even three day delivery, so I'd get an order in 5 days, at best, whereas with Wal Mart I sometimes get same-day or next day delivery, but usually it arrives in 2 days, unless otherwise noted when I order.
I'm ranting about Prime. So I just got charged for a return. They said I returned the wrong item. Well they better send me the wrong item back otherwise I'm getting robbed! Edit: Seriously though, how's it my fault that UPS/Kohls mixed up my return?
These companies remind me of “Buy n Large” from the movie Wall•E. We are drunk on cheap disposable goods, this only creates a race to the bottom eventually leading to even lower quality to meet the demand for low prices. The customer service will follow suit.
Buy n Large. How many of us are traveling around in our recliners? Watching the world go by us on a cell phone or tablet? Watching the world through AI. The one addiction you will never over come. They produced this device to ensure this outcome. Don’t believe me? Lock your phone and go give it to someone you trust to hold for you. Make this deal with them. DO NOT GIVE THIS BACK TO ME UNLESS I AM THREATENING TO DO HARM TO YOU OR MYSELF. Now. Give them your phone and leave and tell them to haul ass in the opposite direction and do not give you your phone back for a week. One week. You will be thinking of unaliving in about-four days maybe less. This addiction will kill millions when the internet is shut down. And that is coming very soon people.
I agree. DC Politics should create higher level criteria to what imported goods are made of or come from. If that’s calculated in import fees or this means banning cheap knock-of quality products, the market would be a lot healthier and blossom a more level playing field. You can’t trust on commercial giants to protect the market and think of others and the greater good. This is where government should step in to protect consumers, local sellers, employees and all others who are negatively affacted by these race-to-the-bottom competitions. You can’t trust on Chinese production criteria either. Someday we’ll pay the price of today’s Chinese bargain. In health issues (paint, plastics), in climate change or increasing US unemployments and bankrupties. Not to mention spiraling values and principles in our humane society. Buying on Temu is not only affecting Amazon, but you’re robbing American business owners and the US economy, so your fellow Americans as well! If we all shop in China and not at our local stores, what’s left of the American dream?
Since China is classified as a 'developing country' by the world's postal service, the postage costs from China are extremely low. When is the world postal service going to do something about this?
You are both wrong, America and China both belong to what's called the postal Union. It is a treaty whereas one country will take another country's mail and delivery based on the original countries postal costs
Amazon products have been getting more n more expensive to buy. Then,on top of that, most shipping is 2 and 3 days now. I had some even change from overnight to 1 week as soon as I hit buy.
Yep, as a customer Amazon used to be the best e-commerce shopping experience by far but that is no more. That award now goes to Target. Target has a curated catalog of reputable products and brands while Amazon is the wild west when it comes to what you are buying. Target also ships just as fast without any membership fees.
@@thestanleys3235 Well, I hope Target can hire all the Amazon employees who will be out of a job once their employer chases all the business away. At least then they'll get decent bathroom breaks.
That's why I cancelled my membership. My friend and I even compared delivery dates and would get different dates for same order. Granted she lives in another city but that's not even 20 min away.
I’ve previously set up an account to sell clothing on Amazon. Amazon takes a dollar or two from every single product you sell. And to cover this expense, I will have to raise the price again. In addition, Amazon puts returning items as a priority for its customers. If customers return the goods, the fees Amazon would charge me for it with no refunds to the me. In addition, they charge you warehouse fees if you’re to put your goods in one of their numerous warehouses. Thats another expense to cover. The price of goods are no wonder so high.
As a buyer from Amazon returns and bulk pallets, there is a huge implication. I don't sell on FBA but I see a TON of abandoned FBA product in the bulk pallets. These are items FBA sellers decided they didn't want to keep paying to inventory and did not want back, or they expired or had some other issue. Amazon doesn't care. They just throw them into the bulk pallets and auction them off for pennies. If Amazon starts deeply undercutting FBA sellers, a lot of FBA sellers will throw up hands and walk away from a LOT of this merchandise, which will eventually flood the bulk pallet sales. The bottom is about to fall out of the bulk pallet sales and all that abandoned FBA stuff is going to flood the channels that resell it. Wow. A tidal wave is coming.
Honestly it's just going to be another channel through which too much product is flowing into the market from. I do a good deal of curb shopping because I live near some very expensive residential real estate and the amount of perfectly usable merchandise that is being thrown away in these neighborhoods is positively unreal! We have become a disposable society where people are encouraged to buy things they don't need and to throw away things that still have plenty of life left in them. It's all a churn and burn model that keeps shifting from one source to the next and one consumer to the next with no more goal than to get people to keep buying things so that the factories and infrastructure have a reason to justify their existence. Honestly one has to wonder where does it all end?
I’ve shopped at Temu 4 - 5 times and every time I returned more than half what I ordered. Most problems were quality issues or real things looked cheaper than the online images. After the most recent purchase, I told to myself never again to spend time and effort playing around with the trashy stuff.
It's because it's all counterfeit. They manufacture the real products for US companies in their sweat shops. They take the designs and product info make them cheaper using cheaper materials then sell them as the same thing to dummies in the US.
Thank God I am out and have no more products on Amazon, lost lots of money and lots of taxes to pay, no benefit at all, it is slave work, that is my experience, and saw this coming by the way Amazon treat sellers , like slaves, with new rules and new charges of this and that, would not recommend for anyone. It was a nightmare experience.
Yes! And their fees are so ridiculous. I could not sell my products at a good price because of all the fees I had to pay... let's not even talk about advertising and how costly that was. It was a losing battle from the get go
Same here. I lost over $35k on Amazon fba. Nightmare! My life savings gone! Don’t venture on amazon, i repeat, DO NOT DO AMAZON FBA, DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH AMAZON.
@@Anamilliodo they use fba sellers to get the suppliers , then pirate those suppliers once they see the business is good from them?? If so, that’s Sooo wrong
@@lindaschwartz5836 they do! Because they require you to input your seller's information. Also they had this program that if you paid for shipping on your own like (through the seller or FedEx or whatever) then, they wouldn't prioritize stocking your products vs. if you used their own logistics program, they kind of force your hand to give them all the details about your seller and shipping. If you think about it, they also gather everything about you and your customers: what pricing works best, what your customers prefer, what they want improved, how much you spend on advertising, and more...and before you know it (happened to me), they have their own "Amazon branded" product placed right on top of yours, that you cannot possibly compete with because this "new competitor who you also work for" knows everything about you and every move you made
I received 25 separate orders - averaging 8 to 12 items each - from temu in the last year and a half and have had to get refunds for 4 items. (no returns necessary). almost all of the orders took 9 days to either Tampa Bay or Vermont. I would say 1/3 of those items are identical to what is sold on Amazon.
😂 they don't want the return because the product they produce is cheaper than the shipping. Stop buying cheap junk from a country that's trying to destroy your economy
Third party sellers died when covid began and Chinese manufacturers started selling directly on amazon. Now Temu has stepped up the game to bring us goods cheaper. So the implication for FBA sellers is that you are screwed.
It's not just that if you have made a design like anything that you have patterned because temu they been F ing over there own people but since they had Amazon and Amazon have 50% of the online market FBA it was okay but now OOF there screwed when this pass
You know, the mass-production and cheap drop-shipping practices are the problem here. People are just losing sight of what quality and authenticity mean. My company started out selling genuine Wagyu beef from Japan (we are based in Japan BTW) and we recently started a e-commerce focusing on high end 100% authentic, ethically made in Japan kitchenware out of the frustration of not being able to find such products online as all looks the same and impersonal. When you say that building you own website for a better brand recognition you’re right. It takes time though and it is not easy to convey the messages but I strongly believe that only “slowing down a little” and not focus only on the price of a product can change the current status of the e-commerce. Am I wrong?
I believe you're right. The mass production of cheap products are attempts to undercut competition. Then when they feel they've taken out the competition, they jack up the prices because people lack choices. Now we're on a global scale race to the bottom.
Tsukushi, you are exactly correct. We do exactly the same, in very high end Cutlery, very high end- scissors and shears at the $75 - $200 price point. And we avoid the Amazon and Temu low end opening price points. We invest enormous energy in the e-commerce luxury space, and trigger emotive social psychographic content. We also create product moat separation’s with functional patents, including seven new cutlery patents. These are the hard specific actions to use to drive bespoke, concierge client revenues. Trust this helps. Tom
@@Enig_Mata thanks a lot! We are putting a lot of efforts in this project to both collect high quality items as well as support the local community here. We are a small family company, so we do everything by ourselves, from pictures to website design, from sourcing to shipping. We have just started, and it is tough, therefore comment like yours really boost our confidence. I wish you a great day ahead!
@@Tsukushi-Japan Thanks so much - hope you have a wonderful day as well. Wish you the best of luck in your business - I hope to order your products soon. :)
It just so happens that Temu is a Chinese company, so they do get low cost shipping as a benefit. Their products, on the other hand, is not worth the purchase...
Wasted thousands on Amazon FBA. Their ads eat up your budget and then if your product is generic they make an "Amazon Basics" version of it. Even if you make bundles it's a losing battle XD
I'm not on the T site, but once you are on a consistent roll with packages being delivered, you don't really notice 9 days on some things. You already have a house full of packages you haven't opened yet.
If Temu and Shien have been gaining so much traction against Amazon, of course Amazon has to address this. Craigslist lost out to Facebook by not doing anything.
You forgot to mention that teemu if it's already in the United States in a warehouse they give you even a better discount. The shower floor mat that you showed I got three different mats one for in front of the toilet bathtub and sink I paid $3.08 because it was all and no shipping. Because it was already at the warehouse wherever that warehouse is.
I while back, I found a kitchen island to sell on ebay. The manufacturer I was looking to purchase from was already listing the same kitchen island on ebay for lest the it would cost me to purchase from the manufacturer. The same manufacturers we look to purchase from are also our competitors. We have already lost out.
What do you mean by Unbranded cheap products? There are Almost all Chinese producers already have registered their brands on Amazon or in the process of registering.
Factories make "white label" items, which are the same products sold at cost to the venders. Many brands pay extra to put their logos on the pre-made items so they can sell them to customers at a markup. That's how the same item is sold under different names and different prices.
I’ve been a regular Amazon shopper for over ten years. But in the last year I discovered Temu and SHEIN. I started shopping once a month from each of them. This is how I do it. I’m particular about my shopping system. It’s always a balance between a need and a want. First I would need an item. Then I shop for it on Amazon and other US merchants. Since I only shop on Temu once a month I take my time shopping inside US first compare prices compare qualities then scrutinize all these variables with what Temu offers for a third of a price. I pick my items hold them on Temu cart while I’m still vetting the same items from US sellers. Then almost at the end of the month once I’ve exhausted my research and Temu offers what I think is the best option in all the categories then I click buy. Lately Temus shipping has been speedier. But SHEIN has faster delivery time than Temu.
You must spend hours on this process. Like a part time job. Maybe if there was a 3rd party website that had honest ratings for Temu products / sellers I would be more inclined to give them a try.
Sethmeth, it can sound like a part time job sometimes but I’m retired. So time is not an issue to me. Overseeing my spending habit has been a priority even before I retired. I have two grown boys but when they were young I taught them the principle of needs and wants. And they have developed the same habits. Two days ago I purchased a down alternative bed topper for one of our beds. Went back and forth with it on Amazon Temu. I considered all variables pros and cons between the two. Temu had many non branded toppers your brain gets dizzy sorting them out. Some almost look like the ones on Amazon picture wise and features. In the end I decided to buy one from Amazon because the price was about a few dollars more and if I found something wrong with it I could quickly pack it up and return it no questions asked. Also it’s something I’ll be using for a long time so I decided Amazon was a better seller for it. Every item can be vetted and the consumer ends up the winner. Just needs a bit of effort. And little more dollars in your pocket. 😊
You realize many of the clothing product Temu and likely Shein offers have chemicals in there that will give you Cancer unlike some products sold in the US.
Many have gotten faster again. I always feel like I want to take a shower after shopping Amazon, but I had major surgery on my left leg and running errands is a painful nightmare. I get most things with free shipping in 2 to 3 days
I was so grateful for Temu, Shein, DHGates. I could not believe that Amazon sellers are selling the same exact product for 10 times the amount and the best thing is that we get the items in one package. Caribbean people ship from a US Mailbox and the receiving shipping company on the islands charges for each piece which carries up the very high.
Its not seller fault. Seller profit is too low no matter what the price is due to amazon fees. I made sale of 750 CAD in 4 months where amzon fees was 475 CAD. I made only 40$ profit and amazon had made 475$ without doing anything.
@@sham-e-tanhaie Sorry about this is situation. However the reason why Temu and Shein work for the Caribbean region is that they consolidate the items into one package because the Island Freight forwarders charge per shipment. I guess it's okay for Canada and the US to receive multiple packages because Amazon delivers direct to the house unlike the Islands
I stopped using Amazon because it became a tamu anyway and the service really went down. Now I live in a city where everything needed for living is only a 30 minute walk from my house. Hospital, doctors, shops, work, school, cinema, theatre, art galleries, restaurants. Everything. Great.
I’ve started going back and fourth from Amazon and Temu sense I prefer getting things sooner but some things I can easily wait for too so it works out well for me.
I use both, I know Amazon could be overprice sometimes, but the convenience overweights the cost. Trying to find an specific item that otherwise I need to drive around the US to find, I just use Amazon. The ones that already use Temu, will continue doing it and the new chinese sellers on Amazon will not be any different from the ones already available like Temu. It will be just another competitor for Temu but not so much for Amazon sellers
@m9xr I have Amazon prime and it has been months since they ever mailed anything I order in 1 to 2 days. Their shipping has become a big issue especially when paying for prime to get 1 to 2 day shipping
ebay and amazon is done for sellers . the fees are now ridiculous , you can even make decent profit now hence why is good to build your own brand website it will take time but it worth it .
I was so scared to shop from Temu because of all the negative things I read about it, but I took a chance, and Temu has been great. I haven't looked back. I stopped shopping at Amazon because Amazon requires a $35 purchase to get free shipping. Temu only requires $15. Amazon reviews used to be reliable. These days one is more liable to purchase terrible products from Amazon because the bad reviews I think are being censored. When you buy something with an all 5 star ratings and then you get an obvious one star product, it is a big clue. My last purchase from Amazon was a brand new pillow for prone sleepers. It arrived with a lot of hair.I couldn't tell if they were animal or human hairs, but it was so gross. Amazon needs to place a strict standard on their sellers.
Ya i love temu… i for years saw stuff on Amazon i wanted but were too expensive then i see the same items for much cheaper on temu and everything I’ve gotten has been really good quality!
The issue here because temu been using kid factory and been selling there own designer stiff the fba not the resellers or drop shippers are F cause imagine I designs and patent it then the company I hire change 1 thing and take off logo BAM.
Do you think it's a good time to consider selling some stocks, or is it better to hold onto them for the long term? I’m considering rebalancing my $2M portfolios, So I'm curious about the best strategies to invest this year.
I guess it's important to reassess your investment strategies based on current market conditions. You should also consider a market expert to guide you.
Having the correct plan in place is crucial; my portfolio is well-suited to each season of the market and recently experienced a 100% increase from early last year. My CFP and I are working on a 7-figure target, albeit this could take until Q4 2024.
thanks you for sharing.. I must say, LUCIA appears to be well knowledgeable, just came across her consulting page and went through her resume, very impressive!
Amazon has already been doing this for a couple years now... Selling items cheap directly from China. I know because I have received the goods after waiting weeks
What is the difference between Temu USA and Temu Canada? Because TemuCA sells at inflated Canadian prices (not cheap Chinese prices): Amazon is still cheaper. TemuCA is also what seems like their fourth "Grand Opening Sale". Maybe in the US, but Temu Canada isn't what we are looking for.
First of all, thank you very much for your videos, they are very interesting and informative. I just start using TEMU and honestly I get very surprised for their prices, I bought a lawn chair from Amazon few days ago and start to regretting. I got the same lawn chair for $55 (for 2 of them) when I paid $60 for 1 in Amazon.
I miss paper catalogs with an order form page included. Sadly, paper catalogs are falling by the wayside. It's been taking a while for company web sites to be fully usable however. A fair number of them still suck. I even still refer to web shopping as mail order. Old habits die hard.
Temu and Shein also enjoy free shipping - paid for by citizens of the US and other western nations - because China is classified as an emerging nation under the Universal Postal Union treaty. So, both the products and shipping are heavily subsidized, allowing these platforms to advertise incessantly while undercutting domestic manufacturers. Block subsidized products and we would have a more fair selling environment.
I love Temu. I never thought that Amazon would ever be jealous of anybody, but apparently Amazon is terrified that Temu can overtake and undercut everything that Amazon does. Which I find hilarious. For a long time, Americans would shop at AliExpress and then resell their items for sometimes 15 to 25 times the actual worth to other Americans. Temu is brilliant that it completely undercut Amazon and all of its associates and their programs! It’s so funny. I love Temu. I will choose to shop at Temu before I ever choose to shop at Amazon. I love Amazon, but I love Temu more!
AliExpress is better than Temu as the small amount of desirable Chinese product is there and there is one product on TaoBao worth buying but that is actually made from one person and from scratch.
Amazon takes a week to process the payment and another week for shipping. Here in PR we are a USA territory and use the same delivery system as any other state. I receive things 2 weeks later when it is supposed to be in 3 days. Next year I'm gonna cancel the membership.
if Chinese vendor sell their products on AMZ, they will have the same sales tax, referral fees, import tax etc like other existing FBM sellers in the us. How can they have the low price as in Temu and Shein?? If Amz open for chinese vendor they have no profit in the long run? And tons of FBA/FBM sellers will remove their listings from AMZ as they cannot compete the price
They will get everyone over with their usual bare and switch tactics of every tech company.. the cheap fees and exposure to the global higher quality consumers will persuade them. Once enough on-boarded they wil raise fees every year
Amazon is about one thing, that is owning the market. They'll find another way to steal from the employees, they always have. That's how they make money.
All I can think about is the Jeff Bezos Evil Villian Laugh meme. 😆😆😆 China is killing it because America is such a consumerism country. Even though Americans are speaking with their wallets. People are still buying stuff. Emotions! Emotions! Emotions! You are so right, and it's probably the main reason why people in America are still buying stuff. Jeff Bezos laughing maniacally because he knows 😂😂😂 Thanks for the video.
So glad I embraced minimalism years ago. I just don't need to buy anything from Amazon unless its a movie or CD. The last thing I bought was a generic PS4 controller for $17. Works great.
In the last few years my deliveries were taking anywhere between a week to 10 days. 5 to 10 percent of the time they do deliver in 2 days. There’s a Amazon fulfillment center about 20 minutes from my house.
I heard, correct me if I’m wrong, that the clothing items are very cheaply made and they look nothing like what is pictured. I heard they were a scam company and people were trying to get refunds and there were problems. That is why I haven’t ordered. Prices are too good to be true! Please let me know if this information is true or not. Thank you 😊
My wife has always purchased my clothes for me. When she has an extended stay in hospital I decided to give it a try. Everything I purchased (23 items) fitted me and were made as good as anything I already owned. PLUS ir was a LOT less expensive. Sadly many other non-clothing items I've purchased from Temu didn't have any quality at all. One thing I've noticed recently is prices being raised at Temu. Now they've made a name for themselves I believe the honeymoon may be over. For example, I'm a keen model builder. Their Lego Technics knockoffs were an unbelievable bargain. $16 compared to Lego's $120. But two kits had parts missing, many kits come in plastic bags (no boxes) and I've been stumped by some instructions, even though the manual appears to be of decent quality. Those cheaper kits are now around $25 with the better quality kits up to $50 - $65. Better than Lego's prices, but when spending that much I don't expect missing parts.
I’ve gotten a few duds but most of the items have been fantastic. If you are not happy notify them and they refund the money and let you keep the item as long as it’s not overused. I’ve ordered many cardigans that were on Amazon for $25-$30 and I bought them for $7 on TEMU. Bought a egg chair for my porch for 1/4 the price of stores and it’s gorgeous
We don't have amazon in Switzerland, I have to order a minimum 0f 49$ in order to get delivery free in 5 to 7 days from amazon Germany which is our neighbor. They charge me 6,69 shipping and 10$ delivery in certain items. Also, they don't allow us to be premium or have a shop. The big deal about Temu isn't only the low prices, it's the free delivery in less than 10 days.
My wallet spoke 3 years ago to quit the prime service, when they rose the subscription price. Since then I look for every purchase for the "best" plattform. This was a good decision,
A bigger issue is now instead of fighting for profits on quality products, everyone is now fighting to flood the market with many lower quality products. Not that all Chinese products are lower quality but now the quality control will be diminished in order to just win this war. We spend less but get worse quality product and purchase a product 4x when we could've just bought it once.
So as a US based business and citizen, I have to pay duties and taxes, but foreigners can sell cheap junk without paying a dime? Yea that makes a lot of sense 3:53
One reason they don't pay US taxes themselves, is that they pay Chinese taxes. Just as you would pay taxes in France if you lived in France (unless you made a lot, in which case the US government might tax you on top of the French taxes)
@@Leto2ndAtreideseven if you don’t make a lot of money the US now requires tax be paid on overseas income. A US girl working at a restaurant in Europe was horrified when US agent harassed her to pay tax on her income even though it wasn’t high. It was a video here on utube.
USA citizens have to file taxes to the USA no matter where they live. It's so you can't hide money overseas (unless you pay a really good lawyer and accountant to help you). Americans living overseas, who don't want to do those filings, also discover that renouncing their citizenship is as hard as getting it (if you are not born in the USA).
So if your business happens to sell stuff to, say, France, you want to pay French taxes too? And how do we know your stuff is not junk, even if it isn’t cheap?
Hi, I’m a private label seller on Amazon, but I am struggling with Chinese sellers who are selling at such low prices. I ensure that my products are produced by high-quality suppliers, which means I pay more. This is driving me insane; there must be some restrictions on them.
One reason I don't order from companies like Temu is that the quality is poor and returns are not always easy , but with Amazon returns are easy. If you don't like the quality, you can easily send it back. How does Amazon plan to address returns on items coming directly from China?
I always do my shoppings locally I avoid the hassle of waiting from 2-10 days or more for my stuffs to arrive in America and then find out that they are damaged. No no not in my watch.
@@scamchan you can have two items that look identical but specced very different quality of lithium ion cells, fan technocology.quality of material. But these are different design, so they will have very different manufacturing cost.
@@Professional_RU-vid_Commenter No way a China seller will sell a top quality item for the same cheap price as a low quality one. So indeed all of the look alike items are indeed the same item.
NO. I researched TEMU. It’s parent company was busted for being used by Chinese Military. Nothing is free. They give such cheap prices because the reL goal is to get into your cell phone. They had to use military level searches to find how the conpany was able to get into your phone undetected. They will be able to turn off the phones of anyone that purchased from them. All at once. Temu is a child of that company. Komando Kim has had an astute website for decades, updating people on how to improve your tech life and secure your computers, etc. She and others who help people to navigate programs snd security tested Temu and said to stay the bleep away. Even the military had a hard time finding where and how they breach your phone. It’s fine if you don’t believe me. I don’t want to re-research the details, but the gyst of what I have shared is real.
