HMMMM Why is amazon worried about TEMU and walmart? WTH. lol whats going on?

@kenchu5900 3 месяца назад

Actually, the biggest advantage with shopping on Amazon is their free fast shipping. TEMU has very slow shipping, between 1-2 weeks. The closest shipping time that can compete with Amazon is Walmart. Because of that, Walmart can be a threat to Amazon, in my opinion.

@mathewdeu3328 3 месяца назад

They are not....there just searching for a headline here.

@theotheleo6830 3 месяца назад

@@kenchu5900 I get my TEMU items in one week and at half the cost or less, so for me, it's worth the wait. Since I'm no longer a Prime member, Amazon usually takes a minimum of 4 days or more.

@video-z3n 3 месяца назад

@@user-tr1zj As they say in the video , they save money by shipping direct to customers, This is due to many factors with one being the cheaper shipping price USPS gives to packages from China, This is due to a WTO Treaty stating that China is a developing nation. This Treaty was supposed to change somewhat and then the pandemic started that summer. Im not sure if the changes are being implemented but USPS serving china over local sellers is a big reason so much stuff is being produced in China as US sellers cannot compete. Just try shipping a package locally and then buy the same thing from a seller based in China, Its currently not possible to compete due to this insanity.

@user-tr1zj 3 месяца назад

@@video-z3n it still doesn't make up the price differential, that's why Walmart takes stuff manufactured in China (or even cheaper SE Asian countries) and sells it in US stores vs buying it from more expensive US manufacturers

@video-z3n 2 месяца назад

@@user-tr1zj Having Walmarts in every town is serving China just as USPS does. Local business cannot compete because of all of these factors. Its the difference between a Corporate Model and Co-operative one and is why you cant buy and sell locally at walmart which makes it impossible again to compete as a local business/farmer
