Here's my first hand experience using the app Temu. I kept seeing it on facebook ads each time Im browsing. Then my son mentioned it to me as well. So I clicked it for the first time and a pop up spin a wheel appeared. So I tap it and it landed on £100 gift voucher. Then, I was asked to download the app to get my £100 voucher which I did.
But, you wont be able to use or get the £100 voucher, you will need to buy items and with its corresponding amount, you'll get a discount out of your £100 voucher. So for example, I bought around £35 in total purchase and then they gave me £10 off from it and was taken out from my £100 voucher.
Also the voucher is only valid for 24 hours. So it sort of entice me to use it plus before I paid or check out, it suggested to spend another £11 pounds to get £15 off. It's like if I buy £75 worth of products, they'll give me £35 off that will again be deducted from the £100 gift voucher.
It's like having Boots coupon or Waitrose coupon where you get £5 or £10 off on certain items or with your total buy. Another way of looking at it is like you get 40% discount in your total spendings.
It's free delivery but it's like 7 days or may be 5 working days before it arrives.
In conclusion, it is still the cheapest online shopping app at the moment.
The items I bought were:
Wooden guitar neck rest - £6.08
2 pcs guitar pick holder - £0.68
Headache relief clip - £0.89 x 2 = 1.78
10 pcs luminous tree spirits - £2.88
Kitchen hanging trash rack - £0.88 x 2 = 1.76
Mvave 2.4 Ghz wireless in ear monitor - £22.13
total amount paid: £35.31 - £10 (voucher coupon) = £25.31
