Then you didn't watch the video. Temu and Shein were using a loophole for small-order mail items to avoid taxes. That's how Temu could offer a who Bluetooth speaker for $3. China also got a discount on shipping as a "developing country," which it obviously isn't in many aspect. Those loopholes are now closed.
They had the opportunity to profit while supplying decent goods and making a good rep for themselves but instead they chose to sell the lowest quality trash to grift some buck for a few years. Fuck them.

If the tariffs are ever reduced, Temu should send a tariff drop alert to all their patrons.
