TEMU: Flimsy, Cheap Products from China

Image
I cannot say enough negative things about the cheap junk  I have received from TEMU or their relentless marketing of flimsy merchandise, topped only by their poor customer service. Don’t waste your time and money. Buy American. #Temu #TemuFail #BadBusiness #CheapJunk   I like a good bargain as much as the next person, so I will admit to being enticed by their relentless and misleading marketing. In fact, I WANTED to believe that I could get nice stuff at a low price so much that I tried ordering from them more than once. Each time, I was sadly disappointed. I order a lapis lazuli stone that looked like an iridescent blue in the photos. The stone I got was an ugly grey.  I tried a couple of clothing items that were cheap polyester and fit poorly. I ordered a doll that was much uglier, even misshapen, than the promo photos showed. In fact, the only item I got from TEMU that was as nice in person as the photo showed was a Donald Trump Troll doll Recently, I ordered an outdoor storage

USPS Fail: Bellevue Post Office Bait & Switch: a Review

Image
Last week, I went to the Bellevue Post Office in Nashville, TN. It had been a long time since I had done business there due to the numerous times they have dropped the ball in the past (see links below). However, I needed to mail a package and hopefully start a business back up. My hope was that in the few years since I last visited, their service had improved. I had to get a sealed package measured and weighed, so I could let a new customer know how much postage would be. When I got his check a few days later, I returned to the same Bellevue PO with the same package and the same contents and was ready to pay $26.25 for Ground.  This time, a rude man waited on me. He measured and weighed the package and gave me the same price, but said I would have to pay more because I had used a priority label.  I asked him to hand back the package and said I would return without the priority label. However, when I returned, the same rude man measured and weighed my package told me it would cost $63.
