Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue...

​

I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome

I took some comfort there, la-la-la-la-la-la-la"

​

I'm a pretty hardcore comparison shopper, I spent a a small fortune on AliExpress back in the day, but I've learned over the years how to be choosey and spot the quality stuff \*most of the time\*.

​

​

I mostly deal with DIY materials and on occasion, If the materials look good in the offer, I'll take a risk. I have cornered a few really good vendors over time, but I'm mostly interested in medium to high end camping gear.

​

Of course veterans of Temu understand that when you find that really good vendor, they have a select amount of really high quality stuff and yet a lot of lesser quality stuff, but you're trying to get that free shipping from the vendor doing the most shopping you possibly can from just the one vendor.

​

​

For mostly outdoors and DIY stuff have you guys found any favorite vendors that you go back to again and again in order to get that sweet free shipping?

​

​

​

Typically I'll start by searching for a brand name that I know is decent quality and finding a vendor that carries a reasonable sample of that stuff.

​

​

​

Do you guys have vendors or particular brands that help you sort out good quality items on Temu from experience?
