I guess it's fine to buy the stickers from Temu but know that China massively subsidizes the shipping costs For other stuff, well, it's probably hit or miss

- maxglute 1y ago>massively subsidizes the shipping costs This another one of those allegations where muh PRC subsidies makes no sense, especially since we're 5 years past UPU reforms... as in PRC companies haven't had preferential postage rates for years. They're just good at logistics now... bulk ship via air / preloading local ware houses then have local shippers hand last mile to keep per item shipping low. TEMU/Ali still has pretty healthy markup, like 100-200+% vs domestic. That's basically enough for margins and offset air shipping when dealing with trinkets. Order any big item and shipping price explodes, proportional to weight. Buying straight from PRC is cheap because you're not paying multiple middle men for same item. Sometimes middlemen is worth it, i.e. Amazon where you pay 10 dollars from transhippers vs 7 dollars directly from PRC vs 20 dollars from retailer because Amazon refund policy worth it small premium.
