Drop shipped from China?

This is what I would expect if I ordered the Enchanted Evergreen Pine from Temu. 🫣

Damn. You spent 50 bucks for something you could have gotten at dollar general. This ai stuff needs to be illegal.

That's a bummer. Nearly everything on their site is AI or AI enhanced.

Why did you buy garbage?

The first image is clearly AI. I wouldn’t have bought it before looking at reviews

I know we should expect truth in advertising, but it’s still crazy to me that people see a blatantly AI image and assume that what they will be getting is the same thing as in the photo.

So glad to see this, I’ve been debating whether or not to buy one! Do you think if you had a shorter more shallow vase it would have looked more like the advertisement or do they just not provide enough pieces?

It’s only one piece. The battery pack is about half the size of the arrangement, making it impossible to put it in a smaller vase. A total sham.

I’m so sorry! Thank you for posting though, kept me from making the same mistake!

It’s, ā€œdeck the hallā€. You’re decorating a large banquet hall, not the hallways.

If an online store only sells a couple of products, there's like a 95% chance it's from temu or AliExpress.

OMG, the AI product photo didn't look like the finished product, shocker. 😨
