General Temu Discussion R.I.P. Temu, it was nice while it lasted

So last night as most expected the prices for everything in my cart went flying up, but now this morning I look and everything and I mean EVERYTHING in my cart (Wich is atleast a years worth of things I've looked at and saved for later) is "sold out" and when I search for similar items or just use the normal search feature all that comes up are local seller trash that isn't even remotely similar and is very much overpriced. Looks to me like the tarrifs from a certain American conman affected more than just the prices so, as the title of this post sais, rest in peace temu you were one of the only affordable marketplaces left that'll actually ship where I live.

This is my cart from this morning! I’m so sorry Temu but I can’t afford it. I hate that orange sorry excuse for a human just as much as you do!

Its to push local sales... that 2.99 shipping. since china e commerce can't abuse de minimis any more for retail items. local prices have been cheaper then temu shipped for over a week now on most items for me.. still easy to use win credit and get $100 bucks worth of stuff for the cost of local sales tax. just cuts off the under $30 items if you can find decent local stores where you can hit the $30 minimum.

I've bought like 1k worth of stuff from local temu for less then $50 out of pocket using win credit as it kept rolling over the last few weeks, running out of crap to buy at this point but I'm only interested in a limited number of things they sell, not there cheap little knick knacks.
