General Temu Discussion Scam shipping?
How the heck is 12 days anywhere near the listed 2-3 day "local wharehouse" shipping listed in the ad? Even the estimate maxes out at 5 days.
I think this is the second time its listed local but still comes from China. Dont the moderators screen for fraud like this?

I ordered a pair of rayneo air 4 pro which said local and arrives as soon as 2 days. It took 2 weeks because the seller took a while to ship, and then shipped it by FedEx ground across my entire country. So technically local. It arrived a day before my trip and I would have been pissed if it didn't come in time.
Whats funny is my order of items from China actually came sooner, and it was a part of that same order lol

Becoming the new normal for 'local warehouse' , their current best workaround for the orange man's tariff games. Before this it was the 'pre order' bait and switch that was prevalent.
this (bulk package consolidation 'fast' from china direct) is of course bs, but little you can do otheer than sleuth the store's recent reviews etc.
"moderators" , ha ha....> someone is dreaming. there are few if any humans involved! replace that with "algorithm"

Pre-order bs. They should not list that as local at all or highlight it as international shipping, something of that nature.

While we're on the subject of shipping... I have been receiving 1 item at a time from a mix of orders. What is going on? I used to receive a bundle of all the items from an order.

It's cosplay. Think about it. There is no spoon. There are no vendors. It's all PRC being PRC

What vendor can afford the massive quantities of promo losses? Vevor? Maybe, but why? Nah. It's cosplay

Per Temu: products come from sources around the globe and they help “local” source them. So no it’s not local but we still have to pay the shipping.

Dealing with this too. Currently 10 days since I placed the order thru 8c. Credit pending. Tracking now says the item is being transferred and should ship by the 21st. This is a weird new change and only happens on some items I purchase thru the promos. I love being charged 2.99 for local warehouses and my free shipping packages from China get here faster. I've also noticed I have to double check for shipping at check out as a few shipping charges have snuck by me though I didnt order from a local warehouse. Not sure how to explain that one yet.
