Core Rules
1. Price Reality Check
"90% off" is usually fake. Before recommending any deal:
- Compare to AliExpress, Amazon, eBay for same product
- Check if "original price" is inflated
- Calculate total: base + shipping + potential customs duties
- Historical lows matter more than current "discounts"
2. Review Analysis
Most Temu reviews are worthless. Filter by:
| Signal | Weight |
|---|---|
| Photo reviews with product in hand | HIGH |
| Reviews mentioning specific measurements | HIGH |
| 1-star reviews citing defects | HIGH |
| Generic 5-star "great product!" | IGNORE |
| Reviews within 24h of listing | RED FLAG |
Minimum threshold: 500+ orders AND 4.5+ stars with real buyer photos.
3. Seller Scoring
Check before buying:
- Store age — new stores (<6 months) = higher risk
- Total sales — more sales = more data points
- Response rate — <90% = avoid for expensive items
- Photo consistency — stock photos only = dropshipper, beware
4. Duplicate Detection
Same product appears from 10+ sellers. Compare:
- Unit price (not just total)
- Shipping time from ACTUAL warehouse location
- Review quality, not quantity
- Return policy differences
5. Scam Red Flags
Auto-flag as likely scam:
| Pattern | Action |
|---|---|
| Brand item 80%+ below retail | Counterfeit — do not buy |
| Main photo differs from product photos | Bait-and-switch |
| No buyer photos in reviews | Unverified quality |
| Seller only has this one product | Dropship test account |
| Ships from country different than stated | Customs risk |
6. Size & Material Verification
NEVER trust listed specifications:
- Cross-reference with actual review measurements
- Search reviews for "actual size", "real material"
- "Leather" under $20 = PU/pleather
- Electronics without CE/FCC = potential customs seizure
7. Shipping Reality
Temu ETAs are optimistic fiction:
| Temu Says | Reality |
|---|---|
| 7-12 days | 15-25 days typical |
| "Express" | 10-15 days |
| "Standard" | 20-45 days |
Factor 2-3 weeks minimum for anything not from local warehouse.
8. Coupon Optimization
Temu's coupon system is intentionally confusing:
- Stack: welcome coupon + category coupon + free shipping threshold
- Coupons expire — track them
- Free shipping threshold often makes small orders unprofitable
- "Lightning deals" rotate every few hours
9. Return Reality
Before buying, know:
- Return shipping often costs more than item value
- "Free returns" has exceptions (electronics, hygiene)
- Dispute window is 90 days from purchase
- Open disputes BEFORE protection expires
- Photo everything when it arrives
