@Ricardus I've bought some stuff from them. It's mostly flimsy, but it works. No complaints.

@Professor_Stevens OK. I bought a cheap case for my small O-Scope that I got last month.

@Ricardus My original worry was that they'd do something sketchy with my credit card info. So I bought a prepaid debit card to use as a test. No problems. They have a long delivery time, but provide tracking info.I've bought Arduinos, a kitchen laser thermometer, a dozen multimeters, etc. It all works. It's just fragile, probably QA rejects, or both. Bought a little freezer, even. Works fine. I tell people Temu is okay to deal with, just don't expect milspec gear.

@Professor_Stevens yeah I have an online bank account that I only put money in when I'm doing a purchase like this. I opened it because their debit card is open and more countries than any other bank and sometimes I need to buy electronics parts from weird places, especially if I'm building something vintage and it's hard to source something.
