Butch Posted October 18, 2024 Posted October 18, 2024 Downloaded the app, ordered some stuff and paid via paypal. All too easy. I paid £11.06 total inc shipping for: 200 copper washers of various sizes 500 Cable ties of various sizes (kind of daft because I get them from work for free) 200 Trim clips for cars of various sizes. The washers will come in handy anyway, I'm forever searching for them. The cable ties I just thought why not, and the Trim clips are always useful as they're standardised across a lot of cars nowadays and I'm helping my mate restore a 1989 Ford Transit and also a 2002 Subaru Impreza, so they'll probably help somewhere down the road. There's an inordinate amount of stuff on there though.
Nickrock Posted October 18, 2024 Posted October 18, 2024 I have thought about joining temple ( just ordered a pile of stuff from Ali express) don't have Amazon here in nz 1
Aqualung Posted October 18, 2024 Posted October 18, 2024 In the past I've looked at Temu and downloaded their App. Some of the clothing and footwear look great but I'm sceptical about the quality.
Lirchenfeld Posted October 18, 2024 Posted October 18, 2024 Have used Wish in the past. Mostly for buying outfits for the poor half naked ladies of Pattaya. It was way cheaper having it shipped to me in Europe from China, and then me bringing it to Thailand, than buying it off vendors in Thailand. 1 1

Copper washers can be substituted as sump plug washers on a vehicle if there's no steel crush washers available, it basically saves me either ordering specifics or hunting around in the hope I've got one, somewhere. I doubt I'll do another 200 oil changes in my lifetime, but they're also handy for other things because they are also used for some hose attachments on some brake systems. It's just me being lazy to be honest lol. I am a bit reluctant to try out the tools they have for sale though. While a full set of wrenches look tempting at $8, I reckon they're probably made of chocolate. today I'll search for an adequate present for @Nightcrawler for Christmas, as he apparently wore out the double ended dildo I gave him last year. 1 1

By the way, slightly off topic, I bumped into your regular partner in Pattaya. He was asking me when you are returning and seemed very emotional. He ask me to take this photo to remind you of his beauty and loyalty to you. I hope you don't mind me sharing ... 1 11

When I ended my lengthy career with the phone company I took enough cable ties to last me a lifetime - our stores department would throw a big bag of them into every job we pulled, no matter how big or small the job, and we always had way more than we needed. 1
boydeste Posted October 19, 2024 Posted October 19, 2024 I looked at Temu yesterday for some fishing tackle. Some of the prices seem too good to be true, also I noticed there was a minimum order of 10 ponds for new members and 15 pounds there after. Lots of the smaller items I was interested in were only a few pounds, so would have to buy something I didn't need to spend enough! 2

Lol The last time I changed a set of plugs was in the early 90's. I'm a lazy cnut. If @Nightcrawleris truly your good friend.... I'd suggest an oversized enema bag with a large diameter power hose. Of course, the gift would be meaningless without including a case of Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill wine. @Derek Dangleberriesmay be able to provide some tips on where you can order that. 1

Butch Posted October 26, 2024 Author Posted October 26, 2024 (edited) Well, my stuff arrived today. The copper washers are all far too small for anything automotive connected, even brake unions, so I've filed them in my drawer of stuff I keep but never use. The Trim clips are excellent, all different sizes and all fit and measure the size they claim to be. I've already used about 12 filling in various missing bits on my own cars. Cable ties, well the wife can't get out of them so they've passed my QC. They're equally good as the ones I used to purloin from work. Next on my useless tat list is more paracord, some knife sharpening stones of varying degrees of abrasion, some neomy moednym niymedi small strong magnets in a pack of 100, which if nothing else, will come in handy for nothing else. Edited October 26, 2024 by Butch 3
forcebwithu Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 ^^^ I have a roll of paracord that has come in handy at times. Problem is here the stuff loses its elasticity due to heat and humidity after a couple of years, so the stored roll becomes useless. 1

Problem is here the stuff loses its elasticity due to heat and humidity after a couple of years, so the stored roll becomes useless. Paracord is mega handy. I wouldn't be without at least 30m of it nearby. I know what you mean re losing it's elasticity, I had some literally rot into pieces after being left in a wet and mouldy environment. 1
Butch Posted November 12, 2024 Author Posted November 12, 2024 My Tat arrived the other day, 50 small magnets (not 100 as I quoted) - Very powerful but I've no use for them, apart from nefarious ones. 100M of Black paracord on a small spool. - Fairly good quality, ideal for my use which is bundling up foliage. Car trim removal kit which is basically some plastic slides which you place under a trim clip and prise it off. - shockingly poor quality , brittle and wouldn't even lever up my foreskin, let alone a bit of trim. Strong, single sided mesh tape. - less than a quarter of the price in the local hardware shop, exactly the same manufacturer and is absolutely brilliant. Ideal for immobilising victims packing boxes for freight. All for £15.76 due to TEMU rules on total cost needing to be over £15 for shipping purposes. 1 1
Glasseye Posted November 15, 2024 Posted November 15, 2024 Still waiting for my first TEMU delivery. It has been over 10 days since I placed the order. Supposed to come on Sunday. I'm glad I didn't order toilet paper, I'd be wiping my arse with mi hand. 2
Glasseye Posted November 15, 2024 Posted November 15, 2024 First TEMU order just arrived. 2 shirts, a luggage strap (so my cheap roller bag doesn't bust open in the middle of the terminal), a nose trimmer (even included a free battery, works brilliantly), and a new fag bag. Didn't cost squat for all of it. 2 1

Didn't cost squat for all of it. Welcome to the utopian paradise that is cheap tat from Temu. The nose hair trimmer seems a good idea, I may very well add that to my next list. I'd also be interested to know the quality and cut of the shirts because I'm in need of some. Wifey got a dress from Shien last week, she wanted a size 6 but I couldn't work out a delicate and diplomatic way of telling her there's no way on Earth she'll fit into a 6, so I eventually settled on persuading her that shien sizes are far too small and an 8 might be better, as it's equivalent to a UK High Street 6. She still ordered the 6 and I've been living off microwave meals all week.
