70% Alcohol pads, microfibre cloths, and general car care things. Can pick up a 1ltr bottle of Thioglycolic acid (under the name of "car wheel iron cleaner" which is the main ingredient used in expensive wheel and mag cleaners we have in NZ, at a fraction of the price. I'd highly recommend it if your car rims build up brake dust quick
Also TCG related stuff like binders, sleeves and frames
tcg ?
Trading Card Games (username checks out haha)
Any links to the wheel cleaner. Had trouble finding it 😕
cant share the link on here, but i've messaged you
Can you PM me too? Cheers!
I'm interested in this too. Can you PM the link?
Open that link in browser and remove everything after .html and paste it here. That should work.
@Tmurder91: "AL07736" - Search that up on temu, it's the one I use :) the 500ml and 1ltr variant doesnt seem to be there anymore, but i'm about 3 months into my 1ltr bottle and its only 3/4ths full
@P0KEMON: Legend - thanks mate.
Link without referral junk for anyone else who wants it
https://www.temu.com/nz/1pc-car-iron-remover-spray-multi-pur…@kiwiicheapies: Another price reduction for this, It's now $4.
How does price adjustment work though?
Had bought it for $7.88,
1st price adjustment got me $1.84 back.
2nd price adjustment only got me $0.89 back.Final current price I paid is $5.15 after 2 adjustment. But the price showing currently is $4
Edit: nvm. Forgot to deduct tax.
@ace310: Their price promise is based on the actual amount you paid rather than the original price. Say if you placed an order with a 20% off code, you'd get less refund or even nothing from the price promise.
Just a heads up to anyone who bought the mag cleaners, the brake dust isn't going to magically go away once you spray it on. Once you see the solution react to the brake dust (it'll turn purple/red) let it sit for 1-2 minutes and then scrub everything away whilst having running water on the wheels :)
Brushes, long thin ones, busher long ones.
Tree covers, dwarf.
Air frier mat things.
Electric nail clipper (human) seriously, its so good vs clipping nails.
Clips (car floor mat), outside garden, general automotive clips.
Pet urine light (the better wave length ones, not the generic ones)Would avoid anything that "sticks" to wall, eg broom clips etc.
Which nail clipper you got? There are so many of them.

Free deliveryI got it as a free gift though
How did you manage to get a free gift I may ask? I tried those absurd 'games' a few times and those are borderline scams it feels like hah
@James Bishop: Mrs got it. I feel same as you, even clicking on a link for a product takes me to an unskippable doubke spin of the wheel of pain!
She has more patience for that sht
As someone who has never used Temu but gets a lot of stuff from AliExpress, can I ask what the advantages are of getting stuff from Temu?
Free shipping and delivery guarantees($5 credit if not delivered by the date specified, 15-30 day windows for delivery then a full refund or resending goods) and free return on first faulty item for each order at their cost. Airmailed and to your door within 1-2 weeks generally. ~75% of orders arrive <13 days.
Yes the warranty from temu is the best. For Ali, I have to wait like 4 weeks just for a result, because seller keeps making up excuses.
Faster and free shipping.
But less range.
I'm finding both sites equally unbelievable getting products. Latest purchase was for a diakin heatpump remote from Ali for 1.83c shipped. Works 100%, buttons little stiff only issue. The equivalent from The Heat Pump people would have set me back $147.
I was pleasantly surprised by how AliExpress is now copying what Temu is doing, buy 3 items and get free shipping, I can spend like $10 or less and get free shipping. Many items are also much cheaper when they appear in that special page. Was considering start using Temu…haha
Mens Belts - the "Casual Woven Belt" of the type that the buckle pin pokes through the nylon woven belt. Right now they're about $6. In the shops the price varies but hovers around high $30's - 40.
Excellent Quality Womens/Mens sports sox
Fitbit watch straps - far cheaper than even Amazon
Sunhats - great quality and much cheaper than in the shops
Phone cases.
I certainly like the prices and am fairly sure that many local suppliers/retailers buy from the same sources probably lol.
While I like to support local I have to ensure my Dollar goes as far as it can and I'm not into spending 8 times the Temu price whilst buying locally. Not normally anyway.*****I DON'T reccomend buying batteries. I got a pack of 10,( I think it was), CR2032's (for my car key fobs etc), and it cost only about $1.20 but they don't last very long. Locally they're STUPID prices such as $4.50 EACH and that really annoys me but I need batteries that last so I have to bite the bullet on that occasionally.
If you're after the brand name batteries you can get a Panasonic CR2032 twin pack for $3.90 using the CSCBG Premium account membership at Noels.
Free delivery today as well.

Certainly not as cheap as Temu but $1.95 each is a lot better than $4.50.Mitre10 do packs of 4 lithium 2032 batteries for $6
Don't know where you saw that but that's wwwaayyy different to what I last saw in there:

@Avantime: Can you recommend a good quality brand? The ones I purchased from $2 shops are really bad quality. This one pack I chose in the shop, the cells were leaking. Picked up another pack and it had mould growing around some cells.
@Avantime: I personally don't really need these often, just for the car key fobs. Haven't had good experiences either with the super cheap ones from the $2 store
Get LIR2032 batteries instead. They are rechargeable.
My (layman's) understanding is that there's a slight voltage difference between CR2032 and LIR2032 batteries that could cause an issue in some applications, and that you'll get significantly shorter life out of them.
Does it need a special charger? Doesn't really seem worth it for me, only really replace the car key ones once or twice a year.
Chargers are about $5 from Temu/Ali and the batteries themselves are about twice the cost of regular CR variants. It pays for itself within 3 battery replacements.
I've had some good button battery from aliexpress. look for a Chinese brand that is established a a good Chinese battery brand. if you buy English brand then it is a fake.
Was considering some OralB toothbrush replacement heads - anyone else using them? any good? not made of dodgy chemicals?
The ones on Aliexpress are good, I assume ones on Temu are much the same.
fishing rod tip lights, fish bite alarms, ball floats and glow in the dark beads - all arrived and been good quality
Remote for Samsung TV, $2.87 shipped.
https://www.temu.com/nz/tv-remote-control-for-samsung-bn59-0…
Trouble is, you always buy a replacement remote when the original dies suddenly. And you need one asap and cannot wait a week or 2.
For $2.87, buy one now just in case
Funny thing is, it was my Samsung remote that died after 3 years. Meanwhile my 25 yr old Sony one is still working.
damn that look shockingly close to the generic remotes i've seen at retailers under one for all brand
Id just like to say, thanks to this thread I have ordered 20x "oral b" toothbrush heads, 4x 79% merino socks, 8x scrunchies, 1x tweezers & some light up LED scrunchies for the nieces, grand total of $25 with free shipping. Thats wild!!! Less than a 3 pack of oral b heads combined. Probably sepnt way more time than I shouldve scrolling through the millions of things on there but WOW.
Those third party oral b brushes can be a hit or miss
The reviews were good but it is definitely a gamble! Fingers crossed 🤞
Pretty niche but sewing supplies are amazing on Temu. Spotlight is such a rip off. I've bought the quilting clips (no more pins), bias binding folding tools, sew in labels for clothes, and a few packs of iron on decals (which I always sew on anyway). The decals are maybe $8 ea at Spotlight but you can get a pack of ten for about that price.
Ordered brake cleaner, got sent car leather and plastic conditioner…
At least it was refunded within a day. Should I try ordering it again?
Haha order it again if you can be bothered waiting I guess.
I've placed a few temu orders, and they've never actually gotten an order wrong, i.e. forgot an item or completely wrong item like in your base.
Try again for another mystery item lol.
Bought some sticky leather patches for an old chair. Feels and looks brand new
Mostly self care items such as floss picks, oral b toothbrush heads, combs etc.
