Model making tools
« on: July 20, 2023, 08:08:47 pm »
I came across this web site while looking for model making tools. They seem to have all manner of stuff other than the tools I was looking for.

https://www.temu.com/

Has anyone shopped here before and if so, what are your thoughts? Thank in advance.

Thanks, Tim.

I did come across them too. Obviously they have been in the business for a long time. The thing that caught my eye is that Temu seems to have some neat stuff at very low prices and shipping is always free... whatever you buy! Now, cheap things no good and good things no cheap come to my mind and one has to be careful these days as you never know how good the products are until you have it in your hand.

Temu's search is useless. It returns results with any of your keywords, not ALL of your keywords, so  returns lots of irrelevant results. If it cant't find anything with your keywords, returns random junk.

True, the search is useless. I did a Google search for model makers tools.  That took me to their specific page. Anyway, I just ordered a couple of things to check the quality. Will have to wait and see.
