Timmah!

Priced it again, same price difference. 
 

Temu, according to my brother is the new Ali Express. Another Chinese mail order trying to break into and compete with Amazon and Ali Express. My brother has used them and has returned items with no issue. His refund has been applied to his card as soon as the post office scanned his shipping label.
As clarification my brother just retired from a company he was partners with for over 40 years. Most everything they imported was manufactured in CHINA. His business was 90% supported by Chinese manufacturing. None of his stock is made in North America or Europe. He traveled to China many times. He used to buy containers of stock every few months. He is used to purchasing with China and has never had an issue. He is now retired.

Not familiar with Temu.
On AliExpress, you're buying directly from the manufacturer, instead of a 3rd party like Amazon or Walmart. 

A couple years ago, I bought a Ruixin Pro knife sharpening system on AliExpress for $19.99.
Cheapest I found it on Amazon was $39.99.
Some vendors had the manufacturer put their name on it & were selling them for $120!
 

My brother has used them for years. He has always been happy. He has returned items and has never had an issue. As @Timmah! stated always buy from high rated suppliers. My brother lives in Canada, no delivery problems just a bit longer shipping times. On some items. Most everything naturally is from CHINA. Amazon is about the same most things from China being sold by a third party putting their MARKUP. I use PAYPAL. 

Gaming is a 60 Billion a year industry. 
Nobody's coming after gamers.
They're going after terrorists who use gaming platforms for communication. 

Never had a problem.
Just buy from sellers with good reputation & high sales count.
When you buy on AliExpress, you're buying from the actual manufacturers...the same ones that Amazon & Walmart buy from & then markup the price.
You're just saving money cutting out the middleman. 
The larger Chinese manufacturers actually have warehouses in the U.S., so you get the product in the same time frame as Amazon, etc.
Just don't go looking for unbelievable deals that are obviously knockoffs...
You know, like $5 Air Jordans or something. 
 

This all happened after Merlin banned Col Riley and Jack Teixeira  for the ACE mod server. There were a bunch of them bunny hoping around like they were in a low gravity room. Riley got so hot headed that no admin would stop them and rage quit. Later he got back on Discord and started mouthing of state secret saying the Col ordered him to do so. As this went on a few of the other bunny hoppers got on discord and egged Tiexiere on knowing it would get him in trouble. When the General found all this out he decided because he injoys a game or 2 as well and truly hates bunny hopper. He decided to throw the book at all of them.  All this behind the scene crap has to stop before it gets out of hand Rugger later said at a Homeland Security meeting via zoom.  Our adims are not to blame they do a some what decent job some times. When questione why they can not do a better job Rugger muttered something about cheap booze and free canadian electric lettuce. 
 Stay tuned for more details as Fox Network releases the pirated minutes of the behind teh scene meetings.

Y'all ever use them?
I have an Amazon Prime membership, but I've been using AliExpress for 5 years & always check first to see if they have the item in stock.
Many times they have the same item & you can save 50%.

Take care of yourself, brother. 
I can relate in that, although I miss my mom, it was a relief to see her released from her long-declining health.
RIP moms.

Hello Switch off, I am the administrator who banned you. The reason I did it is that I was requested by a mod to observe different players who lie down underwater to shoot others, when I joined the server there were several of them and you were between them.  I warned everyone not to do it. I specifically asked them to stop doing that and everyone stopped doing it except you, you continued to be under the pier shooting at people who couldn't see you. That's illegal for us, I asked you to get out of that area and you didn't respond, I had to kick you off the server and it happened again. You play with us for a long time and know it is considered a glitch when you go underwater. Added to this is that you have been reported on another occasion for going under a map and shooting people, also considered illegal. I have given you a temp ban for 4 days, then you will be available to play again on the servers.
I'm sorry to do this because I enjoy playing with you; please pay attention to what you do and respect the rules of the game and the clan.
 
Bonjour Switch Off, je suis l'administrateur qui vous a banni. La raison pour laquelle je l'ai fait c'est qu'un mod m'a demandé d'observer différents joueurs qui se couchent sous l'eau pour tirer sur les autres, quand j'ai rejoint le serveur il y en avait plusieurs et vous étiez entre eux. J'ai prévenu tout le monde de ne pas le faire. Je leur ai spécifiquement demandé d'arrêter de faire ça et tout le monde a arrêté de le faire sauf vous, vous avez continué à être sous la jetée en train de tirer sur des gens qui ne pouvaient pas vous voir. C'est illégal pour nous, je vous ai demandé de quitter cette zone et vous n'avez pas répondu, j'ai dû vous expulser du serveur et cela s'est reproduit. Vous jouez avec nous depuis longtemps et savez que c'est considéré comme un problème lorsque vous allez sous l'eau. À cela s’ajoute le fait que vous avez été dénoncé à une autre occasion pour avoir passé sous une carte et tiré sur des personnes, ce qui est également considéré comme illégal. Je vous ai accordé une interdiction temporaire de 4 jours, vous serez ensuite disponible pour jouer à nouveau sur les serveurs.
Je suis désolé de faire ça parce que j'aime jouer avec toi ; merci de faire attention à ce que vous faites et de respecter les règles du jeu et du clan.

Nice post.
And WHAT A CUTE BABY!!!

Very nice.
AND showed a slice pic.
W00T!

You think IT is stressful...
A computer won't piss, spit, puke, or bleed on you.
Nor will it try biting or punching you.

If you find IT stressfull, good luck wiht being in healthcare. I've spent 16 years as a psychiatric nurse, mostly in forensic psychiatry and I made the decision to drop healthcare and starting a complete different job tomorrow. I always admired the coworkers who spent 20, 30, 40+ years in healthcare and saw it as their calling. Wish you the same feeling they had
