Can You Dropship From Temu?

people on Tick Tock seem to love the new Amazon competitor tinu so I decided I had to check this out for myself and see if it's possible to drop ship from TiVo

if you're not familiar with Teemu it's a website that's kind of like a mashup between Amazon and AliExpress in fact if you look at the items that are for sale here you'll see it looks very similar to AliExpress there's just a ton of different products here in different categories and niches and just like AliExpress the items here are really cheap and some of them are very unique and kind of funky as well so for instance we have this charger for your phone that's also like an alarm clock and it glows it looks pretty cool I mean we're also going to find something like this we also have these smart sunglasses for 35 dollars where you can actually make phone calls off of them these shoes for 10 bucks you know you're never gonna find shoes cheaper than that we have this funky rug and even weird stuff like this whatever the heck this is right off the bat this gets me really excited about the idea of Drop Shipping from temu drop shippers like myself we're always looking for lower prices on things so we can either list their items for less and sell more of them or just make more money on each sale and with so many unique items on Teemu there are plenty of things we can drop ship without running into a lot of competition but I am only cautiously optimistic here because Teemu it does remind me a lot of AliExpress and when I've used AliExpress for Drop Shipping in the past I ran into a few issues with customer service and shipping times so I'm a little bit skeptical here so I think the smartest thing to do for me at this point would be to actually order some stuff from timu have it delivered to my own house and see how long the shipping time is so

I went ahead and ordered three things from timu the first was this controller for my Nintendo switch I got this paw cleaner for my dog says they're always going outside getting muddy and we try to clean off their paws when they come in their house it's such a pain so this was cool I've seen this in a lot of Instagram ads so I wanted to check it out because it is very popular for drop shippers and then this bag resealer that I've also seen a bunch of ads for as well the total cost for me was 22. 28 with free shipping and as I've learned Teemo actually offers free shipping on all of the their orders you don't even need to meet an order minimum or have a subscription like you do with Amazon Prime so already team is looking pretty good

good well 10 days later and my package from temu has finally arrived now before we get into the actual package I wanted to share something really interesting with you about the tracking number and the tracking information so as I understand it items from teamu are shipped here from China the same way they are from like AliExpress and when you order something from AliExpress you usually get a tracking number that shows that the item is coming from China so I was pretty surprised when the tracking number I got from temu started in the United States you can see that right here the first thing that pops up is United States and then Los Angeles my guess here is that they ship everything Teemu does everything over from China themselves and then put a new shipping label on it when it gets to Los Angeles and that's a tracking number that's sent to the customer well that's great because customers won't be able to tell that the item came from China it does present a bigger problem you see I ordered these items on March 14th I was sent a tracking number four days later but there were no updates on that tracking number until eight days after my order was placed that means for eight entire days I had no idea where my package was since I knew I was ordering from China I kind of expected that but if you order this from eBay or Shopify or Amazon you'd probably be sending the seller a message complaining that your item hasn't actually shipped out yet what's more as soon as I got this

package I could tell without a doubt that it came from timu I mean just look at it the good news though is that I've drop shipped a lot of products from different websites like Amazon Walmart Home Depot Wayfair and I've done it onto websites like eBay and Amazon most of those items do arrive to customers in a branded box but very very few customers have ever complained about it I think that most people just see their name on the shipping label they rip open the package and they're just really happy that they got what they actually ordered then again those items aren't showing up in bright orange packaging if you know what Teemu is this is going to be a little obvious on the other hand though I don't think most people I'm willing to bet most people haven't heard of Teemu yet so this packaging it might not be probably isn't as bad for drop shippers as it initially appears now what I can say without a doubt is awesome about this and the way it arrived is that everything I ordered came in one package and that surprised me because I actually ordered all these items from three different sellers on Teemo but as it turns out even if you buy multiple items from different Sellers as long as you order them all at once they'll come in one package that's great for Drop Shipping most other suppliers they don't do that with other suppliers I've had buyers get confused after they ordered two different items from me but one of them arrived before the other they usually message me to ask where the other item is or sometimes worst case scenario they just open up a return case that's not going to happen with tmu because everything's going to arrive together so let's actually open up this package now and take a look at what it looks like on the inside

so the first thing I'm noticing after opening this up is that there is there's no invoice in here at all nothing in here some suppliers like Lowe's they actually include the price you paid inside the package others Like Home Depot include some information but there's no price on it this has nothing in it at all I'm not sure if that was a mistake or not though because I did read from other people on Reddit who have reported that Teemu does include invoices in their package but I didn't get one in here now as far as the products themselves I'm noticing that these boxes that they came in the product boxes are pretty beat up this one just has like a ton of dents in it this one is a little bit ripped over here this one's pretty beat up as well and that's kind of to be expected because it arrived in a bag not in a box but overall that doesn't matter so much as long as the items themselves are protected so let's look at the first one right here I got this Paul washing cup for your dog this is one I've seen all over Reddit and stuff like that sorry all over like Tick Tock a bunch of ads for this and you know it's just kind of like a cheap plastic thing but you know I guess pretty good quality for what it is I'll have to test it out later with my dogs I don't know for a couple bucks I guess it's not too bad it's kind of what you expect for a couple bucks um definitely feels solid so I'm kind of just getting an idea of what the quality is like for the items on Teemu and this one seems okay seems pretty good this one was the one that used to seal bags off to charge this up and test it but it looks legit I mean this is the information on it a little user manual so I mean this is exactly kind of what you expect with it nothing to elaborate so happy with that and then I'll check out the controller later but it looks pretty good as well so overall I'll say the quality is like exactly what you expect for the price you know maybe a little bit better I've ordered some stuff from these websites before similar websites and they arrived in their complete junk they don't work at all and these ones at least seem durable and like they're actually going to work and do what they're supposed to do but like I said we'll test out the controller later because that's the one that is most prone to not working different Electronics like this so if this one works then you know we're in good shape and everything from team is probably good quality as well the final thing we

need to look into is whether Drop Shipping from temu is even allowed by timu so I went right to their website for this and they do have some information about Drop Shipping on there but it's not entirely clear to me what their stance is on this so it says does tmu support Drop Shipping no we do not support Drop Shipping on our platform so that says to me that you can't sell products on Teemu that you then drop ship to the customers who actually purchase from you on Teemu nowhere on here does it say that you're not allowed to drop ship from Teemu but it does say we recommend purchasing directly through our platform so it's a little vague to me but generally my rule of thumb is that if it's not clearly against the rules I try it and quite honestly even if it is against the rules I'd still try it because many times those rules aren't enforced or they're pretty easy to get around to be honest then again I did find this other post on Reddit from someone who claimed they did try Drop Shipping from temu and after a while they were sent a message telling them that their order had been canceled and the reason for it was because they were suspected of Drop Shipping so maybe it's not a great idea to drop ship from temu and maybe for now I'll just stick to Walmart and Amazon

all right let's try out this controller it has admittedly been a long time since I played this game obviously the control works but let's see um how well I do with it given that I haven't played this game probably a year and before that probably been a couple years going up against Samus all right there we go oh man so this control is obviously working fine the rumble on is quite aggressive it feels a little cheap actually compared to like this the ones you actually get with the Nintendo switch a bit much but it works there we go oh man I'm gonna make it it's not looking so good please do not judge me based on this there we go tied it up what did I do that doesn't look good why am I so small what'd I do there we go no bombs I forgot about those let me just blew myself up nice oh oh no oh yes guys I don't know how people stream and talk at the same time I can barely concentrate on what I'm doing all right I think I tied it up again okay this is my moment is that it it's all it took all right still got it foreign
