As a family, we have only been let down by Temu on 2 occasions (out of dozens), and neither time was due to poor quality, but due to the wrong item being sent. An instant no-quibble refund for both, no return required.
I have often seen reports of Temu clothing not being the size advertised, but my wife and daughter have not seen any evidence of this in their many purchases.
A neighbour asked my to source spare parts for gardening tools. Amazon and Ebay prices were bad enough, but all the many Parts Supply" companies seemed like they were taking the pi55. The parts were here in a week from Temu, and the quality of each was perfect.

All Temu and AliExpress orders pay VAT to the UK coffers.
And how much is produced in the UK these days? I suspect that a very large proportion of items on sale in the UK were actually manufactured in China.
