Temu ambassador
WhatsApp vendors, iffa talk say make thunder fire una, e go touch una because y'all have traumatized me😭😂 Sincerely, I stopped purchasing things online because I'm always experiencing what I ordered versus what I got. And most of the time, delivery guys would just add to the frustration. I'm just a girl. I don't have the strength for all this palava.😭 So, a friend recently introduced me to Temu and tried encouraging me to get something from there saying it's a better option. She showed me things she'd also gotten from Temu, and sincerely, they were so, so nice! She even offered to teach me how to place an order, fill in my details, and all that. I was skeptical because, omoo, of all places to buy something from... Temu? The same Temu that I participated in dragging? 😭😂 I promise it's not what you think, but I really don't trust those Chinese guys😂 So, yeah, I summoned up the courage to buy something from the app, and sincerely, I was expecting the worst. I decided to get something cheap, just to try it out. Now, around that period, my glasses were bad and expired. It was really affecting me, and I was using non-prescription glasses to avoid straining my eyes while waiting to get new prescription ones. Long story short, my glasses needed changing, so I decided to get these anti-blue-light glasses. WhatsApp vendors told me to pay ₦12k. At first, I wasn't freaked out because, genuinely, those kinds of glasses were always costly. BUT GUESS WHAT? I saw those exact glasses on Temu for so cheap! I was like, what's going on here? 😭 I tried discouraging myself from buying them because, like always, we don't trust Chinese people😂 But my aroro bad habit carried me to use this opportunity to try out Temu. I added the glasses to my cart. Then my friend helped me fill in my details, and Temu no gree! They said the minimum order was ₦20k. I spent another week-plus convincing myself that ₦20k wasn't a lot of money. IT IS A LOT OF MONEY OO!😂 Just a couple of dollars when converted, abi?😂 So I sha added other things I needed, including headphones, AirPods, bags, and all. I couldn't resist! Those headphones and AirPods were so cute and aesthetical. When I calculated everything I wanted to buy, I saw something close to ₦50k. Nobody told me to go and start removing things from my cart😭😂 I reduced everything to around ₦30k and placed my order. Then I waited for two weeks or so. And to the Glory of the Lord These people brought my order all the way from China to this village that I'm schooling in. And I tracked it every step of the way. I was genuinely amazed! My thoughts were that these guys were ready to send WhatsApp vendors packing because, omooo EVERYTHING I BOUGHT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE WHAT I SAW ONLINE! They were so nice ! Except that my headphones broke🥲 I didn't want to complain because I couldn't imagine them returning the headphones back to China or something like that. But then I just decided to complain and see how it turns out. I sent pictures and videos of the broken headphones, and they refunded me. As a sharp girl, I used ₦200 to buy superglue, glued the headphones, and they're still working😭😂 TEMU TO THE RESCUE! I've been using all those items ever since. And I've now turned into a Temu ambassador. 😂😭 So, guys, if you want to learn how to shop on Temu, hit me up with your consultation fee. Hehehe.😹 So yeah, that's the story of a girl who started trusting online shopping. And for real, it's so convenient and addictive🥹🧡
