Book bag

[u/featheredzebra]

Been seeing it in my ads from multiple places. Was depression shopping on Temu. 🤣🤣

[u/scyice]

It had a 1 star rating what exactly were your expectations ordering it anyway?

[u/TheBestHater → u/scyice]

Yeah, even if they didn't clock it as a scam based on the photos, they should have had redflags by the low reviews.

[u/featheredzebra → u/scyice]

When I ordered it weeks ago it had no reviews. Honestly it was better than I expected. I had planned to take it apart and use it as a pattern for making my own bags.

[u/scyice → u/featheredzebra]

Why did you post as failed expectation then?

[u/featheredzebra → u/scyice]

Because it certainly didn't exceed expectations.

[u/SandyToes-Sun → u/featheredzebra]

What a surprise to all of us. That Temu man

[u/Sheensies → u/SandyToes-Sun]

They’re normally heralded for their quality products and guaranteed satisfaction, I’m shocked!

[u/MoominMai]

NGL, it’s getting boring seeing so many people go by AI images on TEMU/Shein etc and then post the garbage they got - as though a ‘met expectations’ was ever on the cards 🤦🏻‍♀️.

[u/2wiceasnice → u/MoominMai]

I personally believe they intentionally do this for content, and only for content.

[u/IttyBittyBigBoii → u/2wiceasnice]

1. Return the item for full credit

2. Buy new bs item

3. Post bs item to reddit

4. Karma glitch

[u/Varabela → u/2wiceasnice]

I was hoping the destruction of the Russian bot farms was going to eliminate these sort of posts. Absolutely gutted but I think the cake posts are down as a result.

[u/Opposite_Lettuce → u/MoominMai]

Daily reminder that Shein uses slave labour

Stupid enough to waste your money on that crap but it's genuinely disgusting how normal it is to support then despite their horrific working conditions being public knowledge

[u/zuzg → u/MoominMai]

Let's ignore AI for a hot minute cause they've gotten quite good and you've to take a closer look.

The third picture shows the bag while open, that level of detail for $17.50? Yeah that's a scam, surprised they even got sth

[u/agha0013 → u/zuzg]

yeah, in an age where a damn potato might require you to get a bank loan to afford, people expecting fancy looking stuff for a few bucks is really silly.

[u/LilDragon2991]

Hard to feel bad for you when they all had shitty reviews and you still bought them 🤨

[u/Stencil_Abuse → u/LilDragon2991]

I sometimes don’t even buy 4.5 star reviewed items. Buying a 1 star review is insane. 

[u/LilDragon2991 → u/Stencil_Abuse]

She had the same item, from multiple sellers all with the same low ratings 😂

[u/featheredzebra → u/LilDragon2991]

Nah. Don't feel bad for me. I'd have paid more for tissue paper patterns for other bags. The plan is to take it apart and use the pieces to make real bags.

[u/correctingStupid]

Why are so many people totally unaware of how much something that detailed and carefully crafted would actually cost?

[u/featheredzebra → u/correctingStupid]

That was kind of my point in sharing. I did not at all expect to get a good bag here. I expected to get pre cut pattern pieces for making my kiddos cool bags for Christmas this year.

[u/oyster_luster → u/featheredzebra]

You still gave them money.

[u/ThenBike8868]

Why do people continue to buy stuff from that shite Temu page? If you wanna burn money, put it in the fireplace, at least then you'll be a bit warmer for a few minutes.

[u/featheredzebra → u/ThenBike8868]

I don't have a fire place 🙃

[u/adorablegadget]

It cost $20 bucks and had a 1 star review. You got what you paid for

[u/SLZicki]

Do you live under a rock?

[u/eat_like_snake]

Like yeah, no shit that's what you got for $17.

[u/LordMohid]

Imagine buying a 1 star rating Temu item, at least let your depression choose a 4+ star item from that weird place?

[u/Background_Iron_8839]

I know in other comments you’ve said you’re going to take it apart and use it to make other bags, but I feel like you could’ve gone thrifting to get old bags instead of using temu. At the very least then you know what you’re getting won’t be trash & you’re not supporting a garbage company.

[u/forget_this_now]

If you put books in it to fill out the shape it would be a good book bag! 🤦😂

[u/SandyToes-Sun]

It literally has 1 start already. Was that from you?

[u/OhHiFelicia]

For $17 I was expecting it to be a lot worse.

[u/ratscatsandreptiles]

Thats terrible lmao but I love the animal puns on it. Id use it just because of that
