It'd worse than things like Temu. With that you just know you're buying cheap knockoffs with let's say questionable quality. On Amazon, you don't know what quality you're getting, for a worse price, and even worse delivery times (my last purchase from Amazon took 2 months to deliver. For a book!).

Amazon has basically become a delivery company with a shop front and no responsibility.

Their selling fees are utterly incomprehensible, but their calculator reckons you'll get about half the money for a £18 item and about 60% of it for a £45 item.

I feel like for that sort of cut, Amazon should be taking full responsibility for the fire hazard bullshit available from them.

Amazon, Uber, Deliveroo, etc are just leeches.

Does Temu actually send the items?

In my experience, yes.
