We could probably discuss this on the regular tariffs thread.
I am posting it separately at least for now because I figured folks might want to know about this.

From the article
Temu made a name for itself in the U.S. as a destination for ultra-discounted items shipped direct from China, such as $5 sneakers and $1.50 garlic presses. It’s been able to keep prices low because of the so-called de minimis rule, which has allowed items worth $800 or less to enter the country duty-free since 2016.
The loophole expired Friday at 12:01 a.m. EDT as a result of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in April. Trump briefly suspended the de minimis rule in February before reinstating the provision days later as customs officials struggled to process and collect tariffs on a mountain of low-value packages. . . .

I should have bought the old console gaming upscaler knock-off when it was on sale a couple weeks ago.
But I read those products are mostly good but also a toss up.
And it was from Ali express.

I bought a very cool electronic travel guitar from Temu about a month ago for like 55 bucks (that’s sitting with me here in Portugal as we speak) that’s cooler than anything I could find in the US…
Pics?
some was, some wasn’t.
I got a few things from them that were better than anything I could get here for much less. Including a great cordless ratchet that I used over the last couple days to change my rotors and make a few other repairs on the car. I love it.

Yeah it really is rolling the dice. That’s part of the fun with Temu though.
can’t get past the security puzzle…lol…
I do all of my online shopping through Amazon.
It has an electronic capo feature so you can play in different keys on the mini-fretboard. Has acoustic or electric timbre, can grade how well you’re playing scales - good just to keep the fingers going. Can’t do bends, pull-offs, or hammer-ons, tho… or at least they won’t work like a real guitar.
Looks cool!
I just edited to add some more info - useful toy for 53 bucks.
I do almost all mine through Walmart.
