Temu – How did my order go ?

My wife was looking for a sticker for on our electric car, saying that it is 100 % electric. She found one on temu, so I decided to order it, and also write about the orde. This was on 18 October 2024.  So just for the weekend ordered. Should be here within 5 till 12 BUSINESS days. But before 6 November. If I will not get it by then they tell me that I will get 5 euro.

Today I looked again if the order was already shipped, but no, still not shipped ?

It also is saying that the fastest time it can be here will be 25 October. So another 4 days. The order day did not count if I see this.

During the weekend I already got a lot of promotions emails ! Order this and get 99 % discount, and what already not for more. Including ADD to your excisting order ? Do NOT need anything else, so just ship it !

 

Now you can not only order yourself, but you can also become a affiliate from Temu here ! But the fun part of this affiliate program is that I can not find how many people I already have helped to become a affiliate member of temu?

But if I find it, I let you know where there is more informatio. Okay, now back to the order.
As mention before I ordered it just for the weekend. So in the best case this week it can come in on Friday 25 October! So I have to wait for that. Till then I leave this article open. So you can expect a update as soon as I get my items !

What did I order ?

Started with the Sticker ! (€ 3 x 1.49)

Then I found a sadle bag I could use for my bicycle. (€6.52)

And I needed a few extra led lights. (3 x €2.78)

And last but not least I ordered extra a few Buble Trangle Level in black! (2 x €0.67 cent)

All together around the € 20.67 euro worth of stuff.
And I would maybe not have got it normal, but because of the push you have here in buying it, I did get more. So, temu, it is working so far ! When there is a update, I will update this more ! Tell me in the mean time in comments your experiance with temu !

Temu Purchase Experience – Final Update

On October 18, 2024, my wife was looking for a “100% electric” sticker for our electric car. She found one on Temu, so I decided to place an order and write about the experience. I also added a few extra items to the cart: a saddle bag for my bike, some additional LED lights, and a couple of small bubble levels. All together, it came to about €20.67.

Initially, I expected the order to arrive within 5 to 12 business days, so sometime before November 6. However, by October 25, the order hadn’t even shipped. Even as the days passed, I was constantly bombarded with promotional emails and app notifications, all urging me to buy more. The advertising was relentless, making it clear that Temu’s approach to sales heavily leans on encouraging further purchases.

When the items finally arrived, I was met with mixed results:
– The sticker was larger than expected and not transparent, which wasn’t ideal.
– The saddle bag had a broken zipper.
– The LED lights worked, but the switches were tiny and a bit inconvenient.
– Thankfully, the bubble levels were fine.

To Temu’s credit, when I reported the issues with the items, they promptly credited my account, which was a positive aspect of their customer service. However, the constant promotional pressure does feel overwhelming, especially when I’m not looking to buy more items immediately.

Overall, my experience with Temu has been a bit of a mixed bag. While the customer service response was prompt and satisfactory, the pushy advertising tactics and lower-quality items have left me somewhat hesitant to purchase again.

What has your experience with Temu been like? Let me know in the comments!

Tame the Chaos: My Love Affair with the HELDENWERK Car Boot Organiser

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m one of those people with a perpetually messy car boot. Shopping bags, sports gear, random tools – you name it, it was rolling around back there. But then I discovered the HELDENWERK Premium Car Boot Organiser, and it’s been a total game-changer. Seriously, where has this been all my life?

This isn’t your average flimsy organiser. The HELDENWERK is built to last, with reinforced side walls and a double base that can handle even my heaviest loads. And with three compartments and a multitude of pockets, everything has its place. No more frantic rummaging for that elusive dog leash or first-aid kit!  

What I really love is the flexibility this organiser offers. Heading to the supermarket? Expand it to full size. Just need a small bag for a quick trip? Fold it in half. It even collapses completely flat when not in use, which is perfect for saving space in my already crammed garage.

And let’s talk about the non-slip st

rips. Remember those days of hearing your groceries tumbling around with every turn? Yeah, those are over. This thing stays put! Plus, the water-repellent and UV-resistant material means I can toss anything in there without worry.

But the HELDENWERK isn’t just for the

boot. I’ve used it as a backseat organiser for road trips and even as a handy storage solution in my passenger seat. The padded carrying handles make it easy to transport, and the removable lid keeps everything secure and out of sight.

If you’re looking for a way to conquer car boot chaos, I wholeheartedly recommend the HELDENWERK Premium Car Boot Organiser. It’s durable, versatile, and incredibly well-designed. Trust me, your car (and your sanity) will thank you.

Here’s why I think you’ll love it too:

  • Maximum Organisation: Say goodbye to clutter with multiple compartments and pockets.
  • Space-saving Design: Folds completely flat or halfway for ultimate flexibility.  
  • Stable and Secure: Non-slip strips keep it in place, even on sharp turns.  
  • Versatile Use: Perfect for the boot, backseat, or even the passenger seat.
  • Durable and Weatherproof: Made with high-quality, water-repellent material.

Ready to take control of your car boot? Check out the HELDENWERK Premium Car Boot Organiser today!

From Tinkercad to Tabletop: My 3D Printing Adventures with Bambu Lab

From Tinkercad to Tabletop: My 3D Printing Adventures with Bambu Lab

I’ve always enjoyed making things, and 3D printing has opened up a whole new world of creative possibilities. My weapon of choice? Tinkercad! It’s incredibly user-friendly, even for beginners like me. I can whip up simple yet practical designs in no time, then bring them to life with my trusty Bambu Lab P1S.

Why Tinkercad?

Tinkercad is perfect for someone like me who appreciates straightforward design tools. It’s browser-based, so no need for hefty software downloads. Plus, the drag-and-drop interface makes it a breeze to learn. I can easily combine basic shapes, adjust sizes, and experiment with different ideas without getting bogged down in complex menus.

My Creations

I love designing things that have a practical use around my home and garden. Here are a couple of my recent projects, which you can find on Cults3D:

Corner HolderEufy S340 : Corner holder for the security camera Eufy S340!

(Big and small size)

Printing with the Bambu Lab P1S

Once my design is ready, it’s time to fire up the Bambu Lab P1S. This printer is a game-changer! It’s fast, reliable, and produces high-quality prints. For outdoor projects, I prefer using PETG filament, and I’ve been really happy with the GEEETECH PETG in various colors. It’s durable, weather-resistant, and prints beautifully on the P1S.

What’s Next?

I’m constantly coming up with new ideas for things to design and print. From custom organizers for my workshop to fun toys for my pets, the possibilities are endless. 3D printing has become my go-to for creating personalized solutions and adding a unique touch to my home.

If you’re interested in getting started with 3D printing, I highly recommend checking out Tinkercad and the Bambu Lab P1S. It’s an incredibly rewarding hobby that allows you to bring your imagination to life! Questions about it? Just ask me !

What print should you buy ?

I tested a lot of 3D printers when I started with this and a lot when back to amazon. But beside the Bambulab P1S this are the printers that are good as well, and a little cheaper if you want to start !

My top 3 would be :

1.QIDI TECH X-PLUS3 3D Printer

2. AnkerMake M5 3D Printer, High Speed Fast FDM 3D Printer
3. Sovol SV08 3D Printer with Camera

 But above is just some of the printers that I tested and I liked as well.

Aebe’s Recommendations: Two of My Favorite Things (and a Tale of a Theft!)

Aebe’s Recommendations Part 1: Two of My Favorite Things (and a Tale of a Theft!)

Hello from Aebe.nl! I start with a round of “Aebe’s Recommendations,” and this is part 1, and it comes with a rather unbelievable story… and a shake of the head at the audacity of some people.

I’m all about sharing my favorite finds with you, and these two items have been making my retired life even better. But, as you’ll soon see, I seem to be having some terrible luck holding onto one of them!

1. Bosch PMF 220 CE Multifunction Tool: A DIY Dream

This little powerhouse is like the Swiss Army knife of power tools. Sanding, sawing, grinding, scraping… you name it, this tool can handle it.

I’ve been using it for everything from removing old grout (a surprisingly satisfying task, by the way) to trimming door frames. It’s incredibly versatile and easy to use, even for someone like me who’s more of a “computer guy” than a handyman.

If you’re looking for a tool that can tackle a wide range of DIY tasks, I highly recommend checking out the Bosch PMF 220 CE. You can find it on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/4dKWOkD

2. The JOYROOM Mobile Phone Holder for Bicycle: Stolen, but Still Amazing!

Okay, here’s where the story takes a turn for the unbelievable. I did buy this awesome JOYROOM bike phone holder and  I really like it? Perfect for navigation, easy to get you phone out.

Well, it’s was stolen on the camping. Yes, really.

It was stolen right off my bike while it was parked under a roof at a campsite… during bad stormy weather ! You’d think the thief would have had bigger things to worry about, like, you know, not getting struck by lightning or something like that.

But apparently, the opportunity to steal a 15-euro phone holder was just too tempting to resist. Honestly, some people!

Despite its appeal to petty thieves, I still can’t recommend this phone holder enough. It’s that good. The anti-shake feature is fantastic, keeping my phone stable even on bumpy roads. No more blurry photos or shaky videos! If you’re a fellow cycling enthusiast, just be sure to keep a close eye on it!

You can find it (again!) on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/4f564RY

That’s it for this rather unbelievable edition of “Aebe’s Recommendations”! I hope you enjoyed the story and the recommendations. Stay tuned for more of my favorite things (that I’ll try my best to keep hold of!), coming soon!
