Insolvente Deko-Kette Depot schließt bis Jahresende 27 Filialen

Die Einzelhandels-Kette Depot schließt bis Jahresende mindestens 27 deutsche Filialen. Das dürfte allerdings erst der Anfang sein. Das Unternehmen hat Probleme mit stark gestiegenen Kosten und Billig-Konkurrenz aus China.

I'd never used #Temu before, but I figured I'd give it a shot, for something relatively inexpensive.

Does this smell scammy to you?

Here's the funny part. I had this same item in my cart with several places, was looking for the best deal. Ordered the Temu one. Then, later, went to finish up my order at another online retailer, & FORGOT to remove this item. I've already received it from the US outfit.

I guess we'll see if I get $17 credit from Temu or not. ((shrug))

Things like such devices are actually the reason that the #EU will take action against #temu or similar.
If you want to sell any device in Germany for the power supply it has to comply to national and EU regulations.
Temu is makes it possible to buy goods that do not comply legal regulations or are dangerous without any possibility to police this.
But if you plug in only devices that do not pull more than 15Amp is could be save but you have to calculate yourself what you switch on.
