I have used Temu several times and was quite satisfied with the products, price and quality.

Hope you are correct. They do have some of the best pricing. Time will tell....

Lorraine & I have bought several items from Temu and never had any problems, good fast delivery as well, better than other sites doing similar.


TEMU is a great place. I had ordered a flash trigger and receiver from a company out of Cali. Problem was they wanted it to be sent back to them to replace the 23A battery (garage door opener battery, Home Depo, $7 for two) when it went dead. Just what I need mailing back a tiny electronic part that goes up on the cameras flash shoe, don't think so.

So, I contacted TEMU, they did not have it advertised but yes they have them. Speaking to the phone rep I explained my not wanting to have a failure in the studio by having a part in the mail. The guy offered to sell me several for a reduced price. So now I have several. One note, I never use the batteries that come with these units (these had one in the unit and a spare, all went to the battery reclamation. They just don't last and so I put America supplied batteries in and test to see these are working.

Why all this? The current charge that most models get is between $75 and $150 and hours, depending on clothed or nude modeling. Lets see a $4.00 battery, a $24 trigger/receiver? Simple business math.

The studio has some 20 different triggers/receivers, including a Pocket Wizard that is radio linked to the Dyna-O-Lite flash system.

In flash photography (studio or location) the weakest link is the sender/receiver and PC cables. This has been true for decades.
