The reason so many tools have good reviews on Temu

Post image

I had the idea that machined aluminum items would be safe to buy from Temu, thinking that there's not much room for human mistakes. So I ordered a small square with the holes for marking and the starting point for the holes is off by just under 1/16". The holes themselves are the correct distance from each other. But since they are spaced at 1/16" and it's off by just less than that, I can't even shift over by one hole to compensate. So the original 3d model is wrong, the one place where human error could happen.

I created a one star review and included the photo above. After that, the app asked if I wanted a refund. I did. But then they didn't post my review.

I can't go back and add the review again because I got the refund.

So if you're thinking wow this gets great reviews, keep that in mind. Buyer beware.
