Has anyone ever purchased from Catch? If yes, thoughts?
@Goddess_Amaterasu @bot001 yes, but not directly, I ordered from eBay and then got the order value refunded as they didn't post anywhere on the auction that they were drop shipping. Hot tip π₯: I do that every time someone does that from Amazon - I don't give Bezos money if I can help it, and anyone not being clear on eBay they are drop shipping from a large competitor seller are breaking the TOS and deserve to get penalised.
Yes, bought a few things for the cat during lockdowns and never had any issues.
Yeah a handful of times over the years. Items arrived without incident and as advertised. Couldn't fault it.
Thanks bull! Iβve seen ads for it but have never used it before and the site seems to have something I need that I canβt seem to get elsewhere. Appreciate your input
I think the real Q is haa anyone ordered fun temu? The prices seem too good to be true.
I tried. Got an email 4 days later with a refund and a $10 credit to use. Not sure what the go is
@brave @Goddess_Amaterasu *raises hand* yup, is basically mostly $2 shop type stuff, some good kitchen bits & bobs for cheap, best buy so far has been an under cabinet light which works flawlessly with motion detection for $12, and a really good plug hair catcher with excellent suction cups that I viewed dubiously when opening, for $1.50. A few things I haven't found that useful or cheaper quality than images suggest.
Whatβs the shipping turn around
@Goddess_Amaterasu not too bad, about 1-2 weeks. if you order a bunch of stuff they may come in several packages a few days apart. They say they give you a part refund if shipping takes longer than they estimate, mine were well within the time frame they gave.
@Goddess_Amaterasu that's Temu btw, Catch was much faster less than a week
Thank you for your input. It kinda reminds me of AliExpress but quicker
Someone I know got a bunch of cheapie kids toys from there and said it was all legit and fast shipping.
I have a few times, never had any problems.
Yes. No issues at all. Itβs a legit business based in Australia.
Many many many times. There's two parts - catch themselves, and marketplace. Catch ships insanely fast, and they will rip into any marketplace seller that tries to dodge you.
What how can you tell which is which?
It tells you. Also tells you if the seller is overseas. You can even filter your search results to Catch sold items only.
Yeah what I initially saw was from google search then when I went on the official site I saw what she meant. Unfortunately the item I want is marketed
Still good, i get marketplace stuff all the time. Catch still protects you, they will go after any seller that tries to rip you and forcibly refund no worries.
