Some items that had been removed from Temu’s US marketplace last month have been made available for sale in recent days
Some items that had been removed from Temu’s US marketplace last month after it shifted to a “local fulfilment model” have been made available for sale in recent days. A Chinese seller surnamed Liu, who sells women’s clothing from Dongguan, Guangdong province, said two of his dresses were made available for sale in the US on Wednesday, but dozens of his other products were still offline.
Liu operates his store under the so-called “full custody” arrangement, where Temu handles everything, including listings, pricing, logistics and tariffs.
Temu, which in early May only sold products tagged “local warehouse” on its US homepage, was promoting some direct-from-China items on its American site as of Friday, according to a search by the Post.
A nylon hiking backpack listed on the main US page was sold by a Chinese store named “My Trendy Restaurant”. It apparently was only reinstated recently, as it did not have any reviews posted between May 7 and June 2.
