There is thousands of "Temu" they exist because

> Factories and merchants on Temu send merchandise directly to Temu shoppers, using a trade exemption that allows shipments under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free.

Why this still exists is beyond me. Why pay for a local product when you can go on Temu and pay $3 for a Chinese product with shipping and no tax, may take a month to arrive, but who cares.
