YouTuber Tests Temu’s Refurbished Consoles, Finds Mixed Quality Across Four Machines

An Oregon shopper’s four Temu-purchased consoles—Nintendo Switch Lite, Switch OLED, PlayStation 5, and an N64—were tested by YouTuber TronicsFix. Results showed mixed quality: the Switch Lite looked nearly new but likely wasn’t a true refurb, the N64 was dirty and modified, the Switch OLED appeared used rather than refurbished, and the PS5 was functional but dirty inside; overall, all four worked, suggesting Temu’s “refurbished” listings often mean used and reset rather than professionally serviced.

Temu Faces Pricing Challenges in the 2025 E-Commerce Battle with Amazon

Temu is struggling to rebuild its US online retail presence due to Amazon's dominant pricing power, which prevents Temu from offering significantly cheaper branded products. The company has faced challenges after changes in US import duties and has reduced advertising, leading to a sharp decline in active users. Temu's efforts to incentivize sellers and compete on price are limited by Amazon's ability to match or undercut prices, making it difficult for Temu to gain market share without risking losses or offering non-branded or discounted goods. The company advocates for fair competition amid these challenges.

Temu's US User Base Halves After 'De Minimis' Changes and Tariffs

Temu's daily US users dropped by 58% in May following the US ending the 'de minimis' tariff exemption, which allowed Chinese companies to ship low-value packages tariff-free. This change, along with broader US-China trade tensions, has led to a significant decline in Temu's US engagement and sales growth, prompting the platform to cut ad spending and shift to a local fulfillment model. Meanwhile, Temu's growth in non-US markets has increased, especially in less affluent regions.
