Alternative to Amazon?

#1 Post by MAD87 »

I've used Tenu.com several times now, with no cause for complaint so far. They sell an enormous range of stuff - clothes, kitchen & garden gadgets, storage boxes of all kinds, etc. etc., some very cheaply. I assume it's mostly bankrupt stock, but what do I know? I haven't done any corporate research on them. Delivery times are a bit slower than Amazon, but what the heck - if there's one thing I have oodles of at the moment, it's time.

Apparently not. It's a Chinese company trying to break into the American/European market.

Buyer beware?
So, in short Tenu has worked out a way to get the same or nearly the same product to the consumer more cheaply than its rivals and its profit margins are slimmer. Alors? That's what all retailers do, or aim to do. As I say, I've yet to have a dud and the extra 2 or 3 days for delivery doesn't bother me.
Tme will tell, but I still shop on Amazon too.
