Deal Details
Dirt cheap prices on a powerful and well reviewed cb/ham transceiver and radio receiver (does pick up broadcast radio bands)

https://www.temu.com/goods.html?g...2196050750


Temu big summer savings event has a great price on the legendary Baofeng radio/transceiver for new Temu users. Limit 1, and Temu popup said no order under 10 dollars will be shipped. So you can order two of these, or the same radio in different color plastic shell/skin. or something else on the website that strikes your fancy. This is the filler item that I chose, buying two, one for me and one for the wife:

it's illegal to broadcast on some of these bands without a federal license, however, it is not illegal to use them if there is an emergency

Very similar to Alibaba. Just a bunch of sellers in China selling stuff really cheap.

Everything I have ordered has arrived with no problems.

Yup. Even Snopes agrees: https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/...a-spyware/

The company employs many developers of software Google removed for being spyware:

MAJOR scam site.

"While security experts have not identified any such Malware in Temu, valid concerns exist about the methods employed by other companies under the umbrella of PDD Holdings. As CNN reported, Temu now employs many of those fired programmers."

As described in the 2023 USCC report, 'Temu's lack of affiliation with established brands has brought concerns of product quality as well as accusations of copyright infringement.' PDD Holdings, that report stated, has been subject to myriad customer-service complaints relating to shipments from Temu that never arrived or shipments that do not contain the product advertised.

pay with credit card, klarna, paypal or whatever else they offer, and you will either get your $10 order or you will get your money back and they'll get slammed with a 30 dollar chargeback. That site is no better or worse than alibaba. Buck up and quit being pansies

Stay on topic, everyone can decide where they want to shop. Bottom line is that this is absolutely the cheapest way to two of these great radios
Me thinks the OP doth protesteth too much. LMAOLMAO

There's a reason "deals" from scam-ridden AliExpress aren't listed here. Should be the same for this site.

I get "This item is sold out." followed by a "sign in or register" form.

No.

But thanks anyway.

Thanks for the info. Temu and their parent company, Pinduoduo, are super sketchy. I'm staying far away from this one.

FWIW, I've placed about 4 orders with them and everything generally arrives in 1-2 weeks; faster than aliexpress and usually free shipping. Generic marketplace equivalent of Harbor Freight - you buy it for one-time use or as a disposable item, not to pass on to your grandkids. Most items have been indistinguishable from the Amazon equivalents (and, I have no doubt, are manufactured in the same overseas facilities). The site is light on any tech specs so you get what you get; I wouldn't put too much faith in any purchase. I bought a couple of inexpensive drybags and packing cubes for my backpack and they're on par with generic stuff from Amazon. Also picked up some miscellaneous hardware and electronics connectors and it's acceptable quality.

I've been trying to find a wireless backup camera for my truck that sends the video to a cell phone. It seems that all? of them use apps. that require that your phone's "Location Services/GPS" be turned on. I don't know why that would be but I'm not putting that on my phone (even if it is a burner phone that will only be used for this purpose).
If anyone knows of a backup camera (to phone screen) that doesn't use one of these sinister apps. then I'd love to know about it.
