Usually: only for low-stakes accessories, not for important electronics.

Reasonable to buy:

  • Phone cases, stands, pouches, cable organizers
  • Simple cables or adapters if you’re okay with average quality
  • Some recognizable budget-brand items can be decent, including listings from brands like Lenovo Thinkplus

I’d avoid buying:

  • Power banks, wall chargers, and other power supplies unless you can verify the seller and safety certifications
  • Storage devices like microSD cards or USB drives, since ultra-cheap listings can be unreliable or even use fake capacity claims
  • Anything you depend on for safety, work, or important data

Bottom line:
Temu can be fine for cheap, low-risk accessories, but I would not buy chargers, batteries, or storage there unless you’re very careful about the exact listing, seller, and reviews. For power-related items, look for clear safety certifications from a reputable source; for storage, be especially cautious because bargain listings can be misleading. If you do buy, check photo reviews and return policy first, because listings can change quickly and quality varies a lot.
