So, what about this week? Well, we’ve two amazing new articles for you:


The first article will cover the difference between Temu and Shein for dropshipping.


Here's a quick overview:


  • Temu offers a more extensive and diverse product range. While focusing mostly on fashion, Shein has an advantage in that niche. Shein also has products in other categories, like home appliances.
  • Temu doesn't charge for standard shipping, but Shein does if the product price is under $10. Many Temu products are more expensive than Shein's, but the free shipping makes Temu worth it. If you're eligible for free shipping, Shein can be more affordable.
  • Both Temu and Shein lack dropshipping tools and integrations. Both platforms don't offer any tools dropshippers can use to dropship products from their platform.
  • Most of Temu's products are sold by different suppliers, and Temu doesn't manufacture most of them. Conversely, Shein manufactures most of its products, although some private suppliers are available.
  • Both Temu and Shein offer return policies, although they're not ideal for dropshippers. Returning products to China can end up being expensive and time-consuming.
