Then, they seem to have "merged" with Temu. I became very suspicious, even though I had ordered many times from the Chinese company Stationary Pal and was very pleased with the materials. But, I placed an order for less than $20 for various papers, vellum, stickers, etc. with Temu. Much to my surprise, my order sent a tracking number and an update each day ! The materials were here in exactly one week ! Since then, I have made numerous orders, and have been more than pleased with the speed and quality. Now I need to add, I have never, ever, ordered anything in any other category outside paper crafting tools and materials; no clothing, shoes, or house hold items, etc. of any kind.... had that "gut" feeling that when something is too cheap to believe, it's .... cheap ! I also do not put "apps" on my phone. I ordered from the website just as I did with Stationary Pal when it was separate. So my caveat to all is, follow Kim K. (I have gained much info from her radio program over the years) advice about "apps" and Temu merchandise EXCEPT, if you are a paper crafter looking for materials not available here to make ephemera or decorate scrap book pages, journals, etc. and you order from the website, don't fear, the materials are wonderful, often from Japan but also from China, and they arrive quite quickly, surprisingly fast in my opinion.

Thank you for explaining. I am less suspicious now. I generally resent any unsolicited approaches by any one. They give me work (to get rid of them). If they are legitimate perhaps a different advertising style could be used. Invading my personal things is not one of them.
