Some vendors have figured out how to maintain ultralow prices: Trick the U.S. postal service into delivering products for free.
  • Some Temu sellers use fake shipping labels to avoid delivery costs within the U.S.
  • Scammers advertise counterfeit USPS postage on Chinese social media, charging as little as 60 cents to deliver packages in America.

    The mentality is just disgusting. They use the word “cheating”. Not once did they refer to this behaviour as criminal.

    Like, I could reduce my grocery bill by “cheating” and paying with counterfeit bills.

    They’ve done the maths and decided they make more money through crime than they accumulate in fines.
