On Friday, January 31 was inaugurated at number 94 Fuencarral Street ( right next to Aliexpress) a store where everything is bought blindly. It is TemuBox, a small shop full of surprise packages where we can win from a tablet to a pajama shirt. And the best part: here you’re allowed to cheat a little and shake each gift to deduce what’s inside.
TemuBox has products from the big companies specialized in online sales: Amazon, Shein, Aliexpress and Temu. The price of each item will depend solely on its weight. There are scales scattered around the store where we can know its value.
Each kilo of products is around 23 euros, a quite affordable price if we are lucky enough to get an iPhone, a smart watch or any of the star prizes that are hidden around the store.
Before going to the store, it should be noted that the shopping experience depends a lot on the luck factor. Most of the items we find here are returned orders that have been left in warehouses, some of dubious quality. That said: unlike in Instagram sweepstakes, a little gift (whether or not it’s what we expected) we’re sure to get.
