I just received what was supposed to be a dustpan and brush set from Temu. They've sent me a vibration platform exercise machine instead. The Australian warehouses don't seem to be that great at sending the right thing.

The machine is pink and has a cat decoration on it. I'd suspect Miss Meow was involved somehow if I couldn't see the order history...

Edit: I do like the design, but I have put it up on Marketplace. They sell for $133, compared to the $22 of the dustpan I actually paid for.

can confirm, cats love those things. I have one, and ours like to clamber all over it. Somewhere I have video footage of misha letting out the most hilarious warbleyowl known to man

I'm so up for this random shit with my order that's on the way. Let the mystery packages begin!

I haven't had much issue with the wrong thing being delivered until I started getting stuff from the Australian warehouses. They seem to like sending me completely different but more expensive items.

I'm open to being surprised lol
