Temu at least delivers the garbage you order. Merchbar just sits on your money and hopes you forgot that you ordered anything.
Both of the orders I made earlier this year were in stock when I bought them. They still never shipped.
That being said, I have bought and received maybe 5-6 albums from them overall and most were really good deals.
I ordered once and got my "in stock" items in less than a week. I tried a few months later with slighlty more limited jazz releases--Muriel Grossmann LPs if I recall correctly--and though they were listed as "In Stock" and ready to ship immediately, after three months of waiting, I canceled. When I inquired about the order after the first two weeks, I got a reply from CS about "issues with their new inventory and fulfillment software"--which sounded like a VMP response if I ever heard one. And then I did a little googling and found out that my expiernce was most definitely not an isolated event.
All that's to say, I agree, it's just not worth the trouble with Merchbar, especially now that I can usually get the same stuff for a comparable or better price through Paladin/Apocalypse.
