LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- We've been seeing and hearing about warnings for two months now about possible tariff price hikes. Shoppers are starting to see them, especially if you shop from some popular direct from China retailers.
One of those popular retailers, Temu, started to lose customers as their prices nearly doubled on some items.
To help get their customers back, Temu recently transitioned its U.S. operations to a local fulfillment model. That means all sales in the U.S. are now handled by locally based sellers.
Shoppers aren't seeing price hikes anymore, although they are seeing a much more limited selection.
If the U.S. reaches a trade deal with China soon, then the surcharges should vanish, but for now, they are here.
