Absolutely! I also love access to small, cheap electronic bits for my projects, and at the same time I’m all for protecting our postal services. A 2€ per package surcharge doesn’t practically change anything on the economy side. Temu already expects a minimum purchase of something like 20€.

My small concern with this is how it will be applied/processed by the carriers. I hope it doesn’t end up like the customs/VAT on larger packages, where they charge 10-20€ for customs clearance. But now that I write it down, for me, even that isn’t a complete blocking factor. I’d probably spend more time comparing the value of ordering direct vs from a local reseller, which is exactly the goal.

We’ve used Bambo, made in Denmark for my child. They’re distributed in a number of countries, including Germany and France. Online pharmacy/parapharmacy stores like Atida often carry them at a good price.
