I Bought the Same Crochet Cactus Kit from Temu, Amazon, and Etsy… The Results Shocked Me

While browsing online, I noticed something that immediately caught my attention. The exact same crochet cactus kit was being sold on Temu, Amazon, and Etsy using identical listing photos. The only thing that was different was the price.

The Temu kit cost about $10, the Amazon version was around $20, and the Etsy listing was nearly $40. That made me wonder if they were really selling the exact same kit or if paying more would get you better materials, clearer instructions, or an overall better experience.

To find out, I ordered all three, the results were not what I expected. Although the listings looked identical online, one of these kits turned out to be a huge disappointment. In fact, the Etsy purchase left me feeling completely scammed, but you’ll have to watch the video to see exactly what happened.

If you’ve ever wondered whether identical product photos mean you’re buying the same product or just paying a higher markup, this comparison is for you.

So which marketplace actually delivered the kit shown in the photos? Was the $10 Temu kit the best buy, did Amazon justify the extra cost, or was the $40 Etsy kit worth the premium? Watch the full comparison to find out which seller was legitimate, which kit offered the best value, and which one I’d never recommend.
