Be careful when buying things at Temu. If you need to buy, you should only buy less than 5 items at a time. This happened to me several times. I took pictures of the returned items and video clips before putting them all in a bag to send, but every time I received the goods they kept saying there weren't enough items, so the amount was deducted from you. It's not correct.

I hate Temu, NEVER AGAIN
October 13, 2023

So my daughter ordered $20 worth of products and she changed her mind. We sent it back and she got the email that the warehouse received the products, they emailed my daughter and denied her return claiming they haven't received despite us showing proof. She's a teen and this was her hard earn money! Moving forward I am going to bad mouth them with the facts and discourage everybody to NOT buy from this scam

I ordered product from this company and one of my orders wasn't there for me to view. I chatted with someone named Tello. They give you this BS about how they can't tell you anything 'because they take it very seriously'. Okay, I told 'Tello to ask me any questions so he can verify that I'm actually the one who purchased the one order which he said was different. I told him the mailing address was the same, the phone number was the same, the last name was the same, etc. He didn't care enough to help me out and pawned it off to another division. One of those "I escalated your case and someone will be getting in touch with you". I asked to chat with his supervisor and he blew me off.

Nothing but junk
October 12, 2023

Curiosity killed the cat. I thought I would scan to see what they had. A pineapple corer! I love pineapple! It turned out to be a piece of tin that wasn't sharp enough to get through a tomato. The "plush" bathmat? A thin piece of foam that leaks right through to the floor. There were several other items that werent worth the bag they were in. Except a telescoping fan and corner sweep went into the garbage, along with my $33.00. When I scoped it, it was useless! It didn't bend to clean the blades! More garbage! Score: China $39.00 - Me 0

I was skeptical ordering here but after people saying it was real and cheap m, I gave in.

After waiting and spending almost $300 (my very bad decision), I checked and said that my packages were delivered but to the wrong house on the photo! Customer service said to contact their courier that I never heard of "Piggyship" and I called them but no answer, no agent or even an option to leave a voicemail. I kept calling and told customer service that I got no response, they said they cannot refund me or even re-ship the product. So i lost $300 because they don't use trusted couriers and expect me to look for a misdelivered package that was all delivered past 9PM, through our 80+ apartment complex.

Bad customer service and bad courier.

My husband placed the order in temu two weeks ago, the order arrived in Dublin but the delivery people have not brought it even now. Deliveries lie that they were at our house but it's not true, I swear I didn't leave the house that day to pick up my order but I wasn't called I didn't receive a message I didn't receive anything at all at the end of the day a message was sent in which they said that we were not at home, but it is not true. On the application it shows that my package is in the driver's van but the person in charge of delivery does not bring it, my order is worth 100 euros and I don't know what I can do to get my money back. If someone can help me with an advice... conclusion: those from temu sent the package (nothing bad to say) but those who deliver it to the country are a real disaster. Although I heard from a lot of people that they don't order from this application because they don't receive their orders, I still took the risk and "took the stake", I want my money back and I don't know how I will get it back, I repeat those from I'm afraid they are not to blame but those responsible for the deliveries are a disaster in Dublin they are playing with our time and money

Users beware
October 11, 2023

Users be aware! They do not have any kind of order preview or review before completing order. Bypassed having to log into PayPal and pushed through order. Wanted to use PayPal pay in 4. Contacted ther support team immediately. Was told to initiate refund through PayPal. Did that immediately, and after Temu support team said then couldn't do anything because of the PayPal charge back. It's been almost 2 weeks. PayPal and temu claim waiting on the other side. Havnt eaten in days, and no one cares. I have repeatedly asked why there was no order preview/review or secondary order confirmation. Was told the can't discuss company procedures.

Very Satisfied Customer
September 11, 2023

I have placed over 20 orders with Temu in the last 4 months. Only two of them were over $14 (just in case). I get cheap, use 3-times-a-year items usually. I was unsatisfied with 3 out of the 100+ items I ordered. I gave those items 2 or 3 star reviews and Temu encouraged me to return/refund them. I don't take a picture of item as requested; I don't request a refund (tell them to just apply as a credit), and they tell me to keep item/throw away/donate the item; the credit is automatically applied to next order. Never had a problem with that. I understand deliveries take about 2 weeks: the one time a delivery was late, they credited my account the $5. I tried a clothing item (it was too thin); I tried jewelry (it looked chintzy); I tried an electronic item (it worked fine). So I know what to expect from them and order accordingly. You are paying 1/5 th what you'd normally pay>>so lower your expectations. Don't order $100 at a time and don't ask for refunds; ask for account credits (that way they know you'll be back). The 919 complaints on BBB are about expectations (in quality, delivery time, refund/crediting). Wise up: I'm 72 yr. Old and like the company and its products (despite being a very wealthy, snobby gentleman.)
