I've ordered a couple of items from TEMU. They took 10 or 11 days to arrive, which I consider very fast when ordering from China. The items were exactly as described in their postings. I have no complaints.

Free items is a scam
September 21, 2023

Disclaimer: This review has nothing to do with the order # listed, I was not able to leave a review unless I put in an order number. I was happy with the things I ordered. This is only about the SCAM free item promo.
Don't waste your time trying to get the"free" items, you will never get them. You have to harrass people to download the app which gives you points toward your "free" items. But when you need just one more referral to accept your invitation, suddenly, that persons referral won't go thru to your account. Then your time is up, and you lose everything you picked out. And no, you are not allowed to pay the difference. Even if that difference is only 50 cents. That's where I'm at now, one more new user referral and I would have gotten my free items. Nope, that new user was never credited to my account. So I lose all my items. Ive tried this "free item" thing twice now, both times i need just one more new user referral to get the items, but nope, those new referrals were never credited to me. Temu, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
I got fooled twice. I won't be doing it again. What a scam.

I ordered a few things on temu and then shut down the app, and since then I've been bombarded with text messages from temu giving special offers and percentage discounts on your next order. I've gone into settings of shut everything off and I still can't seem to stop getting these messages. I've looked on YouTube I follow their instructions and still I get messages. Can somebody please tell me how to stop or how to turn off or get rid of temu completely?

They sell super cheap crappy items with glowing fake reviews and then by the time you get the product home and realize its total junk they discontinue the item so when you leave a bad review it doesnt even show up anywhere. Literally just happened to me.

My Order
August 22, 2023

I just want to say thank you from placing of my order to receiving it has been so enjoyable. Temu is a great company to deal with. Received email quickly after placing order to let me know order was placed, received tracking info within a day or so, and Temu stayed on top of the delivery until I received it today. Received emails with up to date tracking info everytime something took place. Great company with the best service to customers I have ever had. Also I am very happy with my order. Will definitely order from Temu again.

Worst Customer service ever
September 20, 2023

Temu is all good as long as you have no problem. The moment you have a problem, they become the worst ever company. I had an order that was never delivered and they kept insisting it was with a misleading picture, they asked me to call their courier service for further details and when I did the courier service told me it was returned back and to call temu for it. When I got back.in touch with them, they kept saying to call the courier service and that they wouldn't help, even after I sent them picture of email from the courier service asking to contact temu. After a lot of back and forth where both companies kept asking ti call each other, the courier company relented and gave me a refund but temu never took responsibility for it ever.
The next thing that happened was I ordered a bunch of items and one was a shelf packed in a box. I omly received that box and the package itself was tightly wrapped around the package that you can tell there wasn't anything else packed. I sent the picture of package and the shelf box itself and unless they want to agree that they tempered with the box of shelf, there was no way to say items were packed. But temu kept denying my claim without any info. After atleast 15 times, I had contacted their customer service, all I got was their cameras show it was packed. I recieved no proof of it and my proof was discarded even though it was a solid proof.
Not to mention it is actually hard to reach their customer service. If you contact customer service to talk to a person, they will tell you to submit a ticket. The ticket do not talk to an actual person and they refuse to talk to you one on one. The only way you can directly talk to them is to call them and even that takes ages and you still won't receive the help you need in the end.

Example a puzzles of a Jigfoxy rooster and puzzles of a Kaahee Sea Turtle. Check it out for your selves. Also had picture of rooster but system let me choose only one item. All ready had slightly different rooster. So order number for turtle.

I ordered a shirt and hat for my husband. And a short outfit for myself. It took weeks to get it and when I finally did I was very unhappy. The hat looks really cheap and came really smashed/ folded up in a bag. It's trash and as for the outfit I got it looks nothing like the picture shown. It's very cheap looking and the colors are dull. The cute picture shown on the shirt is just a big cheap sown on patch. My husband was dissatisfied with his shirt also. I saying is cute but the shape and material it's made from is weird. I'll never buy from them again! And the order wasn't really that cheap either. I would have rather spend the $32 on one good item at my local store then to have wasted it on this trash!

I'm not sure if Temu or Laser shipping is at fault. My last order showed delivered and signed by someone i don't even know. The delivered address just shows my zip and not my full delivery address. I am not happy about this and probably will not be purchasing anything more and run the chance of this happening again
