So initially very sceptical but not sure why. You basically get what you get in High St Stores or Amazon without the stores own branding/packaging at absolute rock bottom prices. I live in Essex, UK where most of the high St has gone so this is brilliant for me. The delivery is around two weeks. I use it for buying craft supplies and wedding supplies. It's also handy for gifts. You mainly get smaller items due to the posting requirement. But for reference, same spec dash cam I bought for £12 on Temu but in halfords is £149 on 'offer'. I've had it four months and still fine.
Hobby craft wooden hearts £5 for 5. Temu is £2.25 ish for 20. Just check sizes before buying.

There are also various promotions and games you can play to get free gifts. I've had free blankets, Free dog bed, Free flask (even free post).

*Money saving hack*: Go to the temu website and enter the following code api******* to get 50% off first order AND a £100 coupon bundle. Offer can be withdrawn at anytime so be quick as coupons usually last 28 days once loaded on your account.

Junk
September 14, 2023

Most of their merchandise is laughable, most of it came damaged or broken, people pay attention to the measurements the pictures are deceiving, most of this junk is like miniature, the shorts for men have no zipper, I kid you not! The clothes are made with cheap material that will rip easily, I won't ever order from Temu again...period!

Worst company ever.
September 14, 2023

I bought multiple orders, at least over 20 in one setting, and this company took my money and canceled all my orders, and now they will not give me my items, and the items that I wanted are no longer in stock because they canceled them without a reason when I have been verified every single time for the past five days, I don't know how many times I have been verified and my items have still been canceled. Worst company to deal with and talk to. I would not recommend and I would not buy.

Overly Exaggerated
September 13, 2023

I have placed a few orders and have found the quality of the clothing to be horrible. Materials are itchy and thin (cotton does not exist) and the website description photos are highly edited and misleading. The costume jewelry is ok for the price but the dollar store has comparable items. BEWARE their return policy is discretional. If they disagree with why you returned the item they will not refund it even in brand new condition and even after you pay return shipping. I think this company is a cash grab and nothing to invest your hard earned money in. Most of the reviews are left by paid influencers as noted on other sites.

It is not a fluffy sweatshirt - it's a thin itchy material with a cat graphic on it.

My muse Temu
August 14, 2023

I really like the experience of shopping here. Most of the products are outstanding and the no hassle return policy with great customer service is outstanding. I will invite others to check temu out. The only issue that I've experienced is with the spin for discount always pops up but is null and void for customers already participating. Then there is the invite one where you invite all of your friends and family from social media but never get enough to receive the promised free gifts selected, not satisfied at all with that one a lot of time wasted.

Respectfully,

Slow Shipping
August 14, 2023

My only complaint is they have slow shipping, as I believe that to being due to them being in Japan or China! But I like it for the most part even though I'm still waiting as it was due on the 12th-18th. It now shows the 22nd!

Great online outlet
August 14, 2023

Great online market place, we have placed 6 orders so far in our house and happy with everything received - all at great prices & good quality.

Loads of money off each time (that's why we've placed multiple orders).

Download the app and search in the search bar for product "*******", that's how I'm getting free products without even placing an order.

If the prices decrease on a product Temu will give you the difference back as well as a coupon, they love giving away money!

Lied about Free items
September 12, 2023

I received a text from a friend stating "I'm trying to get 5 free gifts can you help me". I clicked the link and then I received an invite to spin the wheel to see if I hit for example silver or platinum. I hit platinum then it said pick a card and when I did it said pick 10 free gifts. I did and then it said I had 24 hrs to get people to help me by responding to my text to join or they could be existing users then I would get the 10 free gifts. I had exceeded the challenge way before 24 hours. I got several people to join and help me with the challenge. The issue is Temu did not honor it's own challenge. I was frustrated because it said the items I chose totaled $154.71 and at the end of the challenge it said sorry you didn't complete the task in time. LIAR! I DID AND GOT SEVERAL PEOPLE TO SIGN UP AND EXISTING USERS TO RESPOND AND TEMU WOULDN'T GIVE ME MY CREDIT TOWARDS MY PRICE. It said you had $0.40 left before you could get your free items. Really! At this piont I see it as a scam and they used me to get a substantial amount of people to sign up and existing users to respond. Then to insult me further I get a message from Temu stating "My bad but I'm making it up to youwith an offer get 3 items for just $10." When I did this it showed my cart for checkout. Only took half off the price. I'M OVER THIS SCAM!

I want to know...
September 12, 2023

I want to know how every single item they sell has 4.5-5 star reviews. Not just a few but a few hundred 5 star reviews on every idem. Not possible. This is ridiculous! You can't trust them when deciding to purchase anything. I ordered about 10 items from them and it took 2 weeks to get. 5 items were crap, 3 were good and 2 were doable. They have fake reviews or people are lying. Whats up with this site?

There are some bad people out there as well they tried to play with the system and make it hard for us honest people to try to get a refund or redelivery of our items

Temu and Amazon have a lot of the same items. Those items are cheaper on Temu than on Amazon. You may have to wait a bit longer with Temu delivery but, I am okay with waiting. Amazon requires you to sign up for Prime in order to receive free S&H. Temu gives you free S&H with a purchase of $10 or more. They provide a delivery date window. If your item does not arrive within that time frame, you will receive a $5 credit. Returns are free and simple. I feel that Amazon is getting greedy. I purchased the 2 items below from Temu. The top was $3.67. The panties were $7.48. Amazon carries both of these items. The top is at least 3x more on Amazon. The panties are double in price.
