I probably have over 20 orders already with them... Though some items are just disposable, most are well made with an unbelievably low price. PLUS - shipping is FREE... Shipping is not overnight but it is quick! Excellent selection on just about anything!
I ordered 8 things from them in two different orders. After seeing my package arrive in a pretty small bag for 8 things I was worried. Upon opening I received 4 items. None of them being anything close to what I ordered. And some being inappropriate items. Very disappointed and not happy. Never will trust them again. Hopefully my money I spent will also be returned.

Ordered several things from them and my credit card got hacked, could have done without the hassle, I'm not sure I'll buy again.

I've ordered things from temu 3 or 4 times and have never had any trouble. Everything was of decent quality and was delivered surprisingly quickly considered how far it had to travel. Ive ordered umbrella hats and small knick knack items.

I ordered a LED light strip. Nothing I did could make it work. A seat cushion for my handicapped relative was flatter than a pancake. No cushion to it at all. Portable vacuum for my car? Worked but A) no charging cord & B) The whole think fit in the palm of my hand! GARBAGE! Nothing but garbage. Another Chinese app meant to read your phone & nothing else.

BEWARE! TEMU is like WISH. It's a scam. You can not "win" anything free from them. ESPECIALLY on the game FISHLAND. Closer you get to the amount to win they throttle the amount you earn as well as cut back the amount of food you can feed the fish! It's deceptive, bait and switch, dishonest! And orders come from CHINA, Therefore impossible to receive within the 7 days they claim. They'll blame airlines for canceled flights. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME and MONEY!

...but of my last two orders one has gone missing completely and the other is now way overdue. These were items for my grandsons birthday and now I have to start all over again with very little time to get sorted. I feel very let down. I have been refunded for one but that doesn't solve my problem as I am house bound and cannot get out to replace them which is why I bought online in the first place.

Temu will charge you full price when you return an item. Instead of refunding what you paid, the charge you the discounted price and deduct it from your refund. Which company does this?! This is the first and last time I order from TEMU

I RETURNED ALL ITEMS ORIGINALLY ORDERED. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL INDICATING THAT I HAVE RECEIVED A FULL REFUND.
RECENTLY THE ITEMS WERE SENT BACK TO ME. THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT CHAT IS WORTHLESS. NO MATTER HOW CLEARLY I STATED MY CONCERN, THE RESPONSE WAS "... CAN YOU MORE CLEARLY STATE YOUR PROBLEM SO WE MAY HELP ANSWER...". PERHAPS THE CHAT PERSON DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLANATION.

I started ordering from Temu several months ago and I have had great experiences with ALL the items I ordered. Everything I ordered was as advertised; shipping was free and was trackable, and if it came even a day later than expected, they gave me a $5 credit! I have returned 2 items with no hassle. The items I returned were not because of an error on their part; I ordered them the wrong size! I am very impressed with the prices, the quality, and the customer service at Temu, and I will be ordering more from them regularly!

I have a credit with them totaling over $30 and whenever I try to use it, the check out system wont allow, me to use it. Customer service tried to tell me I used it on an order but when I showed them it still sitting in my account and to show me how I used it, I get crickets and a page out of the playbook. They are allegedly from Boston, but customer service is clearly outsourced. Until this issue is resolved, I will not order again and if anyone asks me if they are a good company, my answer will be a resounding no. Going to try AliExpress. Maybe they will do better.

I have order some things about 3 or 4 weeks ago and I am still waiting for my order. I have been satisfied with some of the merchandise. I wish they send my order soon. A pair of sunglasses came broken, but other than that I love the shoes. I don't have the order number I deleted it by accident.

Answer: When there ready. Maybe never. They are sending me robot answers with the same response. I have to take a account with temu to act as my refund. Y would I do that? They not only sent me garbage, but left me with a $25 dry cleaner bill from the dye on the PKG that came of on my pants and shirt.
