“Free gifts”

Marlene C.
5/15/24

It's like working a 9-5 job to claim free gifts. I spent so much money here but could not get my free gifts because I was short 0.06. This is a rip off. I like what I buy but will not be buying anything again. I need my free gifts.

“Terrible Experience”

kara K.
9/13/24

Terrible first experience. I requested an item cancellation. Seller denied it, and shipped it. The item cancellation was requested several hours before it was shipped. Customer service claimed they couldn't help. So, beware, if you try to cancel for any reason, sellers can refuse it. Based on the conversation with Customer support, sellers seem more protected than customers

A message will show up on an item local warehouse items over $30 free shipping. On others it will say free shipping over $30 from this provider. When you order the items your charge does not show the shipping that is involved. Then later when the item ships the shipping fees are added. This is a sneaky and underhanded selling tactic to me. An item costing $2 ends up costing $5. Watch out for this event.

Tip for consumers:
I do not like false advertising or small print that disputes the large print.

Most products I have ordered I have kept whether or not I liked them. But they had free shipping.

Temu had some decent deals, but the overall experience was frustrating. My order arrived over two weeks late, and when it did, the packaging was damaged, and one of the items was missing. Trying to get in touch with customer service was a nightmare—they kept bouncing me from one representative to another without resolving anything. The quality of the products was way below what I expected, with several items looking nothing like their pictures. I finally managed to get a partial refund after several days of back-and-forth, but the hassle wasn't worth it. I won't be shopping on Temu again.

I returned a number of items to Temu (all on one order) and they were in excellent condition. I only got refunded for one item. Now I am going back and forth with Temu. They say my order could be under another account and just giving me the run around. Two items on the same order as the other items came from a different warehouse. The others came from overseas. No answer yet. So frustrating.

I ordered an expandable garden hose from Temu. I installed it and it seemed to work perfectly. Unfortunately I bought it back in Feb 2024 and it just broke about 2 weeks ago. It is spraying water out from the connection. I contacted Temu and told them it was defective. Unfortunately their policy on this item was only returnable within 90 days of purchase. My warning to all of you is be careful what you order from Temu. If it only has a 90 day return policy then you might consider paying a bit extra to buy it from a retailer that warranties items for more than 90 days. By the way I just bought another one of these hoses before the older one broke. So, I guess I need to return it or expect it to break in less than 6 months.

Tip for consumers:
There was only a 90 day return policy. Guess why?

This company or whatever it is called is an absolute piece of Garbage. I ordered a pair of dress shoes which should have been received on July 8th but did not arrive until today July 16th. The shoes were nothing compared to what was shown on the picture. It was a total piece of trash. Please do not buy anything from this so-called company. It's a fluke. Instead of asking for a rating from 1-5 star, there should have been an option to say "F" you as well. It was very disappointing overall.

The most terrible company, in every way. Products of execrable quality, extraordinarily bad shipping, but the worst experience is that of the return. After walking from one side to another to drop off the package (the instructions on the website have nothing to do with reality), you wait a month to receive a refund that was not even issued. I have been to the bank several times so far, only to be told that the ARN code sent by them to verify my transaction is invalid. There is no other solution/proof that the money left them. But the bank claims that no refund request was issued from them...

So, keep in mind that you will never receive the money for the products you send as a return, from this terribly bad Chinese company!

Shopping through TEMU is like spinning a Roulette wheel. I have made about 10 purchases in the last 6 months. One purchase arrived a month late, another item I bought did not arrived and when I checked, it showed it had not shipped so I contacted the seller and was told the item was no longer available. Three times I purchased items only to find out shipping would be delayed by several weeks. Today I received a package that was to contain 35 panels of decorative garden fence however it only contained 10 panels. The seller showed item was no longer available so I have to repackage and bring item to delivery company to return then wait for refund while once again shopping around for item. Of purchases that have arrived on time and as advertised quality has been mixed. I'm done with TEMU and would not recommend.

Tip for consumers:
TEMU wants pictures of the item you are wanting to return and tries to get you to take a store credit instead of a refund to your payment source.

Products used:
Mostly gardening items and shirts.

I purchased a pair of shoes at $12.65 and received a wrong size (too large to wear) in Jun. 2024. I requested a "free return" and I received a $4.66 refund in July, 12th. I contacted the help center, and the real person agent told me that the $7.99 deductible is for the shipping fees. I argued that shipping fees should be showed before the return starts, not after. As a result, the help center didn't issue the refund of shipping fees.

I recommend you not to purchase from this APP if your time is more valuable than the cheap price. TEMU is designed for those housewives, retired people who have no work, no income. I am a working class. After purchasing and returning a hundred of items on this website, I decided to quit.

This APP is not reliable. They do not have credibility to trust with. Sneakily charging customers the shipping fees is not the American way in doing E-Commerce. Temu should be banned. I would continue to file complaints with BBB and other government regulatory agencies.

Tip for consumers:
Be aware if you have time to kill, you can try Temu for returning their products. I returned 75% of what I purchased. It was very stressful because I am a full time employee and full time student. The price saved is not worth the time I spent on shopping and returning.

This was the worst customer service ever. I was never told it would cost me 7.99 to return an item. If I had of known that then I would of kept the item. I didn't want to use my credit on shipping it back to your company. I am very disappointed in this experience and will not recommend your company to anyone. I should have received my credit back due to not being notified of your plans. Worst experience. Then when I asked to talk to a manager I was told I couldn't. Not acceptable.

In October of 2023 I was willing to give Temu a try. This was due to a lot of positive "feedback" claiming they were a decent site with really good deals. The first order I placed was for several items, some of which I only ordered because in order for the "Free Shipping", you have to spend a certain amount. Out of my order, one item was not there. I was sent an empty box for it instead. I reached out to Temu who apologized and offered me a refund for the $5 item. Hours later I was sent an emailstating that I had a credit at Temu for the $5.19, not an actual refund. If I ordered the item again I would just have to spend more than that for shipping, so I gave up. Move forward to August 2024. I decided, after multiple emails warning me about my credit at Temu, to give them another chance. This time, one of the items that I purchased was a building block set. The item was clearly advertised as a very specific set, with multiple photos showing the set being of a specific size (size was clearly shown in metric and standard), showing the buildings in it being of a specific detail and size, and even showed an overhead view clearly showing the layout and number of buildings. I placed my order and ended up having to wait the full 10 days for it to arrive, only to be sent a smaller, cheaper knockoff of what I ordered. I went to the Temu site, was only offered a refund and not the item I ordered and paid for, so I reach out to "support". Now, it has only been minutes since I received my package, and mere moments since I had gone to their site to try and get this resolved. Their agent informs me that since the refund (that I never asked for) is already complete, I will have to order again if I want the item. Now, I still don't have my money, and even if I did I would now have to pay for shipping on an item that they have already pulled a bait and switch with me on. This company claims that customers are important, but they have shown that only committing fraud is important. If you choose to order anything from Temu, be aware that if you get what you ordered you will be lucky. I will be taking all of this and submitting it to the FTC Consumer Protection, this company should not be allowed to do business in any country if all they are doing is scamming customers out of their money.
Someone from TEMU puts a response here to contact them through the website or app, but when I go there, I only have options to look at my order or leave feedback. So...they intentionally make it nearly impossible to actually speak to anyone. This is just a really bad company, my advice is to avoid them.

Tip for consumers:
Company pulls bait and switch tactics, and forces supposed refunds to prevent having to deliver what they actually advertised and sold.

Living in Montreal, I bought an outside bicycle storage tent in February. It was not until Spring when I was able to open to attempt to use product. Which puts me out of the 90 day return window.

I unfortunately discovered it is defective, as it is missing three places for the poles to fit that are meant to support it. Particularly what I paid even if were not defective would have been disappointing. When I went to leave a review for the purchase, the Temu.com site would not permit me to upload a photo.

With much editing, I was able to upload a photo here. Second picture uploaded here is the picture from the Temu.com site for comparison. Buyer beware...

Tip for consumers:
A very disappointing first and perhaps last purchase with Temu.com. Very involved and time consuming process to leave a review. Undoubtedly to discourage people sharing experiences as this....

Products used:
Did use. Product defective. I could not refund as more than 90 days had passed between purchase and opening package to discover product is defective.

I've always believed TEMU cops a bad rap. Sure there's some hit and miss, but in my case it's mostly a hit and then some. I've lost count of how many compliments I've received, especially TEMU'S. I received so many compliments in regard to my snow boots I purchased three more pairs in different colours! TEMU'S customer service is also exceptional and has that same warmth and fuzzy feeling reminiscent of my magnificent snow boots. That was until today. TODAY I RECEIVED THE WORST MOST PATRONIZING SORRY EXCUSE FOR SO-CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE. I have been ill spending time in hospital and to past the time I shopped. I ordered a leather skirt which wasn't leather which didn't bother me but it had creases that wouldn't budge and to was far too long fory five foot tall tiny self. I have spent THOUSANDS of dollars and I naively believed that even though the return window had closed TEMU would cut me some slack so to speak. I had lost the bag with the barcode in which the customer service representative kept ignoring me simply banging out automatic responses and offered me a 20,% credit on my next order. When I informed him I didn't find that acceptable he kept barraging me with automatic word salad pertaining to the essential nature of the barcode and other useless information. It was like we were engaged in some demented electronic square dancing where I was the only individual paying attention and he was off in his own world and obviously attempting to be rid of me ASAP! OH BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. When I asked if I could speak to someone else who may able to assist me he REFUSED. To add insult to injury he made a passive aggressive statement, the very rare response which wasn't automated wishing me a wonderful, super day yadda yadda. SURE. I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TAKING MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE

I supposedly recently received two orders from Temu. I only received one and requested a refund for the missing order from Temu.

They asked me to look all over for the missing order, but it still was not found. I told them the shipping service they used loses orders all the time (they have the lowest online rating possible). I showed them how both orders had the same photo of one Temu order in the same position. Just when I thought things were resolved, they suggested I look inside the package for both orders together.

This would be 11 items, and they wouldn't all fit. They suggested this twice.

I even reached out to Temu and PDD leadership about this out of frustration. My family is a good customer of theirs, and we have recommended Temu to countless others, both online and offline.
I was told several times by Temu they would resolve my situation via their escalation team within 24 hours and they do not. I keep getting what looks like an AI response which doesn't resolve my situation. I just got Thank you for reaching out to the Temu Customer Service Team. We're pleased to be able to connect with you. It's always a pleasure to serve you, and we're grateful for the opportunity to meet your needs.

Verified purchase

I have placed close to 75 orders with Temu. I has few problems and the past 6 orders have been nightmare with shipping. I have liked the company and their 1st line of Customer Service tries to be helpful and if the problem is escalated nothing happens no way to influence the shipping issues. I have NOT had problems with most products and the couple I have no issues with refunds. I placed two orders. You can not pay for expedite shipping with electronics in States so that order was the 2nd order I placed. (Interestingly enough the 2nd order has already shipped.) I chose expedite shipping since I have had issues recently ( things like 6 days being handed over after clearing customs, 6 days to pack order, missed Father's day gift though due no later than 13th showed up 20th of June) I paid 12.90 US for it to arrive between 2nd and 8th of July. Reported to them on 29th of June that it was still being packed ( virtual agent who escalated it. A useless thing in my experience) and phoned today to let them know status has not changed. The order is still being gathered. He explained that some items were out of stock now and they were holding the order. I requested they just cancel those items out of stock and just ship. Nope they can't do that. 🙅‍ The offer of 13.00 would be given if it doesn't arrive by 8th. Darn straight it will that is just a refund of my expedited shipping. I live in rural Maine so it won't be here even of it is shipped out today, which isn't happening. The Customer Service people on front line offered me a 5.00 credit. Which after spending so much time on my last few orders I won't be using. I will maybe try in a few months and right now I am done with this. Hopefully they will get it back together..

Tip for consumers:
Customer Service first response people are great AND they are powerless to influence outcome. Once escalated it is useless

Tout c'est toujours bien passé sauf quand je commande le 14 juin 2024 et que nous sommes le 17 juillet 2024. Pas de livraison, pas d'information, j'attends toujours alors que la commande est payée depuis plus d'un mois.
Impossible de joindre quelqu'un! On est dans le flou, l'attente sans fin!
