False advertisement
April 3, 2023

Yesterday, 3/2/2023, I saw an ad for Temu on my Moovit public transport app. The main message of the advertisement was that new users of the Temu mobile app may receive 3 free products of their choosing along with free shipping. Thus, believing it to be authentic, I clicked on it. I download the Temu App, then I select the three items I want to receive for free. But before you get all the items, you have to play a Hat Trick Draw game.
During the game, I was able to easily win the first two items, but every time I got to the last one on the hat trick game, I miraculously run out of energy points, and then they said I must invite friends in order to gain more energy to draw again, which leads me to believe that the game has been rigged.
But because I was determined to win all three items, I spent a total of two days attempting to invite as many friends as I could in order to accumulate enough energy points to draw and win my final item. However, I soon realized I had wasted my time and effort after Temu informed me that all three of the items I had selected were out of stock. (They said this after I won all three items).
They didn't even let me pick three other items that weren't out of stock; they just claimed it wasn't in stock where I was, and that was it. I genuinely wasted both my time and sleep. I deserve to know why Temu scammed me this way. I followed their instructions, so where are my freebies?

Another order debacle Thx Temu
November 6, 2023
Updated review

GUESS I HAVE NOW LEARNED A LESSON TEMU IS A REALLY SLICK OUTFIT,
First time order had some issues customer service was responsive after that first call I have found it all but impossible to actually be able to speak to Temu! Order today had damaged items (so did prior orders) Chat is available but for me a novice to both my ipad & iphone I really needed to speak to someone order today #PO**************131 items damaged and the incense actually made me gag! Non touch thermometer did not work with new batteries ipad stand scratched I am writing this review to pay it forward don't waste your time or money especially if your young I am a retired Physical therapist and even though I can afford Temu I can no longer use Temu it's a total drag to buy stuff only to receive some junky damaged items! Not being able to speak to their customer service is beyond frustrating it borders on a form of unethical store policy! What a really unpleasant experience Temu is a wretched disgraceful buying experience! Just pass Temu by other online retailers are offering great savings and they have good customer service!

A slick company

Initially found customer service to be responsive either by chat & phone this was for my first two orders and always used Paypal! Recently efforts to reach Temu service has been unsuccessful and frustrating this includes their Chat & phone number! Temu is a disgusting company and here is why Temu phone service is endlessly a long if not impossible wait which is exactly what Temu has set up most customers simply give up and who can blame them? Stay safe and stay away from this scam company! Save your money and save your sanity!

I had my first order and it all went well, the item description was accurate and the material expected, for shipping they used UNIUNI and it arrived in about 5 days after shipping. However, on the second order they used STRAIGHTSHIP and it appeared they "mislabeled the package as delivered", so it was stuck at the straightship warehouse. Upon contacting TEMU they assured me that the package will be delivered. On the last day of Temu appointed delivery, the package was magically "DELIVERED". However my phone never rang, and no picture of the delivery was available. Spoke to Temu and the item was reshipped on the 30th of December with STRAIGHTSHIP, package was not even delivered to the apartment but thrown in the lobby. Will not be using Temu again unless they change courier to another company that is not Straightship.

TUMU is a fair company for some great items. I have had a store in the past & seriously they have a lot of good items to order for resale. If you design your own jewelry & have family projects so the students can design earrings & sell them for profit; then this is a decent fair company to buy from. & it beats buying from the gift shows where you'd pay 6 to 10 times the prices on findings. & their jewelry of broach pins. My post is real as my review & name. I am an ex columnist as well. Ahough dome garments may not be as we expected; but TUMU definitely makes up for it on some great extremely fair items. I & some of my local & out of state business affiliates researched this site agreed, this company has a great stuff in it & they didn't have to drive to Orlando to buy products for resale when they can simply & patiently read & look over all of TUMU 's merchandise. As for the shipments being late. We had no issues with it. We also had a Fedex tracking number. A lot of times Fedex workers might have went to the wrong house; as this was done to one of my friends in Melbourne. The lady recently kept the package & because she felt she could. I've had fedex asks me if I'd keep a neighbors package& sign for it is myit & when that person came home could I take it to them ….I told the driver in the past that not my business & I said: NO! Early Last year ab abundance of packages where found in the woods somewhere. You might have seen this on tv. It happened & could you imagine all the people complaining & blaming companies in case they ordered. Gifts for their love ones. I like to tell it like it is … give this company a chance. So far we are impressed …we are saving money for some great gifts as well as discounted supplies for our students for their crafts so they can make products & earn money for school functions.
