I was a regular shopper until…

I was a regular shopper on Temu and generally happy. Yes they sell some tat but that's part of the draw. Until recently I never had the need to ask for a refund. However after purchasing a tattoo printer for £26 from a UK based company it never materialised. I received a highly dubious email stating delivery was successful with a proof of delivery attachment. The attachment was a PDF with a few meaningless lies saying delivery was successful. Computer typed text. No handwritten note. No photograph proving delivery.

Quite rightly I asked for a refund. This was rejected first by the company then secondly by Temu.
They asked me to prove it was not delivered. How? Take a photo of my front door without a Temu package on it??? Should the onus not be on them to prove delivery?

So Temu and their affiliate company have basically found a way of stealing money through an e-commerce platform. It's disgusting practice and shameful. I've removed Temu as an app and will not be using them again. Likewise my partner and daughter have done the same.

Be very careful when dealing with this firm. They have no ethics or proper return/refund policies

TEMU on the slippery slope?

My previous reviews of TEMU have been very positive but as companies change and procedures change there is usually a decline. This review details that downturn.

When TEMU created one order and everything came by plane into Madrid normally in one package everything was like clockwork.

Prices were known and TEMU logistics did a great job putting the order together. If there were any delays it was with the delivery companies in Spain who are notoriously sloppy.
Occasionally customs seemed to go into sleep mode for a few days.

However TEMU deliveries were in most instances singled out for a good job. Money and quantity seems to have an advantage.

The EU started charging €3 on every single item so suddenly bills in some cases could double and small items cost more by sometimes 600%.

This is allegedly temporary but when the public are being fleeced this will be a long term demand to increase the non elected officials slush fund. It still exists now.

The single order is no longer “all delivered free, if any item is LOCAL (not from China). This is resulting in goods being bulk ordered in China and re sold on TEMU as on Amazon at a higher price.

Identical items sent from Spain and a delivery charge added (€2.99 +) by the seller who is often Chinese.

It seems that the likes of Dyson and Gillette to name just two are now also using TEMU like an arm of Amazon. Same goods.

So how do you avoid the scams. Firstly avoid purchasing local items, check prices and small print delivery charges.

If the separated item goes missing it’s a nightmare resolving the issue and refund.

To avoid the “alleged TEMPORARY” customs trap avoid buying single items as all get an additional €3 fee. If for instance you buy six items in six colours of the same shoes or T-shirts it’s only €3 so €15 cheaper despite the cost of the item.

I recently bought every colour of a sports shoe which was only €14 expecting short life and they are the most comfortable general purpose gym/casual trainers I have ever owned.

6 pairs for less than my last 1 branded pair purchase. NB: I would not buy for competition use such as marathons etc. due to worries about stability and cushioning potential issues.

TEMU used to be great and cheap enough to speculate a bit but the model has made that less worthwhile and often total madness.

Buyers beware.

I ordered some puzzles and they are of extremely poor quality. They are so thin they dont stay in place and all you need to do is slightly touch one piece and several others fall out.
The poster that comes with it is about a quater of the size of the actual puzzle and therefore it is very difficult to see where they fit, even with a magnifying glass!
The pieces have location numbers on the back but the poster does not, a great help.
Would never buy puzzles from them again. But I would say other things I have bought are fine.
Thank you.

Not a good company to buy from

Not a good company to buy from - particularly with Customer Services in respect of Returns. Ordered on 17 August and still waiting for a Returns Label (wrong size) despite numerous requests (Order ID: PO-186-10068656763513571). No meaningful responses from either Temu or Seller. I do not understand how companies like Amazon can send a return label within minutes and a full refund within a matter of hours following return. What is their difficulty? A great deal of time wasted. Use PayPal with them if possible.

I purchased an item:
Order ID: PO-037-04738045235832510. Unfortunately, I wasn't entirely satisfied this time. Customer service responded immediately and very generously refunded the entire amount, without even deducting the shipping costs. I can highly recommend Temu.

Poor quality

I have been ordering from Temu for years. To me, the quality of the merchandise is no longer high quality merchandise. II have had to return so many items that I think I will no longer be a loyal customer.

Temu is a total scam I ordered some…

I am writing a complain as I am very disappointed by the temu Formal Complaint Regarding Misleading Promotion and Unexpected ChargesI am writing to formally complain about my recent experience with Temu and what I believe was a highly misleading promotional offer that resulted in multiple charges to my international credit card.I was offered a promotion to “draw your lucky card” and was told that I had won 9 free gifts. I selected the gifts according to the options provided by Temu. After that, I was instructed to start playing with customers and complete different activities in order to pack and receive the gifts.During the process, I was repeatedly asked to obtain energy, select items, complete additional steps, invite friends/energy, and answer a quiz. Each time I completed the requested activity, the progress continued until it reached approximately 99%.At that point, the nature of the promotion changed completely.Instead of receiving the gifts that had been presented as free, I was suddenly required to select items that involved charges. I selected items according to my budget, believing that this was part of the promotion. However, Temu then deducted money item by item. I was not given a clear opportunity to simply select a free gift or a short/low-cost option. Instead, I was presented with charged options.I was using an international credit card, and the amount was deducted three separate times. Because these were international transactions, I am also expecting additional foreign transaction charges, taxes, and international service fees from my bank.I immediately contacted customer service to explain the situation and request a proper resolution. Unfortunately, my experience with customer service was extremely disappointing.
I spoke with Estrella, Jaiseme, Ibrahim, and Jasmine during this process. Instead of providing a clear and timely solution, I was repeatedly asked to wait and was transferred through different representatives.In particular, Jasmine kept me waiting for approximately two hours and later said that he was trying to escalate the matter to higher management. If the matter required escalation from the beginning, I do not understand why I was made to wait for such a long period without a meaningful update.Estrella identified herself as being at a high level of customer service, but I found her communication highly unprofessional and her handling of the complaint unsatisfactory. I spent approximately four hours dealing with customer service without receiving an appropriate resolution.Ibrahim also failed to provide a meaningful solution and instead mentioned trying to compensate me with 60 QAR, which does not adequately address the financial loss or the additional charges that I may incur. Eventually
I was offered refund for 3 trans which I made there was no solution however I am waiting for my bank finally statement I used international credit card. I am waiting for finally bill with taxes and service charges I there are bunch of scammers they should think before providing and promoting and the ceo of temu is he rally good with scam. Shame on these peopl

Advertised $1 per referral, paid $0.01 — and support admits they can't fix it

I joined TEMU's "Invite Friends & Get 3 Free Gifts" promotion, worth S$70.33. I referred multiple people and support confirmed in writing that all of my referrals were successful. But the reward per referral — represented as $1 — dropped without warning to $0.50, then $0.20, then $0.08, then $0.01, leaving me stuck at S$70.12 of S$70.33 with no way to close the last 21 cents, no matter how many people I referred.

I spent close to three hours across three separate chat sessions with different agents, all repeating scripted, contradictory answers. None could tell me how many more referrals were needed, even though the system tracks the figure to the cent. One agent admitted outright that "inviting friends may result in a larger amount cut" in the early stages — confirming the reward shrinks by design, something never disclosed when I joined. Another admitted "it can easily look and feel like a scam from the outside." A third told me plainly that support staff have no ability to manually fix it or "force a win."

The only compensation offered was a 20%-off coupon capped at S$20 — which just means spending more money on the platform, not making up for the reward I was promised.

More than half the people I referred told me independently that they thought this was a scam. I don't take that lightly, since I was the one who vouched for the platform to them.

I've filed a formal complaint with CASE (Consumer Association of Singapore) with the full chat transcript as evidence. If you're considering one of these referral "free gift" campaigns, know the rules can shift mid-event without disclosure, and customer service has no power to correct it even when they agree something's wrong.

Advertised $1.84 price became $4.02 in the cart

I tried to purchase an item on Temu that was clearly advertised as “Est. $1.84 after applying promos.” Based on that displayed price, I added the item to my cart.

Once it was in my cart, however, the price suddenly became $4.02 after applying promos for the exact same item and quantity.

I have screenshots showing both prices. The product page says $1.84 after promos, while the cart says $4.02 after promos. That's more than 2x the price I was shown when deciding to buy the product.

I contacted Temu customer support expecting them to either honor the displayed promotional price or provide a reasonable explanation for the discrepancy. Unfortunately, support did not resolve the issue.

I understand that promotions can have conditions, but customers should be able to rely on the price displayed on a product page—especially when it specifically says “after applying promos.” If additional conditions prevent that price from being honored, they should be clearly disclosed before the customer adds the product to their cart.

This experience seriously damaged my trust in Temu's advertised pricing.

1 star. I have screenshots documenting the price difference.

Buyer Beware

This is my last review, as I WILL be deleting my account with them, after I solve my problem with "Smart Life Factory" if they decide to use Temu, as a mediator. They caused my charge card to be blocked TWICE, in just TWO WEEKS.

They have one of the most deceitful trick of them all: in both times, I pushed the botton to check what I have in my basket and, all of the sudden, "thank you for your order". Even my bank doubted the sales and didn't do for my other orders.

FROM NOW ON, I ADVISE YOU TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU DECIDE TO BUY SOMETHING.

Worst quality around, scam promotions

It has to be the worse quality around, and their promotions are just the biggest scam ever.
I got a refund of $40coupon to spend in store. The only way to use it, was to spend $40 first.
So had to buy $80 worth of crap to get my $40 off.
So it wasn’t a refund.
