Customer feedback regarding Temu highlights a significant divide in user experiences. While some shoppers appreciate the broad product variety, low price points, and generally efficient delivery, a large number of reviewers express frustration with promotional mechanics, citing unfulfilled offers and confusing qualification terms. Additionally, recurring concerns regarding inconsistent item quality and difficulties with customer support indicate that buyers should exercise caution, carefully verify product details, and manage expectations when shopping on the platform.
Bought a mattress through temu and when tracking delivery which was supposed to be 16/10/26/22/10/26 and seeing that it still had not shipped on the 16/10/26 contacted them I was told it was because they were so busy and to rest assured that my package would be shipped asap, what a load of garbage because when I checked on the 17/10/26 I see a… Read more
message that they have no one to deliver to my address and that was the reason for the item not being shipped so I cancel the order , now the best part they advise me that the seller has to review my cancellation request where a matter of fact they should have done that when they could not deliver instead of deceiving me
Temu dont care if they stuff your order or lose it they always pass the blame on to the courier they dont care about their customers its all a money grab their delivery times are shocking temu should be shut down permanently

Look at this drone. Can't even do a 5 minute fly and now it can't fly any more. It was stressful time to just buy what you need with all their distraction, games, spins etc. And now, this drone didn't complete 8 flights. Just stay away and buy local. Managed to get refund.

Team, we have a new policy where they give you a partial refund for absolute trash stuff. That I bought a jacket for $50. I thought it would be better, but it’s worse. They only offered me $19.95 I think. Or they just get an ask the higher ups that always deny your refund consistently. I should know I’ve been shopping there long enough but no more no more Shopping there not for me.

Look at conversation from Temu. Edited review! Scammed by Temu! They say to contact them direct and I will copy page and will place on here if I can. They keep directing you to find adad for free tablet which is impossible! Then they say press on to it again to get free tablet… so they make more money and you do not get your tablet… scam!!!

Well I received the 30.48 meter heavy duty hose relatively quickly, yet still haven't received the goods that I actually paid for - see the hose was… Read more · 2
one of 3 that originally were supposed to be a free gift, the 2nd one I haven't seen nor heard of and the 3rd one appears to have been taken back - all too early to tell and frankly it's all very confusing but from what I have since been able to make out you'll get these free gifts if you actually buy enough other stuff to qualify. As for the hose, my wife likes it but it's not 30.48 meters - lucky to be half that in fact though it can stretch - but not to 30 meters plus, and as for heavy duty - time will tell but I have my doubts
Follow-up · Well, good news, the hose is amazing, quite different than the usual ones. It's light and easy to manage and actually expands when you turn the water on . It just keeps getting longer, and shrinks when you turn off the water pressure. It was actually longer than advertised. We'll probably buy another one. This one was actually a give away… Read more
Follow-up · Temu are actually not that bad afterall. The hose is great, though some of the other stuff I've since donated. The trick is to know what you want, fully read the description before ordering and avoid getting caught up with the various promotions, … Read more
Go ahead and buy from TEMU if you are prepared to a) loose your money, b) negotiate only via BOTS (there are no human assistants) c) be prepared to send you the wrong item (twice, for that matter in my case), and d) there is no way one is able to rectify situations like that.------Go ahead and buy!

I have had totally positive transactions with Temu. All too often we like to complain and rarely compliment. 4 years of purchases with only a few mishaps! So don’t be afraid to deal and don’t be afraid to reject and return if required. Show reply

Having been an avid customer with Temu for years, I now find their way of processing orders somewhat misleading. They advertise free items with qualifying orders, but fail to list free items on customers order page. Customers can also not deal directly with Temu staff to report problems, instead getting AI responses. Temu is sadly slipping down the ladder of good service and honest advertising. Show details · 1
I'm quite happy with my Temu Flannelette Hoodie Jackets. They're light enough to wear over a short sleeve or long sleeve tshirt, or just over a tank top with leggings. Very happy considering I'm going through menopause. Show reply
Negative reviews
I bought 7 ladies tops from Temu. They were all unsuitable due to 1. Not being the same as the photo. 2. Weird cut and sizing. 3. Poor quality fabric. 4. The hassle to return is too much. Very disappointing experience. Would not be buying from them again.

Shoppers be aware. Purchase price is different to check out price. This has happened numerous times on various products. Latest difference was on leather handbags. Purchase price $57.20; opened for further product details price $41.30; added to cart, under impression bag was $41.30; went to cart to check out and price $49.12. When queried Bot… Read more
gave some poor excuse. Always check price in cart before checking out. I think it's dishonest and sneaky.

Warning to Loyal Shoppers: Deceptive Return Policy Changes & The Coupon Trap!!! I have been a loyal, high-volume customer of Temu since 2024, spending thousands of dollars on their platform. Historically, they were transparent, reliable, and used Australia Post. However, they have recently shifted to highly deceptive, anti-consumer practices. … Read more
1.They have downgraded their logistics to low-tier couriers like J&T Express to cut costs, resulting in delivery disasters & falsified "delivered" scans.
2.They have completely ruined their return process. When you try to log a return in the app, the system immediately tries to trick you into accepting an unfair package of expiring vouchers instead of a full, transparent refund. If you decline their low-ball offer because you want to proceed with a real return, the app blocks you entirely and forces you into a "contact customer service" ticket loop designed to stonewall you.
Be warned about the voucher trap: Even if you think vouchers are harmless because you plan to shop again, they have strict expiry dates. Crucially, if you use that voucher on a new order and need to return a low-quality item from that batch later, the voucher cannot be reinstated unless you return the entire new order. They intentionally use this loop to destroy your refund value.
Their invoices are labyrinthine to hide item pricing, and their support agents deliberately refuse to state exact refund figures once you are in the chat.
I had to freeze my funds via a PayPal dispute just to get an honest response. I am winding down my account and stopping all business with Temu permanently once my remaining orders arrive. AVOID!!!!

Absolutely no customer service. I tried to complain about the following. We live in a gated complex in Australia and instead of the lazy delivery people coming in our complexe and leaving it at our unit door the lazy person threw it over the entrance gates so anyone could steal it.

inexpensive products are a dodgy Asian company they now have my address, phone no and bank numbers . I say this as i saw a drone and bought it for $40 what a bargain until it told me to scan the qr codes it would work my phone went haywire my phone was invaded with a virus and cost me $75 to get it fixed when I went to my purchases list guess what no drone had been bought so I could not complain at all. So buyer beware !! So I will not purchase anymore . P.s I'm also getting phone calls from all over the world how strange .

I was notified i had learnt a $320 reward as I was a high purchasing customer. I followed the instructions to link my PayPal account to withdraw the cash and recieved a verification code from Temu and successfully entered it. Then the app stopped any further progress and would not allow the selection of the withdraw option as it remained greyed out. I have tried several time and all have been unsuccessful. Temu it appears you lie.

I would recommend never buying from Temu, they are dishonest and misleading customers with their promotions. They make promises of free gifts without providing visibility of what purchases etc that are required. Very deceptive conduct. Have cancelled my account and will never use again. Show details

I just want to invite this real scammer customer service team to challenge the scam manager to prove their fraud and show that fake stuff can be sold on the app and that customers are being cheated with fake responses from them.

is returning to this terrible Temu online shopping experience. I bought the angle grinder and it was second hand and not working at all and continue with the Temu team and they refund the money back to them account so it means I have to use the Temu account again and I bought the different brands that sent me without the battery and again I continue with this horrible service that just keeps on the same end of the line and ignoring the fact and misleading the customer and play the mental games that are going around in my head and I’ve got all of my conversation and will update this review soon after I get the temu response to the fact that is why I wrote this review.

Ordered some items online and used credit card to pay. Noticed when entering CVV that their website glitched twice before accepted payment 3rd time which thought very unusual.

protect customer informaation. Reported to Temu concern that credit card hacked and provided details to investigate. Standard AI bot email answers [5 now] that trust us and we're investigating - after 4 days nothing. Have reported to bank. In this age of increased AI and hacking you would think Temu would be concerned with customer privacy and security but action suggests no- so my suggestion BE VERY CAREFUL. Have cancelled account and never again using Temu.

my money $248.10 has been kept by Temu. Their so called investigation a joke as reason for failing to get my refundcwas that I sent back a different product to the one I ordered. HUGE SCAM GOING ON WITH ADVWIN SUPPLIER ON TEMU. I order regularly from Temu, some products excellent and some nothing like photo and description. Temu allow paid returns so never an issue to now. I will now cancel orders not processed yet and return ones that get posted. Purchased under email anniewrites...........
