      I have been trying to return some oversized packages that were sent to me and two separate shipments for over a week. I cant get a person on the phone. Ive only been able to communicate via chat and each time Im told the same thing I have to use one label then they said it was escalated more than once. I have to continually follow up. Nobody seems to understand that I cannot return two boxes on one label. *** came to pick them up and they would not accept them being taped together. I simply need two labels so I can return the items and get my money back.The packages came in two separate boxes delivered by *****. When I initially processed the request for a return and refund, I was sent one label and advised to put both items in one box. I cant do that, and I have spent an enormous amount of time via the Temu.com chat trying to get this resolved. I have no more energy for it.

      It started the beginning of June.I ordered a few item's from TEMU.that was fine. I was injured and I couldn't walk . So I ordered an Mobility Scooter for myself, The total was ******. My daughter has a disability so she bought it from me. So I ordered another Scooter thinking it was going to be like the first one we kept. Unfortunately it was defected and it kept on turning off. So I needed to return it. I didn't know where to send it back. A few day's later . FED X brought me a different Scooter which I did order to replace the defected Scooter. I thought Fed X would take the defected Scooter back. They said I needed to Contact TEMU directly. I couldn't find a number I could call. The next day I started getting pkgs from TEMU. They started coming everyday. A few days later. The Fed X truck came by. They had 3 more Mobility Scooter's on their truck. All blue. It said it on the outside of the box. I refused them. I told Fed X I'm going to take pictures on each box with serial numbers. They now treated me like their warehouse. I am not a warehouse . I had to cancel my credit cards. They had charged me over $***** dollar's on my credit card without my permission. I never save my credit cards on anyone website. So now I have over a ***** bill from my credit card that I didn't purchase.This is Fraudulent charges. Also a major scam.I need action. My credit company is trying to charge me for these item's that I don't even have. SEVEN MOBILITY SCOOTER 'S. I HAVE 2 PLUS THE ONE I NEED TO RETURN THAT IS DEFECTED. WHAT RECORSE DO I HAVE.I'm recently retired I didn't even get my money yet. I shouldn't be responsible for item's I didn't order especially when I'm getting two and three of the same item.

      I purchased an Item with Temu on aug 4. On Aug 11, I received a call from ****** delivery driver saying my parcel was ready (as I was not home, I asked him to please leave inside the building. I even told him to not leave outside as people can steal). He told me all was good, and he left inside the building. When I arrived home, an hour later from the call, there was a package from my husband (as he had also purchased items from Temu) but not my parcel. I opened a ticked with UniUni on Aug 11 (by calling them), and they sent me by email a proof of delivery (which clearly states another persons name and apartment number). ****** said they opened an investigation that day as the proof of delivery is invalid or unclear (their words). They asked me for up to 48h to conduct investigation. Today, Aug 15 (more than 48h later), I called them (waited 30mins on the line). The support person, ******, told me its still under investigation. I explained to her that it has been more time than theyve asked, and also told her I asked Temu for reimbursement, but Temu declined reimbursement as they said my parcel has been delivered by UniUni. I also asked ****** if she could transfer/escalate my case to a supervisor, as I would like to understand who will reimburse me as my parcel was not delivered (and maybe is lost?) She put me on hold, and then explained no supervisor was available. I explained to her my next step would be opening a complain with Better Business Bureau, and she promised me a supervisor would call me tomorrow! I have proof on email of the photos of incorrect parcel delivered, the emails saying the timeline it would be resolved, and email from me following up with UniUni, with no response! Hope they will take this serious now! Thank you,

      I am filing a complaint against Temu for failing to reimburse me for significant expenses incurred returning completly and obviously incorrect, heavy items (45" x 34" x 8", 91 lbs each) they sent, despite repeated promises of reimbursement. This has caused financial hardship for my family.On 6/4/24, I ordered two fork attachments from Curio Corner on Temu, expecting four packages (plates and fork arms). Tracking showed only two items, and the listing was altered to "forks only," suggesting they intended to send me only the fork arms and not plates which became evident when i was delivered something else completly unrelated to my order, because it shows miscommunication within from seller requesting warehouse to seperate an item that is not sold separately. Despite this is we are all sons of God so I offered a very generous offer to help seller cut losses but he declined.On 6/22, Temu provided a 14-day return shipping label, keeping my money until after inspection, contingent on item condition despite pre-existing damage, as seen in photos. Finding boxes for such large items was impossible locally and online offered only custom orders with minimums of >$400 and too slow. I advised Temu to send have seller send me boxes but was declined and promised reimbursement via Temu credit. After local *** Stores declined due to size and label issues 1 recommended a custom crate maker, *** **********, and for two wooden crates $240. Temu confirmed reimbursement once again before I proceeded.I shipped the items on 7/1, delivered 7/7. After 6 days inspection Temu finally refunded my original payment on 7/12 but closed the case without addressing reimbursement. In disputes, Temu repeatedly requested the same receipts and photos (attached), closing cases without resolution despite my compliance. Their delayed replies of repetitive requests and need for immediate response seem designed to exhaust me. As a father of two with a 3rd due in November, I can't afford this. Pleased help

      On June 13, 2025, I purchased four items from Temu (Order No. PO-211-*****************) totaling $82.04. Two of these items were the same product, and each box was supposed to contain 50 units (total of 100 units). However, when the package arrived, one box contained only 47 units and the other only 49 units, resulting in a shortage from the beginning.Due to the long shipping time, I opened the products for use and quickly discovered that the items were completely different from the online description. The quality was extremely poor, and the products were essentially single-use only. Specifically, they were adhesive products meant to stick to walls, but once removed, they broke into fragments and could not be reused.I immediately contacted Temu customer service to ************ initial shortage of items (missing units);2.The defective and misleading product quality;3.The impossibility of returning the products in original condition, since they were misrepresented and not reusable. Despite my explanations, Temus customer service repeatedly insisted that I must return the items in original condition to qualify for a refund. I still acted in good faith by returning the remaining items to Temus warehouse, paying additional packaging costs myself.Instead of processing my refund, Temu gave inconsistent excuses: at one point denying that the return was received, and at another point claiming that the returned items were not the original products. In both cases, Temu refused my refund request.This behavior is unreasonable, unfair, and harmful to consumers.Reason for Complaint Temus actions constitute:False advertising and misrepresentation of products;Delivery of incorrect quantities (shortage on arrival);Poor product quality, rendering them unusable after a single use;Unreasonable enforcement of return policies to deny legitimate refund requests;Unfair and deceptive business practices in violation of U.S. consumer protection standards

      I was sent a wrong item, so I contacted seller. They told me that they knew they sent me wrong item and made up lie that correct item was not allowed in my country. It is and I have ordered it before. It is illegal to knowingly send item other than what I purchased without first informing me about changes to order and giving me the option to keep alternative item or cancel. The seller then agreed that they were in the wrong and agreed to ship correct item. But they never did and have stopped responding. I contacted Temu customer service and they refused to help. They had the nerve to demand I ship back wrong item back and pay for shipping. That is completely against the law the commit bait and switch fraud and then have me take a loss because of it. I sent screenshot of seller admitting they sent me wrong item.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
