      I purchased some items from this website on October 25 2024 and they sent me a message that my packages were delivered to a parcel locker room. But that is not my address as well I explained to them that im disabled and don't have the ability to get out much. Which is the reason why I order from there facility..and they said that it shows up as being delivered. But on my end it says delivered to locker room. And again my address is not the locker room. As they also are saying that there is nothing you they can do

      The business was contracted via phone (unable to speak with a live person) and via email. I initially received a response assuring me that my package would be delivered but after a week went by, I did not receive my package or the refund requested. The issue is lack of communication, only attempting to deliver my package one time and not simply calling when the driver didnt have a way into the hallway.

      Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. We have checked your order details and found that you have initiated a dispute on the order, therefore your payment has been stopped by your payment channel. As a result, we are unable to process any after-sale matters at this time. Please wait patiently for the outcome of the dispute, as the processing of the dispute depends on ****** or your payment channel. We recommend that you keep track of the bank's refund status, as it may take some time for them to process it. We appreciate your patience during this process. If your chargeback has been unsuccessful, you can still apply for after-sales service on our company. Our customer service department has also offered you an explanation through an app message on Nov 2. Please check your Temu account for more details and respond correspondingly if you have any other requests regarding this matter.

      I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding an unacceptable delivery experience I had with ordering from Temu involving their delivery service, Speedx.On October ******* my order SPX6GE056801483566 was delivered in a highly unprofessional manner. The driver was captured on camera throwing my package from a distance to my door. This behavior not only jeopardizes the condition of the items but also reflects poorly on your companys standards of service. It is particularly disappointing to see that Temu continues to use ****** for deliveries, despite numerous complaints regarding their drivers' practices. It raises concerns about the commitment to customer satisfaction and the quality of service provided.I request that you investigate this matter and take appropriate action. I also seek a full refund for my order due to the mishandling of my delivery. I can provide a video of driver mishandling my order if needed. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue.

      I purchased a pergola from Temu.com. According to the description of the product, it was supposed to have "All-Weather Durability: The Durable Design Stands Up To Wind, Rain, And Sun, ************************ Lasts Season After Season."Upon the completion of installation, I discovered the pergola to be extremely unstable, poorly designed as it kept tilting forward and moved violently even during light wind (early Fall winds in ********). I consulted a ********* friend about bolting it directly to the siding and property walls but it seemed like it required multiple fasteners and there was a serious risk of damage to the property due to the tilt and weight. It was also a major safety hazard as it was installed on a deck that is on 2nd floor.Based on Temu's return policy: If you are not satisfied with what you bought on Temu, you may be eligible to return it and get a refund by following the simple procedure set out in this Return and Refund Policy, I initiated the return ********** took me a full day to disassemble the pergola in original packaging and when I took it to **** *** refused to accept the provided shipping label from Temu as I needed 2 labels for the two boxes.I contacted Temu and they asked me to cancel the return so they can help on their end. After nearly 5 days, there is no resolution and when I try to contact Temu, I get generic messages that my inquiry has been forwarded to internal department for verification. I am uncertain what is being verified as I am simply not satisfied with a defective product and I am trying to return it .Purchase Confirmation: Oct 12 Delivered: Oct 16 Return process initiated: Oct 18

      Hello Ahmad,

      I am ******* from Temu.com. I'm writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I've provided the BBB with a copy of this message.

      Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. We have checked your order details and found that you have initiated a dispute on the order, therefore your payment has been stopped by your payment channel. As a result, we are unable to process any after-sale matters at this time. Please wait patiently for the outcome of the dispute, as the processing of the dispute depends on ****** or your payment channel. We recommend that you keep track of the bank's refund status, as it may take some time for them to process it. We appreciate your patience during this process. If your chargeback has been unsuccessful, you can still apply for after-sales service on our company.

      Our customer service department has also emailed you and offered you an explanation through an email ticket on Oct 30. Please check your inbox for more details and respond correspondingly if you have any other requests regarding this matter.

      Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us and we are constantly working to improve our service quality. If you need further assistance, please message us through Temu.com or Temu app live chat.
