      My package was stolen after it was delivered by *****. I did not find out until the next day when I saw my email alert 2 hours after it was delivered that it had been delivered. I checked my front porch and asked my brother who lives downstairs if he brought it in. The package was nowhere to be found. My package was stolen. I made a police report, because there is an individual around my area who is attempting to resell the same item. The police is unable to pursue the alleged thief due to not having video footage. I am waiting to hear back from my neighbor as to whether or not her camera caught anyone walking up to my porch and leaving with my package. I don't want a refund. I merely want Temu or the company who shipped the Baby Shower Basin to please file a claim with ***** stating that it was indeed stolen from my porch. I haven't had any issues in the past with my packages being stolen. Neither with ***** as I recently had a large crib delivered to my house a few days later. However, since the baby basin was small enough to care off and large enough to see by anyone walking or driving by this individual was heartless and careless to steal an item from an unborn child. Temu reassured me that they would put in a request to have it reshipped and I received an email after almost talking to someone for an hour on the phone that this request has been denied. They didn't keep their word and/or do their part on submitting a claim for me. I have since installed a camera after this happened so I am able to catch anyone else who is foolish enough to attempt to tamper with any of my mail. Temu, ***** and the third parties they have delivering these items are there to receive a check. I've noticed that they tend to not care, the delivery person has thrown my packages while on camera and ***** didn't bother to ring my doorbell. All I want is for them to reship the item so I may stop doing busy with them any further.Sincerely,***** *****

      I received a sofa damaged. I called immediately and Temu gave me a return label and said they will issue my refund once picked up because it was damaged. I provided them photo evidence when it was delivered showing the damage. *** said that they gave me a bad label and temu is refusing to issue my refund stating they don't have the package back. I didn't prepare the label, Temu did. I have called *** and Temu for an entire week. Temu has never reached out to *** to accept the return and they keep refusing to deal with the issue and provide me with my refund. They are scamming people out of their money and this is fraud.

      The user contacted ********************** support on April 15, 2025, regarding an issue with a referral invitation from their sister for a promotional event. Despite living close to their sister, the support agents insisted that the promotion was unavailable in the user's region. After multiple interactions, the user expressed frustration over the lack of resolution and was offered a $10 credit, which never appeared in their account. The user was later informed by a Senior Specialist that they were not part of the event, despite having registered through the invitation link. After several attempts to resolve the issue, including escalating to higher support levels, the user's request for compensation equal to their sister's lost promotional gifts, totaling $113.64, was ignored. The user found the support experience unsatisfactory and accused Temu of fraudulent practices due to the lack of assistance and resolution. Ultimately, the user demanded the full amount of $113.64 as a credit to their account within three days. The ongoing communication with support was characterized by delays and unhelpful responses, leading to further dissatisfaction with the service.

      I made several purchases on Temu, which included a pair of sandals, a two-piece suit set, and multiple press-on nails sets. On April 8, 2025, I submitted a return request and returned these items according to their guidelines. I was refunded for the sandals, but I have not received refunds for the two-piece suit set and 13 out of the 26 press-on nails that I returned.I have contacted Temu customer service multiple times regarding the issue, but the responses have been generic and automated, and the matter remains unresolved. I have since seen on the Temu app that my refund for these items has been declined without any explanation, which I find frustrating and unsatisfactory.Transaction Details:Date of purchase: April 8, 2025 Items involved: Two-piece suit set, 13 press-on nails (out of 26), sandals (refunded)Order Numbers:PO-075-*****************-D04 PO-075-*****************-D04 Return Request Numbers:Press-on nails: PO-********************-D11 Sandals: PO-075-*****************-D03 Suit set: PO-075-*****************-D03 Nature of the dispute: I am seeking a refund for the suit set and 13 press-on nails that were returned but not refunded.Attempts to resolve the issue: I have contacted Temu several times via their customer service channels and received only generic responses, with no follow-up or resolution. Additionally, Ive been informed via the Temu app that my refund was declined for certain items.Desired resolution: I am requesting a full refund for the suit set and the 13 press-on nails that were not refunded. I expect a prompt resolution from Temu, as I have already made several attempts to resolve this through their official channels without success.Registered Email: ************************

      I placed an order with Temu and the package I received had damage. Several item were missing. Contacted Temu multiple times and each attempt for a refund or reshipping missing items was refused. I would have thought they would have insurances for damaged bags. This isnt he first time Ive had damaged packaging. Many times the items have been damaged, broken, bent, etc. Ive either received a refund or returned the items for credit. This time there are items missing. Im unable to return those, obviously. Not sure if the items were stolen or just fell out. Temu has been very uncooperative. Id like to be refunded for the missing items, please

      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 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.

      I demand a refund for a faulty item I received on 4-17-2025. However, 4-19- 2025 I opened the package. It will not stay powered on and a lens is missing. Today I spent $36 for batteries and SD card. That's when everything came to play. I did contact the vender and sent them a photo, still they're impossible. Returning the device is impossible. I AM FED UP AND WILL NEVER BUY FROM THEM AGAIN!!!

      I ordered a set of stacking terrriums from Temu plus one extra terrarium. I got damaged products and the wrong size. One of the damages was a piece of broken tempered glass. I first asked if they would send me a new piece of glass to replace the broken one. They refused. I then told them I wanted a refund (based on their refund policy). However, they let me know that when they received the boxes back, they would examine the product and then if there was no damage, they would give me a refund. Well, there would be damage because they were damaged before they got here.I was afraid that if I sent them back, they would not give me a refund and then I would have nothing. The other issue was that we didn't believe we would be able to package them in the original boxes and again, they would be vunerable to more damage on the way to return. I explained all of this to them. No respnse. Since I made the mistake of purchasing from them, I have heard all kinds of negitive things about them. I am not a happy customer. I paid $668.51. This was for three of the wrong size tgerrariums, with one being damaged so it cannot be used (one of a set of two). I believe they should give me a refumd. The single terrarium is the wrong size, but I could tolerate it if they would reimburse me for the double set. The double set was $426.29 (Reptizoo Tempered Glass, RK0221TWO/BLACK. The single one was $190.99. Reptizoo, Large, Reptile Terrarium.
