My family and I decided to participate in Temus free gifts offer. They advertise that if you send invites to new and existing account holders you get free gifts. I have tried on several occasions as well as my family and friends and they have had the same issues where Temu is not honoring there end of the deal. When I reached out to Temu they stated the invited were not done completely when that is a lie. Temu is scamming people into believing they will receive free gifts when in actuality Temu is not honoring the free gifts they are promoting. Temu keeps asking you to send an invite after invite essentially wasting your time. When I reached out to Temu they said nothing can be done. This is not ok or acceptableBusiness Response

On August 8, 2023 and September 2, 2023, I placed an order on the Temu website totaling $241.77 (August) and $351.41 (September), purchased using Affirm. I never received my order. I contacted customer service and was advised to look around for the package. After looking for the package for several days, I contacted customer service again, who then advised me to look around for the package. After 30 days, the package had not arrived. I contacted Temu again and was informed that I was ineligible for refund because the purchase was 30 days old. After contacting customer service several times, and filing several complaints. Temu refused to return my money. In good faith, I made 2 payments towards affirm, hoping that my Temu items would arrive, these items never arrived. Temus refusal to assist me with this matter has caused my family pain and suffering. The balance of the undelivered items remains on my affirm account, lowering my credit score, decreasing my chances of opening new lines of credit. My desired resolution is that Temu refund all money, $542.00, to affirm, and remove my account.Business Response

On August 23, I responded to Temu customer support via inbox. The customer support agent sent a generic response and did not address my concerns. The Temu customer support agent made a fraudulent claim stating that they contacted *** and verified that I signed for 3 packages. I contacted ***, *** stated that Temu NEVER contacted them to request an investigation. Temu never contacted *** to track the status of the packages. I asked *** to track the 4 missing packages, *** stated that the packages were delivered to the wrong address and returned to Temu, please see *** tracking pictures attached.
After speaking with *** on August 22, 2024 and August 23, 2024, I can confirm that the packages were never delivered to my address. I can confirm that Temu did not complete a thorough investigation, and they did not contact *** during this investigation.
I am requesting that Temu refund my original payment to Affirm for the multiple packages that were never delivered:
PO-211-09439868908152084

The order has not reached my hands which is the problem. As a seller TEMU is responsible to make sure the package gets to me and if I do not receive it then they owe me a refund legally. You guys also keep telling me to prove I never received my package but that is impossible to prove. Im telling you guys that I didnt receive it, I dont get how it could be proven. This is just a way of finding some way to deny my request and keep my money.

My plan was to order 1 swimming pool for my friends kids, July 2, 2024. I didnt think my first order was complete, so I ordered again. Then at the end I notice there were 2 pools on my order. I got upset, and decided to cancel both orders July 2, 2024 around 9pm. I went through canceling process twice. After completing both cancellations July 2, 2024, I didnt get my money back from Temu. So I called ****** on July ******* and explained my dilemma and didnt want to wait any longer for Temu to refund my money and then requested to file an open case. ****** customer service told me ********************** took my money on July 2, 2024. Temu shouldve not taken my money since I canceled on the same day I ordered. (July******). It came out of my bank account on July 4, 2024. I have been waiting patiently to hear from Temu and ****** since July *******. On August 3, 2024 Temu refunded one of my orders from July ****** for $74.34. But didnt refund my second order of $95.74 on July ******. I got an Email from ****** on August 5, 2024, stating that my claims for $95.74 was declined because the records show that it was completed and corrected. So I called ****** back on August 6, 2024 asking ****** customer service why was I declined for $95.74 and was refunded $74.34. She reviewed the records/system again and told me that the record/ system showed that both were correct. But she can see that my $95.74 wasnt processed yet. she told me she will reopen my claims, and to wait another 10 days for Temu to respond, and call back later. I called back ****** on July 15, 2024 to ask wheres my refund? This ****** customer service told me that ********************** gave it to me in the Temu credits of $95.74. I did not want credit I wanted my refund for both transactions that were both cancelled on July ****** minutes from each other.Business Response

I'm reporting that listings show one price but if you open it, there is nothing in the listing that has the price on the main page. The item turns out to cost much more. I have several screenshots but I can't figure out how n to upload them here. I have attached several screenshots showing the issue.

I made 2 recent orders from the temu app. Order #PO-211-13980593618552924 and order #PO-211-13980501668472924. Both orders were in the same package that was sent to an old address of mine that legally I'm not supposed to be at. The **** confirmation photo shows it as delivered but they has left it in the doorstep of my old apartment. Temu is refusing a refund of nearly $45 dur to the fact that they claim it was signed for. However upon slight investigation of my own **** did not require a signature for aforementioned package. Also even though I am not supposed to be at my old apartment I did go talk to the new apartment resident and they did not sign for or receive my package. I have explained this a ton of times ti customer service and continue getting the same message just with different names at the top that are supposedly sending it which basically says I am burnt. I want the money back for what I never received.Business Response

I understand that you think it was delivered. And it very well may have been. The problem I have is that your "proof of delivery" is a blurry photo taken of a package sitting on the doorstep. Not signed for like your customer support team members claimed. Also, whether it was stolen from the porch or whatever is totally irrelevant to the fact that I did not receive the things I paid for.

I had originally made my purchase at TEMU on May 15, 2024. I ordered two artificial trees. I received confirmation of the order, and the delivery date was June 9-27. It was being delivered by sea; therefore, it took longer to receive the shipment. The confirmation stated I would be issued a $5.00 credit within 48 hours if I didnt receive the package by June 27th. It also stated there would be a full refund issued if I did not receive the shipment within 55 days. I have a screen shot of this statement. I also have photos of my conversations with TEMU about the order. They refused to give a $5.00 credit, or the refund as guaranteed. Im requesting the refund due to their statement of refund guaranteed if not delivered within 55 days. I did not receive the order until 7/15/24. I was told I could not get a refund since the order had been shipped. .Business Response

I was not given an explanation of why they are not standing by their 55 day-no delivery refund. I didnt receive the package within this timeframe. I attached the photo in the original complaint. It is titled guarantee. It appears Temu is making false statements on their website.

Extremely misleading, aggressive, and all around fraudulent behaviors with coupons and promotions!Ive ordered from Temu a lot and I must say they have the one promotion thats a complete scam.*** a Rebate Scam It clearly states if you spend a certain amount you will get back that amount in credit plus a free gift! Superrr good deal right!? WRONG. There moment your done purchasing the minimum amount or even more they DO NOT give you that said amount in credit back!!! THEY GIVE YOU A SERIES OF BOGUS COUPONS TOTALING THAT AMOUNT WITH A MINIMUM PER COUPON!! Outlandish and disgusting behavior! Example: (I knew I wanted these items regardless if I got the $40 I spent today back in credits)I make the purchase,No indication of any credits or coupons,I tally up my cart thinking itll show at checkout,Nope, nothing at checkout,I go to my profile and see a series of coupons at, for ex. $5 off $75 dollar purchase (fkin bananas right) So on and so forth (theres a few of these highest at $15 off $145)I contact customer contact center frost useless rep ****** explains nothing except the rules, I proceed to ask where can I find said rules so I can read it myself (Ill include photo of what they said because it isnt there)He/she escalates to Higher RepAbaroa who takes their sweet time reviewing comes back and literally says the same thing and offers me a $10 coupon. A fkin joke as a customer care rep. *** not even half, I proceed to say that and she goes well I can cancel it when youre ready Did I say that? ***, I know how to cancel and I know how to read. I dont know who these people think they are fooling but as I said from jump I planned on purchasing these items regardless. BUYER BEWARE.Business Response
