      I ordered a lawnmower through Temu. It distinctly had on there it had a year warranty. Temu said no our practice is only 90 days and that I needed to contact the company that made the lawnmower which I did. The company said since Temu was not authorized to sell their product that makes the warranty void. I referred this back to Temu. First they tried to get me to fix it myself. I am a senior citizens. I have no idea of how to fix a lawnmower. Then they said well give you a $50 credit. A 50 credit is not gonna fix a lawnmower-so Im stuck with a malfunctioning lawnmower that I cant get fixed. I do have all proof of correspondence between Temu, the lawnmower company, and the warranty.

      You advertise free gifts if we make purchases, the free gifts add up to ****** for advertised price when I looked. In April and may I bought more the ****** worth of junk from your sight, one of the items dye came off all over my cats fur and when she cleaned herself she became violently ill vomiting and shaking. Thank heavens that stopped within the hour, I washed her. This is the watermelon chair. It's also made of cheap Styrofoam that's toxic to cats. Anyway after spending that money not one free gift was sent not even one for 3.50 you are using false inducement of free gifts to obtain purchases. Further more things we add to our cart advertised at prices are then sometimes more then double the price. Your pictures of items are always misleading and everything is way smaller and does not look like the picture. It's cheap flimsy and too small for practical use. I am disabled and can't really go to three or four different places to return your junk. On top of this I took refund to temu account and you say we get a refund but we don't. I wanted to buy one flower pillow was advertised for 7.00 I had a *****credit. But you guys then said regular price was ***** minus my ***** and my owed amount was 6.90 free shipping. That's ********. Your stealing my refund money. The advertised price is what the credit should be applied to. Your company is breaking all of our consumer laws with false inducement of gifts that never come, not giving refunds but eating them in games at the cash. When I complained I was missing four items from my order I couldn't get nothing done even though I uploaded pictures of the whole order . I was told I needed photos of items in claim. Listen I can't give photos of items not there. I want the ****** in gifts pro.ised for the money I spent credited to my account. Or I want my money back and you can come pick up your toxic junk. Please also stop putting purchases through to my bank on items sitting in my cart I have not yet approved.

      I ordered four items from Temu order number: PO-211-*****************, expecting them to be delivered on July 6, 2025. However, when I arrived home, I found an empty package. I promptly contacted them and created a ticket, but it was denied because the items had already left the warehouse. This is puzzling, considering that it had been almost three weeks since the order was placed. There could have been any number of issues with my items. The moral of the story is to avoid shopping here. This company is a scam, and this will be my first and last time shopping with them. They dont care about their customers; they only care about their money.

      Hello. I am very tired of receiving text messages for all items free, 100% reimbursement etc. when i pick my items and look at my cart basically you are doubling the price and pretending to take a 50% discount off and say im saving money but still charging me what it would notmally cost without any coupins. I had two orders set up one when i was using the 100% reimbursement and ine just shopping normally and the price was very similar so the supposed reimbursement essentially was doing nothing but trying to make me think im getting a freat deal when im not. I have a cart of items that i have been trying to get for weeks but every time i get a text about a deal i have to pick items all over again and then after spending time doing that finding that i am basically paying the normal price minus all the fireworks and congrats and you got a $400 bundle of savings that you can use $2 at a time. No, no that is ridiculous! I have spent a lot of money, even when i didn't really want to thinking i would get the good reward next time but that never came because it is ine huge vicious cycle of getting a potential reward dangled in front of you only to be told ohhh sorry, you were so close, but next time we promise! Ha, likely story and next time brings no reward so you spend just a little more but to no avail. So, please for the love of all things discount please fulfill my cart for heavens sake!!

      I ordered this pop up bath tub. They sent me a damaged one with a hole right in the seem. I have been messaging them consistently about this since June. They offer FREE returns on your first return per order. However, they want me to pay $7.99 to have the item picked up because I am disabled and the closest ********** are over an hour away from me. I can't travel there by myself. They sent me an item that literally poured water all over my Bathroom floor. I have sent picture after picture, video after video and yet they still refused to give me my money back if I don't allow them to take the shipping cost out of my refund price. This isn't right and they are falsely advertising the returns. The item came in damaged and they offer me $15 out of my $55 something then I wouldn't have to send it back.

      I placed an order on Temu.com, and they claim the package was delivered. They even provided a photo as "proof" of delivery. However, I was home the entire day the package was supposedly delivered, and no package was ever received.The photo Temu provided does not clearly show my home or any identifying features that confirm it was delivered to the correct address. I checked my porch, mailbox, and surrounding area multiple times. I also confirmed with neighbors that they did not receive anything for **** reached out to Temu customer service, but they refused to issue a refund or send a replacement. They continue to insist the package was delivered simply because of the tracking status and photo, despite my explanation and evidence that I never received it.This is extremely frustrating. As the customer, I followed all proper steps. I paid for the item, provided an accurate address, and was present to receive the package. I should not be penalized for a delivery error or possible theft that occurred through no fault of my own.I am requesting a full refund or replacement. I am asking the BBB to assist in resolving this dispute, as Temu has not been responsive or reasonable.

      On June 18, 2025, I purchased a knife from Temu for $79.37 (Order #: PO-211-*****************). Temu committed to providing a working product, and a full refund if returned in acceptable condition per their return policy. I returned the item in perfect condition using their official return system. However, the seller falsely claimed I broke the item, using a sarcastic joke I made as false evidence. Temu only gave a partial refund and refused to resolve it. I followed all return instructions, and I want the full refund Im owed.

      I received some coupons from Temu stating that the order amount only has to be a ***** more than the coupon amount. Upon trying to place an order with these coupons, Temu then said that I had to spend an additional $20 to place an order. They said that the minimum order amount is $20, but it is actually $40. When I filed a complaint with customer service, they kept giving me the run around, and refused to address the issue. When I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor, they told me that they weren't available.
