      Temu has done nothing to resolve my issue  I have not been refunded or told when I will be refunded all they have told me is that they are still waiting to inspect the return which they received over a month ago  that is unacceptable when their website says it only takes a few days  I need refund or i am absolutely disputing the charge with paypal

      The App claims to offer a $7 ******** Switch console for new users, after signing up for them. I have signed up and. Was never offered this promotion. After further research its only available at a certain time of day each day the item goes on sale for that price. I waited on day one and every day since and then gave up after a while I tired again. And for two weeks straight I waited for the promo to pop up for for the sale to start I was never offered this sale. I have made other purchases since then and have proved to be a loyal customer and have even recommended this app to everyone I know. But after to day I will probably never use this app again. I had finally had enough of the run around trying to get the discount so I contacted customer support. I was on live chat with them for over an hour and was transferred to three different members all of them making the same remarks and about how the sale works and not explaining why I was not able to receive it. All of there agents seem to be robots with only a few responses and they dont seem to care about your feelings. They were not willing to help resolve the problem or give any real reason why the promotion was not working for my account. They also refused to let me speak to any sort of supervisor. I just wanted to get a ******** switch for $7 like their commercials say but for some reason Im not able to because of their own technical difficulties. As far as I can tell this app is a huge scam and no one is actually getting this discount.

But I never got any emails or message on the app. From customer support.  Im confused how taking their word. Over verification from the customer is a reason to close my complaint.   Im not satisfied with what I got because I got nothing.

      The website and all their commercials offer a ******** switch for $7.  This is not an offer they are willing to fulfill and will not give this discount. They claim they can only give a 20% up to $20. Off of an item which is not and exclusive discount  they offer that discount every day on their web site.   The switch cost $349 dollars. Even  with $20 off its not going to be $7. Their adds are false and they have not made any attempt to contact me with a real response. The person thats responding to these messages is just saying word for word what the customer service representative said.  Also. Everyday they put out these adds that are basically coupon scams. If you buy a certain $ amount you get back coupons for a limited time on a next order but they have time limits and usually disappear before you would need to use them.   Iv added pictures of them as well .   The problem is they have made no effort to actually follow through with the commercial they put out. The ******** Switch has never gone on sale on the site and i have never been offered an exclusive discount. I also have heard from other social media people that they only got a switch at a discount price from them for selling out and advertising for them.   It doesnt seem fair that a normal person being show a commercial shouldnt be able to redeem the offer in front of them. Because of what seems like discrimination.

      Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints. It is important to remain professional and productive when participating in the BBB complaint process.

      I have been a ton of ads for this company. TEMU sells really really cheap products that don't even have instructions in English. I bought an air purifier with no way to use it. I have since TRIED to delete my account. The app has been reinstalled on my phone multiple times without my permission. I'm closing a spade a spade. This is cheap cheap Chinese c*** as a way to watch the USA. I'm calling out as I see it. This is dangerous and needs to be addressed ASAP. This company is invading my privacy by having access to my devices.

      So I ordered a radio that's about 150 bucks off Temu screen was messed up when I got it so I sent it in 21 May. They received it June 5 since June 5 to now which June 10 they still haven't issued a credit or a refund for the radio they won't let me talk to the supervisor a supervisor has not called me. They have expedited the stuff for five times when this is creating an issue with my vehicle concerning my blinkers, my horn, and all that it's a safety concern and I've told them this they will not issue me a credit for a new radio let alone let me talk to a supervisor instead they just give me a runaround. This is ridiculous your business needs to do business a different way like you guys blew up too fast and you can't handle it now like this is ridiculous. I should not have to wait a week for $150 to buy a new radio. I was supposed to have a supervisor called me within the last hour. It's been now five or six hours him. Something needs to happen. You guys need to give me my money back or you need to credit me so I can get a new freaking radio so I don't have a car that is not safe.

      In placing an order an item I was viewing was added to my order. After contacting the company the item was removed from my order and it was agreed I was due a full refund. I was assured that a full refund would be returned to my card. Several days later a PARTIAL REFUND was applied to my account.

      I made an order on May 30th (PO-211-03550181786232886) I recived the package on June 6th, except it wasn't the items I ordered. They sent used, un wrapped items. I contacted support, they asked me to provide shipping labels and pictures of the items I recived, I did this process 4 diffrent times with 4 diffrent customer support agents. I spent $230 and didn't recive a single item I ordered and they are refusing to help me, will not accept the items returned and will not issue a refund to either my bank or temu credit. I'm getting the run around until I'm out of the refund date policy
