I placed an order on the Temu app totaling $23.38 on April 3rd, 2023. The tracking number provided is **********************. The package was reported to have been delivered on April 14th, 2023 to the "porch" of the address provided. I checked in with the post office that it was addressed to multiple times, and the crew in the mailroom were unable to locate the package, and so I chose to file for reshipment/refund on the Temu app. After requesting multiple times, I have been given neither compensation nor an update.Business Response

Dear BBB,I am writing to report a concerning issue with the customer service practices of **********************, a company that I have been trying to get in touch with for over a month now. I have attempted to reach out to their customer service team through their live chat feature, but was surprised to find that my ability to live chat with an agent had been disabled. Instead, I was forced to submit tickets through their website in order to get help with my issue.However, I discovered that my tickets were unable to get submitted, despite repeated attempts on multiple devices. I gave Temu ample time to fix the problem, but they took advantage of it to do nothing. I am extremely frustrated with this situation and believe that it is completely unacceptable for a company to disable a customer's ability to contact them and then make it impossible for customers to get help with their issues.As a result, I demand compensation of $100 store credit for the amount of time and effort I have had to spend dealing with this issue. I have lost valuable time and energy trying to get in touch with Temu and have not received any response or acknowledgement from their customer service team. This has caused me significant stress and inconvenience.I would appreciate it if the BBB could investigate this matter and ensure that Temu is held accountable for their poor customer service practices. I believe that customers should be treated with respect and that it is the responsibility of companies to respond to their customers promptly and efficiently.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Sincerely,***************** P.S. The photograph with the orange question mark is where the live chat feature is supposed to be. As you can see, it has been removed.Business Response

Temu advertised that you would receive 100% back of your order up to $105. I placed an order for $117 during check out it stated I was eligible for the maximum of $105 back and then they credited my account $3 after reaching out to them they informed me that I would receive coupons off of my next orders so along with the $3 credit they gave me a $35 off of $120 order coupon, a $55 off $230 coupon, and a $15 off $50 order claiming that is my credit they promised. Their promotion claims that I will receive 100% back. I did not. In order for me to claim even the coupons I must spend more its extremely misleading and false. This is not the first advertisement that they have done this with but it is the first one Ive experienced. I dont feel like they should be able to mislead people like this. It wont allow me to add my pictures it keeps saying there is an error so Im going to try to submit it without it but I am happy to provide them if it works another way.Business Response

I received $3.31 credit back when the promotion lead consumers to believe they would receive 100% back not a coupon valued at the amount spent. The coupons also came with a 24 hour deadline to use them. Again REQUIRING I spend another $450 dollars to receive my discount witching 24 hours. I want my money back.

Apologizing for your misleading promotion does not change that I didnt receive what was promised to me as a consumer. You have shady unethical business practices. Again I want the $105 I was originally promised minus the $3.31 you actually gave me. I have provided the pictures previously.

Made a purchase on 4/14/23 and received my package on 4/28/23. Ordered 7 bracelets and upon opening my package I saw that 5 of the seven were broken.

But they they replied and said claim denied.Calling customer service # is a waste of time. 2+ HOURS (see screenshot), & still NO ONE came to the phone. Waste my ********* moneyBusiness Response
