I made a purchase from this company on March 16. *** later they said my order was delayed and if I dont received it within ************************************************************* I didnt receive my order until April 6th. And when you call the customer service phone, no one ever answers. Theres a hood line constantly repeating that theres a high demand in calls, which is untrue because its pre recorded. Ive called the number number its of times and game been on hold for hours every time. And then when I contact the live chat support they never answered unless I keep sending messages in which the keep ignoring the fact that stated they would refund us delivery is late. I just want my money back. This is false advertisement telling people you would refund them due to your poor shipping standards only to ignore me and not refund me.Business Response

I received a text message notification today for a package delivery from Temu which was strange as I had never been to their website and never ordered from them before. When I tried to login to Temu to find more information on the order linked to my phone number, I saw the account is under a Gmail account that I do not own or recognize. I then checked my credit card statement and noticed a charge from yesterday that I did not make. I am not expecting a gift or package from anyone else. I will be disputing the charge with my credit card company but I would like Temu to confirm that this charge has been cleared and to no longer use my billing/contact information for any transactions.Order PO#***-***************** Fraudulent email: ele****************Business Response

Description: TEMU is the business. I ordered multiple items from www.temu.com DE back on 3/6/2023 totaling $48.50, paid with my bank card. Within 24 hours, 1 item was out of stock and given the choice, I choose a full refund, to be returned to my account in **** business days. Looking at my account 3/10/23 only $21.73 was refunded. I could not get ANYONE to explain way I did not receive a full refund, to this day. In addition up until 3/26/23 I had not received the other portion of my delivery, eventhough I received "Your Temu item was delivered on 3/17/23, twice". Finally as of 3/26/23 I was able to speak to a "representative", who stated to me it would be in my best interest to cancel entire order, when I chose that option, they calculated my refund would be $22.00. (thats a total of $43.73, not the $48.50) Nothing on there product order states "no full refund". The representative stated TEMU had to pay taxes on my order, which is a larger-than-life, bold-face lie!Desired Outcome: I am requesting, again, from them, a FULL REFUND.Consent to the collection: True BBB Name: Better Business Bureau of ********************** BBB Address: ***************************************************** Phone Number: ************* BBB Email Address: *****************************************Business Response

I placed two orders from Temu app on Mar. 4th, 2023 and Mar. 9th, 2023. Both are huge orders and contain 33 items in total, with most of them being big in size (metal shelf, medicinal box, rotary cheese grater, yoga mat, 6 big storage box etc). You can find all the details in the uploaded pictures. These two orders share the same tracking number, and I confirmed with **** that there was only one package associated with this tracking number. The package was 22 inch by 24 inch. It's not small, but if you look at the whole list of items I ordered, there is no way to fit all 33 items into one single shipping bag. As I expected, the majority of my two orders were not shipped to me. However, on the app they claimed everything we delivered. I contact customer service by submitted ticket, and the first one came back saying they checked video record and confirmed everything was packed and shipped to me. Then closed the ticket. I submitted another one requesting to see the video, however, the only I got was just repeating the same words again and again without providing any solid evidence or help. You can supporting document to everything I said. I request full refund to my original card for all the items that were not shipped, unless they can provide the video they claimed to exist and prove they indeed packed 33 items into one shipping bag.Business Response
