      I placed an order with Temu, but I later realized that some of the sizes were wrong and cancelled that order. I later resubmitted the order, but paid using Klarna. Although I paid using Klarna, **** withdraw the total price for my purchase. I have contacted the company and they have agreed to return my money, but I have not received it yet. I am requesting a refund of $78.87.

      I have never ever made any purchases from this website and didn't even know they existed till today 11/10/22. There is 3 purchases that were made without my knowledge. The first one is $20.89, $29.83, and another $29.83. I do not have any accounts with this site. I don't even have a email confirmation with the order number or tracking number. I do not trust this site at all, not even the costumer service. I will be getting my bank involved and if things escalate then the law enforcement involved as well too.

      This business charged six different charges an my debit card fraudulently. I have never heard of this company and woke up this morning to a fraud alert from my bank. I really need the money they took as I was already having a short pay week. I am sickened right now and feel totally violated and hurt that someone could actually be taking advantage of families like this. Please help.

      On Nov 09 my companion ***** sent me a referral link for Temu which stated in it that I signed up I could get a free gift with free shipping. I inputted all my information into the Temu app in order to get the gift of my choice, which was a cordless vacuum, and after I even inputted my shipping information, the Temu app then suddenly demanded that I perform *************************************** to obtain the cordless vacuum. Therefore the Temu app has obtained my information in a deal where they are not holding up their end of the deal.

      Hello ******,

      I am Dada Sun from Temu.com. I'm writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I've provided the BBB with a copy of this message.

      I'm assigned to this case, and I'm here to assist you with investigating and resolving what happened to your account. Our records have identified five transactions of $117.90 each and one transaction of $130.84 on November 7, ************************************************ your comment. On the same bank account, we don't have the record of 6 transactions of $20 each.

      According to our records, for each of these transactions, we have received affirmative confirmation from the card issuing bank that the payment has passed the bank's 3-D secure verification, which means the card issuing bank has successfully verified the identity of the payor for each of these ten transactions.

      I would strongly suggest that you contact your bank immediately and report the incident to the police. At your request, I would do everything within my power to provide whatever cooperation and assistance required to help you, your bank and/or the police to get to the bottom of this. I'm very sorry for what happened to you. But please understand that we are also the victim, not the perpetrator. If you need anything or have any questions, I'm here to help.

      Of course with all the screen shots from others in the same predicament as myself you seem to have the same thing to say over and over again. I have made a complaint not only to the BBB, Office of the Attorney General, my banking institute...I will be making a police report also. Your phone number and address and response gives no legit reason to what has happened in my life in overdraft and charges over $1000.00 dollars. Provide me with my registration to your website TEMU.COM along with my order of 6 transactions so I can see what I have supposedly ordered in the amounts of 5 transactions at $117.90 and 1 transaction of $130.84 all within a 6 hour time frame in the middle of the night. Surely if you state I have ordered from this company then where is my product/what did I order or do you take my money and give nothing in return?

      Hi ******,

      I've been following up your case and here's a report on what I've been able to find so far. We are able to identify six transactions during the timeframe between midnight and 7am on November 5th, 2022 that match the amounts in your reivew. Our record shows that all six transactions passed the 3DS security certification conducted by the card issue bank, who is responsible for the identity verifications of the payers. 

      After verifying the records, I suggested that you file a report to your card issue bank for refund and call the police for identity theft immediately. 

      I also took the liberty of contacting the card issue bank at ***************************** on November 7 and alerted the bank about the potential card fraud case. I have not received any response from them so far.

      I'm sorry for what happened to you. But please understand that my team is doing everything within our power to help you resolve the case as quickly as possible, subject to applicable privacy policies and laws. I suggest that you contact your bank and urge them to promptly process the refund of your money.

      I finallly received funds back into my bank account thats to my bank institute as a courtesy while ****************** continues to investigate how this situation happened in the first place. 6 transactions went thru my bank before fraud was indicated due to the immediate transaction of one after another in such a short time frame. Temu has not provided any explaination as in my account registration to use their website. No invoice, no product, no account.

      I placed an order that was never shipped. The order amount was +$90.00. When I contacted customer service that gave me the runaround about giving me a refund. First, agreeing to a refund. Then, saying I had to wait longer before I could asked for a refund for a package that never shipped! I had no choice but to dispute the transaction with my bank.

      Hello *******,


      I am Dada Sun from Temu.com. I'm writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I've provided the BBB with a copy of this message.


      I followed up on your order and am happy to inform you that the package is on its way. I'm really sorry that it took a while for the logistics information to be updated. But here is the latest shipping status from **** website:
      Your order number: PO-211-16179342449273226
      Tracking number: 9405536106068940619240
      Latest Update:
      Your item arrived at our **** facility in *********** ** DISTRIBUTION CENTER on November 6, 2022 at 7:55 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination.
      https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?tRef=fullpage&tLc=2&text28777=&tLabels=9405536106068940619240%2C


      Usually, if a user could not receive his or her package by the estimated delivery date, a $5 credit for late delivery will be issued by the system automatically. In this case, the delay seems to be longer than usual. So I took the liberty of applying a $30 credit as compensation to the inconvenience. The credit will appear on the "credit balance" of your account within 2 business days.


      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will definitely strengthen our efforts in screening logistics partners to provide better and more transparent delivery services for our users!

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
