1. Product Quality Issues:
At Temu, we employ a comprehensive approach to quality control on our platform that aligns with the
requirements of the markets we operate in.
· Seller Onboarding: The process begins with the onboarding of sellers, where they are required to
submit the necessary documentation. Additionally, they sign agreements affirming their commitment to
product safety and adherence to regulations relevant to their intended markets. Temu supports this
process by providing guidance and resources on compliance requirements for various markets.
· Product Oversight: Random spot checks are conducted to verify that the physical products match their
descriptions and adhere to relevant standards. This includes checking packaging, labels, and safety
markings. If any products are suspected of potential non-compliance, Temu takes swift action, which may
involve suspending the listing, requesting additional documentation, or removing the product altogether.
· Ongoing Monitoring: Temu closely monitors customer feedback to identify potential issues with
products. When concerns arise, we take prompt action to investigate and, if necessary, remove any
products suspected of being non-compliant.
· Collaboration with Authorities: Temu actively collaborates with consumer groups and regulatory
authorities to address inquiries and facilitate product takedowns or recalls when required.
· Accountability Measures: We continually guide sellers on the need for strict product safety
compliance, ensuring they are fully aware of their responsibilities. Violations can lead to warnings, product
delisting.
We will continue to consistently and rigorously uphold these measures and standards, remaining fully
committed to ensuring customer satisfaction.
2. Shipping Delays
Timely delivery is a core part of the customer experience, and Temu is committed to ongoing
improvement in this area. Since late 2024, we have expanded our U.S.-based seller, enabling a growing
number of orders to be fulfilled domestically. This shift helps improve delivery speeds and better align with
customer expectations.
Temu works with experienced third-party logistics partners to handle the shipping and delivery of
customer orders. Customers can track their order status and estimated delivery dates directly through the
Temu app or Temu.com. Estimated delivery time and shipping costs are clearly displayed at checkout and
on the order confirmation page.
While the majority of orders are delivered on time, external factors, such as severe weather or
carrier-related disruptions, can occasionally lead to delays. We actively monitor these situations and
coordinate with our logistics partners to minimize impact.
We also proactively plan with our partners to ensure stable operations during peak periods such as
holidays. Customer feedback plays a key role in shaping our logistics strategy, and we remain committed
to refining the end-to-end delivery experience in response to user needs.
3. Customer Service – Current Capacity & Third-Party Recognition
Temu offers U.S. customers multi-channel support, including a self-service Support Center, virtual
assistant, live chat, hotline, and email. In particular, Temu maintains a 7-day × 24-hour live-chat support
channel. Most customers can reach a live agent within 30 seconds via the hotline, or within 1 minute
through online chat. For issues requiring additional follow-up or verification, Temu typically responds
within 8 hours and, in most cases, no later than 24 hours.
Temu will continue to invest in our customer service team to enhance its capacity and responsiveness,
ensuring that we deliver efficient and satisfactory solutions. We’re committed to addressing every
customer’s inquiry and feedback in a timely, fair, and friendly manner.
4. Return and Refund Processes
At Temu, we strive to provide a reliable and user-friendly shopping experience by connecting consumers
with a broad network of independent third-party sellers. While Temu does not manufacture or own the
products sold on the platform, we work closely with sellers to help ensure that product listings meet
applicable standards and that customers receive support when issues arise.
In the event a product is damaged or does not meet expectations, customers may contact Temu directly.
We will assist in coordinating a resolution between the customer and the seller, in accordance with our
platform policies and applicable consumer protection guidelines.
Below are the return and refund processes applicable to customers in the U.S. market.
Simple Return Process: Temu provides a simple and convenient return process for customers. The
following is an example of how the return process works. To request a refund, customers can log in to the
Temu app or Temu.com through their account, open the ‘Your Orders’ page, and click ‘Return/Refund.’ If a
return is needed, customers can select their preferred return and refund options. After submitting a
request, Temu provides a return label to ship the items back. Customers should place all returnable items
in one package, include the original barcodes, attach the provided return label, and ship the package from
the nearest USPS or UPS location. Refund status can be tracked via the order details page or through
Temu’s SMS, email, or push notifications.
Free First Return Policy: Return shipping is free on the customer's first return of one or multiple
returnable items for EVERY order within 90 days for most items from the date of purchase, with some
exceptions. Pickup return method may charge for an additional fee. Pickup return method may charge an
additional fee in limited scenarios.
Through these measures, Temu is committed to providing a transparent, efficient, and reliable return and
refund process, ensuring that customers can shop with confidence and ease. We greatly appreciate BBB
for highlighting potential issues, and we will continuously collect customer feedback to further optimize the
returns and refund experience.

usability feedback seriously. Temu’s technical and customer service teams work closely together to
promptly investigate and resolve reported issues. Temu is dedicated to providing a smooth, reliable, and
user-friendly experience for all users, whether on Temu.com or through the Temu app.

customer-focused approach throughout our growth. We value the opportunity to address these matters

So i bought $100.50 worth of items of Temu on February 5th 2022. The delivery company says the package was delivered on the 10th. Yet the package did not arrive. I tried to contact support and all they told me is that they cant issue me a reshipment or a refund. By the way, I cant even talk to a real agent on live support I had to submit a ticket to get help. This was an awful experience since I didnt get the stuff that I purchased nor got the refund. I did everything in my power to try to find the package like asking my family members if one has claimed the package and asking my neighbor if they have seen it. This is terrible to be honest since most of the items were gifts for my little brother. I request a refund as a solution for this experience.

I did check around my house and asked family members if they claimed it no one saw it. I already did contact the carrier and they told me it was left on the front porch but when I checked the security cameras around the delivery time nothing arrived. I cant even access live chat on the app which is super frustrating and annoying because I cant get help with anything anymore. I waited 7 days here to get a negative response with no outcome. I demand a refund or reshipment of the items.

Im still waiting for TEMU to refund my order, for 23 items, that cost $******. Order number: PO-211-03092362629750465.It was marked delivered, but I never received it. TEMU claims that all 23 items from that order, were packed in same package, as two additional separate orders. All three orders were given the same tracking number. I received the other two orders, but not this third order, for 23 items, that cost $ ******. Temu has treated me horribly and hassled me very badly about this order. I have communicated with many of their employees. Some employees have refused to refund me, and others have misled me, telling me that I should have received a refund by now. Temu doesnt know what quality customer service is at all, and clearly they put people through tremendous unnecessary stress. They simply dont care. I truly hope that TEMU decides to still refund me, asap. I have literally spent hours dealing with Temu, just trying to get this resolved and get my refund that is rightfully owed to me. This whole matter is getting really tiring, and completely unacceptable. Ill never order from them again. I would just like my $****** refunded to my original form of payment, and then to just move on with my life.Thanks. -*************************** ************ **************************************************** ****************Business Response

Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered.
TEMU,
See attached email from ***** They have already investigated the claim, and referred me to Temu for further assistance with refund. You all claimed to have shipped three separate orders, all in same package, with same tracking number: **** tracking number: **********************. That would be a total of 41 items, that you all claimed were packed and delivered inside of my small mailbox. Many of these 41 items were quite large. There is no way that 41 items could reasonably all fit in one package, inside of one small mailbox.
I did receive two out of those three orders: order #: PO-211-*****************, and order #: PO-211-*****************, as I have explained. However, I never received order #: PO-211-*****************. That order included 23 items, totaling $******. You have already lost me as a customer, because of the shipping mishaps, and severe lack of customer service. However, I still would like this matter resolved, finally. I hope that you guys get this refunded to my original form of payment asap, for all 23 items, for $******. I actually spoke over the phone, in the American call center, to a supervisor named *****, who assured me that she would make sure this refund would definitely be approved and be processed. It appears that she misled me, unfortunately. Thats not the first time that Ive been lied to by your employees. Anyway, this whole matter has gotten ridiculous. I provided you with the **** email documentation for the claim for the package. I did not receive the 23 items in that order, totaling ******. I still would like my refund promptly. Im not going to give up on this until Im refunded. your company, TEMU, should care about making this right. I truly hope that you decide to do the right thing. Thank you. -************************;Business Response

*******************, and/or whomever else from TEMU,
Ill be further disputing the fraud you all have committed, with my bank, for this order of $142.15, which you are refusing to refund. Your supervisors lie and promise refunds over the phone, and they never process refund.I just had another supervisor over the phone with TEMU customer service last night, *****, from ********, tell me that I would definitely be receiving my refund; just like the previous supervisor, *****, also told me a few weeks ago. You all are going to be held accountable.
************, You continue to send basically the same generic, ridiculous response, to my complaint to Better Business Bureau, and you never care to actually pay attention and address the actual issues. You are the worst company I have ever encountered, and I really hope that there is something Better Business Bureau can do, to further hold your company accountable. You guys are a corrupt company, and have a lot of similar complaints from consumers, and TEMU is rated extremely low. Its despicable. Worst customer service ever! Youll be dealing with my bank on fraud charges, very soon. Ill be contacting them next. -************************;

On December 7,2022 I placed 2 orders with a company called TEMU. One order was for $99.53 and the other was for $116.49. The day before, December 6, 2022 I placed an order for $116.49 as well. These orders were for Christmas decorations and stocking stuffers. None of these packages arrived until just be fore Christmas and turned out to be JUNK. I MEAN REALLY JUNK!!!. I tried and tried to make contact with them to make arrangements to return the items but could not get anyone to respond. This company cheated me out of a lot of money and then would not cooperate in any way to fix the problem. I want my money back!!! I cannot return the items now because we are in middle of moving and the items are gone. But these people advertised quality products and they were unbelievably the worst quality of anything I have ever seen. I would like you warn other people to stay away from this company and I posted that on their website. PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO MAKE THEM GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. THANK YOU!!!Business Response

Temu charged me twice for the same amount $116.49. Once on 12/6 and again on 12/7. They still owe me a refund of $116.49.
