      February 27 th 2025 I purchased a wig from the seller Leleo on Temu. The wig was supposed to be 40 inches and human hair it was neither, so I sent it back. They gave me only a partial refund claiming what I sent them is damaged. What I sent you is what you sent me how do you think I feel?

      I did a return to temu and was promised a credit balance within minutes. That night I checked and still did not have my credit balance on my account. I called ******************** to inform them that I still did not have my credit balance. The agent said that I would first have to cancel the refund on order to get the credit balance. I told him that did not sound right. He insisted that that it was correct-so I canceled the return. NOW TEMU HAS THE MERCHANDISE and MY Credit Balance/Money. I have my order number and my *** tracking for the merchandise that was returned to Temu.com.order #PO-211-11043704668711615 my *** tracking number 1ZE366C39049021755

      I incurred an issue with temu taking 5 months to refund my monies from the temu credit account back to ******. **************** was horrendous as I called numerous times probably 60 or more hours. Im asking for $1500 compensation for my wasted time. I received a call from ******* 3-31-25 offering to put $100 into the temu credit account. After telling him numerous times that I would never use temu again he kept insisting on putting money into the account. Again horrible customer service.

      Delivered March 15th 2025 from TEMU I ordered an office chair from TEMU which was delivered on the 16th of March 2025 As I was was putting it together I became very ill with dizziness, burning eyes and lungs with a bad headache and later nausea. I had to place it in a closed off room. I then requested a return and refund, as their advertising claimed a 100% money back guarantee with free shipping. I called in and my complaint and refund request was sent to another department. That department recorded my issue but then sent me a run around request to get a doctor or hospital and a testing lab (cost about 1K) to prove that I was made sick with an official certificate. Of course this is impossible now that the chair has been out of my space for several days. I recovered from the exposure about an hour after I put the chair away. I am not able to use it at all and want to send it back and get it out of my home. I would not be able to even get this large chair into my ****** Yaris! I would not be able to drive with it for 2 hours to get to a testing lab, as I would get too sick on the road. Setting up "resolutions" like having to take a product to a lab or get a certificate to prove I was made sick or later being told that they would refund me $39.00 is totally unacceptable. This is no resolution for this deception and run around.

      I was invited to play a free rewards game so I accepted the invite choose my rewards that add to $310.00 this started Saturday morning 29th of March I was on this game doing the challenges and the last one was difficult because I had to find people not on temu. I was down to getting the last two people required with over 12 hrs left to play. I found one ****** at close to 1 am Sunday morning and the game disappeared it took some time to figure out how to connect with them about 30 minutes. When I finally managed to connect the first ****** was just saying that it difficult to play fish game and I kept telling him that's not what it was the second ****** the same thing. They finally got customer service and he looked into it and apologized for the trouble and would contact the ****** needed it is now 4:30am Sunday morning the ****** to fix it contacts me and tells me to just get 5 to join. This is at 6:30am I had fell asleep waiting. With no time and no real way of completing this because they took the page away i couldn't finish. Because what she had done is make me start over with no prize and nothing just add 5 people. And said because I didn't complete I failed the challenge. While waiting I realized they had my order wrong on two items. And they wouldn't even do anything about that for over 12 hrs when it was shipped. This was a long day and they have only put this on me I have screen recordings and told them that. Now the send things with smiley faces crying so sad that you missed all your rewards. I'm ********** and this is not a fair or reasonable treatment of a customer no matter their income. They have to have laws they abide by just like the rules I have to. So many hrs over a two day period I was doing and abiding by the rules and they shut me down this can't be right.

      **Subject:** Complaint Regarding Misleading Practices and ********************* **Dear **********************,**I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Temu due to repeated instances of dissatisfaction and frustration stemming from their misleading business practices and lack of integrity.Over time, I have made numerous purchases through Temu, drawn in by their promises of coupons, gifts, and special offers. However, these promised incentives have consistently failed to materialize. Instead, I am often met with misleading messages such as "almost there" or "just buy another item to receive this offer." This bait-and-switch approach has left me feeling misled and disappointed.Additionally, when encountering issues with purchased items, Temu has offered compensation in the form of a $20 coupon. However, this "compensation" requires me to make another purchase in order to use the coupon, which I find unacceptable and insincere. Compensation should alleviate the inconvenience caused by defective products, not obligate the customer to spend more money.These practices have left me deeply frustrated and questioning the company's commitment to ethical business conduct and customer satisfaction. I believe **********************'s actions are deceptive and fall short of the standards of fairness and transparency expected from businesses.I kindly request the Better Business Bureau to investigate Temu's practices and take appropriate actions to ensure consumers are treated with honesty and respect.Thank you for your time and assistance in addressing this matter.Sincerely, ****

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response submitted by the temu and have determined that the response does satisfy my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint #********. I understand that by choosing to accept the business response that my complaint will be closed as resolved.
      the letter from temu (*******) was the first time the letter had my name on it. I think its bad customer service that  have to contact the Better Business Bureau to get an email from Temu with my name on it and a solution to the problem but I am satisfied with the results Im not satisfied with the time temu took to solve it and it took the Better Business Bureau. calling temu  emailing temu, and talking on temus website with the chat nothing work.

      Regards,

      ****** ******
