      The return was sent back almost 3 weeks ago, they have had it in their possession for 2 weeks. 2 seperate orders were sent back and the first return. I just found out the merchant is trying to say they never received the items...that they received the package, but somehow the items weren't in it??? The return automatically closed after 14days and the system messed the return up cause it had already been mailed....I want my refund...they have the product but are refusing to refund....I have proof!!!!

      Approximently 3 weeks ago I returned a large box of 22 items to Temu. I sent the return via ***. Once received confirmation that the return had been received the warehouse I threw away my receipt. I then receive a message from Temu that they have inspected the package and only one item was in the box and thats the only refund I am getting. I have tried everything I can to resolve this problem. I have sent many messages to Temu and spent nearly and hour on the phone with them and they refuse to offer me any help. I have gone to *** to see if they can be of any assistance and they said no and that really there is no way for a consumer to prove how many items are in a package. it is up to the company to take the loss and make it right with the customer. I have another order that is supposed to be here next week and another one here of returns that I am greatly concerned with returning because of this situation. *** also told me that they had no way to look up anything anyhow because they don't keep records that long. I have no idea what to do and I have lost all faith and any trust in this company. obviously they received my box because they refunded me for one of the items. I would also like to add they have been dishonest and have described the item they did receive as three different things. enclosed is screen shots of my conversations as well as a screen shot of their customer service number and how long I was on the phone with them.

      I can not accept this . This same exact response has already been sent to me over and over before only to later receive another email saying that you still will not give me my money back. I can not believe this company will not take a long standing customers word that all 22 items were in that box when it left UPS.

      Before I accept this response from Temu. I need to know the amount they plan on refunding me for the 21 out of 22 items I returned. I also have several returns I have that need to be returned that have not been because of this issue needing to be resolved and now Temu sent me a message that it's too late to return those items. I do not feel this is fair to me because of this other issue needing to be resolved.

      I placed an order and with Temu and paid via ******. They did not direct me to ****** to choose the card to use, they immediately pushed the payment through. Once I realized this, I cancels the order due to the wrong card being used via ****** without my permission. I canceled the transaction via ******, I have confirmation of that cancellation. I also canceled the order with Temu to be safe. They still pulled the money without my consent and declined to assist in fixing the matter. I spoke with several customer service **** and they declined to help refund the amount taken or even credit my account. They not only took my money but also caused my account to be overdrawn due to the money being pulled from the wrong account without confirmation.

      I placed two orders two weeks ago on March 7th, 2025, one of the packages was supposed to arrive between March 14th-20th, the other March 13th-19th. Both packages keep getting returned to the distribution center (GOFO Express) due to incorrect address when I know my address is correct. I've called and emailed, I get a AI chatbot instead of a human, and the two phone numbers that GOFO provide-- one constantly doesn't answer and the other is a Puerto Rican phone number and not in English. I've put in multiple complaints but I keep getting the same automated response and I'm tired of waiting for my packages, I know my address is correct! It should not be this hard to do a simple delivery.

      "I'm writing to express my frustration with Temu's failure to deliver promised (20 days CALENDAR GIFTS - one is day two wall mount soap dispenser $12 and second is Ultimate impact wrench $50. Total over $60) gifts. On March 19, 2025, I missed claiming a gift due to a canceled order. The next day, the Temu app prompted me to place a $10 order to reclaim the missed gift. I did so (Order # PO-211-*****************), but I am unable to claim my gifts. There wasnt any options to claim the gifts."I've chatted with Temu's customer service multiple times, but the issue remains unresolved. They initially promised I could claim my gifts on March 21, 2025, but that didn't happen. I'm extremely disappointed in Temu's failure to keep its promises and provide the gifts I earned."I hope the Better Business Bureau can assist in resolving this matter, as I've already spent considerable time and effort trying to resolve it with Temu's customer service."Let me know if you'd like any further adjustments!

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    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.
