I Let me try and summarize...., I returned an item I purchased and they will not refund me. The item is worth $164.82 since november, 2024, they keep tosing me back and forth speaking with different Customer agent who claim to be opening tickets each time . Its over two months and they will not refund yet. The thing is , they claim that they do not recieve the item you returned snd when you provide evidence they toss you around . Thankfully i have all return reciepts and evidences , i even contacted **** because i had shipped the item via ***** the return label they gave me ) *** confirmed thst the item was handed over to them at the address of return. I managed to to add a customer support from ******************** to the call either someone from **** and immediately I announced that ***** is a third party on this call from *** to clarify issues, the temu agent got ***et and hung up the call. I even went as far as doing a chargeback with Afterpay, ( i really regret using afterpay, because they do not care about whatever you go through as their customer, they only are concerned about you paying then) uno, afterpay did not help, but Temu even got ***et that i had reported to my bank ( Afterpay) they wuickly started claiming that there is a charge back on the account hence they are unable to process my refund. This took over 6 weeks after over the first 4 weeks of begging for my refund from temu to no avail. Finally i reached out to afterpay with messages proof that temu is claiming that they already took the money and Afterpay denied that happening. Again an agent from afterpay was added to a call with a Temu specialist and they acted like they were going to issue my refund, they even ask for proof( a message from afterpay saying they never process a charge back) which I provided. Up until this moment, they have not issued my refund .Business Response

On 12/17/24, my Temu package worth $110.74 was stolen. I reported the stolen package through ********** and called customer service, who informed me that they would look into it. However, I have not heard back from with an update or my refund. It has been 1month since my report. In my report, I included the office phone number of my apartment to assist with their investigation. I have yet to find out whether they contacted the office or are checking the surveillance footage, as I mentioned to UNIUNI multiple times that there are cameras in the area where the package was left. This situation could have been avoided if the ****** delivery personnel had dropped off my package at my apartment door,#***, which is included in the address. I am requesting my refund and will no longer use any delivery service associated with ******. A uniuni representative assured me they would reach out within 24hrs to conduct an investigation, but it has now been a month without any communication. As of 12/28/24, I am unable to create a ticket on the ********** support site. I waited for 53MIN when I called customer service, and then the call dropped.This situation is frustrating and has caused me a lot of anxiety during the holidays. I need my ********* has been over a month. I have reached out to neighbors, the manager of the apartment, and Maintenace and no one has seen my package. I have seen on the internet that this has happened multiple times with this company, where they take several pictures of the package drop-off, but there is actually no package.This is starting to feel like fraud and theft. I have called customer service several times, but the calls always seem to drop whenever Im in the process of explaining my situation.Please help me; I dont know what else to do. They took my money, and it seems they have done this to other people as well. I would not be reaching out to the Better Business Bureau if I hadnt tried multiple times to resolve the issue directly with ******.Business Response

Temu offered a promotion to get 10x $10 off coupons which stated there was no minimum purchase. You had to place two orders - one of minimum $15 and one of minimum $60 to get the coupons. I placed the orders and got the coupons. I placed an order of just over $10 to get the $10 off on the order. When I went to use the next coupon, I could not - as there was suddenly a $35 minimum purchase for each order - $35 AFTER the coupon discount. When I contacted customer service, they refused to remove the minimum order amount. I uploaded photos of the coupons that clearly state no minimum purchase and they still would not remove the minimum purchase. This is an unfair bait and switch tactic.Business Response

To ***** *********** *******,I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding my order from Temu, Order #PO-211-09758998600231622, placed for a LetsCamp chair totaling $48.48. Despite multiple follow-ups and assurances, I have yet to receive the item.The timeline of events is as follows:1.I was traveling during both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and instructed my concierge supervisor to hold all shipments until my return.2.Upon noticing the chair had not been delivered, I reached out to Temu via its AI chatbot. Initially, I was informed that the item was marked as delivered and that I would not be eligible for a refund.3.After further persistence, another representative assured me the chair would be resent, which I agreed to. However, as of today, I have not received the item or any communication regarding its status.4.Attempts to resolve the matter through your customer service hotline *************) have been equally frustrating, with extended hold times often leading to disconnection.This experience has been disappointing and unacceptable. The lack of accountability and resolution has undermined my confidence in Temu's services. For comparison, other platforms such as ****** offer far superior customer service and dispute resolution processes.I cannot speak to a HUMAN!!! I am tired of the poor customer service after all of the business I give you I am now convinced this is a SCAM YOU DONT PROVIDE SERVICE SUCH AS ******. Credit back my Affirm account ASAP.I am now demanding a full refund of $48.48, as Temu has failed to fulfill its obligations under the transaction. Should this issue not be resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint further.Please confirm receipt of this email and provide a timeline for when I can expect a resolution.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt *******************Business Response

I've explained to Temu customer service that *** does not deliver to my address! Temu customer has dismissed me stating "wrong address or insufficient address details!" The order is not even showing Temu it shows as ****** I tried to provide evidence of this they state they can't receive emails. This is very disrespectful especially when I've spent a lot of money with Temu! All of the orders sent via *** have never been delivered, all other orders are delivered with OnTrack. I even pointed this out & I got the same response. I'm currently waiting to file a lawsuit against *** for not delivering & wasting time. If this is what I have to do to get Temu to understand the situation and adjust my order deliveries to a reliable courier ie. OnTrack I will not order from Temu again!Business Response

I placed an order on temu the order number is PO-211-*****************. I was not given a shipping option instead temu took it upon themselves to change my shipping to shipping by sea taking the order twice as long. The claim its due to size and weight however i have ordered bigger packages and they shipped normally. Now when i reached out to customer service about this i was treated as if i didnt matter to their business. I was told i would receive a $5 credit for compensation along with a partial refund for only $16 however when i accepted these two offers i was told i would not receive them. I want a full refund for the entire order the amount of which is $45.58. i also want the $5 credit in which I was offered.Business Response
