Dear all,

I write to you today with a heavy heart, seeking justice and urging you to be cautious when dealing with TEMU. My recent encounter with this company has left me emotionally devastated and financially burdened, as their poor customer service and unscrupulous practices have taken a toll on my well-being. Allow me to share the full extent of my distressing experience, in the hope that it will prevent others from falling victim to TEMU's deceptive tactics.

On June 15, I placed two separate orders with TEMU, totaling approximately $290. One order, valued at around $190, consisted of six dresses that were meant to be worn at my rehearsal dinner, engagement party, and photoshoot. The other order amounted to $100. My intention was to have options for different events and capture precious memories. Little did I know that my trust in TEMU would be shattered.

When the first package arrived within a week, I eagerly opened it, only to find that it did not contain any of the dresses I had ordered. My heart sank, and I immediately reached out to TEMU's customer service through their chat feature. I inquired if the shipment had been divided into two parts, to which the representative replied that it had not. Devastated and overwhelmed, I requested a refund, as I had no other options for my upcoming event. Tears streamed down my face as I realized I would be left without anything to wear.

To my dismay, the next day, I received a notification stating that my refund had been canceled or denied. The blow was more than I could bear. I once again initiated a conversation with TEMU's customer service, but the lack of a phone support option forced me to recount my distressing experience through text, wasting precious time that I could have used to find an alternative solution. I pleaded with them to reconsider my refund request, hoping that someone would show compassion and understanding.

Finally, a ticket was created, promising the intervention of a supervisor who would address my issue. However, the process was riddled with delays and a complete lack of empathy. It took a staggering 16 hours for the ticket to be assigned to someone. This clearly demonstrates TEMU's disregard for the urgency and emotional distress caused by their actions. As my anxiety grew, I had to take time off work to cope with the heartbreaking situation they had thrust upon me.

When the supervisor finally took charge, I hoped for a swift resolution. However, instead of addressing the issue at hand, the supervisor requested an unnecessary investigation, further prolonging my agony. Days turned into sleepless nights as I anxiously waited for a resolution. It was then that the supervisor accused me of being dishonest and lacking integrity, telling me to be "honest" in their response. This gaslighting and baseless accusation only added insult to injury. I had already provided clear evidence of the empty box and expressed my genuine desperation.

To my utter dismay, after nearly 40 hours of waiting, the supervisor responded with a resounding denial of my refund request. They claimed that, according to their video footage, the dresses were shipped and therefore, they were absolved of any responsibility. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Was TEMU suggesting that they could wash their hands of the situation simply because they had shipped the product? This blatant disregard for customer satisfaction, the refusal to acknowledge their liability, and the audacity to accuse me of dishonesty left me feeling humiliated, angry, and utterly defeated.

The toll this ordeal has taken on my emotional well-being cannot be understated. TEMU's callous treatment has caused me immense distress, leading to panic attacks and sleepless nights. Moreover, the impact on my personal life has been devastating. They have managed to ruin my engagement party, a momentous occasion that was meant to be filled with joy and celebration. Instead, I was left feeling foolish and insignificant, with no dress to wear.

The profound negative impact of TEMU's actions has forced me to reconsider important life decisions. I am currently contemplating postponing my wedding due to the emotional distress inflicted upon me by this ordeal. The accusation of dishonesty, the heartless customer service, and the tremendous toll this experience has taken on my mental and physical well-being have pushed me to the edge.

I refuse to be silenced. I will hold TEMU accountable for their deceitful practices and the havoc they have wrought upon my life. My determination to seek justice and prevent others from falling into their trap knows no bounds. I will not rest until I receive the resolution I deserve.

If you have experienced a similar ordeal with TEMU, I implore you to reach out to me. Together, we can put an end to this nonsense and ensure that no one else falls prey to their exploitative practices. TEMU must be held accountable for their actions and the emotional distress they inflict upon innocent customers.

Please share this post far and wide, so that no one else has to endure the pain and suffering that I have experienced. Let us stand united against TEMU's deception, gaslighting, and heartless customer service.

Hi to all of you out there who have had ghastly experiences with Temu.

I did not knowingly order from them as I could see their prices were too good to be true.

(I thought I was ordering from Indian craftsmen - the products were not cheap but turned out to be from Temu anyway.)

Also China has an appalling human rights record and the cheap companies rely on slave labour.

They lock their workers in at night to prevent them committing suicide.

Please tell everyone you know to do the impossible and avoid buying Chinese products.

Pardon my English.

I am delighted with your review. Oh my gods, what a style ! It's a poem !

As for me, Temu fooled me. I sent a refund for 3 items but they only gave me a refund for one. They cynically stated that they only received one item.

I had to just stop buying there. This past week my order The whole order 7 items was delivered. Inside the parcel everything was soaked with hydraulic fluid. SEEMS one of the lift trucks that load the cargo carriers blew a Lift cylinder and punctured the TEMU wrapping and that stuff was hot and melted the plastic wrapping and soaked everything with fluid. I made a video, and took photos,,Posted everything on youtube, tictok and rumble. they refuse to refund me. The fluid worked as a acid and dissolved the material my wife's dress was made of. below is a photo.

They didnt. And it smelled so bad of Gasoline that they refused to ship it back. I got FEDEX to draft a letter and they still refused it.

I had a similar issue this week. I am a semi-skilled mechanic. I am working on a chain saw and ordered a in-line gas filter right?. They send me a hand gun silencer. It was detained at customs. Well I sent them the letter I got at customs, and now we are in a legal battle. They will not refund me.. So I hired a Federal Attorney and I am suing them. As of Thursday they removed all their firearm silencers they have listed as fuel filters and are in deep hot water. What they do not know, Is that that is a Bozo-no no. And I have all the documents to back up my claim.
