      I placed an order on Temu on April 9, 2025 and paid for it. I see now that the order does not appear on the Temu website and I received no confirmation of the order. In short, I've been defrauded and robbed! To rob.an indigent, disabled man who is 73 years of age is a criminal act, but I've learned that law enforcement in ***************** is also a fraud. Only people with bulging pockets and and an abnormally long list of outrageously expensive assets ever receive protection under the law. Temu has a truly horrendous reputation among its former customers, but nothing is done to stop them from doing their nefarious deeds. With no records or documents to present as evidence, I stand no chance of seeing any justice done on my behalf. My fear is that this is the New Standard in the ************* that the ***************************************************************************************************************** the badly remembered past.

      I have reviewed the response submitted by the business 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. 

      I often turn to BBB when I don't have an option for quick contact. I have learned that it's now a standard to use noreply email addresses or email addresses that deliver to accounts that are not monitored and fax numbers are rarely made available, so making contact swiftly leaves me only one option: contact the BBB. The change of email address was needed urgently because I was notified that **************** had upgraded my email service to expensive plans without my permission; at 73 years of age when I have never owned nor managed any kind of business, I certainly would never have chosen any kind of business account; when that was made known to me, I immediately decided to close that account. I needed to make the change as quickly as possible.

      I'm a published writer in three languages, and I wrote an editorial on that very subject. I am posting the link to it here:

      Hiding from Humans
      ********************************

      Because I lived abroad for over two decades, many of the changes in customs were not familiar to me, but as I have learned, these changes are throughout the Western world. That means I have had to acquire a new education to know how to manage here, and that's an ongoing process.

      Today April 9th 2025 I made a purchase of 3 items, a pair of earrings, a saw, and a cross. The app kept deselecting the earrings in my cart and I reselected them and hit checkout. The order showed them and the amount billed showed them. I was then sent to the payment screen. I paid and checked my email but the order confirmation stated my order was broken into 2 orders and the earrings were not included. I also received an email that I get the exact same earrings for .29 if I clicked a button. It sent me to a purchasing screen which then told me I had to purchase 20 more dollars of merch to get the earrings I contractually purchased a few minutes earlier with a ***** + order. This is bait and switch. They cant change the order once you purchase, the earrings were clearly available at a reduced price even. They also raise the prices after you click the checkout button and make payment and raise it after it is added to your cart. Dont get me started on farmland. Its basically illegal gaming, that you can never win the free items, they just keep raising the bar.The app is deceptive. Temu has decent merch it could offer honestly at a fair price without the stupid psyop designed to demoralize Americans. I feel like c*** when I purchase on Temu. Its predatory, esp to the elderly and disabled, and its proud of it. We dont do business like that in *******. We have morals and self-respect.

      I purchased a cordless robotic pool cleaner, model Y50, from Temu. #PO 211-18420859392633466. I paid $399.37. The product was provided by and shipped from **** US. I received it on September 21, 2024. It performed properly for six months and then would not start after being fully charged. The User Manual states that there is a 12 monthly warranty. I have contacted Temu several times in order to get a refund, with no resolution. Temu wants me to accept a partial refund of $110.00, which is totally unsatisfactory to me. I can provide copies of my communication between Temu and myself, if necessary.Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

      I had order 57 items of stuff from Temu last month in March because I was suppose to be going on vacation on the first of April. My things were suppose to arriving before March 23, 2024. Around march ***** my items were supposed to be delivered. I got one package from Temu which was my free gifts for buying from them. My other two packages were supposed to come , they said delivered but I never received them. When i contacted **** they said they delivered them still no packages. Well when i order the 57 items I also ordered a glass table which came with two end tables. ***** sends a. Pic to my email where they left the package and it was at another persons address. Contacts Temu and ***** and tell them thats the wrong address and specifically said on deliver instructions to deliver with the only teal mailbox. Asked my neighbors and still no packages. I sent Temu the picture where ***** delivered the table to because this is where the rest of my packages got delivered. For two weeks I have tried to get a refund but they keep saying sorry for the inconvenience the package was delivered to the address and they cannot fix it . So I spent over 700 on items I cant get back or even the money I spent back on the items even when I sent them proof that the packages did not get to delivered to my apartment! I even asked for corporate number to get it resolved and they keep telling me its against their company policy to give out corporate number but dont want to give me back my refund for the items I never received!

      Two times now Ive ordered a pack of 50 pieces of blank pendants. The second time came double stuffed in a smaller bag. And it does not have 50 pieces in it. Ive been making my jewelry with them and starting to get low, and counting and reaping I have at least ten less than I should. And Temu keeps says that they sent it but ignores that it is missing pieces. It was like $5 for just those.

      Im filing this complaint regarding the unfair suspension of my Temu account, which has caused financial loss and frustration. Ive been a loyal customer of ********************** for over two years and have placed a large volume of orders during that time. Recently, my account was suspended due to what they described as an unusual number of return *********** a frequent shopper with a busy schedule, I occasionally return items that either dont arrive in time for planned events or dont fit due to sizing inconsistencies (common with U.S. vs. Asian sizing). All items were returned in their original, unused condition, and every return was made within Temus official return policy.I have submitted multiple appeals explaining my situation in detail. However, Ive only received generic, automated email responses that do not address any of the specific points I raised. I believe no real person has actually reviewed my appeal, and the business has made no genuine effort to resolve the ********** make matters worse, I have money in the form of store credits on the account, which I am now completely unable to access or use. This feels like an unfair punishment and a complete disregard for a loyal customer.I am asking the ******************** to help resolve this issue by urging Temu to reinstate my account so I can continue using the service.Thank you for your time and support.

      Hello *****,

      I am ***** from Temu.com. I'm writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I've provided the BBB with a copy of this message.

      Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.

      Your Temu account has been suspended due to the following reasons:

      1. You may have previously disputed or are currently disputing Temu charges with your financial institution
      2. You have requested refunds for a significant number of your orders and the rate at which such problems have occurred on your account is too high.

      If you think either there is a misunderstanding in this process such as the dispute about Temu charges between you and your financial institution has been settled or the amount of refund requests for your orders is reasonable, you can click on the 'Learn more' link in the account suspension notification on your profile page and follow the instructions to initiate an appeal. Please be aware that submitting an appeal does not guarantee that youll regain access to your account.

      Unpursuable:
      BBB is unable to locate the business.
      I purchased goods from the company twice. Both times they mailed my package to the wrong address. I looked at my receipt and it shows the correct address. When you see the package address it is not mine.All I want is for the company to compensate me for items I currently have drying in my cart for exchange of the hassle. I have to now pay for credit monitoring and cancel my credit card. I want them to be held accountable. They are denying any wrongdoing and wont help me.
