Do you trust Temu? It's too good to be true

Temu is a subsidiary of a huge company in China, PDD Holdings, (Pinduoduo). They have a bad reputation.

They are somewhat famous for selling very shoddy or non existent items. They are quite likely to perform data collection on your account, just as TikTok does. They place fake reviews under their items for sale to falsely make users believe that the item is good. Their refund guarantees are also false.

The only safe way to pay for an item from Temu is through a third party, such as Paypal. Beware of scams from Temu which attempt to sell you a "crate" filled with "free" items, but they refuse to allow you to buy same unless you give them your credit card number.

Once they have your email address, it is almost impossible to get them to stop emailing you regarding the "crate" scam. You can mark it as spam a hundred times, and it will keep coming back.

I ordered two items from them. I heard of them when my cleaning lady mentioned that she bought her sneakers from them for only $10.

BOTH times, there was a bait and switch. A very low price was advertised, but when I tried to order in a different color, the price went up...quite a bit. I tried to order one of those "sweater shavers", and again, there was a bait and switch. I ended up ordering one that seemed nicer...till I received it...and it only takes very hard to find batteries.

they're a legit company but are being investigated for forced/child labour.

I think it depends on what you buy from there. Somethings are too good to be true. My friend bought a rug from there and It looked like nice quality, just like the picture. I stick with Amazon and stores so I can return with no issues.

I checked out a review website and it seems like a lot of people don't get what they ordered.

It's the choice of youtube influencers peddling their sponsorships so they can make money off their heard-earned views with their meaningless testimonials (and "life hacks"). They have a shoddy record of quality, delivery, and returns. Too good to be true, indeed.

My bank card blocks them.

they indeed seem too good to be true but be that as it may...enjoy them while u can...lol

No, damaged or missing products. Low quality. Size comparison is misleading. Use gift cards to pay with cash.

I heard a commercial on the radio and it's pronounced tehmoo

No. Reviews indicate low quality/different items, etc.

I know people who love it. Never order myself.

Poor quality. Unresponsive customer service

I do not. I have never and will never order from them.

It’s OK .Delivery is very slow.

nope, it's cheap junk.

Totally don't trust Temu, the reviews I've been seeing on the products are pretty universal about the low quality of the products. I see the boomer generation is all in, but they are used to buying crap.

Do you trust Amazon? Temu is no different. Human rights abuse, slave labour, junk product, exploitation of workers...

No, mostly because I could never support that based on what I've heard about them utilising child labour.

I've gotten a few things from there; no worse than all the other chinese shit you get from everywhere else... 🤷🏻

I dont wish them success because that would be the end of US based eCommerce sites.

It’s probably dollar store quality

Who... Or what... Is this "Temu" that you speak of?

I must not. It must be

Nope
