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.
