Have You Ordered Anything From Temu Website?

I heard for about a year now that some people have had their banking accounts hacked and money removed after using a Temu account to order things. But now I find out that they will accept Visa cards so wouldn’t have to worry about my bank account getting hacked that way. I started seeing a lot of identical things that I have been looking for on Amazon selling for about 50-75% less than what Amazon and other sites sell the same thing for. Now rethinking of ordering. The worst drawback is that it might take up to 3 weeks to get the package shipped. But they offer refunds and pay for postage if you send something back that is defective. I already have a list of things I want to order and may get a $100 Visa card to do just that.

My one and only order from Temu resulted in my bank denying/delaying the payment from my debit card as a precaution to a potentially fraudulant website. I cancelled the order.

@LoneVoice I will use a prepaid Visa card instead of using my bank card. They don’t need to know what my card numbers are. And the Visa card will be nearly maxed out with my order when I get it. I already have 36 items in the cart, some stationary items, hats & head coverings, magnetic shower drain screen covers (I have shed a lot of hair this past year being anemic and it’s a hassle to pull the hair out of the drain), wood honey dipper, easy to thread sewing needles, 6-in-1 portable DVD player etc., ring size adjusters, a plastic ring size thing to measure my finger since I’ve lost so much weight, 5-piece plastic drain uncloggers (they are $1.25 each at Dollar Tree and $1.78 for 5 of them on Temu), 2 window bird feeders and 1 window hummingbird feeder (I want to watch them feed from inside my home), rice washing bowl, a long 2-cup house bird feeder for the cage, they sell for $9 at the pet store and same thing on Temu is only $2.24, rice bowl strainer because I am tired of losing rice down the drain when I pour off the water and keep rinsing a few times, a strong fishing magnet, heavy duty hook magnets, and a 2-size wood tart tamper to make tart shells in mini and regular size muffin tins. So far this is what I got at @ $105.35. Might as well go right after Walmart opens tomorrow morning and get the Visa card and send the order in the morning. Everything I bought is probably a third or a quarter of what I’d pay online or in a store.
