TEMU

coffee drinker — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 23:12:24 GMT

Has anyone shopped at this sight. If so what has your experience been? I'm pretty reluctant using my Visa card for obvious reasons. Some of the stuff is pretty expensive, but you have to "dig" through descriptions or even Google to determine how big or small something is.

I have always avoided it.

DD gets some clothes there. I wouldn't because I would be worried about how to pay. She said she uses PayPal or Apple Pay. She never pays with a card.

From talking to her and seeing what she has bought, I think the clothes run small.

I've read lots of complaints about missing orders, merchandise not being as advertised and, let's face it, it's cheap junk. Don't give a cc number.

Had a couple of friends that ordered a few things, but the items were so cheaply made they just tossed in the trash.

I never have and never will but my cousin loves buying stuff from there. The shipping can be long. And she liked everything she purchased.

I have purchased many items from Temu and have never had an issue. There are things marked "local warehouse" that come very quickly. It's not somewhere I would buy clothing from but my purchases have been Christmas decor, items I have used for work events and parties.

I've never shopped there, but it seems to be a popular place. As others have stated, buying clothing may be a challenge.

Thank you all for your responses. Won't be ordering anything from there. Like they say, "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is."

I agree with @Tori3569 the ones that come from local warehouses I have received quickly. Also only purchased a few home decor type items.

i shopped on there 1 time over 2 yrs ago... about 3 to 5 months later, my identity was stolen... dont know if it was from shopping on temu or not... alot of people i know shop there with no problems... but im only thinking it was temu because that was the only new place i shopped on before it happened.. letters from credit card companies came in my mail... bank statements from banks i dont use??? i called all the places and told them... i had my credit locked and will always have it locked.. even over a yr later they were still trying because i got another credit card company letter in my mail.... i must have gotten at least 6 letters in the mail from different card companies and banks...like i said may not have been temu.. but it just seems odd the only new place i ordered from than that happened... alot of people i know never that that problem though... i did get a new credit card since then of course. and i check my statements all the time still to this day... the lady i talked to from one of tha banks told me i will always have to be on high alert.. they may lay low for a little bit. then keep on trying... its scary!!

When my daughter was ub high school she wanted to order from TEMU because her friends were. Didn't allow it because of their history of complaints.

Long-time, satisfied customer of TEMU.

I pay via Paypal, and with the exception of a couple of items, everything I've ordered I've been pleased with.

And yes, some of the sizes run small (Chinese sizing, perhaps?)

As a matter of fact, I'm wearing a (Temu) sun dress and some sneakers as I type this.

@LavernLuvsShoes

I used PayPal too when I ordered cashmere/wool blend socks. They are well made and far exceded my expectation. Then I ordered a bird feeder and it's as nice as any I've bought at three times the price. Temu has things that are hard or impossible to find. All sorts of novelties, garden things, car things, I've started a list.

my grands order from them now and then. I personally find it offensive to the American businessmen here who can offer the same thing for maybe a little more. Sometimes the same. I have found many people do this to save money, so they can buy more stuff, not necessarily because they have to. But to each their own. I buy US, no matter what when available. Isn't much I haven't found available. Jmho of course
