No issues with them.  What I ordered was things I really could not find easily around here or online.  Had one problem and they refunded my money, no questions asked.  

 

Actually most things we own these days have Chinese labels. 

 

Only thing is the amount of emails daily from them.  Tempting.

This makes sense they have a warehouse in the eastern U.S.  I get my orders so fast, less than a week.  They also update with emails with shipping dates, tracking # and any delay information.  I am finding more & more friends order from them.

i buy from them.  So far no problems.  They do drive me nuts with  so many emails and offers.  I am probably going to cut back simply because I have all I need.  

 

Their prices are great.  I had one problem and they gave me immediate credit.  And I will add most of my clothing and possessions have Made in China labels no matter where I get them or the price point. Check yours out.

CCP has to much influence on us as it is. I would not go near this website. Same with Tik Tok.

Pulled up past thread where some voiced concerns about privacy on TEMU. 

 

Just received a notification that the Arkansas Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against TEMU for having malicious malware that has been collecting personal data.

 

This is what many of us feared. If you've done business with TEMU, be alert to potential issues. Who knows what hands that information has fallen into.

back in august of last year.... to make a long story short i had at least 5 credit cards opened up with my info...i called them all.... had to go through soooo much and alot of my time to clear all that up... and i froze all my credit info.. which was also a job, to call all 3 credit beauras... and after all of that i got a letter in the mail about 3 months ago saying to access your credit with applying for this card you must unlock your credit info..... so they are still trying...... and to top it all off, my manager at my job called me into the office and asked if and why i applied for unemployment??????  they took it so far that they applied for unemployment with my company under my name!!!! talk about stupid.. like i wouldnt catch that!!!!   and all this happened about 2 months after i bought some things off of temu... my 1st time and my last time!!!  im not saying it was temu... but its the only site i got things from and this has happened.. just seemed odd.

@bonnie f Oh my word, your situation sounds awful. I can relate to how bad this can be after being hacked at my credit union. They caught it and notified clients, but it was too late. Lots of damage has been done. I'm probably in the top 5 of the Dark Web. I have everything so frozen I have a hard time getting into it myself. 

 

But TEMU, yikes, I wouldn't doubt that they were the source of your hack. Just like with my hack, the personal info that these data collectors obtain is sold around the darn world. I had a new credit card from the credit union, too, that had never been used, well, until someone used my card number in London. Seems it was traveling without me. 

 

I'm so leery now of doing any online business these days and I'm not interested in loading my devices with apps for everything under the sun. I'm sure you're feeling the same. But, we're being pushed into more online/phone business, with every turn, without concern that it's increasingly unsafe. And, when it goes south, we're left to defend ourselves. I'm tired of people shrugging this problem off. 

 

I hope that you have your situation under better control and the attacks have stopped, or slowed. The stress of these situations can be emotionally and physically harmful. It has been for me.
