  1. [R2] Temu 5/5 · US Shop like a billionaire: Man, you can buy everything off of Temu
  2. [R10] Temu 1/5 · US Scam: Everything they do is very scammy and everything you get is junk.
  3. [R15] Temu 3/5 · US Bruh: Bruh!!!! I have been shopping here and it’s the WORST experience there are ugly woman boy suits that show your stuff and everything that they say is FREE isn’t FREE
  4. [R18] Temu 3/5 · US Temu: I do like this app. Most products I receive are good. How ever when I buy rings in my size they are either to big or to small. This has happened three separate times. This is very frustrating.
  5. [R1] Temu 1/5 · US Keep it simple please!: I want to shop from temu but they want me to play casino games as soon as I launch their app. Then I turn off the app.
  6. [R3] Temu 3/5 · US I like it but there is an issue: I really do enjoy this app, but I don’t want to have to spend $20 minimum to buy things. Like I have what I want to checkout and it won’t allow me. It really sucks and I don’t use the app anymore because of this.
  7. [R7] Temu 1/5 · US Annoying app!: There are a lot of good things that you can buy in Temu. The thing is the app itself sucks! You have to go thru hoops everytime you open it. I just need to shop but too many things to click thru! It’s very annoying! I don’t want to play a game! I just need to shop!
  8. [R9] Temu 3/5 · US Use it when needed but not happy with it.: Very disappointed how much It changed from the beginning; all the promotions and games now are worth nothing, everything is a run around and waste of time, which sucks since you can easily spend so much money on here with certain things. Instead of making you shop on specific pages, you should be allowed to choose what you want to reach the amount needed
  9. [R17] Temu 5/5 · US Muy buenos precios: Productos buenos y entregas rápidas
  10. [R19] Temu 1/5 · US No se si es así q lo entregan: El pedido estaba abierto ya
  11. [R21] Temu 3/5 · US Rating: Slow shipping. I hate the little promos. Always says free items, 100% off and it never happens. Always have to spend more money to get nothing. I have gotten a lot of good things and bad things but the promos drive me crazy.
  12. [R4] Temu 1/5 · US Free gift not true: I try the free gift and invited a lot of people but still not enough.. it says that the energy is not enough. So how Many people should you invite.🤦‍♀️
  13. [R6] Temu 3/5 · US temu review: temu be scamming . temu say you can get free gift and make you buy things just for the free gift. and you still might not get the free gift.
  14. [R22] Temu 2/5 · US Ripe Off: I spent so much money with your company half the time I get the right size half the time I get an extra large or whatever you have in stock and then you tell me I get all this money and I have to buy more to get it. Kiss my butt. I wish I could send everything back that I have and will not wear and get a refund, but I know that won’t happen.
  15. [R39] Temu 3/5 · GB Pot luck: 50% of the stuff that I gave bought has been junk not as advertised and that means a trip to the post office to return it! Like today’s junk an air tool with the wrong type of fittings on the sanding discs! For food and drink Temu are quite good but watch the sell by dates as these are usually short. I bought walkers quaver crisps in bulk which only a month left on the sell by date.
