  1. [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.
  2. [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!
  3. [R12] Temu 3/5 · US Please stop: Love shopping at temu BUT why do I can to go through 37 prompts and spinning wheels just to shop it’s soooo annoying and I just close the app
  4. [R63] Trendyol 3/5 · US Shopping from Trendyol: The website is good, but the price changes as soon as I add an item to the cart. This happens with every product I choose, which reduces trust in the site and makes it an unreliable and untrustworthy store. · translated
  5. [R34] Temu 1/5 · US Too many ads/promos: 9/10 times I’ll close the app immediately because of all those fake promos. No, I don’t want your free credits just let me shop in peace.
  6. [R51] Temu 1/5 · US The ENDLESS POP-UPS Ruin the Experience: Every time I try to shop on Temu, I end up leaving frustrated. The biggest problem is the ENDLESS POP-UPS and ads. Whenever I click on a Temu ad from Instagram, I’m flooded with promotional messages, games, and special offers that are difficult to close. I just want to shop, not deal with constant interruptions. I really hope Temu reduces these ANNOYING P
  7. [R55] Temu 2/5 · US Frustrating: It’s really hard to browse items if you have to go to all the screens with prize wheels etc, which are distracting and gets me so frustrated that takes 8-10 min to get to the items. So I just go and shop at different apps, which nowadays are a dime a dozen.
  8. [R95] Trendyol 5/5 · US Good: Good for diversity if products and brands. But it’s too heavvvvvvvvy to navigate!!!
  9. [R10] Temu 1/5 · US Scam: Everything they do is very scammy and everything you get is junk.
  10. [R37] Temu 1/5 · US Not good: If you like mostly cheaply made items or getting an item completely opposite of what you ordered then this is your go to. I’ll give it that the stuff is cheap and they have a huge variety but in the end it’s just not worth it.
  11. [R49] Temu 1/5 · US Gimmick: This site make you think you are getting all these nice gifts for your purchase and you don’t receive anything.
  12. [R64] Trendyol 2/5 · US Why you put cheap products and double the price!: I ordered a pet cage which is high price and when i received it it was cheap quality and with no instructions at all ! The only good thing is the delivery and refund! Which is fast
  13. [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.
  14. [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.
  15. [R24] Temu 3/5 · US Scam: You have to buy 4 items just to get one item free huuuh
  16. [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.
  17. [R111] Trendyol 1/5 · US Poor customer service and return policy: Encountered 3 problems with them 1. You get free delivery above 100 SAR but if you return an item and the total of the items you are keeping is less than 100SAR they deduct the return fee from the total refund 2.
