Does This Sound Too Good To Be True? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Caroline13 · 10-13-2023, 02:18 PM

A company appeared on my computer and they ship Everything Free? I was buying a pair of gloves to use at computer, fingers out. and cost was 5.35 and free shipping, and then I got suspicious and left the site. Company is TEMU, anyone know it, experience with it?

They had some wild Halloween stuff for sale and cheap cheap if anyone is into this buying area....other stuff too, but I'm not into buying now, getting rid of stuff...

I second and third guess everything now with this wild wide open net...

Oh now I'm reading 10.00 minimum order for free shipping.

TEMU has a very bad reputation after just a few months of operation. From the article: They are starting to develop a reputation for undelivered packages, mysterious charges, incorrect orders, and unresponsive customer service. Temu has already been subject to more than 30 complaints to the Better Business Bureau, and has a BBB customer rating of less than 1.5 stars.

As David Horowitz would say for many years on his consumer advocate show Fight Back! with David Horowitz, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

You are correct. A friend of mine started using Temu not too long ago and already is having problems with them ! And the items look/ are really cheaply made too.

I always had a bad feeling about TEMU and it seems my feelings have been confirmed.

Dude111 · 10-21-2023, 06:05 PM

They probably get ya for fees some other way!

I always thought Teemu was quite reliable

From Wikipedia,
Temu is an online marketplace operated by the Chinese e-commerce company PDD Holdings Inc. and headquartered in Boston.[5][6] It offers heavily discounted goods,[7] which are mostly shipped to consumers directly from China.

They advertise heavily on Facebook.
