Some people have expressed concerns about using the dedicated Temu mobile app, as it seems that it could potentially steal data from a phone.  However I'd be happy enough to buy from Temu's website. (I buy from Temu's biggest rival frequently and I've never had a problem. I can't see why Temu itself would be any different).

A son buys from Temu via the app, pretty frequently. So far, no problems.

I’ve purchased a few times from Temu using a credit card without issue – they even refunded me when I received an incorrect item (not as ordered).

Thanks all x

I always pay via Paypal, so you are covered if anything goes wrong. Having said that, I've bought loads of stuff on there and never had a problem returning stuff and getting a refund. Sometimes, depending on how much it costs, you can get a refund without returning the stuff!

I'm sure they are fairly OK but I wouldn't touch any of their stuff with a bargepole. There is plenty of evidence of toxicity content levels being breached for Western standards, including things such as in clothing and children's shoes etc etc. Never mind the moral issue of the working conditions of those who make all these unbelievably cheap goods.  You don't get something for nothing.

I have bought items from Temu for about two years now and pay by Paypal. No problems at all. However Temu has started selling things from businesses here in the UK. I was surprised last week when ,after putting an order in  I received two of the packets two days after.One was from 15 miles away.  I don't know why they are doing this but maybe you should check when putting an order in. I should say that the items were still cheap.
