Phone (Limited):

Acknowledgment:
Temu responds to Live Chat complaints within minutes and emails or form submissions within 24–48 hours, assigning you a ticket number.
Assigned Support Agent:
A customer service agent will review your issue, often resolving simple complaints (refunds, returns, order issues) during your initial contact. Complex complaints (lost packages, account issues) typically require 1–2 days for investigation.
Resolution Timelines:
- Simple Issues: Immediate resolution via live chat.
- Complex Issues: Usually 1–2 days, but longer during high-volume periods.
Follow-up Contact:
Temu contacts you via your original channel (app or email), providing resolution updates, refund confirmations, or instructions.
Escalation Internally:
Unresolved issues get escalated to supervisors. Temu prioritises customer satisfaction but recommends polite persistence and comprehensive communication.

Complaints submitted through Ajust
I’ve been waiting months for my orders to arrive and still nothing has turned up. Every time I check, there’s no update and no explanation. It’s frustrating to feel completely ignored when I just want what I paid for. - Sheryl
I ordered two shirts from Temu and both were way too small. The sizing was completely off, and it’s disappointing to get products that don’t match the description or fit as promised. - Robert
I’m fed up with Temu ads popping up everywhere I go online. It’s constant, invasive, and makes me less likely to shop with them at all. - Matthias
I returned goods to Temu in early July, confirmed by their warehouse, but instead of refunding to my Visa they offered store credit. After multiple chat attempts, I was pushed to link to a $1 trial that would charge $66 a month. That’s not the resolution I wanted. - Susan
