Temu: Shop Like a Billionaire

They say they'll give you good discounts and for all intents and purposes the items they sell are usually cheap. But they make you jump through dozens of hoops to get them. It's a frustrating experience to say the least. I do not want to place 5 or more purchases of items I didn't even want simply to get a discount on the 1 item I really needed. If I could give any less stars I would but this system requires I at least a single star to make a review. 0/10 I will ACTIVELY tell everyone to avoid.

This is a nice app, offering prices that are far more competitive than on the other marketplaces. However, the risk of receiving a defective item (or one that doesn't match the advertised description or photos) is significantly higher here. And even in such cases, Temu's policy is quite accommodating; they readily issue refunds if a customer isn't satisfied with their purchase for any reason. But the amount of spam featuring various "discounts" and endless animations is overwhelming.

Addicting. Business model strings you along and keeps you in the dark, needing more in the "deal" forcing you to check out but asking for more. Disappointed to have "free delivery" and multiple exceptions. Need to get at least $30 here and now at least $30 at this other location or pay shipping. I shouldn't have to pay shipping for one item that is well over $60 in total.
