I've made another temu order. The one from a little while ago was the first package I'd received in over a decade

Their sizing usually runs on the small side

Oh, it’s a lottery?

I almost went door dash but feeling like that would be a gamble too.

Door Dash and Temu are wiiiidly different. Door Dash is like Uber, Temu is like... "what part of the description did they deliberately mislead me on so they could deliver a rug that's for ants?"

I've only been scammed for $3 from my last order which isn't that bad. Instead of a canvas print, it was a colour photocopied piece of paper πŸ˜‚

Claim a refund. You can return anything, for any reason. Something like that, (especially when you put the reason in that it was not as described) they often don't even want you to return it.

The other thing you should do with Temu is go to any past orders (within two weeks) and click on the price adjustment button - it the price has gone down since you purchased they will give you a credit for the difference.

Sorry, not on a one to one basis.

I always have this nagging feeling something would happen to my order.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Omg that's awesome. I hope it's as cool when it shows up!!
