I buy stuff online a lot. Very frequently, i should say. I barely have the time to go out and get things I want due to my schedule. I buy from online social media vendors more than i do from buying and selling platforms like Jumia and the rest. I buy a lot from my whatsapp vendors and Facebook sellers.
For most of my purchases, I've had them good. Just as I had ordered. I have gotten items ranging from clothes, footwear, gadgets, accessories, and other items online. Last year was the year that I did what I consider an online shopping marathon. I was getting things almost every month online. Back to back.
In November last year, I got a new laptop and a new iPhone from an online store. It was my first purchase from them, and they delivered just what I ordered in good condition.
Last month, December, when Temu was in all our faces and a person had barely done two scrolls before an ad from the store popped up, I just decided to check out the platform. Their free shopping deals were tempting, and admittedly, I fell for it. It was only after I had gotten items worth the stipulated amount before I could access the free shopping they had stated. Unfortunately, there were other financial requirements that I could not reach. Scam! Lmao.
Anyways, they had really nice stuff for fair enough prices, and I placed my orders.
I received my order later than I should have, and it was all good. I got this slip-on, and the quality and look was just as I had seen on their page. It was okay. I got two bangles/bracelets, and they were good too. The wristwatch, though, fell below my expectation as I received something of lower quality than was displayed on their page. It was still good. Prices were fair. Do you know the surprising aspect? Cause I had made complaints about my delivery which delayed, they made a refund to me and still let me keep the wares. All of it. I was very surprised. I've been thinking how they managed to keep up with business if they had to do this for every customer that laid a complaint. They must have their own ways.
Although I have read reviews online about how Temu was disappointing based on what was received, I think that the customers did not read through item description, details, and reviews thoroughly. I'm speaking based on my own experience.
I don't fall in the category of people who have had bad online shopping experiences. Mine, mostly, have gone smoothly, and I always received just what I ordered. Smooth!

I’m equally as surprised as you were and I’m wondering how they keep business ongoing if that’s what they do.
I'm really interested to know how they do it.
