MT Week - What is it like to shop on Temu?

Launched in the UK in April 2023, shopping app Temu has gone from a platform that no one’s ever heard of to one that’s seemingly ubiquitous in just a year.

It’s not hard to see why.

Huge sums of money has been pumped into advertising while a robust affiliate program that’s open to everyone means “word of mouth” is equally rampant.

And then there are the ridiculously low prices.

You can pick up everything from clothes to homeware for a fraction of what you might find anywhere else, and some products cost just a few pennies.

But there are complaints too, from poor quality products to bad customer service.
