1. How do I make a return?
You can make a return by following these steps:
I. Please go to your Temu account on Temu.com or on the app to request a refund. If you do not have a Temu account, please click on "Save your Order" in your Temu order email to make a return.
II. Find the relevant order in "Your Orders" and click on the "Return/Refund" button.
III. Select the item(s) you would like to return and the reason for the return. Depending on the reason you selected, you may be required to provide further information related to the order. After you provide the required information, click the "Next Step" button to proceed.
IV. If there is no need to return your item, then your final step is simply to select your refund method. You may choose to receive your refund as a Temu credit balance or be credited back via your original payment method. Make your selection and click "Submit".
V. If you need to return your item(s), you will have the option to choose your return and refund methods. After you submit the request, we will provide you with a return label so that you can return the item(s). Return shipping is free on your first return of one or multiple returnable items for EVERY order within 90 days from the date of purchase.
VI. Please place all returned items into one package and use the return label we provided to send it. The original barcode for each item should also be included.
If you cannot find it:
Please use transparent bags to individually package items without barcodes before placing them in the return package.
After the warehouse receives the items and they pass quality inspection, the refund will be issued.
If you do not receive the refund afterwards, please contact us for further assistance.
Please make sure to keep the barcode of each item in your next purchase so that you can receive your refund smoothly.
VII. After placing all the return items in one package, please print and tape the return label we provided onto the outside of the package. Send your package back from the nearest EVRI/Royal Mail/Yodel location and you're done!
VIII. You can check the refund status of your item(s) on your order details page or through Temu's SMS/Email/Push notifications.
Please make sure your return package is postmarked within 14 days after you submit your return, otherwise the return process will be terminated. The return label we provide only works if you are shipping within the United Kingdom (security-restricted areas such as military bases excluded).
2. Is the return shipping free?
Return shipping is free on your first return of one or multiple returnable items for EVERY order within the return window.
If you need to return an oversized or overweight item or return items from a remote area you may have to send the items back by yourself. You need to pay the shipping cost in advance, and then contact us for reimbursement. After the items have been returned and have passed quality inspection, we will reimburse you.
When you apply for a return, you may be offered the opportunity to get a partial refund without returning the item(s). If you accept this offer, one free return will automatically be deducted from the number of free returns you have for this order.
If you have already returned items from an order and would like to return additional items from that same order, you can still do so as long as the return window has not closed.
We recommend that you try to send back your return items in one shipment to avoid paying additional fees. This will likely also minimise the environmental impact of multiple returns.
For the second and subsequent refunds from the same order, you can use the return label we provide. The shipping fee of £2.50 (tax included) will be deducted from your refund.
3. Where can I find the return label after applying?
You can find your return label in two different locations in "Your Orders"
Click on "All Orders"→"Print your return label and start return"→click on "Print return label"
You may also click "Returns"→"Print return label"→to download and print your return label.
4. Right of withdrawal
Statutory right
You have a statutory right to cancel your order without providing a reason within 14 days from the day on which you or a third party (other than the carrier) indicated by you receives the goods purchased (or the last good, lot or piece if the order relates to goods or multiple lots or pieces delivered separately), or from the day of the conclusion of the contract for online digital content.
You must inform us of your decision to cancel your order. You may submit your request by following the instructions set out in "1. How do I make a return?" or using the standard cancellation form. In case you cancel your order through your Temu account on Temu.com or on the app following the instructions set out in "1. How do I make a return?", we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such cancellation without undue delay (eg. by email or via in-app notification).
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your request to exercise the right of cancellation before the cancellation period has expired and return the goods to us within 14 days after you submit your return request.
For additional information on the scope, content and instructions for the exercise, please contact our Customer Service.
Voluntary return guarantee
In addition to your statutory right of withdrawal, we offer voluntary free return guarantee on your first return for EVERY order within return window from the date of purchase. Please note that you must return each item in the same condition in which you received it. This means that new items must be returned unused, undamaged and complete. Used items must not have any new signs of use or damage.
Exceptions
Please note that both the statutory right of withdrawal and our voluntary return guarantee do not apply to the followings products (unless defective):
the delivery of goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygienic reasons if unsealed by you after delivery, or which, due to their nature, are, after delivery, inseparately mixed with other items;
the delivery of sealed audio or video recordings or of sealed software if unsealed by you after delivery;
the supply of goods made to customer specifications or clearly customised to personal needs;
the supply of goods which may deteriorate or expire rapidly;
a service if Temu has fully performed it and you acknowledged and expressly accepted before you placed your order that we could start to deliver the service, and that you could not cancel it once the contract had been fully performed;
the supply of digital content (including apps, digital software, ebooks, MP3, etc.) which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you expressly accepted before your order has been executed and at the same time confirmed that we could start to deliver the content, and that you could not cancel it once delivery had started;
the delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
the supply of alcoholic beverages whose price has been agreed upon conclusion of the sales contract, which however can only be delivered after 30 days and whose actual value is dependent on fluctuations in the market which we cannot control.
5. How long do I have before making a return?
If an item is eligible for return and refund, you may return it within the return window.
All eligible items purchased between November 1 and December 31 are returnable until January 31, or as per the original return period, whichever is longer. The return window for Apple brand products is January 15 or as per the original return period, whichever is longer.

iPhone refund instructions:
The iPhone should be returned in new, unused, and unactivated condition with all original accessories and product packaging.
If the iPhone arrived damaged or malfunctioning, and it is confirmed not to be due to the user's actions, a full refund will be issued.
If the iPhone shows signs of use, is damaged, or is missing parts or accessories, not due to Temu's or the provider's error, the refund will be adjusted based on the quality inspection.

II. Please make sure that you do NOT accidentally include any items in your return package that you do not wish to return. If you have accidentally included a wrong item, please contact Customer Service. We cannot promise that wrong items will be found and returned and we do not store or provide refunds for such items.
