Overall, Temu is a legitimate business that’s okay to shop from if you take the proper precautions. Still, it’s important to be informed about the potential concerns and controversies associated with the platform. We’ll take a closer look at what type of business Temu is, how they operate, and why they’ve come under fire recently—and how you can stay safe when you’re shopping on Temu’s app or website.
Is Temu safe to use?
Temu is rated a C+ by the Better Business Bureau and has a rating of only 1.5/5 stars. However, Temu is fairly safe to use with the same common sense you’d use on any online shopping platform. Protect yourself by using an app like PayPal or a credit card to check out and avoiding expensive purchases on the site.
