To be honest, I didn’t need to buy these items but after all the buzz around Temu (some glowing, some not-so-great), curiosity got the best of me. I decided to see for myself what the hype was about and grabbed a few affordable items.
What I Ordered
I was shopping on a budget and didn’t want to end up disappointed, especially after reading mixed reviews online. So, I played it safe and stuck with items that were low-cost but looked promising:
-
Gold purse
-
Silver purse
-
Gold shoes
-
Shoe protector
The Standouts
Surprisingly, everything turned out to be a hit! The items were true to the pictures and fit exactly as expected. My absolute favorite has to be the gold shoes and the gold purse (even though the shades of gold aren’t an exact match I still love them together).
With my yellow undertone, I naturally gravitate toward gold shades, and these pieces definitely gave me that warm glow I was hoping for.
The Misses
Honestly? No misses this time. I was nervous about sizing for the shoes; I usually wear a size 38 but ordered a 39 just to be safe. It ended up being the perfect fit. Crisis averted! The fact that i had no miss left me wondering why the bad PR for Temu???
Shipping & Packaging
This was the icing on the cake. Shipping was free for my first order. (Note: I tried placing another order later and was told I’d need to spend ₦30,000+ to qualify for free shipping, so I guess that first-time perk is real.)
The items were well sealed and arrived in great condition. I placed the order on June 24th, 2025, and received it by July 5th, 2025 just 10 days later.
One tip: Make sure you enter the correct local government area (LGA) for delivery. I accidentally picked a LGA that wasn’t the closest to me. Thankfully, I requested home delivery and just gave the rider a little tip since the drop-off happened after the close of business (COB). It all worked out!
💭 Final Thoughts
Would I order from Temu again? Yes!
The total cost for everything was just a little over ₦55,000+, and I honestly feel it was worth it. For a budget haul, everything felt like a win.
