A mum who believed she’d snagged some chic blinds from Temu was left stunned when her delivery turned up. Bron Galic, from Australia, needed a blind for her kitchen window, and discovered the bargain find on the popular discount shopping platform for approximately $10 AUD (£5.30).
However, rather than receiving an actual blind, the mother-of-two unwrapped what appeared to be a novelty tablecloth with a bamboo blind design printed on it, the MEN reports. She told What’s The Jam: “When I opened the package, I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. It was [a] sheet with a bamboo blind print on it! I had a good laugh. I didn’t think it was a mistake – I thought it was typical for Temu.” Bron originally chose to use the item as a tablecloth, but quickly changed her mind and threw it away.
She decided not to contact Temu directly, opting instead to request a refund through the application, which was approved.
Bron added: “I noticed they [the blinds] are no longer available. They were described as a blind [online]. Sometimes their descriptions of products are so convoluted and they go on and on.”
Temu is renowned for its extensive product range and remarkably low prices, linking customers with third-party vendors predominantly located in China.
A Temu spokesperson said: “At Temu, we’re grateful for all our customers. We understand that on this occasion the product didn’t quite meet expectations, but we appreciate the good humour Bron brought to the situation.
“The product listing in question was removed in May for not meeting platform rules.
“Customers are covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee for items that are not as described and our customer service team is available 24/7 to help with any post-sale concerns.”
