A Nigerian soldier ordered a power bank from Temu.

What arrived was just the empty plastic case.

No battery. No cells. Just the shell.

The soldier expressed shock with laughter in front of his colleagues who were patiently waiting for him to unbox his package. They all burst into laughter as they passed the empty casing round to each other.

He sat there in full camouflage, holding the transparent box like “so this is what I paid for?”

Temu really said: here’s the body, the soul is sold separately.

The man didn’t even get a charger. Just pure plastic disappointment in the middle of nowhere.

The viral video has attracted several reactions online, with people sharing their own funny “I ordered vs what I got from Temu” experiences.

While some argue that people end up in this situation because they fail to read the instructions properly, others insist that no matter how carefully you read, Temu intentionally keeps certain details silent, leading to these exact moments. They call it deliberate.

Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments. Have you ever been a victim?

Boys for computer village Ikeja dey learn work where Temu dey.

Temu business strategy is to scam people with ridiculous low prices. Anyone who defends their business model is also a criminal

Carry your lies commot here.
TEMU has come to stay.

Lies and propaganda from your blodas cannot stop TEMU

China 🇨🇳 no go kee person ,

Fraud

If you are ordering something be sure you look very carefully because sometimes they show applications or example usage of the product. It might mislead you to think you are ordering the product used for the example.

In a sane country he will report the incident to the head of his unit, the unit then moves to temu legally to sort things out...

I thought Temu was to give AliExpress serious run as Competitor... Temu don too fall hand. I wonder why people still buy from them, are their goods cheaper than AliExpress? https://www.nairaland.com/8756653/how-love-changed-direction-life

Doesn't justify what Temu did to him and has done to others. Temu is a rogue e-commerce site.

I order for items on TEMU at least monthly

Dumb content.

I have ordered countless of items from temu and all appeared exactly as seen,except for the case of sizes, some appeared small compared to the photo uploaded and that usually happens in clothes or footwears section.


Read description and reviews before purchase.

He didn't read what was written under it carefully before the order.

This is not true. Some people don't read properly before ordering.

Hmmmm.... this looks like make believe

He see am very cheap without reading the item description very well. Awoof dey kill person. Sorry soldier.

If you want to order from Temu, you must read and read again. Also check the price very well. Temu wants to sell only the steering of a car but will advert the whole car.

They think everything should be cloak and dagger.

LOL Nigeria is brain dead ahahaa

So the military is ordering things online!? LOL Hey god.
And if Boko Haram wants to finish all of them, why not send one heavy bomb in a package? Why not follow the delivery man? Stupid

Ajeh.. Them don run am local

This is not necessarily correct. Sometimes, the only excuse Temu has for scamming you is low price. Then some dark-minded fellows will come here to defend them.

Temu is not the one responsible for your lack of comprehension and illiteracy. If you can't read the product details, you have no business ordering online.

He did not read the item descriptions

Some people feels that to order from online is just seeing the product and pay for it.
There are more to it.
