Ways to Speed Up Your Temu Delivery

  1. If you want to get your items within 4 to 11 days, select express shipping. Just know this costs $12.90 if your order is under $129.
    • Or, wait to order items until you have a combined order over $129 to get free shipping.
  2. While orders primarily come from China, Temu ships from all around the world. Choosing to order from sellers who are in your same country or a country closer to you can help you get your order faster.[4]
    • Look for “Local warehouse” tags on the product and the product page. This means the item ships from your country or region.
  3. Shipping carriers are often overwhelmed during holidays which can lead to shipping delays. Try to place your orders during the off-season or less busy shipping periods to get your order quicker.
  4. Make sure the items you add to your cart aren’t out of stock or on backorder. This can increase the order processing time and cause Temu to take longer to ship.
  5. Entering an incorrect or incomplete address can slow down delivery. To check your address, sign in to your Temu account, go to “Your Orders,” and select “View order details.”[5]
    • If you need to change your address, click “Edit.”
    • If your order has already been packed and shipped, Temu can’t update your address. Instead, call the carrier delivering your package to notify them of the update.

  1. Log in to your Temu account and click “Your Orders.” Go to Temu’s login page and sign into your account. Then, look for “Your Orders” on the left side of the screen.[6]
    • Alternatively, download the Temu app and sign in to your account.
    • If you don’t have a Temu account, find your order confirmation email and click “Track your order.”
  2. Next to the order you want to track, look for the orange “Track” button. When you click it, Temu shows you the order’s shipping status, estimated arrival, and which carrier is delivering it.
    • Temu also gives you the tracking number. If you prefer, enter the tracking number into the shipping carrier’s website to track your order.
    • If you don’t see any tracking information, your order is likely still processing.
    • You might not see tracking updates until your order arrives in the United States.[7]

  1. Contact Temu customer service within 90 days of making your order. If it’s past the delivery date or your package shows up as “Delivered” and you haven’t received it, contact Temu. A customer service agent will help you figure out if your order is simply delayed or got lost.[8]
    • Log in to your Temu account to email, chat, or speak with a customer service agent.
    • If your order doesn’t arrive by the estimated delivery date, Temu compensates you $5 if you used standard shipping and $13 if you used express shipping.[9]
    • Some delays are out of Temu’s control and do not qualify for compensation, such as bad weather, natural disasters, and shipping restrictions.[10]
  2. Log in to your Temu account or open the app and go to “Your Orders.” Then, find the order you want to refund and click “Return/Refund.” Confirm that you didn’t receive your package and select “Request a Refund.”[11]
    • You can choose to receive a refund through your original payment method or get Temu credits.
    • It typically takes 5 to 14 days to receive your refund.
    • If you don’t have a Temu account, find your order confirmation email and click “Save your Order." Then, follow the steps to request a refund.
