Frequently asked questions

How does Temu price adjustment within 30 days work?

Your Orders → select order → Price adjustment when same item, seller, variant, country, and currency dropped within 30 days of payment. Excludes fees like shipping from adjustment math. Promotional or unavailable listings may be ineligible.

Temu price adjustment denied — item on flash sale now?

Flash or promotional pricing may exclude adjustment per policy. Regular price drop on identical SKU qualifies — screenshot non-promo comparison if disputing.

Price dropped before I received Temu order — still eligible?

Policy allows adjustment before receipt without affecting shipment. Apply from order page while in transit.

Temu price adjustment partial credit only?

Credit equals price difference excluding shipping fees. Verify math against paid subtotal for that line item.

Seller changed on same-looking item — adjustment denied?

Must be same seller per policy. Different seller listing disqualifies even if product looks identical.

Temu Credit payment — price adjustment to credit?

Adjustment typically credits same payment ecosystem — confirm in app after approval.

Bundle order price adjustment one SKU dropped?

Adjust per eligible line item individually if each shows lower price on same seller listing.

Price adjustment after I already returned item?

Return closes order — adjustment usually moot. Request before return if price drops during return transit.

Appeal Temu price adjustment denial?

Chat with side-by-side screenshots: your paid listing, current lower listing, identical variant IDs. Policy gives Temu sole discretion — persistence helps clear cases.

Price adjustment vs return and rebuy?

Adjustment faster when keeping item. Return only if larger savings minus shipping deduction worth hassle.

30-day window counted from payment or delivery?

From payment date per Temu policy text. Pay early in checkout timeline for maximum window.

Price adjustment denied at day 31 — any exception?

Rare. Chat only with proof system showed wrong payment timestamp. Otherwise rebuy or skip.
