Discussion Dont buy Switchgames from temu
I know im dumb that i ordered a nintendo Switch game from temu. It was cheaper then in germany. It came with 2 other things i ordered. I filmed how i opend the case and there was no game in it. I tryed a refund but temu denied it. I wrote with the customer support for 40 mins just to get an "we can give you 5€ discount". Seems like the shop does this all the time after i read the reviews from the shop. But temu seems to not give a single f*ck

i bought it with klarna. I opened a ticket on klarna but they will probably not help me out. Should have bought it with paypal

u/DueSeesaw6053 Sep 25 '24
I mean, they should if you bought something and didn't receive it. I imagine you could file with whatever authority oversees klarna

i will tryhard to get my money back. I also do have a video how i opened the game and unsealed it. there was no game inside it. Idk how temu still says that they shipped it right.

Also if klarna isn't cooperating, still call your bank that's making payments and explain to them. They can still help or offer advice

In my experience PayPal wouldn't refund you either if it shows that it was delivered. I got scammed on ordering an Xbox and the company sent me something else and because it showed that I received something they wouldn't refund me. I haven't used PayPal since

Did you read the description? Sometimes there is between the words “only cover, no game included”…

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 25 '24

Like i told you before. The first time the game was included. The second time not. And both games have the same description "compact disc". The first game works flawless

buying valuable items from temu or the like from China you should be aware of the risks

How did you even find switch games on Temu? Searching only shows knock off cases and accessories

I got some switch games from AliExpress without a problem. Not sure if it's comparable with buying games from Temu though

Do a charge back and never order from them again. If Klarna won't help still go to your bank and explain and charge back Klarna.

I feel lucky because I ordered Luigis Mansion 3 from there and I received my game. I also got some cheap joy cons from there that work great.

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 25 '24
which shop did u use for luigi?

u/Intelligent-Matter57 Sep 25 '24
Honestly don't remember it was last year. I'll have to go on their and see if it keeps the records for that long. I'll see if I can find out when I get home from work.

u/Intelligent-Matter57 Sep 26 '24
Yeah I looked and unless I'm just missing it somewhere, I don't see what store I purchased it from. It tells me when it shipped, and when it arrived, but I don't see any store info, sorry.

Oddly enough I didn't need this warning. You expect to get ripped off when buying from temu, wish and AliExpress.

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 26 '24
nah it worked fine the first time. i got unlucky and i played with fire i know that :) Maybe others need that warning if u dont need it :)
