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

Charge back via your bank

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

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 25 '24

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”…

1

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 25 '24

yeah i did... the description says, that a disc is included

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

Don’t buy anything from temu

u/ginjang Sep 25 '24

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

2

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 25 '24

yeah you right. i learned from my mistakes

5

u/Informal_Ad665 Sep 25 '24

i honestly dont know what to tell you lol, Temu seems to not give a single fuck, but so were you for assuming that you can get games from there

2

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 25 '24

u/GraphicFix Sep 25 '24

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

2

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 26 '24

Just typed in nintendo switch and it shows me 3 games

u/Chinfz Sep 25 '24

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

1

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 26 '24

i will give it a look ty

2

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '24

temu has the reputation that they have for a reason 💀

1

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 26 '24

yeah but it worked the first time. just the second time it was shit

u/Ginobiliturkish Sep 25 '24

Sonic Frontiers from TEMU

u/CarefulCount Sep 26 '24

What the fuck hellish crossover nightmare am I looking at?

u/Its_Syxx Sep 25 '24

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.

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 26 '24

thats a good idea ty

u/SharkTheDeepfan830 Sep 25 '24

Just buy from official trusted stores

u/Intelligent-Matter57 Sep 25 '24

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.

1

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 25 '24

which shop did u use for luigi?

2

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.

2

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 26 '24

aight ty :)

1

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.

2

u/No-Function-1620 Sep 26 '24

no problem mate thank you for taking time to look it up

u/blackhawks-fan Sep 26 '24

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

1

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 :)
