Launched last September 2022, online shopping newcomer Temu had a low-key debut in the e-commerce industry before racing up the app store rankings as the number one leading online shopping platform by user downloads.
The seemingly overnight success of Temu as a platform has undoubtedly turned some heads and raised a few questions, especially with the millions of customers that Temu has seen, so here’s everything you need to know about Temu.

But what is the app’s claim to fame? Temu caught the attention of avid online shoppers everywhere for its impressive catalog of high-quality goods being sold at wholesale prices with no strings attached.
Temu was named after the company’s motto of “Team Up, Price Down”, which basically captures their mission to provide high quality goods and products without charging customers expensive prices. Temu has its headquarters in Boston, MA and was established by Delaware-based Whaleco Inc. The platform is part of the world-renowned multinational commerce group, PDD Holdings.
Because of its connection to PDD Holdings, Temu is able to work with more than 11 million merchants around the world and within the PDD e-commerce ecosystem, while also leveraging on the procurement, logistics, and global shipping capabilities of its parent company to bring its customers only the best quality products that are sold at irresistible prices.
What Makes Temu So Popular?
It became popular for three major reasons: quality, choice, and flexibility. Temu is online shopping, redefined. The platform offers top-notch retail goods at wholesale prices, blurring the lines between wholesale and retail in a way that other similar online shopping platforms have failed to achieve. Most reviews about the online marketplace praise the quality of products listed in the app as Temu ensures that each item is high quality and authentic.
It only works with global producers that uphold the same strict standards as the app. It makes sure that the products listed on its platform are both affordable and made to be durable with high-quality materials.
Along with that, it also takes active measures to ensure that there are no suspicious or fraudulent activities happening on their official channels, with the company explicitly warning that any attempt to do so will be heavily penalized and may even lead to a permanent ban from Temu’s official channels.
One user is quoted saying, “After years of getting duped by [other retailers], I thought online shopping just isn’t for me. That’s not the case with Temu! No matter what item I get from the app, everything arrives true to its product description, and you can tell they’re really good quality too! Delivery was also faster than usual, and they have great after-sales customer service!”
Quality and price aren’t the only winning features of Temu. The app provides consumers with choice and flexibility, enabling them to buy whatever they want, whenever they want, and in what quantity they want! Customers are welcomed to browse and choose products from over 29 categories and 250 subcategories, with thousands of products and items being added everyday.
Whatever users need, it can deliver with the platform’s sophisticated delivery services that streamline order fulfillment. Orders are fulfilled within 7-15 days for standard delivery, or half the wait time with express shipping. It offers free delivery for all new users on its app, as well as a 30% off discount voucher to get users started on redefining their online shopping experience.
