Your temu orders

fastway order has no message in temy, nor email, sms. Now can't pay.
All I can say is, Temu already is the game. So if you're playing a game inside Temu, you're in full Temuception. Anything could happen.
The game is messed up.

I want to buy this item

Current price is R252 (usually R700). So I would pay 252 + 15% customs of R38 =R290
But I see I am being offered it on the 90% spin it costs R70. So R70 + 15% customs off of R700( R105) = R175.

That is rather messed ups saving more money but paying way more customs. Customs costs more than what I ordered. Item costs me R70 but I pay R105 customs. I am paying 150% customs by temu declaring the order value incorrectly.

I think I am going to do a test order to verify but my previous orders show this is happening. I have requested the breakdown from fastway for a previous order but I doubt they will get back to me so I can with 100% accuracy say this is what happens.

Anyone else use silicone containers in an air fryer?
Don’t you have to invite all the inhabitants of small village to use the Temu app before you get free stuff?

I've only ever paid duties on the Temu invoice amount but Buffalo does vary widely when it works out the duties and you are one of the people that got the short end of the stick.
 
Yoh. Wife ordered lot of trinkets totalling 990 rands and customs came to about 380 rands. HTF ?

Did she use vouchers, free items or lottery wheel spin?

Why is it that the delivery companies are hiding how things get calculated? Maybe they add a customs handling fee to every order. I wonder.
 
Those that are buying prints, how are you framing them? Framing is kaak expensive it seems?
I used a picture frame from @home (like pic below ), lucky enough I had read that they prints don't come framed so i was prepared in terms of getting something that would give me issues with print edges/bleed. I steppled the prints in the corners of the back frame cover and removed the glass in front......Not perfect but its presentable for now

For those using Fishland :
Maybe if you get users to download the app you could possibly complete it. I was only trying it out to see how far it would take you collecting food and feeding fish just interacting with the app. Early on in the app it was like 5-7 feedings to feed a fish. Right now at 99.3% and the fish are consuming 0.01 on each feeding. Therefore it would take 7000 of food to complete.

At the current earning rate that would be 70-100 plus days in the app to accumulate enough food, without getting food by having the signups or purchasing items above a threshold. I could try and get users to complete, but I wanted to push it after reading the fineprint.
 
Something is fishy. Ask for a customs breakdown. So far no one has been able to get that from their Buffalo/fastway.
this is what Buffalo used to send in 2019 when I ordered from Banggood

That might explain it but with temu orders they are hiding it. My orders are all around R100 and I noticed it varies between R50 and R100 I have to pay customs which makes no sense as I don't have clothing in my orders. I am sure with temu Buffalo/fastway must hide the extra charges and don't show it on their invoices intentionally. This is because temu states free delivery when in fact it seems there is handling fees by buffalo and fastway, that is false advertising Buffalo/fastway just lie and call it customs fees and don't show it on invoices. But all articles we get is takealot bitching. It should be consumers complaining instead.
