No, it’s a scam that involves online reviews. People buy cheap products to send to a random address and scammers use that product to write a 5 star review. Someone inside Temu re-registers the that fake review to a high price ticket item as a legitimate product review. It’s happening on all line sites.
@@DimSimSamCorrect, it's called "brushing," and it's a common way for scammers to artificially boost sales rankings and file large numbers of bogus reviews.
Stuck with it? Why? Donate it to charity. If you didn't order it and it's delivered to your address and you don't want it then give it away. It's not that difficult.
Yeah, I'll be happy deliver them weekly to charities, schools.. whoever accept and make good use of it. You're making others happy without even having to spend your own money, what's not to love about that? People like this guy seems a little selfish.

He should youtube other stories like this because a woman also got hundreds of packages and there is a name for it because it somehow helps a companies algorythym or some such nonsense to dump it on an unsuspecting home owner.
It's cheaper for the Chinese company to list a US address for returns from customers on cheap products that would cost more to ship back to the manufacturer in China so the seller has a US address picked at random listed as the return address for products and the customers that are returning products use that address to return unwanted items back using the return address TEMU provided to them for the returns. Happens on many of the large shipping companies like Amazon - TEMU - etc. What happens is a US customers orders a product from China it is shipped and the customer for one reason or another refuses the product and it is sent to the address provided by the company as the return address ( which is this guys new address ) So the product is then sent there because it is cheaper to write the product off as a loss instead of shipping it back to the supplier in CHINA and the products are not worth shipping back and TEMU or Amazon would be charging them storage and restocking fees if the product was returned to them so it is cheaper for the Chinese company to just ship the return to a random US address than it is for the return to be shipped back to TEMU or the chinese companies actual warehouse.
Yeah, happened to someone else I saw a news video and their reporter found out all the info you just listed. Though, it was a 3rd party seller on Amazon doing it to the family's address so Amazon was able to ban that seller so the packages would stop going there.
Happened to me. I contacted trucking company, they wouldn’t come get it. Called Temu to pick it up. They told me to keep it, donate it, or throw it away. I threw it away. Recipient came to my house over a week later. Told her I threw it away. She told me if it happens again to bring it to her house. She lives in another town. Do I look like FedEx? She called the police too. Officer took my info & left, nothing they can do. I tried to return it to her & she calls the police. No good deed goes unpunished I guess.

@@lenoreraven9758 You called *Temu in China?* It's never happened to me but when it does I'll make sure I take it where it belongs and no I'm not FedEx either but it seems like the right thing to do.

I kind of don't understand come complaining about this. If you're not being charged for the merchandise, give it away. I'm sure there's plenty of people who would love to have it.
I would either throw it out or make a trip to the Goodwill store once it a while. He's not under any obligation to keep it. He can keep what he wants and toss or sell the rest.
Sounds like some sort of scam or money making scheme the previous owner was involved with….and maybe they moved out of the country because they were abandoning their scheme and leaving the new owner holding the bag…..all the evidence is now in his possession if authorities come knocking. It’s good he went to the news with this story because it will show he’s not the one involved and he’s tried to take action to stop the stuff from coming.
@@JimmyJones-fe3fw I can tell you don't know any markets. There is at least 1-2k worth of products he can sell in there. 22 Packages a day? If each product sold for 2ea at the lowest that's still $44 a day. Example, that crawfish net can easily be sold for 3-4, it's like 15 online. Those hats? 2-3 each as well. The belt for 10 and so on. I get why some of you are not wealthy. This guy can put ALL that stuff on eBay for literally no price, and ship them using the same package it came in with a new label - also printed from ebay. Literally free money.
I had that same thing happen to me last year in August 2023. Some unknown sender sent me 2 big packages of furniture I never ordered. I sent it back to where it came from through Fedex, but never saw a person's name on the packages. I just saw it came all the way from Texas. I hope this individual can at least earn enough money selling all those items.
I can see his point about trying to find who these items belong too. If I was getting items randomly shipped I'll be heck of suspicious. Hopefully he'll figure all this out. He should just donate the items if he is allowed to keep them.
They could stop opening the packages, refuse them and allow them to be returned. The delivery companies will send them back and the sellers will stop sending more once they see that the address isn’t valid. It’s not this families responsibility as they’ve done their best to find who may have ordered the items.
Happened to us. And it starts back up from time to time. Different cc. 300 items. We divided it w first victim that had her cc stolen and used. Divided it w neighbor next. And have another lot that was delivered to vacant home that was our old address. Amazon doesnt want stuff back bc its paid for😮
I’d open up a store call, “Junk I Did Not Order.”
"Come down and buy all the stuff you don't need at the low low price of tree fiddy"
🤣 will you give me some of the items for free? 🤣 i bet i can find something useful.. 🤣

I would say nothing but sell everything every weekend
right? didnt order so sent to me at my address, mine even junk which most of it is, sell it or give it away.

Shameful that the Super Bowl took money from them for a sponsorship. Awful company selling pure garbage
Never, never order from Temu!!!!
seems to be similar to the amazon refund scams if something like this happens to best believe I'm reselling every item I get online.
This sounds like a Temu advertisement campaign
Nope , just Temu seller trying push their product to the top result by making fake order
I got an ad for the company before this video 😂 But yeah it must be a seller scamming
Temu has nothing to do with it except deliver orders that were paid for to the address that was given
Exactly!!! Not the responsibility of the receiver to figure out we're it come from,,,it'll drive you insane...🧐
Opening other people's mail is a literal felony, bro. You should be turning the deliveries away or immediately returning the packages to sender.
Keep collecting every item and take ALL products to a pawn shop. Whether you get 5 cents or $10, it’s STRAIGHT PROFIT
