A FASHION fan thought she was getting her hands on a bargain when she ordered a gorgeous bag from Temu – but was left in tears when her online order arrived.
Sally, a savvy shopper from the US, bought herself a black crossbody handbag, which as advertised, comes with a stylish pompom pendant.
The handbag was described as “Fashion Solid Color Handbag, Multi Layer Crossbody Bag, Women’s Satchel Purse With Pompom Ball Charms” online.
It was on sale for £10.29 but originally priced at £42.49.
The bag had 2,766 reviews, with an average 4.7 out of five star rating.
One shopper said: “Beautiful little white handbag! I’m very pleasantly surprised by the good quality! Comes with a long strap. I love it!”
Someone else wrote: “Love this bag it’s beautiful and trendy , very happy with bag I might have to get more of these bags in different colours thank you.”
One review read: “Lovely roomy hand bag.”
No wonder Sally couldn’t contain her excitement with her new fashion find, but things quickly came crashing down when she opened up her package.
Keen to show off her hilarious fail, the content creator, who was left gobsmacked with her package, took to social media to give her followers a close-up look at her hilarious fail, leaving many totally stunned.
In a short clip shared online, Sally posted a screenshot of the online listing – a gorgeous and versatile black bag, and alongside the snap, she penned: “Temu did me dirt.”
Moments later, alongside the viral ‘Oh No’ TikTok sound, Sally uploaded a picture of what actually arrived, as she wrote: “What I got.”

Instead of a large handbag perfect for running errands, Sally was left speechless with what instead resembled a tiny coin purse.
Clearly gutted at her blunder, she admitted: “I’m crying.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @sallytp_01, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and has now racked up a jaw-dropping 2.2 million views.
But social media users were left totally divided – whilst many claimed that they have also had a similar experience when ordering from Temu, others found it hilarious.
Despite this, at the same time, other Temu shoppers claimed it was Sally, and not the bargain retailer, at fault – with countless people advising her to accurately read descriptions before making purchases.
One person said: “Temu also did that to me.”
Another added: “Can’t help but laugh, daylight robbery.”
[quote credit=”TikTok user “]Nope! It’s all your fault as you need to pay attention to the description and dimensions[/quote]Meanwhile, one user claimed: “Temu did nothing wrong, it’s very important to read the description. Try again.”
Someone else agreed: “These are keyholders guys, normalise reading descriptions.”
Whilst another Temu shopper chimed in: “Nope! It’s all your fault as you need to pay attention to the description and dimensions mate.”
Someone in the review’s section mentioned the bag being a different size than advertised: “Not really impressed about this product. It is smaller.”
