My wife purchased some clothing from Temu last year. Wrong size and not what she ordered.
Got a refund and they did not want the goods returned, so gave them to St. John.
Late last year she also received two parcels of clothing that she didn’t order for which her bank card was debited $300. … View moreMy wife purchased some clothing from Temu last year. Wrong size and not what she ordered.
Got a refund and they did not want the goods returned, so gave them to St. John.
Late last year she also received two parcels of clothing that she didn’t order for which her bank card was debited $300. Temu wanted the goods back to facilitate a refund. This was no easy task requiring considerable interaction, initially with generic replies probably written using artificial intelligence.
We will not trade with Temu again. Buyer beware. Have a look at the number of negative comments.

Toxic algae grows on the bottom of riverbeds and appears as thick dark brown or black mats that have a slimy or velvety texture and musty smell.
These mats can come loose and wash up on the edge of the rivers, or form ‘floating rafts’ in shallow areas. As they dry out, they turn light brown or white and look like dried leaves or cowpats.
If you are in any doubt, keep your whānau and animals away from the river.

Freed from food and exercise

I've had an eating problem as long as I can remember. I would steal food, and money to get food. I was ashamed and had no idea why I did it. As a teenager, I didn't want to be overweight, so I tried to eat healthily at first and then tried to eat as little as possible. I also exercised to control my weight. All these things stopped working by the time I was twenty-one years old.
The constant thinking about food and losing weight made me ring for help from a Twelve Step recovery group. I found people that I knew had a solution for me. I tackled the programme – meetings, a food plan, the Steps, a sponsor and service – through hard work and trying to do it perfectly.
