A WOMAN has revealed she ordered a pair of veneers from Temu for her wedding but it was a total failure.
Petrina Josephine explained that before her big day, she ordered the false teeth from Temu – the most downloaded app in the UK this year, pronounced tee-moo – in the hope that they would brighten and straighten her smile.

After all, you want to look and feel your best when you tie the knot, right?
Well, unfortunately for Petrina, the cheap teeth didn’t look as stylish as she’d hoped, and they certainly weren’t appropriate for her vows.
Sharing the online order on social media, at the start of the clip, the brunette beauty was seen with her mouth closed as she asked: ‘How bad can these veneers from Temu be?’
Seconds later, the bride-to-be shared a selfie, smiling as she showed off her top set of veneers.

In it, he wrote: “It’s okay.”
Petrina later wrote: “Gives a horse girl.”
Although Petrina didn’t reveal how much she paid for her veneers, you can find a pair for as cheap as 89p on Temu’s website.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @petrinazozefinhas clearly made many laugh as it has quickly racked up 18,300 views.
Social media users went into hysterics over the blunder and were eager to share their thoughts in the comments.
One person said, “No!”
To this, Petrina joked: “The wedding is ready.”
Another added: “This made me BLOW UP. Thanks.”
A third commented: “HAHAHAHAHAHA.”
Meanwhile, someone else posted: “There’s supposed to be a wax mold with them but they still don’t come out right.”
To this, Petrina replied, “I ended up realizing it and I was optimistic for a minute, but like you said it was also a disaster.”
But Petrina is not the only customer who has had a setback at Temu.
After a wonderful investigation into the toxic truth about the UK’s most downloaded shopping app, it seems that beneath Temu’s cheap prices and mind-boggling range of products lies a growing sense of unease.
The site has suffered negative reviews, claims of undelivered packages, poor customer service and, most worryingly of all, an “extremely high risk” of forced labour.
Now, some critics wonder if Temu – which stands for Team Up, Price Down – could, in fact, be toxic.
Founded in September 2022 by Chinese e-commerce giant PDD Holdings, Temu bills itself as an online marketplace that connects consumers with millions of sellers and brands, with “a mission to empower them to live their best lives.”
Despite clever marketing and low prices, the site suffers from some damning reviews.
On TrustPilot, the app scores a reasonable 3.5 stars out of five — but 31 percent of users only give it one.
The environmental impact of Temu’s suppliers is another cause for concern, while there are serious concerns about workers’ rights.
In June, US lawmakers warned that “extremely high-risk” products sold on the site were made with forced labor.
The products are feared to be made by Uyghur Muslims, who have been held by Chinese authorities since 2017 in “re-education” camps in Xinjiang.
