Your primary mechanism for refunds on Temu is their 'Purchase Protection Program'. This program covers items that are not as described, damaged, or don't arrive. You typically have 90 days from the purchase date to initiate a return or refund request. While general consumer protection laws (like the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in the UK for faulty goods) also apply, Temu's own policy is often more generous for general returns.
