E-commerce retailer Temu has announced that it will introduce a convenient pick-up and drop-off (PUDO) service with Austrian Post this year and will expand the service into new markets including Slovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria.
Commenting on the partnership, which began in 2023, an Austrian Post spokesperson said, “We’re pleased to bring our PUDO service to more Temu customers. Beyond providing reliable and flexible delivery services in Austria, we look forward to expanding our collaboration into other regions.”
Local-to-local model
Temu recently began inviting local sellers in Austria, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the UK onto its platform and enabling local warehouse fulfillment. The company expects up to 80% of sales will come from this local-to-local model, bringing customers a wider selection, faster deliveries and supporting local businesses. European sellers will also gain opportunities to reach global markets.
“Reliable and flexible logistics are key to the consumer experience,” said a Temu spokesperson. “By partnering with Austrian Post, we are enhancing our fulfillment capabilities in Eurasia and providing more delivery options for our customers.”
