E-commerce giant Temu has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Romania’s national postal service operator, Poșta Română, to streamline logistics for Romanian businesses selling on the platform.
As part of the deal, Poșta Română will provide an integrated parcel service covering collection from sellers, sorting at logistics facilities in Romania and last-mile delivery to homes, pickup points, automated lockers and post offices across the country.
According to the companies, the partnership is expected to give local businesses a more streamlined process for order fulfillment, while enhancing the shopping experience for customers.
“Our network reaches communities across Romania, including in rural areas,” said Valentin Ștefan, CEO of Poșta Română. “This agreement will make our delivery and return services available to Romanian sellers on Temu, helping them serve customers throughout the country. We also welcome the opportunity to support local businesses that want to reach customers elsewhere in Europe.”
“Four in five small businesses in Europe do not sell online, and the business organizations and industry associations we met pointed to the same barriers: complexity, cost and not knowing where to start,” commented a Temu spokesperson. “Through the collaboration with Poșta Română, we aim to support more Romanian sellers with reliable logistics services and new growth opportunities at home and beyond.”
