Temu has signed a memorandum of understanding with Austrian Post to strengthen collaboration in regional logistics and international e-commerce solutions. The partnership aims to improve delivery performance, enhance service quality and expand support for consumers and sellers in the fast-growing e-commerce sector.
Under the agreement, Austrian Post and its subsidiaries, such as Express One and Aras Kargo, will provide Temu with comprehensive logistics and e-commerce services beyond Austria, including delivery and returns, fulfillment and parcel delivery in Southern and Eastern Europe.
The partnership will also facilitate the export of regional products to global markets, making deliveries more reliable and affordable for consumers and sellers across the region.
For local sellers, the collaboration with Temu is expected to further simplify order processing, shorten delivery times and reduce transportation costs. By leveraging the Austrian Post Group’s network and Temu’s expanding Local Seller Program, the two companies aim to create a more efficient supply chain connecting European businesses with consumers both domestically and internationally.
The two companies began their collaboration in 2023 and recently integrated postal delivery options from post offices, postal partners and 24/7 postal stations into Temu, enabling customers to select these options directly during the ordering process. Returns are also handled through postal locations, making ordering more convenient for consumers.
Temu has also reached a similar agreement with Italiane Post – as the marketplace looks to strengthen logistics collaboration and service quality for consumers and sellers across Europe.
Since last year, Temu has been inviting local sellers in Austria, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the UK to join the platform, enabling fulfillment through local warehouses. The company anticipates that up to 80% of European sales will ultimately be fulfilled within the region, enabling customers to benefit from a wider selection and faster delivery, while simultaneously supporting local businesses in expanding their reach.
