Austrian Post expands partnership with Temu, launching a new collection and delivery service.
In the ever-evolving world of e-commerce, Temu, a popular global online marketplace, is making waves in Europe. The platform, founded in September 2022, has expanded to over 90 markets worldwide, including Austria, and is now inviting local sellers from various European countries to join its platform [1].
Temu's aim is to provide affordable and high-quality products that improve the lives of its customers. To achieve this, the company is broadening its product range to include European food products and local retailers, aiming for a "from Europe for Europe" offering [3].
In addition to its online services, Temu is collaborating with Austrian Post to introduce a Pick-Up Drop-Off (PUDO) service this year. This partnership, which began in 2023, is part of Temu's strategy to enhance shopping experiences for consumers [2]. However, as of mid-2025, no publicly documented expansion related to Austrian Post or specific PUDO services can be confirmed from the current data [4].
Austrian Post, an international provider of postal, logistics, and services, is committed to minimizing its environmental impact. By 2030, all deliveries in Austria will be made with foot, bicycle, or electric vehicles [5]. The company operates in 14 countries internationally and its branch network comprises around 1,700 business locations and nearly 1,300 24/7 sites [6].
Temu, on the other hand, operates without owning warehouses, connecting manufacturers directly with buyers globally. The company uses various enforcement measures for intellectual property protection [1][2]. This operational model leaves room for partnerships with local logistics providers, but none are specifically referenced here.
