Temu inks delivery services deal with parcel lockers specialist Unisend covering Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia

Temu has formed a partnership with Unisend, a parcel locker network, covering delivery services for customers across Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.

"We are excited to collaborate with Temu to bring world class logistics solutions to consumers in the Baltic States. The partnership ensures fast, seamless, and reliable delivery services, enhancing customer convenience and satisfaction," says Laurynas Kazlauskas, management board member at Unisend.

Since its launch in the Baltic region, Temu has offered products across over 600 categories, including household items, electronics, and gardening tools. By connecting customers directly with manufacturers, it says that its model reduces middlemen costs and inefficiencies typically seen in traditional retail supply chains, without compromising quality.

“Our mission is to make quality products affordable to more consumers globally. By partnering with Unisend, we aim to provide a superior customer experience through reliable and efficient delivery services,” a Temu spokesperson says.

Temu has recently begun inviting local sellers in markets like the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Mexico, Belgium, Poland and Austria to join its platform. In doing so, it aims to offer a wider selection of products. The company expects as much as 80% of total sales in Europe to come from this local-to-local model, and for European-based sellers to be able to sell to global markets through Temu in the future.

Temu has expanded to 90 markets globally since its debut in September 2022.

Online delivery will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards. which will open for entries in March, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
