Temu, the global direct-from-factory online marketplace, has strengthened its partnership with CTT Correios de Portugal (CTT) to achieve 100% delivery coverage across Portugal, including the Azores and Madeira archipelagos.
This expansion ensures that consumers across Portugal, from mainland cities to remote islands, can enjoy fast and reliable access to Temu’s vast selection of products, including over 1000 CTT’s parcel lockers with the brand Locky. By optimizing logistics with CTT, Temu continues to enhance accessibility and convenience for shoppers nationwide.
This expansion demonstrates the strength of our partnership with Temu and our ability to provide comprehensive logistics solutions across Portugal. Together, we are committed to enhancing customer satisfaction and transforming the delivery experience.

Temu entered the Portuguese market in May 2023 and offers more than 600 product categories of quality merchandise at affordable prices, significantly expanding the shopping choices for Portuguese consumers.
Since establishing our partnership with CTT last year, we have been continuously enhancing our service to Portuguese customers. By extending our delivery coverage to these island territories, we’re ensuring that all Portuguese customers, regardless of their location, can enjoy the same convenient access to our platform’s diverse product offerings.

Recently, Temu has begun inviting local sellers in markets like the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Mexico, Belgium, Poland and Austria to join its platform. With more local sellers, Temu will offer an even wider and more varied selection of products to cater to the preferences and needs of consumers while supporting local businesses. 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, offering a wide selection of merchandise at competitive prices. Recognized as a top Apple-recommended app of 2024, Temu is also one of the most visited e-commerce websites in the world. According to Sensor Tower’s State of Mobile 2025 report, Temu was the most downloaded shopping app worldwide in 2024. The platform’s popularity highlights a growing consumer preference for products that give great value, which Temu delivers by reducing unnecessary transportation and handling costs as well as profit markups by middlemen with its direct-from-factor model.
