Aussie Sellers Can Now List on Chinese Shopping Giant Temu

Good news for Aussie businesses! They can now sell their products on Temu, the super popular Chinese-owned online retailer. Temu, which only launched in Australia last year, is giving local sellers the chance to tap into its massive platform and connect with millions of shoppers.

According to a Temu spokesperson, this move is great for Aussie consumers, too. It means they’ll get a broader selection of products from local sellers and enjoy faster delivery times. "Local businesses can now use Temu as a low-cost way to reach new customers and expand their businesses," they added.

Right now, Temu offers free standard shipping on most items, but it can take anywhere from 6 to 20 days. For some items, though, delivery can be as fast as one business day if they’re shipped from local warehouses. For express shipping, prices range from $19.95 to $89, as many goods are still coming from China.

Temu has already launched similar partnerships in places like the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. The company says that more than 50% of sellers on its platform make a sale within 20 days.

Australian sellers can start listing their products today. Since its launch in 2023, Temu has been growing fast in Australia, with visits up by 72% year-on-year. It was even the most-downloaded iPhone app in Australia last year!

The platform is known for its insanely cheap products and campaigns where users can earn credits to spend on the site, essentially getting stuff for free. According to Roy Morgan, about 3.8 million Aussies have made purchases from Temu in the last year. It looks like Temu is here to stay!
