In the cross-border industry of 2024, one of the most exciting developments is the TEMU semi-managed mode, which has reshaped the landscape for sellers and logistics providers. TEMU initially introduced a fully managed model, but in March of this year, it shifted toward a semi-managed approach, transforming its business structure. Now, the TEMU semi-managed mode has attracted numerous sellers and logistics service providers. Sellers on the platform showcase their business strengths and capture market share, while logistics providers with overseas warehouses are actively expanding their dropshipping services under this model, experiencing steady growth and sending positive signals.
Recently, Niuku International engaged in in-depth communication with the TEMU platform and successfully became a certified TEMU partner warehouse. Moving forward, Niuku International Logistics will continue to offer customized, efficient, and reliable logistics services to cross-border sellers

Notably, they have a self-operated 200,000+ sq. ft. warehouse in Los Angeles (West Coast) and a 100,000+ sq. ft. warehouse in New Jersey (East Coast).

Integration with TEMU-certified warehouses facilitates efficient business expansion.

Certified warehouses must adhere to specific performance standards, including a 2-day outbound lead time and a 5-day fulfillment period.
