Overview
- Temu and Colissimo signed a protocol that lets the platform use La Poste services such as parcel delivery, warehousing and order preparation like any other client.
- The agreement includes plans to create a domestic delivery offer for French sellers to provide end‑to‑end shipping, with no financial terms disclosed and future remunerated contracts possible.
- The Alliance du commerce and Procos condemned the pact and urged the government to act, citing risks to fair competition for retailers based in France.
- Trade bodies called for customs duties on parcels under €150, EU‑level handling fees on small packages, tougher controls and sanctions, and a reexamination of Universal Postal Union advantages.
- La Poste says major Chinese platforms account for roughly 20–22% of Colissimo volumes, and some media report broader outlet access and faster delivery for Temu, claims not detailed in the protocol.
