A Chinese courier company is out-delivering Amazon — and everyone else — across Southeast Asia.
  • Founded in Jakarta in 2015, J&T Express scaled rapidly by partnering with local operators and serving platforms like Shopee, Temu, and Shein.
  • Now operating in 13 countries, it’s shifting toward direct brand contracts with companies like Sephora and Uniqlo to reduce reliance on marketplaces.
  • Its hybrid model — combining self-owned infrastructure with regional partners — allows it to compete in markets where most players can’t afford to build first.
