Temu will place an order even if it doesn't have the product in stock. Temu's JIT (Just-In-Time) model allows sellers to pre-sell on the platform without having to stock the product in Temu's warehouse. However, in this model, sellers are responsible for delivering the goods to Temu's warehouse and are required to put the goods into storage within 48 hours of the product being sold, otherwise there may be compensation.

Please note that Temu merchants can only ship after placing an order, and must comply with relevant rules when shipping, including shipping time limits. If the product is shipped beyond the time limit, you may face penalties. At the same time, sellers also need to pay attention to sales and rating issues to avoid having the product removed from the shelves or withdrawn from supply.

In general, Temu can place an order even if it doesn't have the product in stock, but sellers need to abide by the platform rules, ensure that the goods are delivered to the warehouse in a timely manner, and maintain good sales and ratings.
