Better preparations for Single’s Day

Customers did not face a long delay in courier services during Single’s Day this year unlike last year, the State Post Bureau said yesterday.

Chinese courier firms received more than 346 million parcels between November 11 Ñ Single’s Day Ñ and November 16, a surge of 73 percent from last year’s, the bureau said in a statement on its website.

The peak period for courier services was on November 13, two days after Single’s Day, when the courier firms delivered 65.17 million parcels, a jump of 85 percent from last year’s.

“The courier firms had made full preparation and even worked overnight during the weekends to avoid delays,” the bureau said.

About 80 percent of the orders were made on Taobao.com, said Huang Gang, director of a logistics expert panel with the China E-Business Association.
