Henan Daily

‎Zhengzhou: Henan’s postal and express delivery industry collected 33.46 million parcels on November 11, the annual online shopping festival in China, marking a 16.7% increase compared to the previous year. Additionally, the total number of parcels delivered reached 27.57 million, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 21.8%, according to data released by the Henan Provincial Postal Administration.

The peak season of this year for express delivery services has been particularly long-lasting and demanding. Since the season began on October 21, Henan’s postal and express delivery industry has handled a total of 635 million parcels by midnight on November 11, with an average daily collection volume of 28.85 million parcels. Notably, on October 22, a record of 33.91 million parcels were collected in a single day, setting a new daily volume milestone.

“The ongoing expansion of the express delivery market reflects the continuous growth in online consumer demand, providing strong support for boosting domestic demand and strengthening the positive momentum of economic recovery,” said a staff from the Henan Provincial Postal Administration.

Starting in mid-October, major e-commerce platforms introduced pre-sale mechanisms, leading to a significant increase in demand for postal services. In response, Henan’s postal and express delivery companies have implemented effective measures, including increasing manpower, reallocating transportation capacity, and expanding equipment. They have also made active use of smart networking technologies and intelligent tools such as unmanned vehicles and drones to enhance the industry’s capacity and operational efficiency. These measures have ensured the smooth and secure operation of key transport routes, hubs, and last-mile delivery networks.

Looking ahead, postal and express delivery companies across Henan will continue to implement the “off-peak delivery and balanced progress” strategy, systematically advancing mail and express delivery processing with greater efficiency. They will strengthen operational monitoring, analysis, and early warning systems to ensure the smooth operation of the express delivery peak season.
