PARTING SHOT

摘要

In April, the Cargo Facts team ran an experiment to test the speed, convenience, and reliability of cross-border express shipments between China and the United States: On 27 April we assembled three identical packages weighing in at under 250 grams each and including typical tourist souvenirs – a keychain and chopsticks. Although undoubtedly, FedEx, UPS, or DHL Express would have all been capable of handling the shipment. We shipped the three parcels via China Post, Shentong Express (STO Express), and SF Express to illuminate how China’s express companies would rise to this challenge.
