YT Express ordered 15 Boeing 737 jets from the United States in September to sharpen its competitiveness. Chen Dejun, chair of Shanghai-based STO Express, said STO had set up 12 transit centers and over 100 branches in the United States during the past two years. News The annual business volume of Chinese courier services is already the best in the world, and the development of cross-border e-commerce companies will further boost the industrys overseas business, he said. Ma Junsheng, director of the State Post Bureau, said courier firms are injecting vitality into the service sector, and are contributing to economic restructuring. News Industrial insiders believe that Chinese courier services are more efficient and customer-oriented than their foreign counterparts. Shanghai ZTO Express chair Lai Haisong said that it is common for American courier services to take a whole week to deliver a package. In China, it is nearer to three days. Yu Weijiao said that courier companies are still trying to improve efficiency. Currently STO requires that the domestic express should be delivered within 48 hours. In the future, the company will try to shorten their delivery time of cross-border packages within 72 hours and reduce the cost of international delivery by at least one third, he said. Words 1.
