Recently, there have been continuous feedback from consumers on the Internet that they cannot receive express delivery.

A consumer said that he bought cat food online, but the courier was delayed, and he had no choice but to temporarily find other channels to buy cat food that the cat was not familiar with to alleviate the current situation. Some netizens also said that their express delivery has a "logistics abnormal reminder" label, which shows that "due to the impact of the epidemic in your area, the express mail will be delayed or returned to the sender." ”

A person in charge of a branch in Dengzhou, Nanyang, Henan Province, said that the current volume of goods is very small, and many merchants cannot send goods. In addition, affected by the epidemic, the volume of goods in a Beijing station has also decreased in recent days, "these days the express delivery is basically two or three days later than the expected delivery time, but there is no suspension." It is difficult to say when it will return to normal. The staff of the above-mentioned Beijing station said.
