What does 130 billion pieces mean when you look at the world?
In horizontal comparison, the mainland's "small parcel" volume is equivalent to 6 times the express delivery volume of the United States in 2022, 14 times the express delivery volume of Japan in 2022, and 25 times the express delivery volume of the United Kingdom in 2022, accounting for more than 60% of the total global express delivery.

Small express delivery, connecting thousands of cities and industries, connecting thousands of households, connecting online and offline, and smoothing both ends of supply and demand.
In ancient times, the mysterious Western Regions were rich in Xinjiang today, and the Silk Road of camel bells in ancient times is now the "express artery" in the northwest. Taking YTO Express as an example, the express shuttle bus connecting Hangzhou and Urumqi has 7 pairs per week, and each vehicle carries more than 20,000 parcels.
In Cangzhou, Hebei Province, the delivery service is integrated into the front end of the industrial chain and supply chain, and the express delivery actively "enters the factory", so that the local "business card" craft glass is exported to more than 50 countries and regions overseas, with an annual shipment of more than 30 million pieces.
Today, more than 3,000 border villages across the country have all been sent to the post, and the Shenxian Bay outpost at an altitude of 5,380 meters has also been delivered by express. With the continuous improvement of the coverage rate of "express delivery into the village", more than 100 million express parcels enter and leave the village every day.
Zhao Chongjiu, director of the State Post Bureau, said that the industry will continue to maintain a steady upward trend in 2024, with an expected growth rate of about 8%. With the advent of the wave of "intelligence", the express delivery country will accelerate to "strong", from "everywhere" to "all the time".
