TapTechNews May 24th news, as the 618 promotion kicks off, Cainiao Courier's national automated sorting centers have successively entered the peak of package processing, and have started multi-shift operation and 24-hour operation.
Cainiao Courier has invested more than twice as many self-owned vehicles as the same period last year to ensure seamless connection during package transfer and ensure that the service is the same as daily during the big promotion, and still provides half-day delivery, on-demand door-to-door and other services.
The newly put into use three sorting centers in Nanjing, Wuhan and Chengdu use high-speed automatic sorters to automatically classify and transfer packages, accelerating the sorting and transfer of packages in East China, Central China and Southwest China.
For the three major logistics hubs in North China Tianjin, East China Jiaxing and South China Guangzhou with concentrated package volumes, Cainiao Courier has added hundreds of direct lines to allow packages to be directly sent to the destination without going through the first sorting. The relevant person in charge of Cainiao Courier said that by reducing the sorting nodes, it can not only save the sorting cost, but also speed up the package by three to five hours.
For special packages that need to be expedited, Cainiao Courier opens a green channel to give priority to the transfer and delivery of emergency packages. According to the previous report of TapTechNews, Cainiao Courier announced the launch of the Fresh Food Affordable Delivery service, claiming that it is guaranteed to arrive within 48 hours and the price is estimated to be half cheaper than that of air transportation. Currently, it has been opened for Luoyang cherry producing areas, Guangzhou litchi producing areas, Shenzhen litchi producing areas, Zhanjiang/Maoming litchi producing areas, and Dongguan litchi producing areas, and the relevant services will also cover many other major fruit and fresh food producing areas in the country later.
The relevant person in charge of Cainiao Courier said that in this year's 618, through a series of measures, Cainiao Courier not only needs to ensure the stability of the logistics service, but also does not let merchants increase the logistics cost.
