The president of Cainiao, Lin Wan, stated that “logistics is not a second thought. Logistics has presently evolved to be a playmaker and major distinction that differentiates enterprises”. “Our contribution to developing an intelligent worldwide freight network, global freight courses, and depots, will offer increased operational efficiency to businesses, cut expenses, honesty, and precision in managing their shipping.

Moreover, Cainiao will increase its depot floor space abroad in the next two years to two million meters square to facilitate Chinese dealers storing their items near their clients. This will also expedite shipping duration. Besides, the firm announced it would reduce its 72-hour shipping assurance for dealers employing its network of warehouses who have adopted online retail from the time the Covid-19 crisis struck the nation.
