    With the development of the Internet, there come many related services, and one of the most popular ones is the courier service. It is reported that courier services in China will deliver about 12 billion parcels this year, which makes it possible for China to overtake the United States and become the largest market for courier services in the world. Most of the parcels contain items purchased online. China provides millions of online retailers with opportunities to sell their products at significantly competitive prices. Chinese consumers bought $9 billion worth of commodities from the nation's largest shopping platform just on the day of 11th November. Since the number of Internet users is steadily increasing, it is no wonder that China's courier services will further expand in the future.
