Post service and international trade
Release time:2013-09-05 Source:admin Reads:
Shipping and logistics play a very important part in international trade. For the transportation of small package, it is very convenient to ship via Express such as UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc. UPS is an American global package delivery company headquartered in Sandy Springs, Georgia, United States. It delivers more than 15 million packages with sticker labels a day to more than 6.1 million customers in more than 220 countries and territories around the world. Historically, the bulk of UPS' competition came from inexpensive ground-based delivery services, such as Parcel Post or Choice Logistics. FedEx expanded into the ground parcel delivery market by acquiring RPS and rebranding it as FedEx Ground in 2000. DHL expanded its US operations by acquiring Airborne Express, significantly increasing its presence in the United States, and adding more competition in the ground delivery market. In response to this, UPS partnered with the US Postal Service to offer UPS Mail Innovations, a program that allows UPS to pick up mail and transfer it to a USPS center, or destination sticker labels, for final distribution. This process is also known as zone skipping, long used by Parcel Consolidators. More recently, the continued growth of online shopping, combined with increasing awareness of the role transportation has on the environment, has contributed to the rise of emerging competition from niche carriers or rebranded incumbents. For instance, the US Postal Service claims "greener delivery" of parcels on the assumption that USPS letter carriers deliver to each US address, six days a week anyway, and therefore offer the industry's lowest fuel consumption sticker labels. Other carriers, like ParcelPool.com, which specializes in residential package delivery to APO-FPO addresses, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and other US Territories, arose in response to increased demand from catalog retailers and online for low-cost residential delivery services closely matching service standards normally associated with more expensive expedited parcel delivery.
