📊 Record-breaking surge: this year's Double 11 festival pushed the Chinese mainland's postal and express delivery companies to their limit! From October 21 to November 11, they handled 13.94 billion parcels, with a daily average of 634 million – 1.18 times the usual volume. 🚀
But the real headline? On November 11, the peak single-day volume soared to 777 million parcels, smashing the previous record. That's like processing a parcel every 0.1 milliseconds! 😲📦
First launched in 2009, Double 11 has become one of the world's biggest online shopping extravaganzas, driving massive consumer spending across the Chinese mainland. Each year, logistics teams gear up with tech upgrades, smart sorting centers, and extra delivery staff to meet the demand.
As e-commerce keeps evolving – think livestream shopping, AI-driven recommendations, and faster payment options – expect next year's Double 11 to break even more records. Are you ready to see how far shipments can soar? 🚚✨
