Alibaba logistics firm Cainiao launches next-day cross-border deliveries by way of Hong Kong

Quick Summary:

Through a new route from the Hong Kong airport to Zhuhai, online purchases can reach buyers in Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu as fast as one day.

Earlier this month, Cainiao announced a new warehouse partnership with American online vitamins retailer iHerb that will be able to process up to 15,000 orders per day.

The Zhuhai route disrupts the current model that transports goods primarily by train or lorry, a relatively slow option, or by air from Hong Kong to Shanghai, which is costly.
