This year, the Double-11 Shopping Festival started ahead of schedule. In order to deliver goods to consumers quickly, in Guangdong Tianrun Logistics Market in Dongfeng Town, major logistics companies made preparations one month in advance to deliver "Zhongshan-made products" to all parts of the country.
"We primarily operate Shandong's ground transportation service. Cost-effective small household appliances made in Dongfeng, Nantou and other towns and districts are popular there," said Zhang Xiuqun, general manager of Zhongshan Luyun Logistics Co Ltd.
At present, more than 280 logistics companies engaged in automotive shipping, air transportation, marine transportation, and combined shipping methods have moved into Guangdong Tianrun Logistics Market. Their transportation network covers more than 80% of prefecture-level cities, Hong Kong and Macao regions in China, as well as such neighboring countries as Vietnam and Myanmar, with more than 15,000 business outlets.
According to Jiang Weiwen, deputy general manager of Guangdong Tianrun Logistics Market Development Co Ltd, the 15 days leading up to the Double-11 Shopping Festival is the annual peak time for the shipping industry, with an average daily output of more than 50,000 cubic meters of goods. Local small household appliances account for more than 90% of the total and are sold well in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and other places.
