In order to fully meet the growing needs of the people for a better life and do a good job in ensuring this year's peak season, the postal express industry has carried out a lot of preparations in terms of personnel, transportation capacity, venues, processing equipment, and information systems.
The State Post Bureau proposed that the “two nos” and “three guarantees” requirements of “no paralysis of the entire network, no explosion of important nodes, and smooth flow, safety, and stability” will remain unchanged. The core mechanism of “staggered delivery and balanced advancement” will not change.

The relevant person in charge of the State Post Bureau said that after 10 times of facing the peak season service guarantee work, the postal express industry has formed a relatively mature experience, and the ability to cope with peaks has been effectively enhanced. However, due to the double 11 period, it has to bear twice more than usual.
