On the afternoon of November 11th Beijing time, the overseas Singles' Day sale on AliExpress was exceptionally lively, and many cross-border merchants experienced the exhilaration of "skyrocketing orders."

"Orders just keep pouring in," "We were conservative in stocking up," "A few hours after placing orders, Cainiao International Express shipped them out"... Soon, there were more and more screenshots of orders shared by merchants on social media platforms. Some even stated, "Experiencing the fastest overseas Singles' Day. Consumers are quick to place orders, and Cainiao ships them out quickly."

According to Cainiao International Express, facing the surge in Singles' Day cross-border orders, Cainiao Logistics has not degraded its services. The outbound efficiency has increased by over 50% compared to the same period last year. Among them, the first batch of "Global 5-Day Delivery" parcels has entered the airport's "VIP waiting hall" and is about to board Cainiao chartered flights to Spain, the UK, the Netherlands, and other countries.

In addition, Cainiao International Express has fully deployed automated production lines, cross-belt sorters, and other "black technology" intelligent devices in its cross-border warehouses in North China, East China, South China, and other regions, operating 24 hours a day. Among them, the cross-border preferred warehouses serving JIT (Just-In-Time) delivery have increased their capacity by over 80%.

Many AliExpress merchants have encountered situations where "even with ample stocking, they couldn't keep up with the speed of consumer orders." One merchant selling electric lifting desks exclaimed, "I originally prepared goods for 2 days, but they were sold out in just one hour. A few hours later, the Cainiao backend showed that the parcels had been dispatched."

Fast ordering, fast outbound processing, and even faster delivery. On the eve of this year's Singles' Day, AliExpress, in collaboration with Cainiao, launched the "Global 5-Day Delivery" international express service. After the sale started at 4 p.m. on the 11th, Cainiao's 16 cross-border preferred warehouses simultaneously began processing and dispatching "Global 5-Day Delivery" parcels, ensuring delivery to Europe in about five days.

During this year's Singles' Day and the peak cross-border season, Cainiao International Express has activated its global network of 18 major overseas distribution centers, with a weekly capacity of over 210 flights and digital customs clearance at more than 100 ports. Under the facilitation of AliExpress's full hosting, the stocking capacity of Cainiao's preferred warehouses has increased tenfold compared to last year. Additionally, ongoing optimization of cross-border logistics solutions for regions such as the Middle East, North America, and Brazil has enabled global consumers to experience the "fastest Singles' Day ever" and has assisted cross-border merchants in seizing the largest growth opportunities of the year.

It is understood that as the world's largest cross-border e-commerce logistics company, Cainiao's global smart logistics network covers over 200 countries and regions. In the fiscal year 2023, Cainiao processed over 1.5 billion cross-border parcels, serving more than 133 million cross-border consumers and over 100,000 merchants and brands.
