The report conducted full big data analytics on time limits of nine leading express delivery brands including China Post EMS for their inter-city delivery service among 50 major cities, objectively reflecting the timeliness of the industry with full mail data. According to the findings of the analytics, China Post EMS achieved an end-to-end inter-city delivery time of 44.38 hours and a 72-hour delivery rate of 91.88 percent, with both key indicators ranking first in the industry. This is another industry-leading result, following the third quarter of 2025 when China Post EMS ranked first in the industry for these two key indicators. Consistently outperforming the industry average, China Post EMS has demonstrated its industry-leading timeliness.

China Post EMS has promoted speeding up delivery service in the market of the 50 major cities and top 13 provinces designated by the State Post Bureau, and simultaneously made efforts to boost the speed of key delivery routes of Douyin platform, thus driving improvement in delivery efficiency and timeliness across the entire network with major breakthroughs. China Post EMS has also strengthened efforts of trans-regional networking.

In the collection process, China Post EMS has guaranteed prompt mail collection and dispatch to eradicate delays.

Consequently, such efforts have facilitated China Post EMS shifting from experience-based management to data-driven management, and effectively boosted the achievement of its time limit targets and continuous improvement of its platform indices.
