Cainiao launches discounted shipping service covering 36 countries
Cainiao Group has bolstered its global network resilience and delivery capacity ahead of the 11.11 Global Shopping Festival.
With more than 40 overseas warehouses and cross-border sorting centers currently in the stocking phase, Cainiao, in collaboration with AliExpress, is ramping up operations. To manage anticipated order volumes, the company is temporarily increasing its warehouse workforce and expanding its in-warehouse processing capabilities by utilizing millions of square meters of Choice Warehouses, first-mile distribution centres, and Just-in-Time (JIT) warehouses. Logistics teams across Europe, the Americas, and Asia are accelerating stocking efforts and establishing additional global supply centres and dedicated fleets to ensure timely restocking and transport.
To enhance air freight capabilities, Cainiao has secured premium shipping resources targeted at key markets a month in advance, enabling flexible cargo solutions that facilitate smooth deliveries during peak promotional periods.
In addition to enhanced logistics network, Cainiao is upgrading its industry solutions to support AliExpress merchants in expanding their product offerings. A newly launched discounted shipping service now covers 36 countries, allowing small to medium-sized businesses to benefit from a 15-30% reduction in logistics costs, with over 50% savings on long-distance routes such as those to Mexico.
Cainiao’s specialised freight solutions cater to items requiring special handling and are now available in 53 countries, utilizing a mix of air, rail, and truck transport to expedite international shipping. The upgraded “Oversized Item Line” addresses the needs for bulky goods, covering 11 countries including Europe, the Americas, Australia, and South Korea, with real-time logistics tracking available on the AliExpress app.
As the largest logistics provider emerging from a global e-commerce ecosystem, Cainiao leverages in-depth e-commerce insights and years of experience in handling significant volume spikes during major shopping events. With the expansion of local delivery networks in key markets—such as Hong Kong, Spain, France—Cainiao empowers global merchants and brands to save costs and enhance delivery efficiency, helping they stay competitive in the global marketplace.
