The battle for parcel supremacy

Posted by | Mar 8, 2005 | |

Whenever David Abney looks up from his desk on the executive floor of United Parcel Service’s headquarters in Atlanta, he sees a large map of China mounted on the wall. “I have it right in my line of sight,” he says. “It reminds me and visitors to my office of the size of the place and the opportunity it provides for us.”

As president of the package delivery company’s international business, Mr Abney is quick to stress that Europe, South America and the rest of Asia are also important markets. But the fact that only China is granted its own map shows where his priorities lie.

“China is the largest and most exciting opportunity in the 30 years I’ve been with UPS,” he says. “It’s not a case of ‘should we’ or ‘can we’. If you’re going to be a global company in future you absolutely have to be a player in China.”

Over the past few months, UPS has committed an additional $600m of investment in China as it vies with rivals FedEx, DHL and TNT for leadership of the market.

Ministop Co. announced on March 1 that it will begin handling Japan Post's Yu-Pack parcel delivery service at its 1,684 convenience stores, becoming the second convenience-store operator to do so following Lawson Inc.

By signing up Ministop to handle the Yu-Pack drop-off service at all locations, Japan Post has succeeded in converting another convenience store operator that had been doing business with parcel delivery pioneer Yamato Transport Co.

Ministop currently conducts a similar service for Yamato, but it is expected to switch to Yu-Pack because the leading door-to-door parcel delivery firm does not allow Ministop and other business partners to offer rival services.
