Couriers still reeling from Singles Day sale  

快递业“双11”高烧未退 中国电商再瞄“双12”

沈阳中通快递滑翔区经理郭峰今天很忙。“双11”开始至今，原本坐在办公室安排包裹的他，不得不跨上电动车，每天7点外出送件到晚上9点以后。在他工作的快递站，已经有3名快递员不堪电商的“双11”重负辞职。

Shenyang (CNS) -- It's been almost two weeks since the online Singles Day promotion, yet some express courier companies are still busy delivering the excessively large number of products ordered that day.

Guo Feng, regional manager of ZTO Express in Shenyang City, was forced to deliver goods himself on Saturday after three of his employees quit because of the heavy workload brought on by the promotion.

Industry experts say the delivery industry still needs another week to fully recover.

But China's e-commerce sector isn't planning to let up. Taobao, the country's largest online shopping platform, announced Friday that it would organize another online promotion on December 12. Gome and Suning, both suppliers of electrical appliances, also said they would hold similar promotions.

Online shopping businesses frequently hold festivals to stimulate buying, which can cause shopping fatigue, said Qian Weijun, a financial expert.
