11.11, Singles' Day of 2015: news & updates

Same here. Tmall (the major player of 11.11) calls for flagship shops in Tmall to send their own parcels. Amazon in China is like JD.com which has their own logistics system. In China many people trust private delivery giants more, they can ensure same day delivery or 24h delivery. eBay has already disappeared in China.

Free shipping in the US usually means Ground Transportation, it typically takes 3-8 business days. Overnight shipping is very expensive, and the same day delivery is unheard of. Chinese need to teach Americans how to build an efficient logistic system.

Ground transportation? U mean similar to the old style delivery by China Post? Amazon.cn here provides free delivery if u order stuff worth more than 99yuan, and it usually arrives in the same day or the next day. And u know where is your parcel is, for example already packed, already at regional logistics center, or delivery man is on his way to your home.

All top5 are still costal provinces or municipalities.
One positive aspect compared to last year's list is we can see more provinces from Central China(Hubei, Henan) and Western China(Sichuan) in the top10 list.

Singles' Day packages burnt to ash after truck catches fire
(Chinanews.com) 14:49, November 13, 2015

Over 4,000 parcels were destroyed after a courier truck caught fire on a highway in Jiangxi province on November 12, 2015. The goods valued more than one million yuan in total. Police said the fire started from some parcels while an investigation was under way. China's Internet users spent more than 91 billion yuan ($14.3 billion) in the planet’s biggest online shopping splurge on Wednesday, as “Singles Day” shopping celebrations hit new heights. Singles Day is not a traditional festival, but e-commerce giant Alibaba has been pushing November 11 — a date heavy on ones — since 2009 as it looks to tap the country’s huge, and expanding, army of Internet shoppers.
