Abstract: The expansion of the postal industry in China has attempted to keep pace with the rapid growth of the country's economy. The transformation of the industry from offering basic services to state-of- the-art express delivery services has taken place in less than half a century. While China Post dominates the postal services market, global courier companies have established a major presence in the fast growing courier and express delivery segment of China.

FedEx has been the most successful player amongst them. The company's strategic alliances with major domestic companies, a large distribution network and fast delivery services offers a unique advantage over competitors DHL, UPS and TNT in China.
