A consumer in Guangdong Province received his first purchase during the busy Singles' Day shopping season while he was still online buying things.  

And that only cost some 13 minutes from his payment. The swift arrival came thanks to increased delivery speeds and efficiency by China's logistic companies.

China Post estimates that there will be more than 1 billion express deliveries during the November 11th shopping season. That's an increase of 35 percent from last year.

It's expected that the highest number of daily deliveries may exceed 240 million. That's more than two times the usual number.
