What is the difference between China Post's (ordinary parcel) and (express parcel)?

Ordinary: it usually takes a week, in far away cities it takes longer more than 10 days. The parcel will be sent directly to the post office, the postman will send a pick up parcel sheet to you, you need to take that pick up parcel sheet post office to pick up their own.

Express delivery: it usually takes 2 to 3 days to arrive, are delivered. Several layers are delivered, this is the rule, if they do not deliver you can complain about them, it only shows that they are lazy.

Ordinary parcels: the lowest cost, they have to go to the affiliated postal branch to take, the slowest time limit. (Go to the general postal network, enjoy the national subsidies)

Express parcels: rates between EMS and ordinary parcels, can be delivered to the door, the time limit with the letter. (Take the general postal network, enjoy the national subsidies)

EMS: the highest cost, can be delivered to the door, the fastest time limit. (Go to the express network, there are routes to the plane)

Other courier companies express standards and EMS is basically the same, but the rate is lower than EMS.

Postal both general postal network and express network, the coverage is the widest, regardless of the local economic situation, the network runs regardless of cost. And private courier can be done profitably, loss-making places he will not do. And the postal service in the delivery of mail, are using containers set outside, on the one hand, to ensure privacy, on the other hand, to reduce the possibility of loss of goods.
