The agreement that USPS made with China for ePacket was not so stupid. USPS loses less money with ePacket than when Chinese suppliers ship with regular mail and rates set by the UPU. However, ePacket offers exceptional tracking and delivery times – two critical requirements for e-commerce consumers. Without ePacket, the total volume of parcels supplied by Chinese suppliers would almost certainly be lower. In 2010-2011, USPS entered into an agreement with Hong Kong Post and China Post, which came into effect in 2011 to offer a shipping option called “ePacket.” What an ePacket boils down to is that merchants in Hong Kong and mainland China could now ship packages up to 4.4 lbs, with follow-up and 7-10 hours of delivery. But here`s the table football — sending a package from China to the U.S. is about $1 cheaper than from the U.S. This is not a typo. It is $1 cheaper to send from China to the United States than from the United States to the United States. The reason ePacket delivery has become a thing – and the reason for this agreement between postal services – is that China has tried to increase the number of online sales from China and Hong Kong and to go to other countries.

“There are many ways to make cheap Chinese products to hurt U.S. production, but epacket is pretty negligible.” A terribly unattainable statement from someone who has obviously never owned a production site. The change primarily benefits eBay sellers, who determine their own shipping costs. But Amazon and its sellers will also benefit. “International maritime agreements should not create or maintain artificial distinctions between vendors,” said Paul Misener, Amazon`s vice president of global public order, at a 2015 Congressional hearing on final taxes.

Fortunately, this agreement is beneficial for global e-commerce and, above all, for the abandonment of shippers and e-shop owners who make a living selling products from these countries. ePacket Delivery can be offered to almost any distributor who is interested in Chinese or Hong Kong products.
