Why open the "self pick up" mode?

Manufacturing country is the first choice for purchasing

With the rapid spread of foreign epidemics, the problem of insufficient epidemic prevention materials in various countries is very prominent. As a major manufacturing country, China at this stage has become the first place for countries to purchase anti-epidemic materials.

As of the end of March, China's daily output of masks has reached 300 million to 400 million. Many companies have also "cross-border" and "changing lines" to set up masks. Relevant ministries and commissions of the central government have also directly set up "special mask classes" to coordinate and dispatch production nationwide.

"Home delivery" quick and safe

Unlike the cumbersome lease warehouse, freight flights and other modes, "home pick-up" can quickly return the epidemic prevention materials.

Recently, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau announced that within the next 48 hours, Canada will receive millions of medical masks from China. They also leased a warehouse in China to collect epidemic prevention materials as soon as possible, distribute them to various channels, and finally transport them back to Canada.

However, the transportation modes of leased warehouses and freight flights may often encounter difficulties such as the inability to load warehouses and aircraft. The "home pick-up" model, on the contrary, is able to transport the epidemic prevention materials more directly.
