About Zjs Express

Beijing ZJS Express Co., Ltd. is a private courier and parcel delivery company headquartered in Beijing, China. Founded in 1994 by Chen Ping and Chen Dongsheng, the company, originally named Beijing Shuangchen Express, was one of the first private express enterprises in China. Chen Ping's inspiration for the business came from his experience with the convenience of 'Takkyubin' services while studying in Japan. The company began with minor domestic services and grew significantly, establishing major logistics hubs in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou by 2002 to create a national transportation network.

ZJS Express provides a range of services including domestic and international shipping, freight forwarding, warehousing, and other logistics solutions. It serves customers across mainland China and Hong Kong, and partners with other companies, such as the UK's Royal Mail, for deliveries to Europe. The company's business model focuses on providing integrated logistics services for both individual and corporate clients. By 2007, ZJS was a major player in the Chinese market, with a significant market share and thousands of employees. However, the company faced challenges due to the 2008 financial crisis and internal leadership disagreements, which led to co-founder Chen Ping's departure in 2009. Following a period of decline as e-commerce-focused competitors grew, ZJS has sought to regain its market position through significant capital investment, including a nearly RMB 1 billion B-round in 2021.

The company is now focused on transforming from a traditional express brand into a comprehensive logistics service provider, leveraging its established infrastructure, which includes numerous branch offices, operational centers, and strategic cooperation with major airlines. Its offerings include time-limited express delivery and a "cloud warehouse" platform launched in 2016. Key competitors in the domestic market include China Post, S.F. Express, YTO Express, and STO Express.
