(Yicai Global) May 13 -- Cainiao Guoguo, the parcel delivery service under Alibaba Group Holdings’ Cainiao Smart Logistics Network that is China's largest online mailing platform, will partner with Shenzhen-based cross-border e-commerce logistics provider For Perfect X-border to inaugurate low-cost international mailing services for users in more than 2,800 Chinese counties and districts.

The cost is a bit more than CNY200 (USD29) per kilogram for a package sent to the US via the platform, which is less than half the price DHL express charges, Beijing Youth Daily reported yesterday.

The new platform will provide quick package collection and real-time tracking with its multiple outlets in various Chinese towns and villages.

The service will reach more than 20 countries and regions, including the US, UK, France, Germany, Japan and South Korea.
