On February 14, J&T Express, China's booming shipping company, was summoned to meet with the National Postal Administration (NPA) over its alleged use of substandard shipping bags. The NPA cited results from ongoing nationwide packaging and quality inspections, which discovered that since 2021, J&T Express had not only breached the standard in Shandong, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai and Tianjin but also in other provinces such as Shanxi and Sichuan.

The statement from the NPA reads, "In both 2021 and 2022, J&T Express repeatedly used packages that failed to meet the national standard for both packaging and bag quality. As a result of these breaches, the company was summoned to a meeting with the National Postal Administration to discuss the matter further." They also added, "The company was instructed to improve its packaging and product quality control, and urged to ensure full compliance with the national standard in the future."

J&T Express, a relatively new player in the shipping industry with a presence in China, has experienced explosive growth and rapidly gained market share since its inception. It has been aggressively competing for market share against older and more established players, such as China Post.

As news of the administrative warning spread, the incident sparked a lively debate on Chinese social media. Netizens had mixed reactions to the news, with some expressing pleasure at seeing NPA take action, while others criticized the performance of other major players in the industry.

One user wrote, "Can you also take a look at China Post? They are way too slow and have the worst customer service." Another tweet read, "I hate J&T Express; their delivery is extremely slow, and their service is abysmal."

However, some users hit back, defending J&T, with one saying, "At least they deliver to my door. Unlike China Post, which will dump my package at the nearest post office and tell me it's been delivered."

In the face of this criticism, J&T Express, which has a history of delivery problems in the past, has begun implementing changes to improve its delivery standards. The company's management said that it would take the warnings of the NPA seriously and work hard to improve its performance. They acknowledged that while they have made progress in many areas, there is still more work to be done in terms of meeting customer requirements and ensuring quality control at all levels of the supply chain.

As the situation unfolds, it is clear that J&T Express faces a significant challenge in overcoming these allegations and earning the trust of its customers. With the increased competition and the importance of meeting the expectations of its customers, the company will need to take proactive steps to address these issues and demonstrate its commitment to quality control and customer service.

This is not the first time J&T Express has faced controversy over its delivery practices. In recent years, the company has been the subject of numerous customer complaints, many of which have been shared online. Despite this, J&T Express remains a major player in the shipping industry, and its response to these recent allegations will be closely watched by customers and competitors alike.
