FedEx and UPS have confirmed they will continue to conduct international delivery services in China in response to rumors that they will suspend the services amid the Covid-19 epidemic.
It was previously rumored that international courier companies including UPS, Canada Post, Japan Post, and FedEx will suspend postal and parcel express services in China.
FedEx and UPS told Chinese media their services would remain normal.
FedEx temporarily suspended express deliveries to Shanghai Pudong International Airport on March 28 because of the city-wide lockdown, but has already resumed accepting incoming international express shipments to the airport since Monday.
FedEx said its international express and freight center at Pudong Airport has kept operating during the recent outbreak to ensure stable exports and facilitate international trade.
UPS also assuaged concerns that the delivery company would suspend imported mail and parcel services.
It suspended some import services in Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu, but its transshipment facilities in Shanghai and Shenzhen continue to operate.
Canada Post has suspended parcel deliveries to China, but will continue to deliver to China via surface delivery. Japan Post has halted express mail from Japan to China, only allowing letter post, effective April 22.
