联邦快递和美国联合包裹运送服务公司均已向国家邮政局提出申请经营国内快递业务，公示期至5月31日。如果不出意外，两大快递巨头将可获得国内快递业务。昨天，联邦快递回复称，该公司对中国市场有着长期承诺，并且注重和我们的客户一同发展我们的业务。该公司表示，根据《邮政法》有关规定，联邦快递已经提交了国内服务经营许可的申请。“我们将继续与政府机构保持紧密沟通与合作，照常开展业务。
联邦快递的经营城市只有上海、深圳、广州、杭州、天津、大连、郑州、成都，UPS的经营城市仅有上海、广州、深圳、天津、西安，两者经营城市范围均未超过10个。业内人士表示，联邦快递、UPS定位高端市场，网购业务占据**比重的中通、韵达等“四通一达”并不会受到波及。反而是顺丰速度和EMS，将面对联邦快递、UPS的竞争。联邦快递等外资快递公司进入中国时，快递业务由商务部管辖，运营并无限制。2009年10月1日，《快递业务经营许可管理办法》和新修改的《邮政法》同步实施，除了首次在法律上明确快递企业的地位、提出快递业准入门槛以外，还规定外商不得投资经营信件的国内快递业务，导致各大快递巨头的国内快递业务均不同程度受到影响。去年，DHL将其经营中国国内快递业务的全一快递****股份出售，淡出了国内快递市场。

Although FedEx only operates in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou,Hangzhou, Tianjin, Dalian, Zhengzhou and Chengdu, UPS only operatesin Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Xi'an, and bothoperate in less than 10 cities. Industry insiders said that FedExand UPS positioned themselves in the high-end market, and the "fourconnections and one arrival" of Zhongtong and Yunda, whose onlineshopping business accounted for an absolute proportion, would notbe affected. Instead, Shunfeng Speed and EMS will face thecompetition from FedEx and UPS first. When FedEx and other foreignexpress companies enter China, the express business is under thejurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, and there is norestriction on its operation. On October 1, 2009, the Measures forthe Administration of Express Business License and the newlyrevised Postal Law were implemented simultaneously. In addition todefining the status of express enterprises in law for the firsttime and proposing the entry threshold for the express industry, italso stipulated that foreign investors should not invest in thedomestic express business of letters, which has affected thedomestic express business of major express giants to varyingdegrees.
