Speaking exercise

If you buy more quantities it will be cheaper and you can share with your friends.
I usually buy clothes, not too much, my budget is around 5k.
Some goods you can buy in advance to just pay some advance money . then you don’t need to wait time twelve to buy it but only some of goods like this way. And then on the 11 you can pay it anytime on that day.
I think because you buy it when you receive the product and you don’t like it can return it.
But there are so many packages so it will be a little late when you receive the package.

For DHL there are different business units, I am in forwarding.
Actually we have new business unit for e-commerce but I think in China it hard. The competition is too strong, it it hard to get a position on the market. The cost is higher than local express companies.

I heard in some small places they use the drone.
If there are so many using drones then you can see something around the sky and maybe cross, you can check the height and I don’t think it is workable in some places.

most are test in Germany I don’t think in china will be late.
