Shein's rapid growth in the U.S. has led to the rise of SpeedX, a low-cost delivery service specializing in small international packages. SpeedX delivers parcels for Shein, Amazon, Temu, and TikTok, using independent contractors instead of its fleet for last-mile deliveries. SpeedX offers lower and more predictable pricing than FedEx and UPS, avoiding peak and demand surcharges even during the holiday season. SpeedX CEO Chris Zheng emphasizes that expertise in expediting border clearance is crucial for bridging the "black hole" between aircraft arrival and final mile delivery.
