Israel's sorting center spotlights China's AliExpress

JERUSALEM - Israel Post's largest sorting center, located in the outskirts of Israeli central city of Modi'in, is busy dealing with cross-border online packages every day, about half of which originated from China's AliExpress.

As more and more Israelis are fond of cross-border online shopping, packages arriving in Israel are rising rapidly.

Israel Post data shows that about 65 million cross-border e-commerce packages were delivered in Israel in 2018, and around half of which were orders from AliExpress, which is owned and operated by Alibaba Group in China.
