For those of you concerned about Japan Post selling its stake at JP Express to ANA and for those who believe these guys don't know what they are doing, read this article and also do some research about what ALLEX is and about the agreement signed between UPS and ANA (Allex).
"OCS, ALLEX merge
Friday, 26 June 2009 Overseas Courier Service (OCS) and All Express (ALLEX) have signed off on a merger that will see them both operate under the OCS brand from 01 August.
OCS is a long-established Tokyo, Japan-based international parcel delivery and forwarding company 34.5 per cent owned by ANA, while ALLEX is an express parcel delivery service owned by ANA and Japanese forwarders Nippon Express and Kintetsu World Express that provides next-day deliveries to neighbouring Asian countries.
The companies say that by combining the experience of OCS and the sales network of ALLEX, they can better leverage their respective strengths to expand their share of the growing express delivery market in Asia.
Making use of ANA’s Okinawa cargo hub network, which opens in October this year, the new company aims to become a regional integrator providing door-to-door delivery services."
