China's postal and courier companies handled more packages during this year's mid-year shopping spree compared with the same period of 2020 and 2019, official data showed.

More than 6.59 billion packages were handled from June 1 to June 20, during the so-called "618" online shopping festival, up 24.24 percent from a year earlier, said the State Post Bureau.

The figure represented an 84.16-percent increase compared with the same period of 2019.

E-commerce giants set new sales records during the largest promotion event so far this year, demonstrating the huge potential of China's consumer market, according to the bureau.
