Before the restructuring, the assets and liabilities of the postal service were owned by the company. The existing postal services must be responsible for its profit and losses by itself as the government did not arrange budget. Moreover, the parcel business in post office encounters the fierce competition against the private couriers and home delivery. This article aims to study and observe the business turnover index and the industrial production index, based on the parcel volume in post office from the period of 2002 to 2012. The main research methods are time series analysis and the two-stage test method, to identify the relationship between business turnover index and the industrial production index. The article found that there is a co-integrating relationship between business turnover index and parcel volume, which means parcel volume and business turnover index have a long-run equilibrium relationship.
