Yes. It's a relative new word, we used to call it "包裹"（packaging）back to China Post time. The China Post was the only company provide delivery service in China at that time. "快递" has only two characters, it's already short enough, isn't it?

<p>I want to know the translation of the word "express" (both characters and pinyin) as you would describe an express courier service? 
Also, is there a new-invented word (maybe by the youth) that is used today to convey the meaning of express? </p>
