Recently, the Ministry of Transport listened to the report on the fact that transportation will be closer to people's livelihood in 2024 and reviewed the "Measures for the Management of the Express Market".
The Measures for the Administration of the Express Market (Revised Draft) (Draft for Comments) was issued by the State Post Bureau on January 7, 2023 for public comment.
I don't know exactly how many comments were received, but many of the provisions in this regulation are a bit harsh. One of the most criticized things for grassroots outlets and front-line couriers is:
Without the consent of the user, it is not allowed to confirm the receipt of the express mail on behalf of the user, and the express mail shall not be delivered to the express terminal service facilities such as smart express boxes and express service stations without authorization
If there is any unauthorized delivery to the express station or express cabinet against the consumer's wishes, the person directly responsibleThe maximum fine is 3,000 yuan, the company involved is fined up to 30,000 yuan. ”
This rule: really ruthless!
First of all, we can learn from recent years, the local post administration on the punishment of not delivering goods to the door has long been implemented, but the current penalty standard is still relatively low, mainly in Zhejiang Province. Let's take a few examples of what happened in December:
A network technology in Zhejiang was fined 300 yuan for failing to deliver according to the requirements of the recipient
A logistics company in Luqiao, Taizhou City, was fined 300 yuan for failing to deliver to the door according to the requirements of the recipient
A chain in Luqiao, Taizhou City, was fined 300 yuan for failing to deliver to the door according to the requirements of the recipient
At present, it can be said that nearly half of the express delivery is to put express cabinets or post stations, if you change according to the above standards, that is, tens of thousands of fines at every turn, then the country every day because of this fine express delivery companies may have to have thousands, and may exist every day, this ** can suffer, all of a sudden the express delivery industry will be paralyzed.
If some criminals take advantage of this punishment loophole and deliberately blackmail couriers and express companies, it will not be too easy, and then the express delivery industry will really be "no one dares to do it at all".
Secondly, the express delivery industry has finally developed the Xi of picking up express delivery at consumer stations or express cabinets, and it has indeed greatly improved the delivery efficiency of express delivery. On the basis of only a small increase in the number of employees, we have achieved a high growth in the volume of express delivery business. Home delivery is not a hard need for most people in many places. It is true that there are some recipients who have difficulty moving to their homes and need to be delivered to their homes, but it is definitely a small number of people's needs.
Again, the fine standard is too harsh. Zhejiang fined 300 yuan, is already a lot of express brother a day or even a few days of salary income, you make a tens of thousands of is too ruthless, really feel that the express industry outlets die not fast enough, the express delivery industry personnel recruitment is not difficult enough? The turnover of personnel in the express delivery industry is very high, and we can often see on WeChat that every year, the personnel in the express delivery industry need to replace a large number of people. Many of them love the industry, but the reality is very cruel.
Finally, I hope that the regulatory departments of the law and the terms and conditions of the system will go to the scene to see, you can make a private visit to the microservice, or go to the front line of express delivery to experience it yourself, and see what the work experience of the front-line couriers is, and you can come up with some rules that are conducive to the development of the express delivery industry.
What do you think?
