As the Spring Festival approaches, families are busy preparing food, have you started to do the same? However, I found a little explosive thing, many supermarkets and fresh food distribution platforms are about to usher in the "Spring Festival stalls", and with this schedule, the freight has also begun to adjust.
First of all, Hema announced that it will not be closed during the Spring Festival, but in order to continue to provide high-quality delivery services, they will charge shipping from February 7 to February 17, that is, if you place an order to buy goods in Hema stores through online service platforms such as the Hema app, no matter how much the order amount, you will be charged a shipping fee of 6 yuan per order.
Wow, that's big news! This move by Hema will undoubtedly cause a wave of attention and discussion. However, don't forget that Sam's also announced the latest Spring Festival shipping instructions on the homepage of the app, and they will add 3 yuan per order to the existing shipping fee to subsidize the delivery staff who stick to their posts during the Spring Festival.
But that's not all, Dingdong Food, ALDI, RT-Mart, etc. have also followed up and launched their own new strategies for Spring Festival freight. Dingdong launched a Spring Festival service fee for the first time, with an additional charge of 3 yuan per order; ALDI, on the other hand, charges a delivery fee of 5 yuan per order, but you can also use points to redeem free shipping coupons; As for RT-Mart, their "hourly delivery" service remains unchanged, but the free shipping threshold for "half-day delivery" has been adjusted to 69 yuan.
Not to be outdone, CR Vanguard will see a 4 yuan increase in delivery fees between February 3 and February 16.
These adjustments have undoubtedly caused heated discussions among netizens on social **, and most people said that they can understand, after all, the work pressure during the Spring Festival is high, and the appropriate freight premium can also be given to the riders. However, some netizens believe that the price increase is slightly higher, and the three times the salary that should have been borne by the employer has been passed on to consumers.
Not only instant delivery, but this year's express delivery has also announced that it will not close, and there has been a slight price increase. From ordering online car-hailing to sending express delivery, to ordering takeout, and even going out to eat, all kinds of consumption during the Spring Festival may have to be subject to a certain service fee.
Relevant experts said that this is the adjustment behavior after the change in the relationship between supply and demand in the market. As long as the price increase complies with relevant laws and regulations, such as the principles of clear price marking and fair trade, and consumers are informed in advance, it is legal and compliant.
In order to save some freight, some netizens decided to place an order for Hema today, Dingdong to buy vegetables tomorrow, ALDI the day after tomorrow, and then use RT-Mart ......However, seeing that these restaurants are delicious, it is estimated that I will still be unable to hold my breath when the time comes**.
