Recently, the express delivery industry ushered in new regulations, requiring couriers to deliver goods to their homes. This change has greatly increased the work intensity of couriers, who used to be able to deliver 600 deliveries a day, but now can only deliver 100 even when customers are at home. The labor intensity has increased, but the unit price of the courier's home delivery has not increased, which has affected the work enthusiasm of the courier.
We know that the intensity of labor is directly proportional to income. As a result, the volume of courier deliveries decreases, and courier companies must increase the unit price of delivery to guarantee the courier's income. Some experts**, in the future, the unit price of express delivery to the door may be similar to that of take-out delivery, about three yuan per order. This means that the freight will increase accordingly, and it is undoubtedly the consumer who will ultimately bear this part of the increased shipping cost.
Some people may say, doesn't the seller provide free shipping service? Indeed, free shipping is because the seller has calculated the shipping cost in the product**. However, as shipping costs increase, this part of the cost is likely to be passed on to consumers.
Now, we buy express delivery, and if we are not satisfied, we can return it directly, and we don't even need to pay for shipping. But if the shipping fee goes up, can we still enjoy this free return?
In fact, courier home delivery is not always the case. On the contrary, it may be a better choice for the courier to deliver the parcel to the courier station or courier locker.
First of all, it is indeed inconvenient for customers to wait for express delivery when they are not at home. If multiple items are purchased and arrive in batches on the same day, it is really troublesome to sign for each one personally. But if it is placed in the express locker, we can pick it up at one time during off-duty hours, which is much more convenient.
In addition, this can indeed improve the efficiency of the delivery of the courier brother. If the courier brother has to deliver to the door one by one, then even if the courier has arrived at the site, we may have to wait another two days to receive it.
To sum up, whether express home delivery is beneficial to us needs to be carefully weighed. While the new regulations are intended to improve the quality of service, they may also result in more costs for consumers. While considering home delivery, we should also pay attention to how to balance the labor rights of couriers and the interests of consumers. Do you support express delivery or door-to-door
