According to reports, the industry is proposing a policy of door-to-door delivery fees. This proposal is mainly in response to the upcoming new express delivery regulations, the "Express Electronic Waybill" national standard, which requires couriers to obtain the consent of the recipient before delivery, otherwise they will face fines.
The implementation of this policy, on the one hand, protects the rights and interests of consumers, so that they have the right to decide whether to accept express delivery services; On the other hand, it also puts pressure on the courier as they need to spend more time and effort to contact the recipient to confirm whether it can be delivered.
Therefore, the industry recommends the implementation of express delivery fees, which can not only make up for the increased workload of couriers due to the new regulations, but also allow consumers to understand the value of door-to-door services, so that they are willing to pay for it.
There are two main points of view on how to charge for door-to-door delivery. One is for the consumer to make it clear whether they are willing to pay for the delivery fee at the time of placing the order, and the other is for the courier to charge the recipient at the time of delivery.
However, either way, the rights and interests of the courier need to be taken into account to ensure that they do not suffer losses due to the charge. At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the acceptance of consumers and avoid consumer resentment due to charging issues.
If the door-to-door delivery fee is implemented, it may have a profound impact on the entire express delivery industry. On the one hand, it may change consumers' spending habits and make them more inclined to choose door-to-door services; On the other hand, it may push courier companies to improve the quality of service and improve the treatment of couriers, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the entire industry.
In general, the implementation of express delivery fees is a suggestion worth considering, which can not only protect the rights and interests of consumers, but also improve the efficiency of couriers, and also help promote the healthy development of the express delivery industry.
