March 1 marks the day of implementation of the new express delivery regulations, one of the most influential of which is: it is strictly forbidden to store express items in the post station without permission!
On the first day of the introduction of this new regulation, all express delivery has suffered a different impact.
Among them, it is rumored on the Internet that there is a courier brother strike at an express transfer station in a certain place, **medium and large express delivery is piled up in the warehouse, according to the photographer**: It is difficult to do express delivery now, employees are on strike, (warehouse) has (almost) 10,000 express deliveries!
As the person who broke the news said: That's fine! There was neither a post station nor a courier. (Since it wasn't delivered by the courier brother).
It is undeniable that the starting point of the new express delivery regulations is good, at least to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and also to promote the healthy development of the express delivery industry to a certain extent! There is no doubt about that! But the impact should not be underestimated!
Network**, has nothing to do with this article.
The new regulations have been introduced, and there are voices of support and opposition!
For this new regulation, netizens have expressed their opinions, many netizens are in favor of this new regulation, and feel that before the post station, the courier brother can be told that since there is a post station, can't do it?
At the same time, there are many netizens who feel that it is quite convenient to put the express at the post station, there is no time constraint, and you can pick up the parcel by yourself when you have nothing to do!
The most popular point of view is naturally the courier brother, many courier brothers say: the implementation of the new express delivery regulations is not very practical! The income of the courier brother is related to the number of delivery parcels, and the more deliveries, the better.
If a person hits the recipient one by one, it is a waste of time, then the impact on income will not drop sharply, but it is very likely to be "blue waist cut" or even lower!
How to deliver the express before the station?
In fact, according to the relevant laws and regulations of the express delivery industry, the express delivery itself is home delivery. It's just that in the actual operation of the courier brother, except for Jingdong and SF, there are very few couriers who can really do this.
In order to save time and effort, the courier brother usually informs the recipients one by one at a fixed location in the community and asks them to pick up the express downstairs.
If the recipient is out of the house or has no convenience, it is usually placed in supermarkets and other stores around the community to wait for the recipient to pick up the package at their leisure.
This distribution is inefficient for the courier brother, and the monthly phone bill is not a small expense; And it caused great inconvenience to the recipient, either signing at the first time or going to supermarkets and other stores to pick up the package, and having to say thank you to the boss when leaving.
Later, the post station gradually blossomed and bore fruit all over the country, at the beginning of the courier brother still had to inform the recipient whether it was convenient to go down the stairs to pick up, if it was inconvenient, ask if you could put the post station; Or directly in the station, you can call the recipient to inform.
After a while, ** was gone, and I packed up the courier and pulled it all to the post station! The rest of the work is done by the post staff! The station will push a message to the receiver in the form of SMS and software to notify the receiver to receive the pickup code.
It can be said that after the emergence of the post station, the first to benefit the most are the courier brothers, which greatly improves their distribution efficiency! Second, it is convenient for a large number of recipients to pick up at the post station at any time.
Speaking of this, I think someone must say, if there is no post station, the courier brother can be beaten over, why is there a post station, but the courier brother is annoying?
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, with the post station, the courier fee was relatively expensive before, and the number of express deliveries in a day was not as much as it is today! Nowadays, various express companies compete for beauty, "small profits but quick turnover". Then the delivery fee to the courier brother was compressed, one per person.
Secondly, as a receiver, it is completely free for us to pick up the parcel at the post station. However, when the courier brother sends the package to the post station, they need to pay in the range of 2 cents to 4 cents for the cost of each item, so the income from the delivery of one piece to the little brother is not much. The courier brother must increase revenue by saving time and increasing the number of deliveries!
JD and SF can do it, why can't other express delivery?
Everyone knows that Jingdong and SF Express are simply delivered to the home, even if they are placed in the post station, you must call ** in advance to obtain the consent of the recipient!
Why can two couriers be done, but not others? To put it bluntly, there is also a courier fee, and anyone who has sent SF Express knows that it is at least twice as expensive as other couriers. Moreover, Jingdong Express needs to reach a certain amount of consumption in order to receive free shipping, otherwise consumers will need to pay postage!
Therefore, it is obviously unfair to talk about service regardless of cost!
So, how do you break this situation?
In fact, this question is not unanswered, there is a term called "value-added services".
Hand over the option to the marketplace, e.g. *** item, and one more option will appear on the payment page:
1. Place the post station (free shipping for the seller).
2. Door-to-door delivery (the buyer pays 5 yuan courier fee).
This allows the consumer to choose the right delivery method. The courier brother also has the opportunity to deliver according to the received express order, whether it is a post station or direct door-to-door delivery, you can earn an extra 5 yuan income!
That's a win-win situation!
