**10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
In the past, the amount of work that couriers could complete in 30 minutes now takes 12 hours, is the courier's job still good?
How so? Any industry will go through a period of dividends and competition in the process of its development. The dividend period usually refers to the fact that in the early stage of the development of an industry, due to factors such as large market demand, small competition, and policy support, enterprises can obtain higher profits. The competition period refers to the development of the industry, more and more enterprises enter the market, competition intensifies, and profit margins gradually shrink.
When did couriers come into our lives? This has to start with the rise of China's e-commerce industry. As an important link in the e-commerce logistics chain, couriers are responsible for transporting goods from sellers to buyers. The rise of e-commerce has provided a broad space for development and employment opportunities for the profession of courier.
In China, the express delivery industry has become one of the largest employment accommodation industries. According to statistics, the number of people with labor force in China is 95.3 billion, and of which there are about 84 million people, or about 1 11 of the working population, are engaged in the express delivery industry.
When e-commerce was just emerging, the income level of couriers varied depending on factors such as region, company size, business volume, etc. Taking JD couriers as an example, the salary structure of JD.com's couriers in the early days generally included two parts: basic salary and piecework commission.
Liu Qiangdong once mentioned that JD Logistics has piloted a new salary structure in South China, canceling the basic salary and counting pickups into performance. In this mode, the income of outstanding couriers has increased significantly, and they can earn 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a month, and even some particularly excellent couriers have an income of 80,000 yuan in a month.
However, express companies like JD.com and SF Express are a minority in the industry after all, and the income of these two companies is actually not as high as in previous years.
The monthly income of the courier is also affected by the delivery area in charge. In first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, due to the large volume of express delivery, the monthly income of couriers can be more than 8,000 yuan. In second-tier cities, the monthly income is probably more than 4,500 yuan. This is the normal wage level in the industry.
Back to the topic, data from the State Post Bureau shows that in 2023, the express business volume (excluding the parcel business of the postal group) will be completed by a total of 1,320700 million pieces. With the continuous expansion of the express delivery business, the slogan of "home delivery" has been shouted for many years, but there are still many consumers who have not enjoyed this service. Why is it so difficult to deliver parcels to your door?
Therefore, the new regulations recently introduced by the express delivery industry have naturally sparked heated discussions on the Internet! According to the regulations, from March 1, express delivery shall not be put in the smart express box and post station without authorization, and the maximum fine for violators is 30,000 yuan!
Why is Alibaba's Cainiao Express recruiting people on a large scale recently? Because in order to achieve door-to-door delivery, the current capacity is naturally not enough, and the only solution is to increase the number of people.
On the plus side, this in turn provides a large number of jobs for society. But many courier guys in the industry are having a hard time.
In the words of the courier guys, home delivery is a good thing for consumers, but there are too many problems involved, and it is not a unilateral will to achieve.
To say a very simple example, some office workers like to go to the post station to express themselves, while some elderly people want the express delivery to their door.
In Chun Gongzi's view, home delivery is never the best solution, which requires the courier and the shopper to cooperate with each other in time, which is bound to greatly reduce the efficiency, and the cost will inevitably skyrocket!
In the past, express companies would rather have packages burst than recruit more people, just to save operating costs. If the future of the full realization of express delivery, then the cost of the express delivery industry will inevitably be the cost of the express delivery company, the cost of the express company, will naturally charge the merchants higher, and finally the business will throw this part of the cost to the consumer, do you want to see such a situation?
Of course, the most injured is the courier brother. Because as soon as this new regulation comes out, the workload of the courier brother not only increases, but also often appears "thankless". I don't know what you think?
