The year will be near, on the first day of the express brother Land continued to return to the increasingly prosperous e-business, let express buddies in the past few years, become the focus of society, monthly income million, Alibaba listed Bell people ... Courier Buddies ushered in their own spring. 2014, the Chinese Express industry has created a prominent performance, the state post office published data show that the express services business income accumulated 204.54 billion yuan, an increase of 41.9%.

However, in this feast, a group of people do not seem to enjoy too much positive, "in the company for more than 10 years, one months to get the hand of two thousand or three thousand dollars." "Talk about their compact income, the phone that head of the Xu (alias) lamely smile, a chill unconsciously occupy the surrounding air, this is not a happy topic," said now dry express high income, back to the EMS, say no one letter. ”

In the third week of January 2015, 22 new shares were issued in tandem, and the stock market ushered in the most intensive IPO boom since the IPO was restarted, and the EMS, which had already passed, was still out of the pipeline. Since the end of 2013 to suspend the IPO, the EMS when the IPO has no clear timetable, the state-owned courier companies now outside the private courier and foreign logistics companies eyeing, there are state-owned enterprises to undergo the transformation of the pain, caught in the day is not easy.

"Who would have thought of using EMS?" ”

"EMS?" Who would have thought of using EMS, unless the ' tee up ' not to the place we will send EMS. "Chen Wei is a small shopkeeper selling clothes on Taobao, in his busy world, EMS is a car lying in the corner of the old bike, each time is forced." "EMS benefits are like some rural, remote areas such as express delivery to the place, it is generally able to, but the hair EMS to add money, than ' three-up ' to the cost of a few dollars, so sure to bargain with customers, sometimes we have to let a few dollars, some of the list will not be cost-effective to do. ”

"EMS is the fastest express in the country," a netizen posted in the post of such remarks, followed by the people booed one. "Again with EMS, I eat the keyboard," a netizen with quite ridicule means words to express their own resolute position. In many netizens you say I a language of discussion, Shun Fung Express Lipaizhongyi, elected the domestic "fastest" "best service" Courier's reputation, and "a three-way" is anxious to compete for "remove Shun Fung best choice" position.

In the discussion is intense, the first to throw the topic of the people probably to their own release of the gimmick to harvest the final satisfaction, funny said a sentence "Just joking, I have not finished, EMS is the fastest express, how possible?" "All the netizens in the post bar has issued a variety of strange Shing expression, contented dispersed."

"Less people" "service poor" "slow" "expensive" is the reporter interviewed a number of users "why not use EMS" after the answer. Ali's logistics platform "rookie" a responsible person told the "it Times" reporter, "EMS in the domestic electric express use rate row not in the top five, the first three are Private Express, Yuantong, Shentong, the tong."

But these do not seem to be entirely justified, in the above discussion, for "a three-way" of the spit point is clearly more, a variety of "door to sign" "Crack sign" "Water meter Box sign" and other "artificial intelligence" of the signature, as well as damage to the package "can only rely on character" frustration.

The price is not necessarily the most expensive EMS, 2014 "Double 11" period, "consumer report" in the seven major cities in the country to EMS, FedEx, Shun Fong, Shentong Express, such as Nine express business services carried out a sample survey. The results show that Shun Fung, EMS fastest, Shentong slowest, in charge, Shun Fung in 7 of the average charge of the highest, reached 35.21 Yuan, EMS ranked in the third for 21 yuan, rhyme up to the minimum, only 10.86 yuan.

The double pressure of universal service and market competition

"So big a state-owned enterprise, so many people, venues, equipment, how to do but private companies?" "From the tone of Xu, one can imagine his confusion."

December 20, 2013, prepared for more than 5 years, has been in the SEC's EMS officially terminated the IPO. The reason is to improve their ability to cope with market competition.

The competition in the express market has tended to be white-hot in these two years. According to the data published by the state Post Office, 2014, the postal enterprises and the National Express Service enterprise business income (excluding postal Savings Bank direct operating income) accumulated 320.33 billion yuan, an increase of 25.7%; Total business volume completed 369.61 billion yuan, an increase of 35.6%. Among them, in addition to express communications, parcels, newspapers and other business volumes are showing a downward trend. Express service is already the largest market in the whole postal business, and it is the only one that is growing rapidly.

"At present, the biggest problem of EMS is the ability to deal with express delivery, including distribution, transportation and delivering." Because the previous years have not been able to pay attention to this aspect, leading to EMS express processing capacity failed to keep up. "Takeda (alias), the North County EMS insiders for the current enterprise problem is not not to think about, and the above reasons directly led to the" user of EMS experience poor, delivery time is not stable, sometimes cast fast, sometimes cast slowly. ”

February 2013, EMS Nanjing Distribution Center officially on the line, EMS sent to the country's main city express speed has a qualitative leap, but when the express sinking to the three or four-line city, even in rural areas, delivery speed is obviously not controlled.

"EMS now do are private courier do not do business, remote areas, low value-added items." You have seen the private courier of the electric car to know, there are very few bulky. And many of the EMS are large, to drive to send, car to send pieces of parking trouble, delivery sign is also inconvenient. Takeda to EMS today's dilemma, rather helpless.

Official data from China Post Office show that at the end of 2010, EMS has more than 45,000 outlets nationwide, covering almost all regions of the country. "We have a very comprehensive coverage of the network, regardless of depth or breadth of other private enterprises can not be compared." But we have no advantage in pricing flexibility. "At present, the EMS according to the provincial price, a province, the city, the countryside is the same price standard," sometimes to the countryside to send a courier, back and forth will be one or two hours, and the price of the same as the city. "Takeda that under the double pressure of the state's demand for universal postal Service and the step-by-step of competitors, EMS sometimes dilemma, at the same time, the courier's income can not be flexible to deal with, can only rely on the number of pieces paid, and some employees do not even basic salary, these factors also directly affect the enthusiasm of the staff.

"Now we are not very motivated and have too little income," he said. "Xu is the Shanghai EMS staff, his one-month delivery in 2000 pieces, according to the calculation of remuneration, one-month income is about 4000-5000 yuan, deducted all kinds of taxes and fees, but 2000-3000 yuan, and the abundant express brother of the tens of thousands of dollars of income compared to really unattractive."

The flames are on the inside.

To make things worse, while EMS is trying to grab market share, some of the areas where they are already strong are being swallowed by other companies. Take Takeda County as an example, occupy an important proportion of the letter business, such as high-end market "has been shun Fung stole a part of", and the courier service for the electric business, met with the same challenge.

In the first half of 2013, China Post group launched the "postal package" business, the domestic first heavy minimum price of 5 yuan, the highest 14 yuan, the reverse view EMS, Economic Express first heavy 8 yuan, the Standard Express first heavy 20 yuan. Small bag in a sense is want to seize the electricity dealer express market, but for EMS is an unexpected competitor.

Postal parcel used by the delivery team is originally sent newspapers, magazines, letters of the Post Office personnel, the use of the transport network is the postal network. Although EMS as a separate subsidiary of the Postal group, has its own rapid response network, but in fact many logistics network still relies on the postal network, but EMS has its own specialized distribution team.

"Two is a cross, and sometimes perhaps the postal help with an EMS courier, sometimes EMS to help the postal small bag with pieces, and small packets of cheap, there is a real competition." According to Takeda, in order to avoid the vicious competition inside, the postal parcel is not unfolding in some areas.

Even in the EMS biggest advantage-for rural areas of distribution network, has been encountered by private courier, and even electric dealers for the "last kilometer" competition.

At the end of 2014, the Beijing-East officially opened the prelude to the distribution of logistics outlets in rural areas, in order to cooperate with local electric business enterprises, recruit "villager Agent" form in the rural development site, trying to solve the rural logistics "last kilometer" distribution problem. In 2015, Beijing-east planned to develop 100,000 village agents covering 100,000 villages in China. Alibaba said it would invest 10 billion yuan in rural power, set up 1000 county operations centers and 100,000 rural service stations. And Shun Fung's "Hey Shop" is also trying to get through the township of O2O channels.

As a member of the Universal Postal Union, EMS has been dominating the Cross-border Express, customs clearance market, Cross-border business has been a courier market a piece of "fat." Data show that 2014 international and Hong Kong, Macao and the region's express business volume accounted for 2.3% of the total, while the business income accounted for 15.4% of the total, compared to domestic express 97.7% business volume accounted for 68.3% of the income, international express business value-added extremely high. At the same time, with the establishment of the trade area, China's cross-border electricity imports and exports will increase to 6.5 trillion yuan in 2016, with an annual growth rate exceeding 30%.

Facing this piece of cheese, Shun Fung, Yuantong, Shentong and other private enterprises have launched their own international express business, overseas to set up warehouses or operations center.

"EMS only to do domestic delivery," rookie told the IT Times reporter, rookie set up in Hangzhou under the largest bonded warehouse, with EMS delivery, but rookie clearance and Overseas Express, EMS does not involve.

In the area of domestic Hai and transshipment, 360 sea Amoy related responsible to tell reporters, "EMS clearance of the increase rate is too high, the price of more than 500 yuan is the possibility of taxation is very high, at present we are the Airport Express clearance, Express is basically a ' tee up ', cheaper. However, during the Spring Festival, we will use EMS, because the Spring Festival ' tee A ' are not working. ”

2015 year of war is imminent

China Express industry for three consecutive years to maintain the growth rate of more than 50%, huge market space makes the capital compete to enter. Last September, the state liberalized the express industry restrictions on foreign investment, as of this January, Jamado (China) Transportation Co., Ltd., Kaneohe Logistics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Kerry EAS Logistics Limited, FedEx (China) Co., Ltd., U-Speed Package delivery (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. (United Parcel) 5 foreign express companies are allowed to carry out in China, in addition to the letter of Domestic express business.

International express into the domestic express enterprises will be a challenge, rising costs and competition will eliminate a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises, even some large enterprises.

Takeda told the IT Times reporter its province "is trying to improve their competitiveness, began to deal with ' cod ', ' Express to pay ' and other business, and some major customers to give certain preferential policies, such as Standard Express can hit 70 percent, to expand the market share of Express. ”

For the future of EMS, long-term observation of the logistics platform of the micro-ant industry CEO Yang that EMS should be used in the vast number of rural advantages, and continue to increase investment, or wait until the private enterprises in the rural development, there is no advantage. In cities, EMS has to have some creative play, for example, in the same city logistics, delivery time can be more accurate, more use of mobile interconnection technology, to do the opening of the platform, the vast network of its own, social resources this advantage to use, "in the internationalization of specific markets to do some innovative small products, Thus more attractive, with others to form a contrast, the industry chain do deep. ”

The year will be near, on the first day of the express brother Land continued to return to the increasingly prosperous e-business, let express buddies in the past few years, become the focus of society, monthly income million, Alibaba listed Bell people ... Courier Buddies ushered in their own spring. 2014, the Chinese Express industry has created a prominent performance, the state post office published data show that the express services business income accumulated 204.54 billion yuan, an increase of 41.9%.
