China Securities News reporter recently found that many logistics Express company during the Spring Festival to improve the tariff, resulting in a considerable number of electrical companies hang out "closing" notices. In the face of the increase of net purchase volume, the shortage of warehouse stock and the high cost of logistics, it is an effective way to promote the transformation and upgrade of manufacturing and logistics industry by developing modern logistics and constructing the economic mode of logistics platform.

The electric dealer closes up early

Shun Fung Express Web site, in February 9-15th, Shun Fung Express domestic express each single increase of 10 yuan handling fees, the mainland to Hong Kong express each single increase of 15 yuan fee, and across the province today to such services in a specific period of time suspended. Yuantong Express in the Spring Festival each single express price is at least 3 times times higher than usual.

The increase in courier prices led to a number of electric dealers in the Spring Festival early stop business. "Our store's express template is based on the usual charges, some express during the Chinese New Year is also open, but the cost will increase, some even rose 3 to 5 times times." "We certainly can't ship at this price, or we'll have to put up our own money," said an online shop owner. ”

In the day cat, Taobao and other electric platform, many stores posted "Spring Festival closing" notices.

Insiders said that the electricity business, on the one hand, can improve the delivery of service quality, so that they can be justified to invest in resources to develop express business; On the other hand, express business can be an independent business operation. However, if the electric business enterprise invests a lot of resources to establish the logistics system and only uses it for its own product distribution, the business volume unavoidably exists the difference between the peak and the trough period, resulting in the resource being idle, which is unfavorable to reduce the logistics cost. When the express business to obtain full business qualification and open operation, before the electric dealer will be how to compete with the traditional express enterprise challenges.

More importantly, the company's pick-up every day is increasing, now the warehouse is not fit, can only be temporarily placed in residential homes, take turns guarding. ”

Industry insiders said, because many express companies to join contracting, self-financing business, a warehouse, a few people, several mobile phones and several electric tricycles on the opening, express completely rely on manual sorting, distribution using "tactics", belong to the typical low-end labor-intensive industries. With the development of E-commerce, especially the development of network shopping, express logistics business increased dramatically, at the same time the increase in human costs, this labor-intensive logistics express enterprises shuffle and optimize the upgrade is imperative.

China Express Logistics Consulting network analyst Xu said that Europe and the United States in the Christmas and Thanksgiving, the logistics industry Express industry will not appear "capacity" tension. The reason is that more than 95% of the practitioners are locals, and the second is to set the price of the holiday factors, three is to reserve enough retirees and students as emergency personnel resources. "Therefore, China's express industry should increase the proportion of localization personnel, to join the mode of transformation to Self-and-oriented." Express enterprises should establish a sound service standards and operating standards as soon as possible, strengthen the implementation of standards. The Government should also speed up the pace of law revision, establish clear compensation standards, and push enterprises to improve the quality of service. ”
