Private Courier Grab food, "four" focus on business-to-business

By consumers, domestic express favor of the "sea Amoy", but failed to dominate the international express market has long been the "big four" to attract. Although domestic consumers for EMS and other international business complaints, spit trough constantly, but with speed, security advantages of the "four" in the positioning, policy, price and other factors did not appear in the "Sea Amoy" army.

High price erase "fast" advantage

To dominate the international express delivery market FedEx, DHL, UPS, TNT "Four International Express" in the domestic "sea Amoy" market is hot but disappeared. In the industry, the positioning of high-end professional "four" did not "Amoy" the market to make adequate response, high prices become a key factor in favour of consumers.

Recently, consumers of EMS international centralized complaints, the Cross-border Express delivery business to the forefront. Constantly have the consumer question: "High efficiency express pieces of the ' four '" Why in the ' Sea Amoy ' market is missing. ”

In the industry's view, high prices become an obstacle to the "sea Amoy" consumers use the "four" threshold. Beijing Commercial News reporter found that 1KG goods from New York to Beijing for example, the customs declaration price of 1000 yuan, the box for UPS small Express Box (33x28x5cm), UPS (UPS CSM Expedited) Freight is 643.5 yuan, under the same conditions if the box is a large box (46x33x8cm), freight up to 1053.6 yuan. If you choose UPS CSM Saver Business, freight is more expensive.

In China Express Consulting Network chief Consultant Xu View, consumers choose "Sea Amoy" is the main value in the same quality of goods in the case of cheaper, but high freight has made "four" in the "sea Amoy" business loss of advantage.

It is understood that the "four" and EMS and domestic private courier different, the main use of special plane transport, and therefore higher costs. Other Express enterprises to use the sea, passenger aircraft abdominal warehouse bulk LCL and other modes. In addition, the "four" adopted the active declaration of the Commercial Customs Declaration model, tariffs also need consumer commitment.

and "Four" different, domestic private courier companies in recent years began to exert "sea Amoy" market. Including "Four", the current international express delivery market is divided into four kinds of models.

The first is China post, mainly including EMS and postal packet two modes. Since China Post is a member of the Universal Postal Union, it can make postal service with almost all countries in the world, thus becoming the largest international express delivery mode. At the same time, China Post has an advantage in terms of price, postal parcel is almost the cheapest of all cross-border operations.

In addition, because China Post belongs to the state-owned enterprises, it also has many conveniences in customs clearance. But also because of the nature of state-owned enterprises and a large number of factors, the service and timeliness of China's postal services are also criticized by the industry, Europe and the United States generally need 20 days to 1 months.

Second, there are small transit companies to provide cross-border services, mostly in the shipping country free zone to establish warehouses, set up a group of goods after the centralized delivery, to China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other land through a variety of ways, or even grey way to enter. Although the method is low priced, there is a certain risk.

The other is the domestic private courier companies have recently begun to provide transit or direct mail business. Shun Fung, "a three-way" and other private express enterprises and Europe and the United States and other local express cooperation or local positions to provide services. The model price can generally be accepted by the market, Europe and the United States in 10-12 days of limitation.

A small number of consumers will also choose the "Big Four" sea Amoy. "Four" to the special plane direct mail to the delivery of goods to the domestic, coupled with the "four" general use of proprietary customs clearance channels, the United States and Europe the fastest time to up to 3 days.

The "Big Four" focus on business-to-business

The rise of domestic electricity business has let the world see the domestic consumption capacity. In the industry's view, with the "sea Amoy" the further expansion of the market, international express market competition intensified.

Since September 2013 Shun Fung first layout of the U.S. transit market, domestic private express companies have accelerated overseas expansion. As of the beginning of this month, "China Tong International" official online, domestic express seven giants are dabbling in the "sea Amoy." It is understood that the seven Giants express business pricing and timeliness are between the "four" and postal packets between.

Some analysts said that if the "four" for the "sea Amoy" market to launch a corresponding product, the domestic express market will produce huge lethality. Recently, including the federal "four" express companies are revealed to the "sea Amoy" strong interest in the market. In the industry, "four" in the transport capacity, professional and technical, international network, customs clearance and other aspects of domestic private express can not be compared to the advantages.

In Xu's view, the "Big four" in this market will remain cautious attitude. "Four" has entered China for a long, with the gradual release of policy, not a large range of domestic express business. Xu said that the domestic express market price war is fierce, for the "Sea Amoy" market is the same. "Four" more attention to business-to-business and other high value-added international express market.
