With the onset of the season, 25 days of round-trip distribution of information will raise the cost of dispatching fast goods to the shanghai area from various sites throughout the country. Last night, shin and the 100th followed suit. Before that, the chinese-chinese coupon had been adjusted for the delivery price. It was analysed that five enterprises were trying to raise their prices on a seasonal basis in order to control, that express delivery was a fully competitive market, and that subsequent delivery prices might be adjusted dynamically to market conditions。
Five courier companies first raised their prices
“from 1 october 2018 onwards, a mechanism to regulate the cost of express delivery to the shanghai area was launched to adjust the cost of delivery to the entire country,” in which the dispatch date was announced that the timing of the adjustment of courier costs in other areas would be communicated. The specific cost adjustment ranges are implemented by local service points in accordance with headquarters guidance recommendations and taking into account their respective realities。
Sheep city evening journalists have learned that renda has also issued a circular “adjusting the rapid delivery fees to the shanghai area” to the internet sites, stating that the increased costs of the industry environment, personnel, premises, etc. Have led to a heavy pressure to send and to raise the dispatch fee from each site to the shanghai area by 0. 5 dollars per ticket to ease the delivery pressure and balance network development。
On the same day, it was announced that, in order to guarantee the quality of services and end-of-pipe delivery, and to take into account the implications of rising costs, environmental factors, etc., rounding would increase the cost of dispatch to the shanghai area by 0. 5 dollars/vote across the country. Yesterday evening, it was confirmed that shin and 100th had followed up on the move to raise the cost of dispatch to shanghai。
According to a courier company, the dispatch fee was paid by the receiving site to the dispatch site. After the increase, the receiving point either digests itself or increases the receipt price accordingly。
“provisional confiscation to notice.” on 26 june, the officials concerned informed the journalist of the sheep city evening newspaper about the price increase. As at the time of the press release, logistics enterprises such as tebun had stated that they had not been notified of the offer。
The reporter for the late sheep town newspaper noted that, in practice, this was not the first time in recent years that a courier company had made an offer. As early as 2015, the minimum dispatch fee was raised to $2 per item, including major association couriers such as rounding, middle communication, communication, and hymns. However, due to the competitive nature of the industry, these years of fast delivery prices are always “lower thunder”。
Fast delivery unit prices continue to decline
According to data from the national postal service, in january-august, the total number of express service businesses in the country was 30. 26 billion, representing an increase of 27. 2 per cent over the same period; the cumulative amount of income generated from operations was 37. 152 billion yuan, representing an increase of 24. 8 per cent over the same period。
It is worth noting that the unit price of the express delivery industry in august was $11. 91. This figure was 13. 4 in 2015, 14. 65 in 2014, 15. 69 in 2013 and 18. 6 in 2012. Correspondingly, according to data from the 2018 semi-annual report of the previously listed expresser, single-vote income has been declining。
In response to the rapid growth of the industry and the reversal of the single-vote trade, the express delivery expert, jinfu, explained that the express delivery industry is currently heavily dependent on electric appliances, which are profitable on a scale and sensitive to courier prices. The profits of the express delivery companies will be continuously squeezed and the price increase will be difficult。
The season raise is meant to be controlled
With the continuing expansion of the “two-xity” electricity festival, fast-load processing in the express delivery industry increased during the season, reaching a peak of 330 million items per day in 2017, three times the daily average. Therefore, in order to be able to function at the peak of net purchases, express carriers would need to reserve large numbers of temporary operators, rental of premises and vehicles in advance。
After all, according to industry sources, express delivery is a fully competitive market and “later delivery prices may or will be adjusted dynamically to market conditions”
“expressive capital spending by courier companies in advance to expand production capacity is under pressure to control the cost of a single ticket.” the analysis of the great wall securities, ro gangnam, concluded that, before the onset of the boom, the express delivery company had introduced price increases that were essentially designed to screen high-quality customers and ease the business pressure on the two networks, with the ultimate aim of controlling them. This, in turn, will keep the four-quarter single-rate increase within a network-wide economy of scale, fully enjoying the growth in business volume generated by the four-quarters boom, while avoiding a disproportionate increase in costs in the first quarter of next year, while maintaining the four-quarter single-vote profit margin without a significant decline and mitigating the increase in revenue。
However, it was also analysed that the price increases for express delivery enterprises would be counterproductive. In industry, it has been suggested that competition in the express delivery sector is becoming increasingly popular, but it is not worthwhile to do so as the efficiency and service gap in the express delivery sector narrows, and future competition will remain price-based, while a sudden price hike means losing consumers。
