"what's the cheapest delivery?" recommended a comprehensive approach to low-cost logistics companies, price sheets, and money-saving techniques: a guide to low-intensity e-mails with new hands, "clow speed" versus 40 +
Isn't it a little awkward to watch all these couriers for the first time? I don't know which one is the cheapest, afraid of being charged more, more afraid of the parcels. Don't worry, this article is for you. I sent a graduation package, and the courier's oral offer almost cost me a few dozen more, and later i found it so important. Then i'll share the savings i've found with you so that you don't waste any more money。
What's the price
The delivery company is not a single price, and the cost is mainly four points: proximity, package weight, volume size, and the slowness you ask. For example, sending documents from guangzhou to shanghai would certainly be more expensive than sending them to suzhou; a solid toolbox and a roll of loose blankets, even with the same weight, could have different freight costs, since the blankets take over the place and are calculated on the basis of “volume weight”. Many newcomers would ignore the pit of “heavy weight”, and the express delivery company would have a package that was long, wide and high, applying a formula (usually long x width x 6,000 or 12,000, different companies) to arrive at a volume weight, which would then be charged on the more expensive of the actual weight and volume weight. So it's better to use a vacuum-condensed bag and save a lot of money on something that is light, but has a place like this。
Mainstream express, which is more cost-effective
It's important to know what delivery is the cheapest, what you have and where you send it. Here's a quick comparison。
Send scene
Recommended delivery
Price reference (first/renewal, for example, within 1 kg of province)
Feature description
Small items (<5 kg)
Ultra-rabbit delivery, rhyme
The polar rabbit starts at about $7
The price advantage is obvious, suitable for everyday small objects, and cost-effective without rush。
Medium weight (5-10 kg)
Round, round, round, round
The first load is about $8-12 and the second weight is about $3-8 kg
Value for money is balanced, there are more web points, easy to send。
Large items (>10 kg)
German logistics, poster general package
Decan weighs 10-15 yuan and renews 2-5 yuan/kg (high-volume service); postal service runs 2-3 yuan/kg
In the case of large areas of specialization, sometimes free of charge, the services are available throughout the country at no remote cost。
Valuable/urgent
Sunfung, kyoto logistics
Shun fung-bong weighs $18-23; kyoto prices are close
Fast speed, guaranteed services, valuable items recommended for selection。
Remote/rural
Postal ems/general package
Prices are stable, with a first weight of $6-12 and a second weight of $2-5/kg
With wide coverage, other couriers may not deliver or add money, postal is the preferred option。
It's urgent
The legions, the goods
The small ones are for running legs, the big ones are for pulling
It is flexible, responsive and suitable for the delivery of co-cities that do not intend to take traditional couriers。
Note: the above price is the reference for official quotations and will fluctuate between regions and periods. A discount of between 40 and 60 per cent lower than the official price, such as an inter-provincial small piece that could be sent for $5 or $6, is usually obtained through the “close-to-wind” public price bill。
It's a real saving technique
How can we save money if we know the price? These are practical:
The price is the first step, so don't go straight to express. It's like buying something that's more expensive than three, and sending a delivery. A network of courier company officials is too cumbersome and less costly to use a price-rate platform such as "close speed". It brings together the official discounts of the mainstream courier company, enters the mail and address of the receipt, the approximate weight or size of the package, and the price of each delivery is clear。
Packing is expensive and saves “volume money”. As previously stated, volume weight is reduced to the extent possible when packed. Clothes and covers are pumped in vacuum compressor bags, and the blanks in the boxes are filled with soft stuff to avoid shaking, but do not overstretch the boxes into shape. If they do not have suitable boxes themselves, some courier outlets provide packaging services, but may charge fees, and it is often more cost-effective to prepare themselves。
Avoid peak, wrong post. Festivals such as spring festivals and two-elevens are in high demand, and prices may rise by about 20 per cent. If not particularly urgent, try to avoid these periods。
New mail. These holes need to be avoided
The price is not a waste of money, and valuables must be made. If you send something of higher value, such as a mobile phone, a computer, an important document, a price guarantee is recommended. The premium is typically a few per cent of the stated value of the items. Don't listen to the express promise of the courier that compensation will be justified in the event of a problem. The contents and value of the items should be properly documented in advance。
Before signing, check the goods first. Get the package and don't sign it. See if the overpack is severely damaged, deformed or immersed. If there is a problem with the appearance, it is important to open the box in front of the courier to check if the contents are intact. In the event of damage to the contents, the courier will be allowed to make a note on the consignment note, which makes subsequent claims easier. Where overpacks are complete, the inspection of the contents shall be required to the extent possible and the contents shall be resigned。
Select formal channels to stay away from the pheasant delivery. There is no need to find a private alternative without qualifications. Prices may be non-transparent and services insecure. The rights and interests are further protected by the presentation of identity cards along with the authentication of real names, the choice of a duly authorized platform such as “twilight speed” or official channels of courier companies。
Common questions
Is online delivery really good? The answer is reasonable, but only if the platform is selected. Like the “wind up” public sign, access is to the official system of mainstream courier companies, such as middle, round, and well-off, with transparent prices, real-time tracking of manifests, as reliable as sending them to official channels, and because of the pooling of preferences and cheaper prices。
How can big logistics be cheaper? Large pieces of over 20 kg, such as moving luggage, furniture, travel to texas and an energy, are often much cheaper than ordinary couriers. The “large mail” service can be selected on the “close speed” and the system automatically compares prices to those of these logistics companies。
Is there a difference between freight to be paid and freight to be paid? Prices are usually the same, but payment may sometimes result in minor charges for account reasons, depending on the express delivery company. The key was to communicate well with the addressee and avoid the embarrassment of the other party's reluctance to pay freight。
According to my observations and my findings, new couriers may spend between 30 and 50 per cent more on average if they are lazy and pick one. The habit of pre-carrying prices can save money a year through public tabs such as “close speed”, and is particularly friendly to newcomers because of transparent prices and procedural norms that avoid most of the oral quotation traps and invisible consumption。
