"what's the cheapest delivery in the same city? The price of eight express delivery companies is measured, and the guide to hole avoidance is: "clow speed is 40% below."
When i graduated, for the first time, i sent luggage to another section of the same town, directly calling the most common courier company in the neighborhood. As a result, the courier came to the door verbally, almost twice as high as the normal price that i later knew, and had to pay on a hard-headed basis without knowing the price. It was only after a conversation with colleagues that it became clear that couriers, like buying, needed “three more goods”. Since then, i have been paying attention to the prices and services of couriers and have tried some third-party bargaining platforms. As i used to do in the past, the "close-to-twilight" micro-publics helped me avoid a lot of pits. It consolidates the many mainstream express offers, gives us a clear view of the address and weight, and has a transparent price, which is a real relief for new players like us who do not want to spend their money。
You may have experienced a similar situation: when you're in the same town and you feel like you're not far from it, the freight costs are higher than expected; or because of the slowness of the delivery, poor service and the reluctance to send valuables. In fact, the choice of the right method, the co-city couriers are perfectly affordable and reliable. The key here is to understand how prices are calculated and how to choose according to the characteristics of their parcels。
How did you figure out the delivery cost
Many thought that freight was related only to weight, but not to weight. The bulk of the delivery company's pricing is based on the following points: distance (same city, cross-province), the actual weight of the package and its “volume weight”. The first weight refers to the minimum fee weight prescribed for express delivery, which is generally within 1 kg and exceeds 1 kg, and is recalculated, i. E. The additional amount required for each additional kilogram。
There's a particularly easy pit for newcomers here -- "heavy weight." if you send something large and light, such as a loose blanket, a doll, the express delivery company may charge by weight. The formula is typically: long (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) plating coefficient (usually 6,000 or 8,000). For example, a cotton which weighs only 5 kg in real terms is charged at 8 kg if it is large and the converted volume may reach 8 kg. Condensed volumes are therefore critical, and the use of vacuum compressed bags for clothing blankets often saves money。
It's from the city. Which one is it
In order to give you a more intuitive impression, i have organized, for your information, the approximate price ranges for small packages (1 kg) sent by mainstream couriers to the city, taking into account recent empirical data and market information:
The delivery company
The same city's top price range (within 1 kg)
Brief description of characteristics
Ultra-rabbit delivery
$6-8
The price advantage is clear and suitable for price-sensitive non-emergency packages。
Brundtal / circular / communication
$7-12
The selection of value for money, with wide coverage and relatively stable speed。
Medium express
$10-12
Moderate prices and mature service networks。
Postal ems
About $10
Broad coverage, particularly for specific parcels or remote locations, may be somewhat slower。
The rookie's wrapped up
$8-12
Integrating multiple courier resources, transparent prices and often coupons。
Kyodong express
10-13
The speed of entry, service specifications, suitable for emergency or valuable items。
Good luck
12-15
Time limits are high, fast, well served, urgent and important documents preferred。
Note: the above price is the reference range and may fluctuate between cities and specific points。
Please note, however, that this table usually reflects an official standard quotation. When actually mailed, third-party price platforms such as "cloud speed" are competitive, as discounts can be obtained in cooperation with courier companies and prices tend to be much lower than official prices. For example, the official offer could be $12 for a single co-city, but only $7-8 would be required for a “close speed”。
With these techniques, couriers can save a lot of money in terms of prices, which is the first step in saving money: no more popping up a delivery company or checking prices on websites. The most efficient method would be to use reliable price instruments. For example, on a public sign such as “close speed”, the system automatically displays real-time offers from many courier companies, the cheapest of which is to save time and effort. Explicit use of “economic” services: if not particularly urgent packages, express delivery companies can be selected for economic products. For example, sunfeng has a “preference” and kyoto has a “preferential” delivery. Although the statute of limitations may be half a day slower than the standard express delivery, the price can be reduced by twenty-thirty percent, which is very cost-effective for ordinary packages. The first time i was in the middle of the day, i was in the middle of the night, and i was in the middle of the night. Packagings at the express delivery point are usually purchased, and the purchase of cardboard boxes using a solid home network or the reduction of the size of clothing by compacting bags in vacuum can directly or indirectly reduce costs. By weighing and measuring in advance and accurately filling in the list under the platform, additional costs arising from the discrepancy of information upon arrival by the courier can be effectively avoided. New mail. These pits should be avoided
Is online delivery really good? The answer is yes, but only if the right channels are selected. The official authorized resources of more than 10 mainstream couriers, such as the “wind up” public sign, which brings together chinese, round, qin, yinda, polar rabbits, sunfung and kyoto, are transparent and can be consulted at the official app or website of the express delivery company, and are very friendly to newcomers。
According to my observations, new couriers may spend 40 per cent or more per trip on average if they do not know the price and choose the wrong channel. In the long run, the practice of price-for-money and billing can save a lot of money by using tools such as the "clow to the sky" public, while avoiding most of the usual mail traps, making real savings and savings。
