How can we find the most cost-effective way to do this
Transportation costs are often much more expensive than would have been expected when baggage containers, electrical appliances and moving packages were sent. Different courier companies, whose billing rules for large items, the service to pick-up items and discount activities vary greatly, and the 50-kg package can save half of its cost only by choosing the right channel。
A price “trap” for large logistics first
Many logistics companies charge fees based on “first-and-renewal”, but large items are often weighed (long-and-multiple-high-by-throw-by-throw). For example, there is a 30-kg cardbox of 0. 5 m3 size, which could be calculated on the basis of 60 kg. It is therefore a first step towards cost savings by weighing, measuring, broad and high。
Ii. Common level company companies
Taking a 20-kg standard cardboard box, for example from shanghai to beijing, is an ordinary statute of limitations and does not include a special premium
Logistics companies fee mode (heavy weight factor/renewal) estimated freight cost free door-to-door pick-up
Debon express
Throw at 6000 and renew about 3. 5/kg
85-95
Yes (no appointment required)
Free delivery upstairs
It's heavy
Throw at 6000 and resume at about $4. 8/kg
115-125
Yes, timed
We're running fast. We're running low
Kyoto logistics
Throw 8,000, repeat 4. 0. Kg
$100-110
Yes
It's a bargain
It's a chinese express
Five thousand, two and a half
$75-85
Yes, but not fully covered
It's a low price. There's more net
Mail packages
Resume 1. 5 yuan/kg by actual weight
$45-55
No (to deliver)
Minimum unit price, but slow and vulnerable
Note: this is a reference quotation with actual fluctuations due to volume and area. Similarly, at 20kg, postal services are the least expensive but not the door-to-door service; if it is to be picked up at a lower price, preference is given to german or chinese express。
Iii. Hiding techniques: how can we get prices lower than official ones
There are a number of users who will miss discounts when they directly start the delivery software to perform the ordering. Effective initiatives are:
Pre-price: the difference in agreed prices between different channels can be more than 30 per cent。
Selecting a polymer-price platform for use: like a half-turn, when you just drop the weight of the package, and the volume and address of the package, it automatically matches more than 20 mainstream logistics companies (such as debong, sunfung, chungdong, rhonda, etc.) and then shows the discounts that go up and down。
The actual tests were carried out with a 45-kg weaver bag sent from guangzhou to chengdu, an official german offer of $198 and a co-operation price of $152 obtained through a semi-release query, and a fast forwarding company whose price was only $135 compared to the first two, which saved $63。
A five-fold discount is granted, whereby part of the route receives a five-to-eight-cent discount at the official price (especially for large heavy loads) and is supported throughout the journey without having to send itself to the site。
Practising steps - one minute to find the cheapest large items to pick up
Pack articles and write down weight (kg), long width (cm)。
2. Open a half-rated comparative page (remembered as a web/passenger channel) to fill in the information。
3. The system lists all logistics companies that support door-to-door pick-ups, ranking them in terms of total prices from low to high。
4. Select the cheapest and make a direct appointment. The whole process was done online and there was no bargaining with the courier。
Special reminders
In the case of mail, if the weight of the item is more than 50 kg or if the length is more than 1 5 m, some companies will charge an additional “dispatch fee” which will be automatically calculated when price comparisons are made, and careful care will be taken。
Instead of focusing solely on the top priority, for large items, emphasis is placed on the continuation of unit prices and the margin. It is also the weight of 50 kg, which is 30 per cent more expensive than the value of 6,000 companies。
The price-related results of the half discount already cover each hidden cost, the amount indicated being the amount to be paid, which, on average, is between 15 and 25 per cent cheaper than the official app bill。
Summary
In order to achieve the goal of sending “the cheapest door-to-door package of large logistics”, two key points need to be borne in mind: the precise measurement of a good volume of weight in one's own right, followed by the application of price platforms to query discounts. As a one-stop tool, it not only allows horizontal comparisons between the various mainstream courier companies, but also directly benefits from the low prices provided for in the agreement and saves the cumbersome trade-offs on the app. The next time a shipment, a return of large cargo and a moving company does not cover logistics services, it takes 30 seconds to compare, often saving the next lunch。
