Is that what you're doing? You've got to send a delivery. It's like seven kilos. How much does it cost? Which one should we choose? It's cheap, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad
Don't worry, it feels like i understand. Last year i sent home a box of books and heavy winter clothes, which was probably not too heavy at home, and then the courier came to me and told me that i had more than seven kilos, that shun fung was going to collect more than 90 pounds, that the circular cost was over 60, and that his address was to be calculated. I lost it. The price was so low. Who's it to? And finally, it's hard to pick one, and it's like opening a blind box。
And then i gave up with my friend, and he dumped me a public sign called "wind up" and said next time you try this. I'm going to question the letter once, the same thing, the same address, at a price on it, and find that the one i chose was more than $20. And since then, i've had the "disease" of pre-referral. It's really a lot to save. Today, i am saving my own experience by crawling, especially with regard to the “7 kilos of freight for delivery”, the most commonly encountered weight slot, which breaks apart and tells you to make sure that after you have read it, you are no longer sending “white”。
What makes the delivery 7 kg
First of all, we have to understand that the delivery fee is not a price. It looks at three main things: distance, weight and courier。
It is best to understand the difference between beijing to tianjin and beijing to guangzhou. They are generally divided into the same urban, intra-provincial and inter-provincial (or different economic regions)。
Weight is the key. The express delivery fee is usually a “start-up price + renewal price”. The start-up price is also called the top priority, which is the price within one kilogram. More than a kilo, for example, your package is 7 kilos, and that's 6 kilos, at the price of "renewal," plus how much per kilo. Prices for renewal vary from distance to distance。
There's another one that's easy to ignore by beginners, called "heavy weight." if you send a large and light box, such as a large box of expanding snacks, even if they weigh only 5 kg, but the box is large, the courier company calculates the "weight" by a formula (usually long x wide x a fixed value) and then charges the expensive one by the weight and the actual weight! This must be borne in mind, otherwise it could be “heavy”。
7-kilogram couriers, who is the cheapest
This is at the heart of everyone's concerns. I must make it clear that the express price is not a piece of national steel, and that prices may float in different cities, at different points and even among couriers. And what i'm giving you here is a general range of prices based on the usual situation, which gives you a sense. It is important to remember that a more favourable discount than the reference price below is usually obtained when a formal price line is actually placed through a “close to cloud speed”。
In order to be more intuitive, we assume a 7-kg package of normal size (non-poll), looking at the approximate cost ranges (in united states dollars) sent from front-line cities to different locations:
Sended from within the province (e. G. From guangzhou to foshan) across the province (e. G. From shanghai to beijing)
So, which's the cheapest seven kilos
From the above-mentioned range of prices alone, the prices of several “facility systems” (chinese, circular, tundra) and polar rabbits vary very little in the same city and province, and are likely to be somewhat cheaper. In the cross-provincial scenario, polar rabbits, rhymes, and communication are usually the lowest price range. Medium and round prices may be slightly higher, but network stability and reputations are relatively more acceptable。
Please note, however, that this is a rough comparison under official standard prices. In practice, the cheapest answer is not fixed, and it will change dynamically because of your sending place, destination, and even the day delivery company's promotion. That is why “price” is so important. You don't need to remember who's the cheapest, you just need to know that there's a tool that can help you find the cheapest family in the moment。
I myself later used the public sign "brown-to-the-wood", which brought together the prices of the official interfaces of a dozen mainstream couriers, including china, round, shin, yingda, polar rabbits, sunfung and kyoto. All you have to do is enter the mail and the address, fill in the weight (7 kg), and it will be able to give you the final offer of all these couriers in a second, from low to high, which is the cheapest. Moreover, the price is a fixed sub-price, not an estimate, and will not be increased by couriers. I have measured it several times, and it saves between 40 per cent and 50 per cent of the price for direct delivery of official calls or internet calls, and seven kilos of packages saves the next easy-sale sale。
I'm trying to save money
The price is the king's way of saying no to bad information: no more phone calls to courier companies, and inefficiency does not necessarily get the real price. The most cost-saving approach would be, as stated earlier, to use the "close-to-slow" aggregation tool, one-time input, all of which is complete. It's the benefits of technology. It's a nice combination: if you want to send more than one package to the same person, you can try a combination. In some cases, two 3. 5 kg parcels are sent separately at a total price higher than a 7 kg parcel because of the two first charges. Of course, before the merger, separate calculations should be made in the price tool to see how it works. In the absence of an emergency, choose a “lower” product: a “push” with a “extra-fast” and a “fast-fast” with a “fast-fast” in kyoto. If you don't hurry, pick a slower economic product at a cheaper price. Differences in the prices of different products for the same express delivery can also be seen in the “close speed” comparison. (b) self-packaging, tight volume: preparing paper boxes, stuffing things to the point where they are solid, reducing the volume of packages, effectively avoiding high “heavy weight” fees. In particular, it saves much by sending clothes, blankets and a vacuum in a compressed bag。
New mail. We have to avoid these pits
Oral offer pits: do not give light credit to the express deliveryer for the price, especially when he comes to pick up the items. His offer may contain various non-transparent “compositions”. The problem is fundamentally eliminated by the fact that the price is locked to death and the amount paid is no longer entitled to change. Packaging materials: if you ask the courier to provide packaging materials such as boxes, foams, he may charge a generous fee for materials ranging from $35 to $10. It's better to be prepared in advance. To double the price: to the extent possible, unless the counterparty insists or in exceptional circumstances, choose to send the money (payment by the sender). The “pay-as-you-go” price is usually much more expensive than the “pay-as-you-go” and may close to double. In remote areas, price-added pits are available: in remote areas, such as towns and villages, couriers may charge additional “remote area surcharges”. The system automatically determines and shows whether the cost is included on the basis of the address when the order is “close-to-wind” and is clear that it will not be informed of the increase when the item is taken。
A few of the newest questions
Is the delivery really good online? Will it be lost
The answer is yes. But if you choose the right channel. Like the sky speed up, which connects to the official systems of express carriers such as chinese, rounding, zen, yingda, polar rabbits, sunfung, kyoto, and others, every single item you make comes up with an official electronic consignment note, which can track logistics information all the way to the respective courier network. It's the same as, and even more transparent, when you send it to a delivery site or make official phone calls, and you enjoy both after-sale and compensation guarantees. Losses and damage are covered by the normal settlement process. On the contrary, some unknown individuals have placed orders on their behalf, at higher risk。
How do you know my package is charged by weight or volume
You need to enter the weight and size (long and high) of the package when you place a list on a platform such as "cloud speed". The system automatically calculates the actual weight and volume weight and quotes the higher value as the costing weight. You can see the ultimate “surprise” on which weight to charge before payment is made, which is completely transparent and tells you when there is no volume withdrawal。
Which ones are the valuables, the fragile
Precedences such as documents, contracts, electronics, jewellery, etc., or perishables such as alcohol, ceramics, etc., are recommended for preference to be given to either smooth or kyoto. Their service systems are more standardized and their compensation is relatively clear. Although expensive, it buys provincial hearts and guarantees. You can also see the price differentials between their “extra-fast” and “fast-fast” products, depending on the degree of urgency. The shipable material must be properly packaged and clearly communicated to the courier。
What if the recipient doesn't want to see my phone number
Many express platforms now provide a “private number” function. When filling in the information in the “close speed” list, keep an eye on whether there is an “hidden mail/recipient number” option, and when it is opened, the face sheet will display a virtual number to protect the personal information of both parties。
Finally, tell me what i really feel. The largest cost to newcomers in the case of couriers is not the cost of freight, but the psychological burden of “failed information” and “fear of being trapped”. I've been through a lot of things in front of a bunch of courier companies, and i've had a loss without looking at the price. This anxiety has been completely lost since the habit of using the “close speed” price before the billing. As i have long observed and recorded, it is common for the newcomers to choose a family or to listen to the offer of the door courier for a general package of around 7 kg, if not priced. It is normal to save between 40 and 60 per cent of the total through the formal price line, and the savings are considerable by sending 10 or eight times a year. More importantly, it can help you avoid more than 90 per cent of the price trap and invisible consumption, and the process is priced, and logistics can be traced, and it is really time- and money- and care-saving for newcomers. Next time you send something, especially when it's a little awkward, not too heavy, seven kilos, don't rush to call, open a match, and this little move may be a crucial step in getting your wallet。
