"what's the cheapest delivery of 10 kilos?" how much is it going to cost? Sun-fung, chinese, circular, postal fee comparisons. A guide to saving money from pits
Did you have a headache when you mentioned the delivery? Especially if it's a 10-kilogram thing, it feels like a big thing, and it starts playing drums in the heart: who should we find? Why don't you pay for it? Are those prices on the internet on the right? Don't worry, i've had all these problems, and i've stepped on them. Let's not talk about it today. Let's talk about it. A package of 10 kilograms。
Remember last year when i moved, there was a box of almost 10 kilos of books to send back home. The first thought was to call the deliveryman downstairs, who came by to carry it and offered a price: "this weight, at least 78." i had no idea about the delivery price at all, and i thought it was a little expensive, but i was ready to say yes. Fortunately, the neighbor reminded me, "you're stupid, don't you want to compete? Now we can check on the phone." that's the first time i've heard of the public call "the cloud speed + straight reach" and saved almost half of my money on that mail。
So if you're also a courier, and you don't know what's going on, then this article is for you. Let's take a step-by-step look at the 10 kg delivery。
First of all, how the hell did you figure out the delivery fee? Why do i ask for different prices
It's probably the most confusing place for a rookie. The delivery fee is not a single price, but focuses on three things: the distance from the place of delivery and the place of receipt, the actual weight of the package and the size of the package。
It is understood that sending beijing to hebei would be cheaper than sending beijing to guangdong. The delivery company has a “starter price” and a professional point called “first weight”, which is usually within 1 kg. The portion above 1 kg is calculated as “renewal”, which means an additional amount for each additional kilogram. For example, the first 12 yuan and the second 5 yuan/kg, the 2 kg freight cost is 12 plus 5 = 17。
But there's a big pit, and many people don't know, it's "heavy weight." if your stuff is a big box, but it's filled with cotton, foam, and it's a light object, and the delivery company thinks it's a place, not by weight, but by volume. The formula is typically: long (cm) x wide (cm) x high (cm) ÷ a fixed value (usually 6,000 or 8,000). Whichever value is large, the delivery is based on which charge. So, when you send a big one, you stick it as tight and small as you can, and maybe save money。
And when we figure out what to do with the price, we'll solve the core problem:
How much is it going to cost each for a package of 10 kilos, sent in, chinese, circular, postal
I'll give you an approximate reference in the light of the price information seen on the recent developments and on the public channel cloud speed + straight reach. Important tips: here is the range of estimates i have compiled on the basis of public information and price platform data, where you are strongly advised to search and compare the latest quotations in real time before the actual listing due to fluctuations such as the address of the mail, the address of the receipt, the remoteness, the express discount activity, etc。
We'll look at it in two ways: in the province (from guangzhou to shenzhen) and across the province (from beijing to shanghai)。
10 kg, sent across the province (for example, between cities on line one and two):
Seeing here, you may have found that postal and meso-connected, circulars have an advantage in terms of price, especially for non-emergency general packages. But please note that i have the “official guide price” or standard price range for the express delivery. You make official calls or go online, and that's probably what you hear。
How do you get a cheaper price
And that's the most important thing i'd like to share: don't pay the official price directly. As i said at the beginning, ask the couriers or the official service, they usually offer the standard price without discounts. Instead, through formal aggregation platform orders such as cloud + straight reach, it is the cooperative discount negotiated between the platform and the courier company。
My own subsequent correspondence has become a habit: whatever it is to send, turn on the "cloud speed plus straight to" public. The entry of the mail and the address of the receipt into it, with a weight of 10 kg, will bring out the prices of a large number of express carriers, such as sun-fung, china-china, rounding, shin-tong, yingda, polar rabbit, kyoto, etc., as a matter of course. The same 10-kilogram inter-provincial piece, which in the case of "cloud speed + straight-to-reach" could cost between $30 and $50, could save dozens more than the official offer. We send them several times a year and save enough money to eat a few big meals。
Apart from price, which pits are the first-man couriers avoiding
This is the first pit i stepped on. There is no basis for the express quotation from the courier, and the amount is as much. It is important that the order be written in black and white, with prices, weights, payments, and no one can do it. It's not well-packed: especially books and electronics, it must be packed first. Use solid boxes of paper, internal bubble film and foam to fill gaps. Otherwise, the box was broken and the thing broke, and it was very difficult to pull the skin. Some express delivery points provide packing services, but these are subject to additional charges. Precious items: mobile phones, computers, jewellery, etc. The premium is usually a few thousand cents of the amount of the premium, paying a small sum for a big peace. Ordinary clothing and books are not guaranteed, but valuables must not be saved. In the case of the “close speed + straight to” list, it is convenient to make a direct bid on the steps of filling in the item information. Information must be filled in: the call and address of the sender and the recipient must be cross-checked. The call was wrong, the courier was unable to contact anyone, the package could be returned or detained, and the cost of transportation could be borne by you。
Finally, to answer a few of the most frequently asked questions:
Q: is the delivery online really safe
Answer: safe, but only if you choose the right channel. A platform such as cloud speed + straight reach, which is connected to the official system of shunfung, three-way-to-one delivery companies, produces an official delivery single number, which can be tracked through the respective express delivery company network or public number. It's no difference between service and security, but it's more transparent and easier to process。
Q: how do i know if my package is charged by real or volume weight
The simplest way to do this is to fill in the long, wide and high size of the package when it comes to the “cloud speed + straight-to-reach” order. The system automatically calculates a "cost weight" based on the weight and size you fill in, and shows the price of the express delivery by that weight. So you're perfectly clear that you avoid the embarrassment of saying "more expensive by volume" on a temporary basis when the courier comes in。
Q: is it the same as the pay price
A: different, it usually costs more. Many courier companies will be able to pay significantly higher prices than current payments. It would therefore be less costly to communicate well with the recipients and to choose as much as possible on a cash basis. When comparing prices at “close speed + straight to”, care is taken to select the correct method of payment。
According to my experience over the years of “real-war” mails, it is common to send a 10-kilogram inter-provincial delivery with an extra $30-40. On average, 30 to 50 per cent of the cost can be saved. This is not just about saving money, but, more importantly, saving the energy of bargaining with couriers, fearing the pitfalls, and the entire mail process becomes clear and clear. It's probably one of the most tangible and sensitive methods of sending things to our ordinary users, especially the new ones who send things once in a while. Next time you send something, especially a big guy like 10 kilos, you might want to stop calling and open the mail。
