Similarly, the adjustment of the courier fee is also the Yunda shares. Yunda also issued a notice to the various outlets to adjust the express delivery fee to the Shanghai area, and raise the express delivery fee of each outlet to the Shanghai area by 0.5 yuan/ticket.
The so-called 'delivery fee' is not the cost that the consumer wants to deliver the courier, but the franchise network of the franchise courier company, and the settlement fee when sending the cross-regional express mail to each other, that is, the sending outlet should pay the delivery The cost of the outlet.
According to industry insiders, in fact, the delivery fees in these years have been in the upward trend. The increase in delivery fees is mainly due to the imbalance of regional development. The origins are mainly concentrated in the developed cities in the east, and the outlets in some less developed regions are basically only dispatched. business.
In fact, this is not the first time that Zhongtong Express has adjusted the express price before the arrival of 'Double 11'. In early October 2017, Zhongtong Express issued a notice to the customer to adjust the price. This is not the first time for the express delivery company. 11' eve adjustment.

The data shows that on the day of 'Double 11' in 2017, the volume of express logistics orders generated by major e-commerce companies reached 850 million. As of August this year, the volume of China's express delivery has exceeded 30 billion. According to relevant forecasts, this year's double 11 express delivery The amount of parcels will be the highest point in the past 10 years. Due to the huge base, even a small price increase will have a significant impact on the performance of express delivery companies.
Then, after this transfer fee is raised, will this part of the increase will be passed on to consumers?
According to the reporter's understanding, the price adjustment of the delivery fee does not mean that the terminal courier fee will be raised in all regions, but will be determined according to the affordability and competition status of each participating network. Take Zhongtong as an example, one is close to Zhongtong. The person told the reporter that the price adjustment is only for the whole country to send Shanghai. The specific number of outlets will be adjusted according to their actual situation. Some profitable outlets may not be adjusted.
In fact, in recent years, in addition to SF Express, the delivery fees of the headquarters of various express delivery companies are increasing every year, but the actual courier fees paid by consumers are not rising and falling. The latest express industry operation data released by the State Post Bureau shows In August, the unit price of the industry was 11.91 yuan.

According to the statistics of the State Post Bureau, including SF, 'three links and one', there are more than 8,000 express delivery companies in China. The homogenization of e-commerce express products, rising labor costs, rising prices of raw materials such as paper, etc. It has become a common problem for express delivery companies. However, although the cost continues to increase, the price adjustment of express delivery is not an easy task. In the past few years, in order to compete for market share, the price war of domestic express delivery companies has intensified, especially in the case of 'double 11' , 'Double 12' and other e-commerce promotions. Some analysts pointed out that the express industry is close to a completely competitive market, and internal costs are rising, which does not necessarily mean that 'wool' is on the 'handcuffs'. Most of the increase in delivery fees will be Express company internal digestion.
