Is express delivery express or logistics?

Express delivery and logistics both transport goods from one place to another, but they are not the same.

The difference between logistics and express delivery

1. General logistics is suitable for transporting large goods, and express delivery is more suitable for small goods.

2. Express business mainly serves individuals, while logistics generally serves enterprises. For example, online shopping, we generally use express delivery, if it is an enterprise that needs to transport a large number of goods at one time, then logistics is needed.

3. Comparatively speaking, express delivery costs are more expensive and logistics costs are cheaper. This is determined by two different service contents. If a box of mineral water is delivered by express, it is obvious that the cost of express delivery alone is almost the same as the cost.

4. Logistics is charged by volume, and express delivery is generally charged by weight.

5. Express delivery is generally door-to-door, and logistics is generally not delivered directly to the door. They usually deliver the goods to their destination, and then the customers come to pick them up.

Generally speaking, the express delivery time is faster, and the goods delivered by logistics are slower. Because express delivery is networked nationwide, as long as the goods are received, they will be sent according to the established process, while logistics generally needs to wait until the arrival reaches a certain amount before starting delivery.

7. Every express delivery has a courier number. You can check the current delivery status of goods online according to the express delivery number, while logistics does not have the express delivery number, and of course it cannot be checked online.

8. Large express delivery companies have many service outlets all over the country. Every province, every city, every county and even every township has its own company outlets, while logistics companies don't have that many outlets. They usually only set up outlets in relatively large areas.
