At present, most domestic express delivery companies, including SF Express and Three Links and One Express, have managers who have jumped from EMS. After all, EMS is still a state-owned enterprise, and it is very popular with fresh college students when enrolling students. Every year, they recruit students from many key universities. Moreover, there are many returnees in EMS, including some who are rich at home, but want their children to have a stable job and send them here. Therefore, EMS will transport a large number of talents for the domestic logistics industry every year. 02. Advantages of outlets. Therefore, in the past few years, SF Express was still a three-way service. After receiving the express mail, it was delivered by the Pearl River Delta in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and remote loss-making locations such as Tibet in Xinjiang were delivered to EMS. From a competitive point of view, EMS should not have collected these goods at that time to help competitors grow, which would also lead to losses. But even so, if there are the most outlets now, especially in the rural market, it is still EMS. After all, EMS is a state-owned enterprise and belongs to the postal group company. The big leader of EMS may be transferred to postal service, or become the leader of group companies, or even the leader of postal administration. Therefore, when the country has any new pilot policies and support policies for the logistics industry, EMS will be the first choice. The so-called joint advantage is that it belongs to the postal group company and has such a complicated relationship with the postal service. Of course, it has also suffered some unfavorable factors. For example, people may complain about the service provided by ordinary mail, but they are scolded together with EMS.

If the postal service is slow, it must be someone who has never used it in recent years. The concept still stays in previous years. Now postal service can compete with other express delivery. Tell me about your own experience. There was a Shentong Express the other day. Because I left my mother's phone number at home, I didn't hear it when I called her. Later, when I saw the number of 177, I didn't dare to call back. The courier left it with the doorman without even sending a message. Three days later, I went home and asked my mother about the express delivery. My mom said no one sent it. I saw the logistics and actually signed for it. I immediately ran to the doorman and saw my courier lying quietly under the corner of the table. Fortunately, the quality of our community is high and the express delivery is not lost. I remember that no one answered the courier. He called at least twice, and then the handling method was to take it back and deliver it the next day, or at least send a message saying that the courier was left at the doorman's place. I don't know about Shentong in other places, but we are speechless anyway!

Many years ago, I received a courier from the central province. A businessman and a woman sent the tax invoice to Xinjiang. I forgot the specific location, but I didn't receive it at home, but the internal inquiry showed that it had been delivered properly. The customer cried and said that if it could not be solved, it would go bankrupt! Finally, after coordination, Xinjiang local delivery bureau, public security bureau, national tax and local tax jointly issued a certificate. Our unit issued a certificate to invoice Xi 'an, and Unit A made a new invoice to ensure the interests of customers. ...............................................................................................................

I'm from Jiangsu, and it's very expensive to send it to areas outside Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui by other express delivery. Send one yuan a kilogram by post, and three yuan and five yuan by northwest, which is much more expensive than the 46 8 yuan in the central area. I'm not slow to use parcel post. I bought something from Guangdong and sent it to Jiangsu by Shentong. We haven't arrived in our county for three days, but we arrived in Lianyungang, Liaoning, Jilin and other places in two days, so postal parcels are the first choice for heavy delivery. If there is cheap local logistics, you can also choose, generally 56 cents a kilogram. Below is the price list of Taobao Express of our local post Shentong Tong Yuan.

5. Wonderful answer:

Many people don't like postal express delivery, but it's still a bit unfair. After all, postal service is the efficiency of state-owned enterprises and cannot be compared with private express delivery. But don't forget, postal service is not only a profit-making state-owned enterprise, but also undertakes the universal service of the country. There may be no concept of how much universal service costs. Let me give you an example. Even if there are many postal outlets in many small villages in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the outlets may only be a salesperson and a few couriers. The salesperson may send and receive one or two express mails on average a day. A few registered letters of ordinary mail, even if all these things are converted into cash and paid for utilities, are not enough, but the country requires postal outlets, and it is conceivable how high the postal cost is in a slightly remote place. In the past, there was a joke that postal services let many private couriers undertake the universal service and the business in the western inland. As a result, none of them said anything, because all private couriers chose to make money, so those who have been scolding postal services are because you are in a developed place or send things to a developed place. If private couriers can't remember the place, they may think postal services are good. And because it is a state-owned enterprise, the state also requires state-owned enterprises to recruit some fresh graduates every year to improve the employment rate. Private enterprises ignore these, which are the invisible costs and contributions of state-owned enterprises. There are too many sprays on the internet now, just looking at the surface.
