It doesn't cost money to take express delivery. Where does the economy of express station come from?

With the popularity of online shopping, the volume of express delivery has also increased linearly. However, many office workers or students don't have time to pick up the courier themselves, and the property is too lazy to look after, so the courier station was born. Express stations are also divided into automatic and manual. Although the post itself does not directly collect money for each item, there are still many other incomes.

It is free for customers to pick up the items at the courier station, but it does not mean that the courier itself is stored for free. The courier station charges the courier brother by itself. Generally speaking, each order may cost a few cents, which seems to be very small, but the daily amount adds up to a lot. For the courier brother, except the basic salary, the rest of the bonuses are divided according to the number of pieces. The birth of the courier station can greatly reduce his delivery time. Although he earns less per order, he can run more orders in extra time without losing money. Now there are some automatic post stations in many communities, and couriers have to open them themselves, so it is often found that some couriers use beehives, some use novices, and some directly tell you that I don't have an account.

In addition to the daily express commission, mailing is also a major source of income for the post office. Many people who need to send items have no contact information for express delivery, and they have no time to wait for express delivery. At this time, the post office is their best choice. Whether you choose self-service storage or put the courier into manual post, the money paid is clearly marked. But this clear price tag refers to the cooperative price of our individual customers, and each order can be several yuan cheaper, and many stations rely on this price difference for their daily income. Therefore, the artificial post station will help you send it for free, all in order to make an advertisement, expand the popularity, let you know its existence, and you will think of them when there is a demand for express delivery in the future.

Of course, the post office also charges advertising fees, whether it is posted on the wall or printed on the courier cabinet, but there is a charge. Nowadays, the display screens of many self-service machines can also be used to place digital advertisements. How can the post office not make money?
