China Post Package Price Increase Across The Border Electricity Supplier "Alexander"

Act as

Strong logistics support of China Post packet, because of its low price and wide coverage, welcomed by sellers.

However, while cross-border electricity providers are gradually entering the peak season, many domestic postal packages in China claim to increase their overall prices.

One stone caused a thousand waves. Not only the freight forwarders were busy dealing with the backlog of goods on hand, but also the sellers were under pressure because of the sudden increase in the cost of logistics.

Phenomenon: full price increase in China Post package

In August 13th, a message suddenly broke out in a circle of friends, a well-known logistics company suspended the mail packet delivery business.

The logistics company has a high reputation in the field of cross-border electricity, and suddenly suspended business without warning. Many people speculate whether the company was internally rectified because of poor management.

However, the salesman of the logistics company told reporters at the time that the fact was not what you expected, mainly because the company received a notice from the post office the other day and asked for the increase in the price of the central post package in Southern China, so the business was suspended for a day.

From now on, all the Southern China bags will be converted from the original 9.2 to full discount.

It is reported that the suspension of the business is not only the logistics company, but also the majority of freight forwarders in Southern China have received similar notice.

It is learned that

The package is an economic international express service launched by China Post. At present, nearly half of China's cross-border export electricity suppliers are sent overseas through China Post.

The chief executive of Shishi, a garment business in Shishi, Quanzhou, told reporters that the sudden increase in the price of Chinese postal packets is not the first time. The price fluctuates every year, but this year it is earlier than in previous years.

"The freight forwarders who have worked with our company have a lot of goods on hand that do not know how to deal with the goods at the original price, but they will definitely lose some. But what worries me most is that at present, the backlog of products can not be delivered in their warehouses. The tracking numbers provided can not be on-line for a long time, will lead buyers to complain, or when they change the route, they will generate new tracking numbers and cannot update them in time.

In this way, it is easy for us to suffer two losses of goods and money. "

He said.

Reason: Post vigorously adjust to standardize market order.

Quanzhou Hongfa Gift Co., Ltd. Huang told reporters that he began to engage in cross-border electricity business last year.

"When looking for cooperative freight agents, we found that in the greater Quanzhou area, the discount offered by each freight forwarding company is different. The highest discount can reach 18% off, and also provides door-to-door service, but the quality of service is uneven, and occasionally there will be a loss of package."

He said.

In this regard, the reporter interviewed a number of e-commerce enterprises and freight forwarders in Fujian, and found that the price of all the Chinese postal packages in Fujian has been raised, but the prices of different routes are also different. For example, there is a 9.4 discount for the Quanzhou packet.

Yiwu and Shenzhen still offer a 8-9 discount, or even a price of 40 percent off.

Fujian post postal mail leader told reporters that the price adjustment of China post is not only for Southern China, but also for the whole country.

"In fact, it can not be said that raising the freight rate is actually standardizing the operation.

Because the prices of small packages are different all over the country, many places will offer a very low discount in order to increase the volume of business. This will lead to the influx of parcels in other provinces and cities, causing congestion and affecting the overall efficiency.

Therefore, the overall price increase is more specifically aimed at regulating the current price chaos in the market and standardizing the market order, rather than aiming at a certain city.

At the same time, we will further improve the quality of service in response to the upcoming peak season.

The person in charge said.

A freight forwarding company in Hunan also said that the logistics of many inland cities such as Changsha had been flooded with coastal cities such as Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shenzhen. Once the traditional peak season arrived, the goods would be backlog in the warehouse and could not be delivered in time.

He said: "China Post packet is currently the most mainstream logistics channel in cross-border electricity supplier market, but since 2013, its price fluctuation has also been very passive.

Since the Southern China area has been adjusted to full price, other local postal packages full price of the wind also spread in the market.

When the peak season comes, the cargo is overloaded and burst.

One of the top issues that need to be solved is the price increase operation of China post through macroeconomic regulation and control measures, which is conducive to promoting the rational development of the international packet market.

Impact: big sellers "nothing", small sellers "suffer"

"All along, logistics costs are the largest cost of cross-border electricity providers, and even often appear that the distribution cost is higher than the price or profit of the product itself.

As a "price war", China's cross-border electricity providers, rather than the price of products, is a test of how sellers choose logistics channels.

Every year, the postal parcel will substantially increase the price, which will force the electric business enterprise to optimize the logistics drive, pform and upgrade the delivery mode.

Insiders say.

Huang manager also told reporters that the change in the price of the small package of Chinese postal service is not far-reaching enough for the big sellers, but the small sellers will get a lot of trouble.

"Big sellers generally take the quantity. The development of border warehouses and overseas warehouses not only greatly improves the time limit of large sellers, but also has great advantages in terms of price due to the favorable policies.

In contrast, the pricing policy of small sellers is often constrained by logistics cost factors.

Once the logistics price fluctuates, they will have to adjust accordingly.

However, despite the sharp increase in the price of China Post package, its price advantage has been greatly reduced. However, compared with other logistics channels, the China Post package still has a strong advantage, and it can not be "killed" because of price fluctuations, or it should be selected according to its main product characteristics and market situation.

He said.

Ke also said that because clothing is still a common commodity with low price and low profits, if it is sent to emerging markets, there will still be some advantages in choosing Chinese postal packets or looking for bags that have not yet been substantially increased.

"If it is sent to the United States or Russia, it can choose logistics through direct line service.

Take our company as an example, we often go to e Po Po.

For electrified products, overseas postal services such as Singapore, Switzerland and Sweden can be selected. In Europe and North America, overseas postal packets can also be selected for high timeliness requirements.

In view of the impact of price fluctuations at different stages of the annual mail packets, the e-commerce service platform is also working closely with the logistics enterprises to carry out the logistics line to reduce the passive impact of the logistics cost of the small and medium-sized sellers.

However, some sellers said that the current price rise is due to the peak season of cross-border electricity providers. Once entering the off-season, prices will still have a small room, so there is no need to panic.
