Near Spring Festival, express delivery

Enter the "semi closed business" state.

Many express companies such as STO, Yuantong express, Zhong Tong express, Huitong express, rhyme express have announced the service arrangements during the Spring Festival.

From February 10th, more than 80% of the express companies will enter the "Spring Festival stalls", and this situation will gradually resume after February 25th.

EMS, Shun Feng and China Post will still operate normally during the Spring Festival.

Unlike the third party distribution providers, Jingdong, suning.com, Amazon China, vip.com and other logistics providers are still closed during the Spring Festival.

Consumers can normally buy proprietary products during the Spring Festival.

Comparison of the main distribution rules of Spring Festival in 2015 and Spring Festival

According to the monitoring data of the China Electronic Commerce Research Center (100EC.CN), in 2013, the volume of China's express delivery business reached 920 million, with 6.8 per capita, while the world's second was only second to the US, and the volume of business increased 60% over the same period last year.

In 2014, China's express delivery volume reached 14 billion, an increase of 52% over the same period last year, ranking first in the world.

The following is the comparison of the main domestic express delivery rules during the Spring Festival by the China Electronic Commerce Research Center.

The chart shows: in addition to Huitong, CCES, and normal operation of EMS, Shun Feng, the other express companies will open the "Spring Festival mode" in February 17th, stop receiving goods, and began to resume normal operation in February 23rd.

As in 2014, EMS and Shun Feng will remain in normal operation during the Spring Festival. In addition, Shentong, Zhong Tong, Yuantong, rhyme and Home Express will enter a semi closed business. Some of the outlets will continue to operate, but most of them will not be guaranteed.

In addition, from February 18th to February 24th, we need to charge more than 10 yuan per piece for SF and rhyme.

To sum up, we think that during the Spring Festival, a large number of express delivery will be undertaken by EMS and SF. The volume of the two express companies will show blowout growth during the Spring Festival, while the rest of the couriers are in a semi closed state, but they are not particularly suitable for the delivery of the Spring Festival express.

China still practices the endless practice of distribution, and combines the convenience of neighbors' convenience stores, the layout of 3000 convenience stores in the whole country during the Spring Festival, and the 2000 EMS pick-up points for consumers to receive express delivery.

Gome online has launched a special distribution service for new year's Eve to ensure the dispatch of express products.

Suning.com also sinks down the channel, in the Nanjing area "last mile" small piece of physical distribution coverage has worked hard.

In addition, last year, orders from Jingdong, suning.com, Dangdang, Gome, and 1 auto suppliers were shipped during the Spring Festival. Vip.com is also involved in the normal operation and delivery this year.

In conclusion, Suning, Amazon China, Gome online, shop No. 1 and vip.com basically meet the needs of customers during the Spring Festival, and are suitable for placing orders and sending them.

Three, analyst comment

Express enterprise angle

In response, Shen Yunyun, assistant analyst at the China Electronic Commerce Research Center, said:

"Year-round" also has the "Spring Festival model": "four links and one Da", daily, home delivery and other major express logistics enterprises have entered the "hibernation period", although many express companies claim that "no net, no rejection, no backlog", but in fact, most of its affiliate outlets stop receiving products before the Spring Festival.

With the Spring Festival approaching, the shortage of express delivery capacity is inevitable.

"Rising prices of personnel tensions are inevitable": a large number of courier staff leave, resulting in the role of vacancies in the distribution link, so that delivery is very difficult. Therefore, Shun Feng and other express delivery of the Spring Festival price increase is understandable.

"The rise of private courier EMS is the pressure for Spring Festival": Although EMS has entered the market under the request of postal system restructuring, it is still difficult to fully embrace the market. At the same time, the rise of private couriers has also put pressure on EMS. Therefore, relying on its own backdrop, the Spring Festival is undoubtedly the battleground of EMS every year.

"Changing the habit of new year purchases under the consumer line": if the courier companies really solve the problem of normal receipt of goods during the Spring Festival, they will not only enhance their brand influence, but also further change the traditional habit of buying new year's goods under the line of consumers, and promote the improvement of the Spring Festival's living standard, so that they can enjoy the shopping at any time and wherever they are during the Spring Festival.

E-commerce self built logistics Perspective

In response, Mo Daiqing, an online retailer analyst at the China Electronic Commerce Research Center, said:

The advantages of self built logistics providers are obvious: with the rapid development of e-commerce, logistics construction has become a crucial link.

After all the express companies entered the "semi shutdown" state, the self built logistics advantages of the electricity suppliers were highlighted.

Taobao Tmall is at a disadvantage, such as Jingdong, Suning and so on, which has built up its own logistics market. Taobao Tmall, which relies on third party logistics, is at a disadvantage.

In contrast, Jingdong, Suning, Amazon China and Gome online have built their own logistics to play a better role in competition services and speed, which is conducive to seize the "Spring Festival market" and seize market opportunities.

E-commerce and logistics can be described as "lip to tooth cold": logistics is an extremely important link in the e-commerce industry chain, and its penetration with e-commerce industry has become a trend in the era of big business.

The electricity supplier self built logistics, in addition to reducing logistics costs, not to be subject to the third party, effectively protect the shipping speed and delivery time, enhance the overall competitiveness.

The relationship between e-commerce and logistics can be described as "lips and teeth". The failure of express delivery will affect the sustainable development of e-commerce.

They need better cooperation and integration.

Online shopping suggestions and problems in Spring Festival

In response, Sun Luqian, assistant analyst at the Ministry of law and rights of China Electronic Commerce Research Center, said:

Online shopping is in a dormant period. Users need to read the rules carefully and place an order early: in addition to EMS and Shun Feng's normal business during the Spring Festival, the four way one express will go out of business in February 16th and February 17th.

The electronic commerce platform should announce the logistics distribution plan in advance of the Spring Festival, and extend the time for the goods to be returned to inform consumers, so as to avoid the occurrence of delayed delivery and poor user experience.

In addition, consumers who need online shopping should carefully read the rules of e-commerce logistics distribution during the Spring Festival, and make an early order, so as not to cause the goods to be pported out of time and cause unnecessary shopping troubles.

After the holiday, the pressure of the explosion of the online shopping repurchase and rush delivery increased. According to the statistics of China's e-commerce complaints and rights public service platform, China's e-commerce complaints were mainly distributed in the fields of online shopping, O2O, mobile e-commerce (WeChat shopping, e-commerce mobile terminal shopping), logistics Express, third party payment, B2B network trade, and so on. Among them, complaints in the logistics and express domain accounted for 6.86%.

After the Spring Festival, the express delivery is back to normal. There will be problems such as burst pressure, backlog of goods, delayed arrival, shortage of salesmen, and so on.

In addition, due to the delay in processing during the Spring Festival, the electricity providers will also welcome a wave of exchange returns, and the self built logistics providers will also take advantage of speed.
