China Post is really disappointing! I sent a book to Guangzhou and it charged me 20 yuan.

The other party wants regular mail. I think it’s an area that is generally not accessible by express delivery.

Haha. China Post is a monopoly-operated monster economy with poor attitude and slow speed! Let me tell you an open secret: Lost packages often cannot be found, and even if they are checked for a week before being replied to, nothing happens in the end!

I don’t understand why such a company should be allowed to survive! Maybe it's based on national defense considerations.

I don’t use it as a last resort.

A way to save money by using the postal service; 1. Use your own packaging, buy 10# cartons by yourself at most 0.5 yuan/piece. It costs at least 3 yuan/piece there. If you are sending a book, just wrap it in the cardboard you opened and add a plastic bag inside to prevent moisture.

2. If you are not in a hurry, use surface mail. Ask her for the surface package receipt. Which receipt will be used and what fee will be charged! Many times they will say no and give you the express delivery bill directly. (Because surface mail is troublesome and unprofitable) I bought it for 0.28 yuan/piece, which is 50 cents there.

3. Bring the sealing tape with you. They will usually inspect it before shipping, and then seal it yourself. If she seals it for you, the tape will cost you 50 cents! The cost is only a few cents, which is an unnecessary cost in the long run for those of us who deliver goods all day long.

4. No insurance required, I never use it. The snail speed of ordinary mail means that even if you protect it, it will be in vain! Even if I call 11185, I can't find the regular mail.

Oh, let’s talk about its disadvantages. The only advantage is that it covers a wide area and can be reached by mail. This is unmatched by any express delivery.

That’s all I can think of for now, hope this helps.
