What are the ways to save money by sending express delivery?

In fact, there are some ways to save money by express delivery, but friends who are not in contact with the express delivery industry may not know these methods. They all send goods in an appropriate way, and sometimes even pick a few express delivery companies and place orders at will. I have been doing Taobao for several years and have dealt with the express delivery industry a lot. Here are three ways to save money:

First, learn to use the discount applet to place an order.

Are you used to placing orders and sending items directly on WeChat official accounts of major courier companies? There is no discount at all ... after all, it has been delivered many times before, and I can't spare a penny. I didn't know how much I lost until I came into contact with this industry. I directly told you how to send it with a discount applet.

Step 1: Open WeChat and drag down the message page;

Step 2, enter the applet in the top search bar and enter "all benefits" here to search;

Step 3, click Hui Quan to send this small program after searching, usually in the first position;

Step 4, click the page and send the courier;

Step 5, fill in the mailing address and receiving address, check the courier company that you want to place an order, and choose to place an order immediately.

The information I filled in here was mailed by the same province. Only 6.5 yuan is needed within 1kg. If you place an order in official website or mail it directly to a post office, it is usually 8- 10 yuan/kg. Relatively speaking, this small program will be cheaper ~

Second, prepare your own packing box for packaging.

Like some small items, courier can provide free packaging, but for some large items or fragile/valuable items, courier will take the opportunity to charge packaging fees, and he will tell you what problems the goods may encounter on the way. I suggest that you'd better pack according to their requirements, which will cost more money.

If large items need to be packed, you can buy packing boxes online. For fresh food that needs to be transported in cold storage, it is cheaper to buy a foam box than to buy it from a courier. As for some goods that need to be packed in foam to prevent bumping, we usually pack them for us in bubble bags at online shopping merchants, and throw them away directly without opening the express delivery. This time comes in handy ~

Third, we should distinguish between express delivery and logistics. We just need to remember a simple sentence. Small items are delivered by express delivery, and large items are delivered by logistics. For example, items above 20-30kg belong to large items, so it will be much cheaper to choose logistics.

It is known that Debon Logistics is cheaper to send large pieces, but Jingdong Express is also cheaper to send large pieces! Open the JD.COM application and find the courier service on the page.

If you are familiar with the courier, you can directly ask the courier to deliver it for you. It can be said that the other party can get the lowest price by taking back the territory. For example, it may cost 8 yuan to send an order in the province online, and it may only cost 2 yuan for the courier to bring it back to the scene and send it in his own name. The sender can also fill in your information. There is no problem at all. The key is to know such a person.

We can also buy a freight insurance when shopping online, or choose a merchant with free freight insurance to buy it, so that we can save part of the freight when returning the mail, or deduct all the freight directly.
