How to treat Tong Yuan Express?

After the Spring Festival, a number of express outlets in Shanghai were exposed by the media, and Tong Yuan, Shentong and other express companies experienced different degrees of parcel backlog. Tong Yuan customer service also said that at present, 38 Tong Yuan stations in Shanghai have stopped receiving goods. Some citizens go to the express delivery point to pick up the pieces themselves.

Mia felt the explosion in Tong Yuan as early as the end of the Spring Festival holiday, because she wanted to mail Turkish calligraphy to her fans, but she called Tong Yuan many times, but no one answered. In the past, a customer service phone in Tong Yuan could place an order within minutes. If something goes wrong, there will be demons.

Yesterday, CEO Liu publicly exposed the scars of the express delivery industry: this is a cancer hidden by the rapid growth of e-commerce for more than ten years, and employees have no five insurances and one gold or five insurances and one gold. Honest and frank Dong Ge pointed out that some express delivery companies deducted the welfare of distributors.

The reshuffle of the express delivery industry is just around the corner, and the storm is coming.

Borrow express delivery in previous lives.

Express delivery companies have existed since ancient times, but they were called escort agencies in ancient times.

However, the ancient traffic was underdeveloped, and it took several months to transport goods across provinces by horse-drawn carriages and oxen, and it was also necessary to prevent bandits from robbing darts. Therefore, in the past, besides martial arts, people in escort agencies also had swords, guns and weapons. Cecilia Cheung can play so well in The Roar of Lions because he has the background of an escort company.

Before the development of e-commerce, there was only one courier company, namely the post office.

The rise of express delivery

With the rise of a large number of e-commerce companies such as Taobao and JD.COM, private express delivery companies have sprung up. Even the newspaper distribution department will receive express parcels from e-commerce companies when delivering newspapers.

How big is the cake in the express delivery industry? A colleague of our newspaper originally resigned and started a courier company. At first, my wife was not optimistic, saying that this industry had no future and was a dirty job that no one did.

Due to catching up with the e-commerce bonus period, my colleague's courier company developed rapidly, and my wife simply resigned to help. It is said that every month's salary is paid to the company by sacks.

However, the development of Internet has changed from barbaric growth to intensive cultivation. The dividend in the express delivery industry is getting thinner and thinner.

To tell you the truth, I like to use Tong Yuan because it is cheap. SF 12 yuan, 7 yuan, Tong Yuan and 8 yuan. Consumers certainly hope that the cheaper the service, the better. So later courier companies only accepted low-priced goods. According to the data released by CICC, the gross profit of express delivery decreased from 30% to about 5%- 10%.

Let's talk about the life state of the courier brother first. They generally don't read much, so they can only do some rough and heavy work. When I was in the newspaper office, there was a heavy rain. Even with the tent, a row of express mail at the door was soaked. You must compensate for the damage to the goods.

Receiving goods outdoors for a long time in summer is prone to heatstroke, and even riding an electric car is at risk of being caught by urban management.

Last time in SF, a little brother accidentally scratched his car in the community, was beaten, scolded and slapped.

I was so angry that Wang Wei, the boss of SF Express, publicly voiced: If I don't pursue it to the end, I don't deserve to be the president of SF Express.

Wind and rain, sun exposure, cold wind in winter. I have seen the courier's nose red with cold, and DC's nose is still there to take orders.

Long working hours are also a common problem in the express delivery industry. I remember that when the newspaper worked overtime until 7: 00 or 8: 00 in the evening, when I went out, I would see that the courier brother was still sorting out the package. His dinner is a box lunch.

The intensity of work is not respected, and the mobility of people in this industry is also great. It is not unusual to become a stranger in a few days.

The closure of the courier company has a lot to do with the fact that many people choose to stay in their hometown after the Spring Festival. The courier brother has a labor shortage.

Another point is that delivery now earns more money than delivery, because major delivery companies usually have venture capital subsidies, and the profit of delivery can only earn 1-2 yuan per order, while delivery is 5-8 yuan. Many courier brothers have switched to delivery.

The rise and fall of any industry will go through the process of peak to reshuffle, but there is demand and there is market. Perhaps this wave of shuffling will bring about an improvement in the treatment of the courier brother. After all, there are still so many defeated women waiting to chop their hands.
