What does the speed of express delivery have to do with anything?

The process of express delivery is generally like this: receiving goods-arriving at transit outlets (some have to transfer several times)-arriving at destination outlets-sorting by region-sending parts.

The time of express delivery is directly proportional to the distance. For example, when I sent it from Fujian to Guangdong, the time was definitely different from when I sent it from Fujian to Inner Mongolia. The time to Inner Mongolia is much longer than that to Guangdong.

Now the mainstream express delivery is JD.COM, SF Express, EMS, Shentong, Tong Yuan, Zhongtong, Dayun and Baishi, not to mention other small express delivery.

Just now, the first reason for the arrival time is the distance. Second, it is related to the number of outlets. The more outlets, the faster the arrival time.

Third, whether the courier company owns cargo planes and transport vehicles, and the quantity. For example, like SF Express, why fast? Because SF has many freighters, it should be the express company with the largest number of freighters in China, and it can fly directly, so it is very fast and of course the most expensive, so most sellers will not take SF as the first choice. If the seller is required to send SF Express, it is generally necessary to make up the freight.

Let's talk about this point distribution first. Express delivery generally goes to provincial central outlets, then to municipal outlets, then to county or district outlets, then to township outlets, and finally to consumers. Generally, there are many outlets and flights in coastal cities and first-tier cities, and there are also many trains or trucks, so the arrival time will be faster. For example, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Fujian and Guangdong, the overall speed is relatively fast, generally within 1-3 days. Other middle or second, third and third line outlets will be slow 1-2 days. For example, Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu and Inner Mongolia. Usually it is the slowest, because there are few outlets and the distance is long, but the slowness is relative, depending on the place where the goods are delivered.

For example, I sent it from Fujian to Guangdong, one to Guangzhou and one to Shaoguan. It may arrive in downtown Guangzhou the next day, but it will take 1-2 days to send it to Shaoguan.

Now let's talk about Jingdong Express. Many people think that Jingdong Express is very fast, and they all like to compare Jingdong Express with ordinary express. Express delivery is also unfair. JD.COM is fast because many of JD.COM are self-employed, and JD.COM has its own warehouses. According to JD. COM's own financial report, there are more than 500 warehouses nationwide, plus its own logistics system. In addition, JD.COM only sent its own orders before, and then everything you bought was delivered according to the principle of proximity, so it's hard to be unhappy. If the same package is sent to other courier companies, the speed is similar.

Now let's talk about postal EMS, the only state-owned enterprise. The first impression of postal service is slow. Actually, this is not right. Postal EMS also has many businesses, including express delivery and ordinary express delivery, postal parcel delivery. You can pay more if you want to be quick. The other is that many other village-level couriers can't arrive, only postal services can. Because there are few outlets and few people in these places, it is normal to be slow. The speed of mailing to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is similar to that of Shentong, Tong Yuan and Dayun. Some are even faster.

Now, several other factors affect the delivery time of express delivery.

I bought it during the period of 1. Double 1 1. Every year, the delivery time of the products bought during this period will be a little slower than usual. Then there are holidays, especially near the Spring Festival. Many couriers are on holiday, and fewer people deliver goods, which is slower than usual.

2. Force majeure factors, such as typhoon, heavy snow road closure, rainstorm, flood and other extreme weather, flight delay and road closure, will affect the delivery time of express delivery. In this case, if you know that the local area is caused by this factor, don't rush the courier and complain to the seller. These are not artificially controlled.

3. The delivery address belongs to the delivery range, that is, there is no local outlet for the delivery address, and generally other forwarding is needed, such as giving it to a courier or trailer to help you get there. Or you need to go to the outlet to pick up the pieces yourself. If you know this situation in advance, be sure to confirm with the seller that you can get the express delivery before you buy it.

4. Your city happens to host large-scale activities or international conferences, such as Beijing, which often hosts various international conferences. Generally, the express delivery is strictly controlled during the conference, and the security inspection procedure is very strict, or you are not allowed to send it directly, and you have been stranded at the outlets until the end of the conference. This is also beyond the control of express delivery and sellers.

5. The outlet is abnormal, so delivery cannot be made. Generally, all the outlets in your area are closed or closed. If you can't send it out, you can only go back the same way. In this case, the seller doesn't know in advance, and he won't know until you give him feedback. Contact the seller directly and express it to you.

6. Express delivery is not the most common. Nowadays, a lot of express delivery is directly thrown to you at the post station or beehive, and then sent to you by text message for you to pick up. This short message is often intercepted as spam, causing you to pay no attention. In this case, you can directly contact your courier to deliver the goods to your door, or contact the seller to help you handle it.

Finally, to sum up.

As sellers, we are always more anxious about the arrival time of the package than you are, and we can't wait to deliver it to you immediately. However, express delivery belongs to a third party and is beyond our control. The courier will arrive in a few days. It's not our decision, and the courier company can't control it. If we encounter the irresistible factors mentioned above again, then don't complain to the seller because of the express delivery problem. It is not easy for everyone. We should understand each other more and be more tolerant. Just like you like to ask after placing an order, how many days will it arrive? It's not appropriate for us to answer for a few days. Answer quickly. You didn't come to us and answered slowly. Why are you so slow? If you don't answer, say we have a bad attitude. Understand more and understand each other!
