Does the price increase of express delivery companies constitute a market monopoly?

It is reported that six express delivery companies, including Tong Yuan and Shentong, have issued the Notice on the Adjustment of Delivery Fees of the Whole Network, requiring delivery fees of all delivery outlets to be increased by 0. 15 yuan/ticket, and the implementation time is June 1. Some express delivery companies said that the express delivery industry is affected by many factors such as rising transportation costs, rising labor costs and rising raw material prices, which is one of the main reasons for deciding to adjust the express delivery price.

According to the report, a strong evidence that the current express delivery price is too low is that the logistics form of express delivery has been abused by Chinese people. Online shopping is internationally recognized as the first of China's new "four great inventions". Express delivery is the most popular in China, and its "negative externality" is quite obvious and serious, although the price increase of express delivery companies constitutes market monopoly and price monopoly.

According to the statistics of the State Post Bureau, in 2065438+2004, the number of express parcels1396 million, * * consumed about1400 million, 2 billion woven bags, 5.584 billion plastic bags, 2 1 000 million envelopes and 6.7 billion packing boxes/kloc.

Experts said that how to make express delivery green has become a proposition of the times. It is a realistic path to curb express consumption. Express has brought convenience to people, but this convenience should not be abused, at least it should not encourage the vicious expansion of express consumption at low prices.
