The courier dictated with tears: 200 pieces a day, earning 25 cents per order. I just want to live first.

The world has suffered from the price war for a long time! Today's courier is in do or die!

Recently, CCTV Finance reported that the price war of major courier companies has brought about a sharp drop in delivery fees, and many couriers are complaining.

What is even more frightening is that a courier directly vomited, and the delivery fee dropped to 4 cents/piece. After deducting the SMS fee and telephone fee, you can only earn 25 cents per order!

You only earn 25 cents per order. What concept? Let's calculate an account first. Each courier keeps working 10 hours or more every day. On average, he can send about 200 bills a day. Even if Man Qin is maintained every month, after one month, the income from dispatching orders is only 1500 yuan.

In addition, many sites don't have a basic salary, and couriers earn 1500 yuan every month, so it is difficult to survive in small counties outside the 18th Line. And it's hard every day, even a security guard who can stand guard and open the door every month can get 3000 yuan. It's hard to feel at ease when you think about it.

Presumably, many people have doubts about this. We usually send small pieces, basically around 10 yuan, and many of them are as high as 20 yuan. It is really wrong to say that the courier only earns 2.5% profit!

However, when you understand the unknown charges in the express delivery industry, you will understand why the courier only has a miserable 25 cents per order.

The charging standard of express delivery industry, the profit of single ticket is calculated in millimeters. In terms of profit distribution, it can be said that the water inside is really deep.

Because in it, there are countless middlemen who are carving up profits thinner than paper!

First of all, let me tell you how the business of the courier company is distributed. The business of express delivery companies mainly focuses on four links: collection, transit, delivery and information service, all of which are indispensable.

After these four links are charged layer by layer, the courier finally gets the profit. Suppose a user pays a courier fee of 10 yuan, in which 3 yuan was taken away by the buyer at first, the same city delivery fee of 1.6 yuan, the freight of the distribution center of 0.3 yuan, and the head office also charges a face-to-face fee of 1 yuan, a transit fee of 2 yuan, and a delivery fee of 1.5 yuan. Finally, the delivery fee of the courier is about 65438.

But the problem is that this is the best ideal charging mode without the external force of price war. If there is a price war, can the courier still get the delivery fee of 1.6 yuan?

We should know that the income from face-to-face bills, transit fees and transportation fees is basically fixed. Once a price war occurs, the profit income of terminal outlets and couriers will suffer first.

So the city gate caught fire, which affected the fish in the pool. The courier was forced to become a victim of the price war.

Now, you know, the biggest problem that couriers can only earn 25 cents is the price war. If there is no price war, the courier's single fee will naturally increase.

So how long will this price war last?

I can only say that this battle is a bottomless pit and it is hard to see the end.

This is the same as the essence of commercial competition. Since ancient times, as long as there are 2-3 similar companies with the same business, there must be competition between them.

The same is true of logistics. As long as there is competition, there is bound to be a price war.

In addition, the price war is not a day or two, and it is basically impossible to change.

According to the data, since 20 10, the average price of express delivery in China's express delivery industry has been falling. 20 10 year is 24.6 yuan. In 20 19, the number dropped to 1 1.8 yuan, which nearly doubled in just nine years. This year's price war has not eased, but has intensified. Therefore, judging at present, the probability of price war is endless.

Secondly, according to the financial information disclosed at present, the "ammunition" of each courier is still relatively sufficient. In addition to Shentong, Tong Yuan, SF, Zhongtong and many other giants have abundant cash flows, and SF even experienced nearly twice the data growth in the first half of this year. Since there is money to smash, the price war will naturally not stop in a short time.

At the same time, the Tongda Department has also made great moves this year. SF has beehive boxes, Zhongtong has acquired gooday, Dayun has honeypots and Dayun supermarkets, Shentong Miaozhan has started to land, and Tong Yuan has a mother station, etc. These express delivery giants keep raising prices at the end of express delivery, which intensifies the competition between them. In order to occupy the new market in a short time, the price war is bound to continue.

Finally, the emergence of new rivals has added another dose of medicine to this already insatiable express delivery market.

In recent years, the strong entry of Extreme Rabbit and China Post has made this market even more uncontrollable. If you usually use Pinduoduo, you will find that 80% of the merchants send you a rabbit express. With 600 million users in Pinduoduo, Extreme Rabbit Express obviously has no shortage of market, and the consequence of this is that the competition between express delivery will be more intense, and the price war will eventually become more and more intense.

So I can't stop cutting, and the reason is still chaotic. It is basically difficult for the express delivery industry to get rid of the price war. And each of us is also caught in the whirlpool of price war.

Courier, as the most direct victim, naturally became our primary object of discussion.

Presumably, everyone has seen the message that "takeaway and express delivery can easily earn more than 10,000 yuan a month". But to be honest, this is really a small number. The data shows that 75.07% of couriers earn less than 5,000 yuan a month, and only 0.73% earn more than 654.38+10,000 yuan a month. In other words, the income of couriers is not high in the whole society.

Now, coupled with the price war, the courier's income is getting less and less, and he is getting busier and busier. Because the unit price is less now, it means that he needs to run more units to reach the previous income level. This indirectly leads to the inevitable decline of their service level.

For example, many couriers now send express delivery without notifying users in advance. Generally, they put it directly in the courier station or the courier cabinet, and then send you a text message, thus directly completing the delivery of a list.

I believe that most people are unwilling to accept express counter charges. If you put a courier station, it's no problem to be close to home, but if it's a few blocks away and a few kilometers away in a straight line, it's estimated that every user will vomit blood with anger.

Is the price war really good for express delivery companies?

The price war can really make them occupy a certain market in a short time, but after all, it is a protracted war that consumes money. In the long run, the company's cash flow will inevitably be no problem. Just like Quanfeng Express in that year, the growth rate in the peak period exceeded SF Express, and the four links reached one goal, but in the end, the capital chain broke due to the price war, which led to bankruptcy. It can be seen how high the price war requires a company's financial ability.

Therefore, the price war has been fought for so many years, and it is a loss, and there is no benefit at all. But the reality is like a Chinese odyssey: you know you will get hurt, but you still have to jump into the fire.

Finally, I can only say that the chain reaction brought by the price war has deeply affected all of us, which has become an unchangeable fact!
