Will couriers usher in salary increases?
Starting from September 1,
, , Shentong , and YTO will be increased by 0.1 yuan/ticket, and
will be used to "subsidize" the income of couriers.
is calculated based on the per capita delivery of 200 pieces per day for couriers,
is expected to increase the income of about 500 yuan per month for couriers.
delivery fee is actually the income earned by each courier collecting and delivering one ticket to express. The so-called distribution fee is the fee paid by the delivery outlet to the delivery outlet. It is generally paid to the headquarters by the delivery outlet, and then transferred from the headquarters to the delivery outlet. The express delivery price that consumers generally see is not set by the headquarters, but is determined by each local franchise outlet.
It is said that the essence of the delivery fee is a parameter of the internal interests of express delivery companies. This move generally will not have an impact on consumers' express delivery.
More than one express delivery companies will increase the delivery fee
According to Interface News, starting from September 1, the distribution fee of Shentong and YTO will increase by 0.1 yuan per ticket on the entire network. The day before yesterday, ZTO also issued the same regulations. In addition, Best Express responded that it is also currently formulating a situation for the increase in the distribution fee across the entire network.
Shentong Express responded to this and said that this measure was to respond to the "Work Opinions on Protection of the Legal Rights and Interests of Couriers" formulated by the seven central ministries and commissions, further implement the specific deployment of State Post Bureau on protecting the rights and interests of couriers, and effectively enhance the legitimate rights and interests of couriers.
reporter interviewed an YTO Express outlet in Jiangxia, Wuhan. The person in charge, Master Wei, roughly calculated, "A courier can deliver about 200 to 300 pieces a day, and each ticket is increased by 0.1 yuan, which is twenty or thirty yuan a day." Although
seems to only increase by 0.1 yuan per ticket, the cost of each link of express logistics is not low. According to the current cost of about 1.5 yuan per ticket, removing the various costs from transit, sorting to terminal delivery, the cost of a courier who can get each express delivery may be between 0.7 yuan and 0.8 yuan, which is already a relatively high standard in the industry.
According to Master Wei’s calculation, if the express delivery company implements the policy of 0.1 yuan per ticket to increase the terminal delivery fee by 0.1 yuan, then a courier’s monthly income may increase by about 500 yuan.
Express companies hope that the increase in payment of "salary keeping people"
can directly enter the hands of couriers?
Shentong Express stated that it strictly ordered outlets to strictly implement policies and benefit couriers without any discounts. In addition, ZTO also stipulates that the increase in payment fees will be sent directly to the delivery salesperson, and the payment standards for existing payment salespersons at all ZTO outlets across the country shall not be reduced.
According to many sources of Interface News reporters, in the past one or two years, the end payment fees of major brands have been reduced. A courier in Beijing who has been in business for many years said that the terminal payment he received has dropped from the previous 1.8 yuan/ticket to about 1.4 yuan. In March and April, when the express delivery price war was fierce, the end payment fee decline was more frequent, almost a month when it dropped by 20 cents.
In order to balance the problem of lower distribution fees and the benefits of couriers, some regions have begun to integrate outlets of different brands and implement a co-distribution model. That is, the same group of couriers undertake the delivery tasks of multiple courier companies. As a result, the number of delivery items that one courier is responsible for every day has increased a lot, and the delivery efficiency has been improved, offsetting the losses of some of the reduction in payment fees, but the areas responsible have also decreased, which has not greatly benefited the overall benefits of couriers.
express franchisee Master Wei believes that increasing the terminal delivery fee is an important manifestation of "salary to retain people": "After the Spring Festival every year, and before 618 and Double 11, express delivery positions are very short of people and have a lot of mobility." Master Wei told reporters that the implementation of a salary increase policy such as increasing the terminal payment fee will inevitably play a significant role in stabilizing the work confidence of couriers.
In addition to the issue of salary protection has been paid attention to, the "Opinions on Protecting the Legal Rights and Interests of Couriers" also puts forward requirements for couriers' social security issues, such as providing couriers with work-related injury insurance, personal accident insurance and other insurances.
Who will pay for this fee?
For consumers,
price is the most sensitive nerve.
Will this adjustment eventually be transmitted to consumers?
In other words, consumers who buy and buy, will
pay more?
In fact, adjusting the delivery fee
is just an internal settlement fee for the express company, and
does not have much impact on ordinary consumers. Although this is true for
, some netizens complained: "Now the couriers don't deliver them to their homes and just put them on the station. Why are you still embarrassed to increase the payment fee?"
But some netizens think that the courier is really hard and can accept it if you really get a penny.
There is a saying in the express delivery industry,
"First increase the price and die first, then increase the price and wait for death."
That is to say,
If a express delivery company raises the express delivery fee first,
will inevitably lead to customer churn.
Some industry insiders also said that
The current express delivery industry is affected by various factors such as the increase in transportation costs of
, the increase in labor costs, and the rise in raw material prices of
, and the rise in price of
is the general trend.
However, in the long run, if the express delivery industry can optimize its business volume through price adjustment, thereby improving the level and efficiency of express delivery services, reducing brutal sorting, and improving the appropriate investment rate, it is not a bad thing for the development of the industry.
However, there were many consumers complaining about the issue of "express delivery is not available to the door" in the first half of the year. Xiaoguan also paid attention to: announcements issued by industry giants have shown huge losses, and users complained that service levels have also declined; new brands that compete for the market with low prices and high prices have also been exposed to slow time and poor service; companies that provide express delivery and collection services say that they should provide free door-to-door delivery services or long-term rental services...
In this round of competition between express delivery companies and affiliated companies, users' rights and interests have been weakened, and some companies even changed their concepts to cover up their shortcomings in service. For example, "free home delivery for express delivery" will become a "new service", which is a typical confusing concept and inverting black and white.
is a duty that the express company should fulfill in accordance with the contract. It is a breach of contract that privately places the express delivery in a collection point or collection cabinet. But now, some express delivery companies and collection stations say that home delivery according to the contract is a "new service".
On the other hand, due to industry competition and other factors, couriers have also reported that their income has decreased and they can only "win by quantity" by fast delivery. Including the time-out compensation of some platforms, it seems that couriers can compete for speed and reduce delivery quality.
So, this slight increase in distribution fees
can truly benefit couriers
and change the criticized
phenomenon of "express delivery is not available"?
may also need to put a question mark
What do you think?
