Before Double Eleven, the courier brother has been "scared away"? The sad "strike tide" behind the price war

As the pace of Double Eleven is getting closer and closer, the e-commerce platform has already launched the pre-sale activities in full swing, and various express delivery companies are also on standby, just waiting for the "one order" of Double Eleven. However, during this year's preparations, many small accidents occurred.

According to a number of media reports, many consumers recently said that they often encounter delays in receiving parcels, and the logistics has been so slow before the peak of Double Eleven. At the same time, the term "express strike" was pushed to the hot search, and the data on Weibo showed that the number of readings of this topic has exceeded 10 million, and many netizens said in the comments, My courier hasn’t updated its logistics information for many days. I don’t know if the courier can still deliver it normally.

On Double Eleven in 2019, the transaction volume of the entire network was 410.1 billion yuan, and Tmall’s parcels alone accounted for 1.292 billion. In 2020, one year later, whether Double Eleven can refresh last year’s record, countless people Waiting for that day to come, but before that, logistics, a competent assistant, frequently reported negative news.

Earlier, Yunda issued a notice on the intranet to block Extreme Rabbit Express on the entire network. Before that, Shentong and Yuantong both issued similar notices. After understanding, they learned that Extreme Rabbit Express is from a courier giant in Indonesia. It is not surprising that outsiders are blocked. What is surprising is that the domestic express delivery industry has also undergone considerable fluctuations.

There have been many rumors on the Internet, saying that within one month of the four links, a lot of abnormal outlets have been added, involving multiple provinces, and these outlets are generally marked as "the backlog of express mail is serious and unmanned delivery" and many more. Although these express delivery groups have already refuted the rumors, the news of the "express strike" has to be staged over the years. Behind the "courier strike" is the drop in delivery prices and the continuous shrinking of receipt income. Many front-line couriers have reported that many people have retired to the express industry, and the amount of labor is increasing, but the money in hand is getting less and less...

Due to the extremely fierce price war between major express companies, eventually As a result, the front-line couriers became cannon fodder. Behind the price war, there are the "strikes" of the couriers' helplessness. Although the express delivery companies have already refuted the rumors, the express delivery site is abnormal. This is an undeniable fact. Although it is not as exaggerated as the rumors on the Internet, there are also many across the country. In addition to the low income of

, many couriers cannot afford the "high requirements" of express delivery sites. In July of this year, an online store of Zhongtong Express closed down because of the pressure of fines. And the practitioners of this branch said that as long as the customer rated a four-star, they would be fined 500 yuan, and some people were fined 20,000 yuan a month at most!

income is not high, the penalties are severe, each pile is aggravated. The "disappointment" of the couriers in the industry is seeing double eleven coming. Although the express industry is generally stable, there are constant news of "strikes and abnormal outlets" like this, for consumers , Is also a very negative impact.

Obviously, the culprit that makes the couriers overwhelmed directly refers to the "price war". The competition between enterprises, or the survival of the fittest within the industry, is accelerating the "resignation wave" of employees in this industry. As for the upcoming Double Eleven, do you still dare to buy a big deal?
