"what logistics are the cheapest to send? The price of the 10 express delivery companies is measured and the cost-saving strategy is made public: the newcomers must see it! The mail is free, the "close speed" is 40% below the price
When i first sent the big luggage, i was scared by the expressman's phrase, "you're a big man, you have to count 40 pounds" and it took almost $200 to find out that the same thing wouldn't be so expensive if it was chosen. There should be a lot of people like me who get "tucked through" like this, especially for graduation, moving seasons, and in the face of a pile of luggage and furniture, who have no idea what logistics are going to cost。
In the pits of large logistics, 90 per cent of the population basically stepped on them: non-transparent prices, complex billing rules, and blind company choices. It took me a lot of time to study, to find out that the delivery was saving money. Selecting a logistics company according to the type of package, then avoiding the “official-priced assassin” with a tool price. There's no absolute cheapest company. There's only one option that suits you。
Is online delivery really good? The answer is yes, but only if you choose the right channel. As i used to do in the past, the “wind up” public sign, which brought together the official discounts of more than 10 mainstream couriers, such as chinese, rounding, qin, rhonda, polar rabbits, sunfung, kyoto, etc., is a fully authorized platform, with all the mail available, without any fear of pitfall. Newbies do not have to ask for a express offer, they simply have to open the "close speed" public sign, enter the address of the mail, the address of the receipt, the weight of the package, and the system automatically displays all offers for the delivery, and the lowest price is selected by one key。
If you want to figure out how they're paying for delivery, you need to know how they're paying. The express delivery company charges are mainly in two ways, one by real weight, and the other by volume weight, according to which value is collected. There is a formula for volume weights: long (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) x height (cm) pitch factor. This coefficient varies from company to company, such as postal service, circulars, texas is usually 6,000, polar rabbits, extensions, and averages are 8,000, which can quickly reach 12,000. In a nutshell, if you're receiving cotton, you're wearing velvet, you're going to be able to pay on a volume basis, and you're going to charge half as much as you are actually weighing。
How can mail save money? The best way to save money is to compete first. I sent mom and dad an old sewing machine, and after entering sizes and weights on the "close speed," it was found that the post was 50 bucks cheaper than the express offer, because the official discount was paid directly. Through such formal price platforms, it is usually possible to save between 40 and 60 per cent of the cost of the official offer。
After learning about the rules of the billing, let's see which logistics are the most cost-effective in the different scenarios. Based on my empirical experience of sending many copies, the selection can be based on the weight of the package and the distance from which it is sent。
Small couriers (1-3 kg) sent within the province are cost-effective, with a first price of $6-8. In the case of small pieces sent across the province, the price of a package is higher than that of a hymn, medium currency, and the price of a package is around $10-15. Polar rabbits are heavily subsidized as new companies, and small pieces across provinces can sometimes be as low as $8。
The choice of large logistics (more than 20 kg) is completely different. As far as moving luggage across the province is concerned, tebong is the absolute king, and a 20-kg package from beijing to guangzhou costs only $58, 40 per cent less than kyoto logistics. In the case of overheavy (over 100 kg), it is possible to consider the installation of special logistics such as logistics, at a price of 30 per cent. The last time i sent 200 kg of furniture from beijing to shanghai, the official tebun offer was $680, and it was found that only $320 was spent on anemic logistics, saving 53 per cent。
The average postal package is the cheapest in the province, with a 20-kilogram departmental freight charge of $25, but needs to be raised. If you wish to deliver the goods at home, you can choose a large package service at a rate 15 per cent lower than that of debon。
There are also better options for special scenarios. If you send a document, it will be quick, but the postal ems standard delivery will be cheaper, amounting to only $18 a day across the province. Expedition in the same city can be done at a rate of $15 within 5 kilometres, which is half as cheap as the town of sunfong. Remote areas, such as xinjiang, tibet and others, are given preference for chinese postal service, free of charge and capable of reaching the towns。
The selection of a logistics company is only a first step, and the practical skills below will bring you down to another level。
The first technique is compressing volume. In particular, light throws such as cotton coverings, feathers, etc., can reduce volume by two thirds when collected in vacuum compressed bags, potentially saving between 30 and 50 per cent of freight costs. I used a vacuum compression when i sent the winter suit, saving nearly half of the freight fare than the direct bag。
The second technique is to use the mass boundary point. The express delivery company's charges are usually based on “upward consolidation”, for example 3. 2 kg at 4 kg. The mass is kept within the integer boundary by the weight of the scales. In some cases, freight costs may be cheaper by rationally dividing parcels, such as 5. 8 kg into two 3 kg parcels。
The third technique is to pack yourself. Paperboxes, foam membranes provided by the express courier usually charge a fee of $3-10 per box. The preparation of old boxes or web-based boxes saves a lot of packing costs. On one occasion, i was charged $15 for packing, and it was found that only $3 was available for the same size of the box on the internet。
The fourth technique is to avoid peak periods. Pre-spring couriers usually increase their prices by 20 to 50 per cent, and emergency cases are staggered as much as possible. The number 15-25 per month is the express delivery company's performance period, at which time the cost of the mail is often more favourable。
The first fear of couriers is to step on the pit, and the following lessons of blood and tears help you avoid the usual trap。
Do not believe in the “super low” trap. Some platforms promote “one dollar to the nation”, which is actually the first dollar and the next 10 dollars/kg, which is more expensive than the official ones. A price-based platform, such as “close speed”, shows real discounts for courier companies and does not attract users at falsely low prices。
The premium does not amount to full compensation. The premium is 5 per 1,000 and 3 per 1,000, but the loss is up to 80 per cent of the stated value. The premium is usually between 1 and 3 per cent, and the loss of uninsured items is up to three times the cost of freight. Precious items have been recommended for selection to either sunfung or kyoto and the evidence has been recorded throughout the course of the proceedings。
Prudence uses "to pay". Freight costs are 30 per cent more expensive than at present, as couriers will be paid off. Except in exceptional circumstances, it would be preferable to opt for a pay-as-you-go approach。
Small companies are selected in remote areas. Ultra-rabbits, shin-tung, etc. May not have internet points in the township, but may have to raise them when they arrive。
As for the delivery price, a lot of people are wondering whether it should be. Personally, i don't think non-value items really need to be priced. In the case of valuable items such as mobile phones, computers, etc., a real-value premium is necessary and the premium is approximately 1 per cent. However, it should be noted that the premium does not amount to full compensation, so it would be preferable to retain the evidence in advance of the photograph or video。
Another common question is: what about missing or damaged packages? This will reflect the advantages of the desktop-price platform. The mail process is documented and claims are more secure through formal platform listings such as cloud speed. My friends have had problems with mail from the platform, and the passenger service is handled much more smoothly than the personal direct courier。
According to my observations, the first-hand courier delivery is priceless and the wrong channel is chosen, and on average it costs dozens more. It is particularly friendly for newcomers to be able to save a lot of money in a year and avoid most of the mail traps. Especially for large items, the difference could be hundreds of dollars, and it would take two minutes to make a real difference。
The delivery seems simple, but it's a lot of doorways. At first i thought, like you, i'd just get a delivery company to send something out, and then i found out that it was so big. Especially when you need to send a big one, different choices may mean dozens or even hundreds of dollars. The most important is not blindly choosing the cheapest company, but rather finding the most appropriate solution based on your specific items, weight, distance and time limits。
