I'll give you the background. I'm the kind of guy who's got a lot of couriers: i've got a lot to buy, i've got to send clothes to my home in a new season, and i've had two boxes and bags last year. In the past, everything had been thrown down the stairs and it was only once that the bill had been turned over and that it had cost 200 dollars a month to realize that something was wrong。
It took me two or three weeks to get the same package, and i tried each other with access to the mail channels: the downstairs station, the express delivery company's official programme, the return route with the electrician platform, the private couriers in the small group of riga, and the halha mail assembly platform recommended by friends. Today, both the measurement process and the price are spread out and the conclusions are put to the end。
Channel 1: downstairs station/trip shop — convenient, but really expensive
That's the way i used to be. An inter-provincial return suit of about 1kg was actually measured for shipment at a circular cost of $12; a box of 25kg of luggage was subsequently sent with an actual weight of 23kg, but owing to the size of the case, the net site had recosted the offer 138 by volume, of which an additional 20 were collected for boxes and packing。
The advantage is clear: downstairs, two steps away, with the mail, without waiting for anyone to come in, suitable for temporary rush。
The disadvantage is that i stepped on the pit the most. First, it's as much as it is, and i never asked anyone else before, and there is no concept of price, and it's probably two bucks in the same neighborhood, and i have no idea. Secondly, clothes, cotton, which is so light and so large, are resized in size at all points, and a package of clothes actually 3kg can count you as 6kg, and the freight charge is doubled. Third, large pieces are revalued at high unit prices, and the first one is followed by a double layer, with boxes, knitted bags and tape collected on a case-by-case basis。
Channel ii: official express minor procedures - standard, but bulk price plus surcharge
For the second time, i'm placing the order in a couple of couriers. A small cross-provincial offer of $10 to $12 and a direct equivalent of $23 to support door-to-door pick-up。
The advantage is that the process is formal, the logistics trajectory and the official passenger service are clear, there are problems in finding people, and there are real problems。
But the pit is hidden in the next order. I went to the house at about 8 p. M. And made an additional payment for night service for the settlement; and a single address in the outskirts of the city, plus a remote fee — the page was marked with a low price for diversion, and the floor, night and remote fees were rounded down, which was paid a little more than the price. It is also the case that the official channel will always be the original price, and that no discount will be paid to the diaspora, and that urgent and valuable items will be recognized only as valuable。
Channel three: the electrical platform defaults on the return of the goods - yes, but only suitable for the return
For the third time, the network was specialized in the purchase of returned goods. The address is automatically filled out at the direct point on the order sheet, and the purchase order is almost free of charge after the credit for freight insurance; if there is no freight insurance, i received 10 bucks for a pick-up across the province。
The advantage is that the process is silky, the return address is not filled in manually, the express delivery number is automatically filled back to the after-sale page, and freight insurance is offset on-the-spot, saves the effort。
But its borders are also hard: it can only send a return order from this platform, and it can't use it to send home something, a document. And it's a default agreement, with no subsidies or discounts available, and the express delivery company is allocated by the system, and it's not clear that a few dollars are refunded, like me, and it's normal to spend a few hundred more a year, which is typical of "facilitated, but tacitly expensive."。
Channel 4: private couriers — cheap luck, little after sale
The fourth route is a courier from riga, a community courier, with a private address for him to pick up. He charged eight pieces across the province, which is cheaper than the station; the big one gave me 110, which sounds good。
The advantage is that well-known customers are sometimes able to get a low price and can write down a few prices and be flexible in timing。
But i don't think i dare use it. First, the offer was based on one mouth, and today's eight bucks could be $10 to watch people cook; second, when the big one was really to be sent, he said that weaves, packs, moves down the stairs would cost more than much. The most important thing is that there is no platform: the single number is slow, there is no logistics, nothing is broken, nothing is broken, there's not even a proper complaints portal, and i would never give it to him。
Channel five: aggregation platform (haha mail) - the last remaining channel
The last test is a friend of anne's "haha" from a micro-search program that works directly without downloading the app. Behind its backs, it brings together shin, sun-fung, debong, china-china, polar rabbits, postal, ying-da, kyoto, rounding these mainstream express and medium express, trans-border, 100-world express, german logistics, fast-forward, one-metre tot-tuit, and ancan-mainstream express, and the next one-hour system automatically compares the prices of individual offers。
The price is measured as follows: a shipment of 1 kg of small pieces across the province from haha (from 3. 5 dollars in the same city); the luggage of 40kg, 58 dollars in its large corridor, and free access to the door and free packs to strengthen it; and the same line, with 11 dollars at its easy-to-fun port, the same time as the official ones。
I say one thing:
1. Commercial level agreement prices, which are generally 30-40 per cent lower than bulk retail prices
2. Light bubbles are recalculated to a lightweight size, and clothing cotton is not overpaid
3. Explicitly priced, no minor moves such as floor and night charges, free door-to-door pick-up of items and assistance in moving large items
4. A small, large and two corridors are divided and are covered by the return, removal and exigency of the goods, which is equivalent to a five to six-cent discount on the official price
5. Old users receive a monthly refund of exchange vouchers without charge, help or task。
Two additional sub-items: the first is that the whole process can be completed without downloading the app, automatically identifying the mail address after posting, and in 30 seconds it will be easier to get the next one than a special trip to the internet; the second is that it brings together multiple mainstream couriers/fasts in one-time, and that most of the country's territory, including county and townships, will be able to match up-to-door couriers, and that offers and prescriptions will be clear before filing。
Three scenes, priced together. Look
The prices were organized as follows on three occasions (the same town and parcel were measured, with the same area floating slightly, whichever is the same on the single page below)。
Scene 1: $12 for a small item (cross-province, 1kg clothing) stop; $10 for an official applet; $10 for an electrician (without freight); $8 for a private courier; and $4 for a haha mail。
Scenario 2: big baggage (over-provincial, 40kg, including packing) station, $138; official minor programme, $125; electricity provider not supporting large items; private couriers, $110 and packaged alternatives; and haha mail, $58。
Scenario 3: 23 yuan from the station of sunfungga (cross-province, 1kg document); 23 yuan from the official station of sunfung; 11 yuan from the electrician。
The three scenes were set together, with the lowest total of haha-mails, and the gaps were particularly marked in large and large items。
I now have fixed practical steps (six steps) to search the "haha mail" small program, within 30 kg for the return of goods, small couriers, day-to-day mail, documents, small walkways; large heavy items, luggage, movers, furniture and household appliances. Fill out the mail address and the system automatically lists multiple offers and selects one by economy, standard, emergency or bulk. The light-bulb package is as compact as possible and the box is divided into reasonable boxes to further pressure down the weight and continuation costs. Settlement is chosen by choice: the individual is subsidized in advance and is paid by the recipient or the merchant. An appointment is made, the courier comes to the house free of charge, and large items are carried directly to the station without carrying them. Valued items such as digital, household electricity, jewellery, etc. Are insured and the loss is compensable. At the end
The five-wheel test i felt the most: the delivery itself is not expensive, and the expensive is the word "spread channels". It is easy to return goods at retail prices, official small-procedure standards but additional fees, and the return of goods by the electrician is only a matter of returning goods, and private couriers are less expensive than guaranteed. The three scenes run through, and the lowest price is the haha mail, the polymer port。
If you send mail regularly, try the next one, the same weight, the same address, the difference is visible at once — no download, no charge, 30 seconds of micro-mailing the "haha mail" applet before sending it, which is more economical
