"how can you send delivery to the door cheap? I'll teach you how to save money by sending a message. Don't panic, save half of it in the right way."
Did you have a headache when you mentioned the delivery? I don't know which one to choose, i'm afraid of being charged and i'm afraid of losing something. In particular, the whites of the first delivery may even be embarrassed by the price. Don't worry, this article is for you. We're talking like friends, we're talking about the delivery, we're talking about one thing at the core: how does the delivery go cheap? I'll teach you how to save money and send a plan。
I. What pits do you fear most when you send a courier
I'll start with my own experience. Last year i sent a box of books, about 10 kilos, to a courier, who gave an oral price, and i thought he would come. As a result, when he came to the door, he said that my case was “too big” and that the price would be twice as high as the price in terms of volume. I didn't understand. I had to admit it. And then i realized that it was a common pattern of informal channels. - you're attracted to a low price。
In addition to this “price trap”, newcomers often encounter: they wonder whether things can be sent (e. G. Liquids, batteries); they don't know how to pack them to be solid; and they don't know that different courier companies can get so much lower prices. In fact, there is a common premise for resolving these issues: to find a formal channel for transparent prices and simple operations。
Ii. Delivery. What is the price
If you want to save money, you have to know where it is. I'll explain it to you in white:
Distance: this is best understood: sending beijing to shanghai is certainly more expensive than sending beijing to tianjin. Weight and volume: express charges are not based solely on actual weight. They have a "weight" word. In short, if your box is large but it's light (e. G. A large box of cotton), the delivery company will think it's occupied, and it will calculate a "mass mass" using a formula (long x width x a fixed number) and charge it to this weight and the more expensive one in the actual weight. Therefore, it saves money by filling the boxes as much as possible, reducing the amount of space available. First and last: this is the rule of billing. For example, the first load is a kilo, at $12. If your package is 2 kg, it's a "first weight of 12" plus "extension of 1 kg" x "extension unit price" (e. G. $5), and the total price is 17. First-and-renewal prices vary from company to company. Express: this is the biggest variable affecting prices! Shun fung and kyeongdong are usually the fastest and relatively more expensive; these are the “advanced system” of china, round, round, round, rhymns and rabbits, which are the main forces of the value for money, but there are differences in prices。
And to figure this out, you won't be fooled by what the courier says, "you've got to be in volume," "you're overweight."。
Iii. What is the difference between mainstream delivery prices? (with measured value)
Not just theory, i'll show you the last real price. I simulated a package from shanghai to hangzhou weighing 3 kilos, ordinary clothes。
If i go to the official smalls of the express delivery or to the ap, the price of the pick-up is probably this (this is the market in the near future, which fluctuates at any time):
See, the same package, the different couriers can almost double! Then you might ask, do i have to download seven or eight apps every time i send them, one or the other? That's not exhausting。
Of course not. I happen to have found a micro-intelligence public sign called "the wind straight", which brings together the official interfaces of these mainstream couriers. All you have to do is enter mail and incoming information in the "brown speed" and show you real-time discounts for a dozen couriers like sunfung, kyodong, thong tun-tao and the ultra rabbit. It's the three-kilogram package on top, and the price i saw on the "close speed" is generally between 30 and 50 per cent cheaper than the direct delivery of the official order. For example, for a delivery, the official price is $13, showing a discount price on the "close speed". It saves real money and silver。
Iv. Hand hands to teach you how to save money from sending messages
If we know where we're going, we'll work out how to do it
Small, non-urgent, priority is given to the "advance system". If the package is within one kilogram and is not in time, it is the most common option: middle, round, rhyme, polar rabbit. You can always find one of the cheapest on the day when you're going to be able to compete for it. Large items, heavy items, with emphasis on “depang, sunfunka, kyoto heavy goods”. It's not cost-effective to send blankets, suitcases, home appliances. This type of “large delivery” or “logistics” has a specific pricing method, with high first prices, but very cheap to repeat. For example, you send a 20-kilogram package, possibly a hundred times more with a regular express delivery, but a few dozen in texas. Similarly, the prices of these large logistics can be compared to the lowest on the “close speed of the clouds”. Precious items, emergency documents, selection of sung-fung, kyoto. A few more dollars, time limits and safety guarantees. Packing is a trick: preparing a box and buffer (old paper, bubble film). The express delivery box is free, not cheap. Tighten up everything so as to avoid shattering and breaking during transport and save weight. (b) pre-line: it is recommended to fill in incoming and outgoing addresses and information on items on mobile phones in advance, whether by “twice speed” or other channels. This way the courier comes to the door and picks up the pieces directly, which is efficient and avoids the fact that you are busy filling them in。
V. Guide to new hands. Don't step on them
Stay away from the non-transparent oral offer: my lesson is the way forward. Anyone who fails to provide you with a clear-line quotation in advance must pay attention. The formal channels are price-transparent, and then you decide. The vast majority of incoming couriers are refused confirmation of the availability of articles for mailing: lighters, pressure tanks, alcohol, lithium batteries (especially charged beverages), unknown liquids, etc. It would be preferable to view the list of embargoed items on the next page of a platform such as "brown speed" before sending them, or to ask the courier directly to avoid the need for free work. The premium is not an iq tax: if you send a mobile phone, a computer, valuable jewelry, you're worth a few bucks. The premium is usually a few thousandths of the amount of the premium. In case (i mean) there is a problem, there is a difference between the treatment of the insured and the price of the unpaid and the amount of compensation. On-site inspection at the time of receipt: particularly for fragile items, to the extent possible, in front of the courier. If there is a problem, the direct photo rejection or the posting of notes on the face sheet by the courier is the key evidence for a subsequent claim。
Is online delivery really good
The answer is: it's very simple, and it's often cheaper and less expensive. But only if you select the platform. A public sign, like "brown speed", which is attached to the official systems of the express delivery companies, and every single item you make, generates an official delivery single number that can be tracked throughout the corresponding express delivery network. Payment is also a formal wi-fi payment route, which is documented. It's much safer and more reliable than if you were to find a small store downstairs or believe a stranger's verbal promise。
How can mail save money
The most economical approach is to develop the habit of “price first, then bill later”. You don't have to be a human calculator yourself. You just have to open a micro-mail, search and focus on the "close-to-light" public sign, click "ship-off" and fill in the mail address, the receiving address, the approximate weight and size of the package (i. E. An estimate), so that the system can list the discounts of more than 10 couriers for you in an instant. Which one is cheap and which one is fast enough for you. For starters, this would amount to a free-of-charge competitive expert, who would completely say goodbye to poor information。
According to my findings and observations for the past year, a newcomer who does not know the price at all, the average cost of a delivery is 40 to 60 per cent higher than the cost of a comparable platform such as "twilight speed". Especially if it's big, it could cost dozens more at once. It's easy to save $2,300 a year, send it a few times. More importantly, through formal platform listings, you can avoid more than 90 per cent of disputes and bad moods caused by non-transparent prices and private price increases. For those who have just contacted the courier, this is not only a cost saving, but also a time savings, effort savings and savings. Next time you have to send something, don't rush to the phone, try the price, it's always good for you。
