Traditionally, the iron boss who specializes in bulk transportation enters the logistics market of small pieces, while the express company that traditionally only accepts small pieces receives orders of more than one hundred jin of large pieces. With the better and better taste of the "fat meat" in the logistics market, there is a growing tendency for enterprises to "cross the border" to grab each other's market.
Ordinary express delivery people all know that, in the past, if you want to send a few tens or hundreds of kilograms of "big pieces", the delivery company to pick up the goods will be basically rejected, only to find the postal service or pick up logistics companies to deliver. But then, the express company is willing to take the order. Private delivery giants started trial operation of their general logistics products yesterday, an economic logistics service launched to meet the needs of customers to deliver large or heavier items. Compared with ordinary express, the journey time is a little longer, which takes 2 to 6 days, but the cost is greatly reduced, saving about two-thirds compared with ordinary express. In order to compete with large logistics enterprises for the market, express delivery companies have also transplanted some of their services in express delivery business, such as time of collection, door-to-door service, delivery upstairs, storage of goods, payment collection, price guarantee, order return, entrusted items and SMS notice. Users only need to contact the express company, there will be salesman door, weighing quotation, and time has a certain advantage, users can like express like the logistics transport.
"This is really what we call piece-load logistics. The so-called "bulk logistics" means that when the weight or capacity of a batch of goods is less than one truck, it can be Shared with several other loads of goods. However, at present, the petty logistics industry is subject to a lot of restrictions in terms of the time of goods receiving and sending, and the damage rate is higher in the process of goods transportation. Therefore, there is a strong market demand for high-end logistics for some goods with high value and large volume. Yesterday, fuzhou express industry personnel told reporters that the retail logistics industry is a much larger than express business market. According to the data, the top ten logistics companies in China's market share is only 1.28 percent, but the market size is 7 times to 8 times that of the express industry.
Interestingly, while express companies are competing for logistics, logistics companies are eyeing the cake. China railway express, for example, launched its high-speed express service in April this year, competing with many express delivery companies. Later, with the opening of jiangxi and fujian freight express trains, many people have been under the impression that they only accept whole vehicles and bulk cargo transport business, and railway freight, which has nothing to do with ordinary citizens, has started to receive goods like express companies, as small as a lunch box and a pack of paper diapers, which can now be shipped through railway freight. People in the express industry say that in the future, such "cross-border" competition will become the new normal, and eventually the level of the whole logistics market will be promoted to a new level, and consumers will spend less and less money on logistics.
