Expert: Beijing Express will return to normal as soon as next Monday

On Double 11 in 2022, the express delivery industry did not explode. As a result, on Double 12 in one month, express warehouses in some cities in China exploded, especially in Beijing.

In the past, intra-city courier delivery that could be received in one or two days is now normal with delays of up to three or four days, while many courier delivery services to Beijing cannot even be placed at all. As well as e-commerce platforms and merchants, it is a nightmare, which also highlights the fragility of the infrastructure of express delivery, which urgently needs to be fully upgraded in the future.

In fact, China is able to own the three major e-commerce platforms of Ali, JD.com, and Pinduoduo. Express delivery as an infrastructure is indispensable. 100 million pieces nearly doubled, and the industry’s total revenue also exceeded the trillion yuan mark for the first time, reaching 1,033.23 billion yuan.

Therefore, without the support of the express delivery industry, there would be no prosperity of the e-commerce industry. This is an important new type of infrastructure, which has a great relationship. The recent explosion of express delivery is mainly due to two aspects. The express delivery that has not been dispatched during the November blockade , and the rapid increase in express delivery after the release in the last half month, the superposition of new and old packages, but encountered a shortage of manpower for couriers and sorters. embarrassing situation.

For e-commerce companies, the epidemic has already led to a lack of physical book business, and the disorder of express delivery has led to consumer dissatisfaction and increased return costs. As a result, small and medium-sized enterprises that have just seen the spring breeze of opening up have suffered another unwarranted disaster.

From the perspective of the operation mode of the express delivery industry, because the express delivery industry has a very clear off-peak season, in order to reduce costs, leading companies including JD Logistics often use human outsourcing to solve the sorting problem. The transit warehouses in China employ “temporary workers” to a large extent. In fact, there are cases in the previous flow adjustment. It is conceivable that there must be an extreme shortage of sorters in the past week, and the volume of express delivery has not decreased but increased. In this Under the current situation, we have to face stricter nucleic acid requirements, which creates problems.

Not only that, although major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have been substantially liberalized, high-risk areas have not disappeared. For example, once consumers in Beijing are in the designated high-risk areas, they will never receive or send express delivery at all. It can be forwarded to other addresses. Fortunately, in recent days, many high-risk areas have also unsealed express delivery. Shanghai and Beijing have directly cleared high-risk areas, and the problem of unable to send express delivery will be alleviated.

In the past two days, the State Post Bureau has also paid attention to this problem and provided special guidance to express delivery companies. However, to solve the problem of slow delivery or even non-delivery of express delivery, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on the Post Office and express delivery companies, and higher levels are needed. For example, under the new epidemic prevention situation, there should be tolerance for the epidemic prevention requirements of express warehouses, and measures should be taken for couriers and truck drivers, and even sorting “temporary workers”. Life is comfortable, and the express delivery can return to normal as soon as possible.

In short, the current Chinese economy is largely based on efficient logistics and high-speed express delivery. This is the foundation of the skyscraper of the economy. The base of logistics and express delivery is more solid, and you must not do stupid things that self-destruct the base.
