Express collection point is a platform for professional collection and distribution.
Some customers prefer to send express delivery to the station/counter for safety (the demand of some women living alone) and convenience (frequent business trips or office workers). In addition, in the high epidemic stage, there are counters/stations, which can effectively reduce the risk of epidemic infection compared with direct home delivery.
For the courier, the current delivery volume far exceeds his ability. If you want to complete the delivery within a limited time, you can only exchange money for time, pull the parcel to the post office, and the post office will collect it, ending the limited time assessment ~ ~
Therefore, for couriers and customers, the existence of express collection points is very valuable!
Now, opening a courier station is a very good choice.
Is express mail profitable?
The profit of express delivery station is not big, depending on the volume of express delivery business. The more business you talk about, the more you earn.
The specific profit model is as follows:
1, fast charge:
When the post office collects the parcel, the courier will pay the post office a sum of money, called the courier fee, which is generally around 0.4-0.6 yuan. Details need to be discussed with the courier. Most communities can reach about 400 couriers on average every day.
2. Express delivery fee:
The customer delivers the courier on behalf of the courier station, and the courier station can earn a commission of 3-5 yuan (related to the destination and weight of the parcel). Generally speaking, the post office sends 30-50 pieces a day, and the township post office sends more than this.
3. Derived income:
Including supermarkets, local life services, community groups, advertising light boxes, etc. Derivative business needs to make money like express delivery. However, it is not that simple to do it well. You should draw a portrait of your customers to understand their needs and the competitive products around them.
However, what I can tell you clearly is that the express delivery station is definitely not as profitable as opening a tea shop or restaurant, but its advantages are less investment, low cost, low threshold and low risk ~ ~
1, low cost: 20,000 to 30,000 yuan can be invested.
To open a courier station, the storefront only needs a dozen square meters, and the rent can be controlled within a certain range. Materials need shelves, fire extinguishers, printers, code stickers, monitoring and other equipment, which can be bought in the second-hand market. Plus monthly fixed consumption, such as utilities, electronic bills, SMS fees, etc. You can open a courier station with a one-time investment of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is cheaper in rural areas and can be done around 10,000 yuan, costing more than ten yuan.
2. Low threshold: there is no rigid requirement for geographical location/decoration.
Other entrepreneurial projects in the market, such as tea shops, restaurants, clothing stores, etc. , need exquisite decoration and superior location to get a certain flow of people; However, the express station has no rigid requirements for decoration, as long as the location is convenient.
Of course, if you have the conditions, I suggest you stay in the shops along the street, on the street, at the village entrance and other places where users can easily find them.
3. Low risk: the income can be expected and it will not go bankrupt easily.
The income of other entrepreneurial projects is unpredictable, which is equivalent to crossing the river by feeling the stones. Only if you have strong operational ability can you live well. No matter how good it is, in case of accidents, such as epidemics and floods, it may lead to the end of closing the door.
As for the courier station, before you open it, you can predict the income of the courier station by communicating with the courier. At the moment when the express delivery industry is booming, as long as you take good care of customers and reduce complaints, the postal service will basically not close down, and the income will definitely increase with the continuous growth of the express delivery business in China, of course, only slightly.
4, easy to use: regardless of age/education, you can use your smartphone.
