A few years ago, it can be said that it was lying down to make money, but now, express delivery stations are everywhere, business is shared, and the profit of express delivery is less, and everyone generally has no ability to operate derivative business, which leads to low profit or even no profit for many stations, which is the most fundamental reason why so many stations are transferred.

How can I make money by opening a courier station? If you want to make more money by opening a courier station, there are nothing more than the following points:

1, talk more about several brands.

The basic income of the courier station comes from collecting and sending. The more brands you talk about, the more business you have, and the more income you will naturally get. At present, the consignment fee in the market is about 0.4-0.6 yuan, and the commission for consignment fee is generally 3-6 yuan (related to the destination and weight of the package).

2. Overlay value-added services

Now, many express collection points not only provide express delivery services, but also provide comprehensive services in order to expand revenue. For example, we can expand the business models of community group buying, daily retail, advertising, printing and copying, and express delivery stations can develop other sideline businesses while managing their main business well, so as to obtain higher profits.

3, equipped with intelligent hardware

In addition to profitability, cost control is also extremely important. General rent is uncontrollable, but labor costs can be reduced to some extent. At the beginning of opening the store, it is suggested that every 500 pieces should be equipped with 1 employee, but in the later stage, an integrated delivery instrument can be added. After cultivating the habit of self-service delivery, the cost of finding-delivery can be passed on to customers. At that time, 1000 pieces can be equipped with 1 employee, which greatly reduces labor costs.

4. Strengthen customer service

Although the business is discussed with the courier, and the courier gives you the storage fee, if you don't care about the customer's feelings, it may lead to a lot of complaints. Over time, the courier will look for the next station and give up cooperation with you. In addition, in order to better stabilize the business volume, it is suggested that you also strengthen communication and contact with couriers, for example, occasionally invite them to have a meal or something ~

How to open the courier station? Preparing stores-docking business-purchasing materials-selecting appropriate management systems.

First, the store location

The most important thing in site selection is to look at the three points of passenger flow, approximate package volume and whether there are peers. Choose a good location, not too remote, with a flat entrance. Rent a house of more than 10 square meters, and the rent will be about several thousand yuan (if it is a rural house, the rent will be cheaper), and then decorate it a little to be clean and tidy.

Second, discuss business

The post station needs to cooperate with the courier to obtain the supply. After determining the location of the post station, you can contact the courier in charge of this area (you can click on the mobile phone purchase record to view the logistics and find the information of the local dispatcher), discuss with him to put the pieces in your post station, and then charge him a certain fee. Because the courier has a time limit for delivery, if there are no other post stations around, the courier is usually happy to cooperate with you. Generally speaking, couriers pay attention to the stability and service ability of the station, and show their sincerity when talking about cooperation.

If it is a rural post station, it is necessary to discuss with the county-level outlets to determine whether the outlets are responsible for delivering the courier to your post station or driving to the outlets to pull the goods themselves, and sign a contract with the outlets after the discussion.

Third, material preparation

A post station needs to prepare shelves, computers, printers, guns, trolleys, monitors, fire extinguishers and other equipment. At the same time, it should pay attention to the consumption of water, electricity, printing paper and so on every month. If you need to pull the goods yourself, you need a truck.

Fourth, choose the management system

To be a post station, choosing an inventory management system is the core. Choosing a good system can not only greatly improve office efficiency, reduce labor costs, but also reduce fines! When choosing, you need to compare the requirements of major systems, such as whether you need a deposit, whether you have any requirements for doorplates, equipment and decoration. It is best to choose a powerful system that does not need to join the fee and deposit to deal with various business scenarios in the future.
