Recently, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department of Jiangsu Province organized a seminar on the revision of "Residential Design Standards". It is planned to revise the 217 edition of "Residential Design Standards of Jiangsu Province" and make it clear that the location of intelligent express boxes should be reserved. In this regard, experts in the industry believe that this news is good for the express delivery industry and consumers. However, after reserving the position, who will build and operate?

The "standard" will be revised or set aside as "mandatory"

Earlier, it was reported in the media that the seminar on the revision of the "Residential Design Standard" mentioned that "smart express boxes should be set up in residential quarters in combination with the entrance and exit of residential quarters or property management, and the delivery port of smart express boxes should be set outside the access control", which is a guiding standard. In the new version of "Residential Design Standard" to be revised, "appropriate" may be changed to "should be reserved".

On May 21st, the editor-in-chief of the Residential Design Standard, Nanjing Changjiang Urban Architectural Design Co., Ltd., told the reporter that it is not a new measure to set up intelligent express boxes at the entrance and exit of residential quarters. As early as the 217 edition of Jiangsu Residential Design Standard, it was clearly mentioned that it is still too early to talk about whether the new version of the standard will become a "mandatory reservation" at this point.

The source said that the new Jiangsu Residential Design Standard has not yet been released, and even the draft for comments has not yet come out.

Yancheng practices synchronous delivery of smart letter boxes and new residential areas

"We were not invited to the seminar, so how can we modify it without knowing?" A related person from Jiangsu Postal Administration said that Yancheng has been exploring the smart letter box (the function of receiving letters and express delivery in one) as a standard for new communities and a supporting project for the renovation of old communities.

as early as 215, many departments in Yancheng jointly issued the notice on accelerating the construction of intelligent letter boxes and postal service rooms in residential quarters, proposing to upgrade the traditional letter boxes to intelligent letter boxes, integrating the functions of receiving, delivering letters and express delivery. The Dingcheng Community, Zhongnan Century City, Yancheng, delivered in 218, has set up an intelligent letter box at the entrance of the community, with ***588 grids, ranging from large to small. During the construction of the residential area, the intelligent letter box was built synchronously and delivered synchronously with the residential area.

At present, 116 groups of intelligent letter boxes have been built in 2 communities in Yancheng. The government-funded construction mode was adopted, and a third-party operating enterprise was hired to operate. The government gave the operating enterprise more than 1 million operating funds for five years.

The traditional letter boxes in Nanjing's new residential areas have become chicken ribs

In Nanjing, many new residential areas are still equipped with traditional letter boxes. The reporter visited and found that the traditional letter boxes in the new communities southwest of Nanjing River, such as Langshi Xihuafu and Minmetals Chongwen Jincheng, have all become furnishings.

In No.1 residential area of Zizhulin, an old residential area in Nanjing, another model is being piloted-China Post Express built the first intelligent letter box in Nanjing here. "The property provides the venue free of charge, and the rest of the expenses are borne by us. Unlike the Yancheng model, we build and operate it." According to the relevant person in charge of Express Express Nanjing, the intelligent letter box is a "dual-use cabinet", and its hardware and technical requirements are much higher than those of ordinary express cabinets, so it is also much more expensive.

It is reported that by the end of 219, 818 groups of intelligent letter boxes have been built in Jiangsu, with nearly 1, outlets. A related person from the Provincial Postal Administration said: "We are promoting the upgrading of the' traditional letter box' in the old community to the' intelligent letter box'. The former is to open the door with a key, and the latter is to get the express by scanning the code, picking up the code or the magnetic card convenient for the elderly."

As for the phenomenon that the traditional mailbox is still built in the new community in southwest of Hexi, the person said frankly: "Developers need to consider the cost, after all, the smart mailbox is much more expensive. This time, the housing and construction department met to discuss the mandatory reservation of smart letter boxes in new communities, which is also something we have called for for many years. "

who will build, operate and maintain the unavoidable problems after reserving the position?

Zhang Le, general manager of Yiou Jiangsu, said that from guiding standards to "mandatory reservation", the policy terms about express cabinets are gradually becoming clear, which is a positive phenomenon for industry development and even consumers.

Zhang Le believes that although the property has been laid out in advance in terms of infrastructure, whether the property should directly build and manage the express cabinet or the logistics enterprise should take over the responsibility in the later stage is a problem that needs to be further explored.

In this regard, he put forward an innovative idea: the express cabinet enterprises should lay cabinets and system operation and maintenance within a controllable cost range, and the property company should pay a certain operation and maintenance management fee (saving the cost of the property company's own construction), and supervise the service of the express cabinet enterprises, which can not only solve the income problem of the express cabinet enterprises, but also solve the consumer satisfaction problem to a certain extent.

An insider in the express cabinet industry believes that most properties built by themselves have no strength, and government investment involves the property rights of fixed assets. Who will do the post-operation and maintenance, especially the post-maintenance cost, needs to be clarified by the competent department.

The reporter learned that in fact, as early as 218, Jiangsu issued the first "Standard for the Construction of Intelligent Letter Boxes for Residential Buildings", which requires new residential quarters to design and build intelligent letter boxes simultaneously. The total number of smart letter boxes (groups) should not be less than the number of residential households. However, this standard is still in the stage of encouraging implementation and is not mandatory.

people in the industry believe that with the continuous growth of express delivery business, it is very necessary for Jiangsu to revise the Residential Design Standard, and the space reserved for intelligent express delivery boxes must become a mandatory standard to promote the planning of express delivery boxes.
