The rookie post station was quite profitable a few years ago, but now the competition is becoming more and more fierce, and there is very little money to be made, especially when you send a small amount of mail. I suggest you not take over casually. As for whether we can take over, let's make a simple calculation first.

At present, many people choose to be a rookie station when starting a business, because it is relatively easy to get started in the Bird Station, and now online shopping is very developed, and there are many online shoppers. Therefore, many people think that being a rookie station is very profitable, but it may not be possible in fact.

According to the description of your topic, you can receive 7 pieces a day, but only 15 pieces are delivered. Let's figure out how much money you can earn.

1. Operating income.

1. Receipt income.

7 pieces a day, as you said in your title, the income of each piece is .4 yuan, so the total income of receiving goods a day is 28 yuan.

2. Mailing income

Whether it is a rookie post station or other express delivery points, the real source of income is mainly mailing, because the commission of mailing is relatively high at present. Many rookie post stations can get a single commission from 2 yuan to 5 yuan, a distant place or a heavy single piece, or even get a commission of more than 7 or 8 yuan. We will calculate it according to the average income of mailing in 4 yuan, so 15 pieces a day will be * * *.

3. sideline income.

Many people can't support themselves by express delivery, so many people do sideline business. These sideline businesses are similar to convenience stores, mainly selling items that are closely related to everyone's life. However, the amount of sideline income depends on the traffic of your store and the local consumption, so we will calculate it according to the daily gross profit of 1 yuan.

4. Total daily operating income.

After adding up the above income, your daily gross profit is probably in 44 yuan. Let's calculate it according to 45 yuan, so the monthly income is about 13,5 yuan.

second, operating costs.

the costs and expenses of the rookie station are still relatively high, specifically, there are the following items.

1. Rent.

Your topic doesn't say which city you are in, which lot you are in, and what the rent is, so it's hard for us to infer the specific rent, because the rent gap in different places is very large. For example, in a 1-square-meter shop in a first-tier city, the monthly rent may reach more than 5, yuan, but in a small place, 1, yuan may be enough.

But considering that you receive 7 items a day, your rent should be around 2, yuan.

2, artificial.

Your rookie post station receives 7 items a day, so it is estimated that it needs two people. If you are a couple's shop, of course, you don't need to hire someone, but if you do it alone, you need to hire another person. But as for the amount of labor, it depends on your city. Let's refer to 4, yuan for calculation.

3. communication cost of water and electricity.

Your store is only 1 square meters, and the monthly water and electricity charges should be small. It is estimated that 4 yuan should be enough. The communication fee mainly includes your broadband fee and phone bill, etc. I think 2 yuan a month is enough, so the two expenses add up to about 6 yuan.

4. Other expenses.

Other expenses mainly include your loss cost compensation, etc. For example, if the customer's things are broken in the process of sorting, you must pay compensation. If you are not properly managed and others steal other people's things, you must also pay compensation. This part of the expenses is estimated to account for about 2% of your business, which is about 2 yuan a month.

add up the above expenses, and your monthly cost is about 68 yuan.

third, net profit.

After deducting the cost of about 6,8 yuan from the monthly income of about 135, yuan, your actual net profit is about 6,7 yuan.

This means that if a rookie station has a transfer fee of 8, yuan, you can get your money back in about one year, but I don't think this is cost-effective.

The income of about 6,7 yuan per month is only equivalent to that of a senior migrant worker, but you should know that it's tiring to work in a rookie station. You basically open at 9: a.m. and then close at around 1: p.m. every day, you have to carry all kinds of things and handle all kinds of orders. In fact, this is a tiring thing, so your income may not be proportional to your efforts.

In the future, the rookie station may face some uncertain risks.

In the past few years, rookie stations did make money, but in recent years, with the increasing competition in rookie stations, many rookie stations are not making money now, and in the future, rookie stations may face various uncertain factors. These uncertain risks are mainly reflected in several aspects:

1. The courier fee is decreasing

Now the competition in the express delivery industry is very fierce, and many couriers are constantly reducing the courier fee, which is why many couriers are getting lower and lower.

once the courier fee is further reduced in the future, both the commission for receiving and the commission for sending will be compressed, and the income may be affected.

2. Regulatory uncertainties.

At present, many express delivery companies basically don't send express mail to their homes in order to reduce costs, but this practice may be illegal. If users choose not to store the express in the post station when shopping online, it is illegal for the express delivery company to put the express in the post station by itself. Once users complain, the express delivery company will punish them one by one.

because from a legal point of view, no matter what kind of contract is signed between the courier company and the rookie station, if the recipient does not authorize the rookie station to collect the courier on his own behalf, putting the courier in the rookie station cannot be regarded as delivery.

under this background, in the future, the express delivery company may require the rookie post to deliver the goods to the door, and then the post will have to add more staff, which will inevitably increase the cost and expense, and in the end, the money will only be less and less.

Conclusion

If a rookie post station can only receive 7 pieces a day and only send 15 pieces, then I don't recommend you to take over such a post station easily. The rookie post station mainly depends on sending pieces. If you send few pieces, you can hardly make any money. Even if you can make some money, it is basically hard money, and the income is not directly proportional to the effort.
