1, with a fixed business place.
To open a courier station, you must have a fixed business place, with an area of about 20㎡, and the location should not be too biased. It is best to choose the 1 floor of shops or residential buildings along the street. If you only do express delivery business, just keep it clean and tidy. If it is a express supermarket, it is best to adopt the mode of "front store and back warehouse", and customers can buy some snacks when picking up express delivery, so as to increase the turnover of the store.
2. Have the ability of docking business.
After determining the location of the post station, you can contact the courier in charge of this area. The contact information of the courier can be found in the logistics records. After contacting the courier, discuss putting the mail in your post office with him.
Because there is a time limit for courier delivery, if there are no other post stations around, couriers are generally happy to cooperate with you. Generally speaking, the courier values the stability and service ability of the site most, and should show his professionalism and sincerity when talking about cooperation.
Personally, it is best to talk about more than three express brands, so that the daily income can be guaranteed.
3. Have professional express delivery equipment.
A post station needs to prepare shelves, computers, printers, guns, trolleys, monitors, fire extinguishers and other equipment. At the same time, we should pay attention to the consumption of water, electricity and printing paper every month. If you need to pull the goods yourself, you need a truck.
4. Have a professional storage system.
Choosing a good system can not only greatly improve office efficiency, reduce labor costs, but also reduce investment fines. When choosing, you need to compare the requirements of major systems, such as whether you need a deposit, and whether you have requirements for house numbers, equipment and decoration. It is best to choose a powerful system that does not need to add fees and deposits to deal with various business scenarios in the future.
What do beginners need to pay attention to when opening a courier station?
1, docking express resources: Express resources are the core content of the survival of express stations, and how to talk about cooperation with express companies, express outlets and couriers is particularly important. When docking express resources, we must talk about several express brands as much as possible. The basic income of the express station comes from the collection and distribution. The more brands you talk about, the more business you have, and the more income you will naturally get.
2. Keep the store clean and tidy: the daily workload of the express station is not light, and the daily package volume is at least 300 tickets, sometimes more. The express delivery is arranged neatly, and the picking process is simple and orderly, which can leave a good impression on customers and establish a good store image.
3. Control the input cost: The rent of general postal stores is uncontrollable, but the labor cost can be reduced to some extent. At the beginning of opening the store, it is recommended to equip every 500 pieces with 1 employee. However, an intelligent delivery instrument can be added later to cultivate the habit of self-delivery, and 1000 pieces can be equipped with 1 employee.
4. Improve the service level: similar situations such as damaged express delivery, lost parts and missing parts have occurred in express delivery stations for a long time, which is easy to attract complaints. In the face of complaints, we must be patient and solve the problem effectively. In addition, you can think from the customer's point of view. If the customer's package is very big or heavy, you can take the initiative to help deliver it to your door.
