Is it free to pick up express delivery? Haha, little brother is so naive! How is a free lunch possible?

Everything is a business routine.

The express company or courier stores the goods at the express station and collects service fees from them. The pick-up person goes to the express station to get the express delivery for free!

How do express delivery stations make money?

Everyone is very curious. Nowadays, more and more express delivery stations are opened.

1. Collect express delivery. The express station collects express delivery from express companies or couriers and earns service fees. Generally speaking, the profit for collecting a piece of express delivery is between 3 and 5 cents. The more express delivery, the more you make.

2. Express delivery. The express delivery station delivers express delivery to merchants and self-employed individuals and earns the price difference. Generally, the price of express delivery is 4 yuan. In some places, the price of express delivery is very low, and there are also prices as low as 1.2 yuan. The specific situation is subject to the actual local conditions.

3. Sideline income. Making money simply by collecting and delivering express delivery is relatively narrow. How to develop sideline income is also an issue that everyone needs to consider. Nowadays, we see people combining daily supermarkets, convenience stores, fruit shops, etc. with express delivery stations to convert the flow of people picking up packages into the flow of customers in the store to achieve double income generation!

4. Advertising revenue. There are basically only a few of them, but as express delivery stations will occupy an important position in convenience services in the future, advertising in nearby business districts is worth developing.

5. Other channels. Eggs cannot be put in one basket. Express delivery station owners should consider developing new channels to strive for more express delivery resources.

Express delivery stations are free for pickers, but there is a charge for couriers to store express delivery. At the same time, delivery stations can also carry out express delivery services. There is a corresponding proportion of commission for this business. If this happens one day If the community sends 100 items here, the income will be considerable.

You think this courier has a bunch of express delivery in one car, and there are many more express delivery waiting for you. STO, YTO, Yunda, ZTO, Postal Service, JD.com, Suning.com, SF Express, BEST.

In addition, the express delivery point has a very large flow of people, so you can make some by-products, such as selling steamed buns. This way you don’t have to buy steamed buns elsewhere while getting the express delivery, and you can also increase your income. But one thing is that the business hours are long, and there must be people in the store, because express delivery is available every day, and some people are more anxious, so they have to insist on being open every day, otherwise they will receive a lot of complaints, and business is not good now. When someone looks at it, it is a simple sending and receiving.

But think about it, a person is tied up at the inn every day, unable to go anywhere, picking up items, placing them, and finding items.

I am surrounded by all kinds of people every day. Haha, you are like a star. Everyone knows you in the community. It is easy to do anything. How is your answer? If it is good, please give it a like. This is my first time. A Q&A, thank you all!

There is no such thing as free. It is true that the recipient picks up the express at the express station for free, but the express company has to pay to store the express at the express station.

The so-called express delivery station is generally a courier company that negotiates with existing small supermarkets and shops in residential areas to centrally store express items at a price per item lower than the salesman's delivery fee. , and at the same time, the pickup code is sent to the recipient, and the recipient can pick up the package by himself with the pickup code.

For express companies, the benefits of this delivery method of setting up express stations and allowing recipients to pick up the items themselves are obvious. First, it saves delivery time, and second, it saves delivery costs. The third is to reduce the number of delivery personnel. Another point is that express mail is stored centrally in the express station so that it is not easy to lose.

However, the delivery method of the express company directly placing the express delivery at the express delivery station without the consent of the recipient has recently caused dissatisfaction among many people. Express delivery should originally be delivered by express delivery. The final delivery work is completed only when the courier delivers it to the recipient and signs for it. The express station is convenient for the express company, but for shoppers, the shopping experience is greatly reduced, especially for some valuable and fragile items. If the contents are damaged, disputes may easily arise.

When it comes to how express delivery stations make money, the most intuitive profit comes from the delivery fee or storage fee paid by the express delivery company. Generally speaking, after the express delivery company places the express delivery at the express delivery station, it does not require The express delivery station delivers the goods to your door. Therefore, although the express delivery company pays the express delivery station a small storage fee for each express delivery, as an express delivery station, there is generally no need to add more manpower. It just waits for the recipient to come to pick up the parcel with the pick-up code. Pieces are available. In some relatively large communities, a courier station can still earn three to several hundred yuan a day.

Another way for express delivery stations to make money is to send and receive express items. We usually return goods and send items. Usually the courier comes to collect the items. The courier can earn about 40% of the express fee for each item received. In this way, the express company's policies for express delivery stations are generally more favorable. The express delivery station can probably earn 60 or more of the express fee for each piece of express delivery received. If there are so many shopping enthusiasts in a community, the express delivery station can still earn 60 yuan or more of the express delivery fee every day. There is a lot of postage difference.

The profits that express delivery stations can earn from express delivery are nothing more than the above two items. With the increasing volume of express delivery business, operating express delivery stations has gradually become a popular industry, which seems to be inconspicuous. Dew, its benefits cannot be underestimated.

On the surface, pickup is free. This is for the user. On the other hand, the courier places the express at the post station and pays the post station fee according to the quantity. At the same time, the user sends the package at the post station. The post station earns the middle difference, which is the most basic income point of the post station.

What you didn’t expect is that based on this basic profit point, the flow of people who come to the post station to pick up packages every day is the focus of the post station’s operation. With this fixed flow of people, more monetization methods can be developed.

1. The main profit points of express collection points:

1. Collecting packages

The main purpose of collecting packages is that the express delivery station charges the courier. Couriers make money on their hands. It costs about 0.5 yuan to collect a single parcel. If you receive about 400 parcels every day, your monthly income will be about 6,000 yuan.

2. Sending parcels

You charge the user to send parcels to you. Usually, you need to pay about 8 yuan to send parcels at express delivery stations. After that, the courier comes to pick up the package. Because the express station has long-term cooperation with the courier, it can pick up a large number of packages at one time and the price is relatively favorable. Generally, a single item only costs 3-4 yuan. In this way, there is a difference between the two fees, and you can earn about 5 yuan for a single package. If you send 20 packages per day, your monthly income will be around 3,000 yuan.

2. Develop other business models

The profit points of express delivery collection points are not only the collection and delivery of parcels, but also the income from traffic monetization. Picking up express delivery can gather passenger flow at the post station, and then converting the passenger flow can effectively increase profit margins. Specific operations include opening supermarkets, developing other business models, providing community services, etc.

For example

After you have information about 2,000 households and nearly 5,000 people in the community, in addition to express delivery, you can talk to merchants doing business in the community about WeChat Moments to distribute advertisements on their behalf. An advertisement costs 10 yuan per day, or you can post promotional posters at your express delivery station, and you can earn a conservative monthly income of 500 yuan.

At the same time, you can set up a community WeChat group to do community e-commerce and earn commissions by sharing product links every day. If you set up a corporate WeChat group, up to 2,000 people can join. Don’t just post advertising links. It must be for convenience. Establish a WeChat group for express delivery and earn a conservative monthly income of 1,000 yuan

3. Become a regional partner

If you choose to become a regional partner, you will be able to enjoy the exclusive regional agency With authority, you can introduce supplier resources, connect with advertisements, and be responsible for the investment promotion work of stations in the region.

You are responsible for all the site franchise work in the area. You have the final say on how much money you can make. There is a lot of room for profit improvement under this model.

Nowadays, there are more and more users shopping online. As long as the express delivery station is well connected with express delivery resources, the number of parcels collected and sent every day is actually very stable.

If there are festivals such as Double Eleven or Double Twelve, the number of packages will be greater, and the profits earned by express delivery stations will definitely be higher.

Be able to cleverly combine post-business models to open stores, which can create huge commercial value in the later stage.

In a profit-driven market, no one will do unprofitable business. The increasing number of express delivery collection points is an inevitable trend in the development of the express delivery market. Although on the surface, what everyone sees is that express delivery is free, and users can get packages without paying. But in fact, there are multiple channels for express delivery stations to make money, especially for regional partners who are express delivery collection points. The profit margin is still considerable.

I am a courier, and let me tell you, courier stations also require rent. Hiring someone to work on duty also requires a salary, and you must make a profit. If you need money to pick up packages, he will definitely not be able to open it. Originally, it would have been too much to not deliver the goods by courier. Customers would still have to pay for the goods to be picked up by themselves. If complaints were made, there would be no courier delivery to the inn.

The profit of the post station depends on the money given by the courier. The courier station scans the warehousing system and sends a message to the customer. Pick up the package with the pick-up code. How much the courier pays depends on your quantity. You can do it yourself. Talking about it, small companies like Tmall, JD.com, Suning, SF Express, and Deppon are generally more expensive, and you have to make phone calls yourself. I am from Tmall. It usually costs 30 cents for four links and one extension, and some only cost 20 cents. Yes, but our Tmall only costs 50 cents, and half of it is taken away in one fell swoop. I won’t let it go unless I have to.

I opened a community express delivery station, which delivers about 200 pieces a day, one piece 3 cents. To be honest, 200 pieces a day, which costs 60 yuan. The rent is 30,000 yuan a year. I can’t even make the rent. I sell some things on the way so that others can buy some while picking up the express. The express delivery takes one day. A dozen or so can earn dozens of dollars. The courier station is too tiring. It has not had a break for a year, so I only have a few days off during the Chinese New Year. I usually have something urgent to do when I have to go out, which is very troublesome. If someone wants to pick up the courier, it can't be closed. Once my child got sick and had to go to the hospital. I had no choice but to write a note and hang it on the door to explain the situation. Everyone understood it, but it was really hard to do.

The express delivery station is free for customers. But couriers are charged, and they make the difference. Express delivery stations are now an industry that exists in the cracks. At present, the community near me has started the express locker industry.

Now at the express delivery stations in my community, I found that they have all started selling things and engaging in group buying. Our community is moving slowly, but now express delivery stations are moving towards the supermarket industry. I guess the express delivery industry is a short-lived industry. The express delivery stations I saw in the community I went to today are all monopolized by the property of that community.

But there is another bigger profit point for the existence of express delivery stations: express delivery! You can make more money by sending express delivery than by receiving it. Think about how much you can earn by sending 100 express delivery items every day.

I now see that many fruit shops in my community have gone bankrupt, but more and more supermarkets and express delivery stations are opening, which shows that these two industries are profitable industries.

With the popularization of smart phones and the Internet, major e-commerce companies have jumped on the fast track to online shopping in recent years. According to statistics, there are now nearly 900 million Internet users shopping online. Such a huge shopping group every day There are tens of millions of express delivery items to be delivered, which has formed a large number of couriers who make express delivery their profession.

As the number of express delivery continues to increase, in order to reduce the burden on couriers and improve the efficiency of delivery, and also to address the pain points of the people who often have to go to work or are away from home for something and cannot collect express delivery in time, the birth of A large number of express delivery stations or express delivery points have been established. In a densely populated community or near a factory, their profits are still very considerable. As far as I know, the express company will give them a fee of 0.5 yuan to 1 yuan for each express delivery. They can also help collect the goods for each delivery. The courier company has to pay him 4 to 5 yuan for each package. These courier stations are usually joint ventures with three companies and one company, so there are quite a lot of express delivery every day.

There is also a collection point. Like in my hometown, there are many such points. They will not even charge the courier company, but they will charge the consignee one yuan when they encounter large items. , as long as they rely on the recipient to buy something in his store when he goes to pick up the goods, it can be regarded as driving the flow of people. For example, my family has been feeling embarrassed not to buy something by the way for a long time, so I say this It plays a very good role in driving customers.

Many rural express delivery services charge a fee.

The rural areas of Yunnan where I live are relatively dark. Not only do they not deliver, they also require the recipient to pick them up in person at the station, and they also charge 4 yuan for each item. The most fearful thing is that merchants like Pinduoduo sell multiple varieties in one store, but they send out one package of each variety because the store does not have the goods at all and only sells them online.

I picked up a courier station before, but now my income has dropped a lot. I used to earn 1 yuan per item, but now it is less than 50 cents. If the courier leaves the item at the express station, he is a courier. If you give me money, if a customer sends a package to you, you will get almost 2 yuan in profit. An express delivery station can handle at least several hundred packages a day! So all you earn is hard-earned money.
