Step one: Choose a store

Before opening an inn, you need to confirm whether there are any inns nearby that compete with yours. When choosing a store, it is best to keep the rent below 3,000 yuan (cheaper if it is in a rural area). The store area should be about ten square meters, and it should be slightly decorated to make it clean and tidy. The location of the store should not be too remote. The entrance is flat. It can be a residence on the first floor of the community, a property office, etc. The higher the occupancy rate in the surrounding area, the better to ensure customer flow.

Step 2: Material preparation

A post station needs to prepare shelves, computers, printers, guns, trolleys, monitoring, fire extinguishers and other equipment. At the same time, pay attention to the monthly Water, electricity, printing paper, etc. are consumed. If you need to haul the goods yourself, you will need a truck.

Step 3: Connect with express delivery resources

The post station needs to cooperate with the courier to obtain the supply of goods. After determining the location of the post station, you can contact the courier responsible for this area and discuss with him to place the express at your post station. Generally speaking, couriers pay attention to the stability and service capabilities of the post station, and they must show their sincerity when discussing cooperation. If it is a rural post station, you need to negotiate with the county-level outlet to determine whether the outlet will be responsible for delivering the express to your post station or whether you will drive to the outlet to pick up the goods. After negotiation, sign a contract with the outlet.

How to connect with express delivery business:

1 Confirm the cooperative relationship

Generally speaking, if the courier does not currently have a courier station, and you can give him Provide good service and price, and the courier will choose to cooperate with you. It should be noted that generally speaking, JD.com and SF Express provide door-to-door delivery. You only need to contact Tongda Department, Jitu and other brands. The courier information can be found by clicking View Logistics in the mobile phone purchase record.

2 Confirm the express price

The express price is divided into two parts: express delivery fee and express delivery fee. When the post station collects the package, the courier will pay the post station a sum of money, which is usually around 0.3-0.7 yuan. The specific price is related to the courier's own delivery fee, surrounding competing products, and delivery volume. However, In the final analysis, it depends on the level of negotiation, as long as the price you mentioned is acceptable to the courier/outlet. When customers send express delivery at the post station, the post station can earn a commission of 3-7 yuan, which is called the express delivery fee. The specific commission is related to factors such as the destination and weight of the package. What needs to be noted here is that if you are delivering express by yourself, you need to invest in vehicle depreciation and gas expenses, so you must negotiate a higher price; in addition, if there are large micro-businesses/factories around you, you can use "small profit" The strategy of "sell more" will win over big customers, thereby increasing shipping profits.

3 Confirm the division of responsibilities

There are still many problems involved in express delivery. The more common ones include who will deliver the goods when the customer requests door-to-door delivery? If it is delivered at the inn, how is the money calculated? How to divide the liability for lost/damaged express items? How much does each bear? These issues must be confirmed clearly in the early stage of cooperation to avoid wrangling in the later stage.

When opening an express delivery station, negotiating the express delivery business is the most critical point. If you can win the business of at least 3 express delivery brands, you can survive very well. Of course, if you want to make more profits in the future, you can negotiate More express delivery brands.

Step 4: Selection of the post system

The choice of the post system is particularly important. It is directly related to the overall work efficiency. If you choose a system built on a small platform, the functions will be incomplete. , errors in scanning, incomplete express delivery records, etc. are prone to occur, which not only delays working time, but may also result in delay fines due to delayed data return.
