And out of cost pressure and management of the need to improve, domestic express industry has also speed up to start from model changes for retail mode reform process.

 

March brewing still to raise prices

 

The express profession prices is not from this autumn wind. The national various industries rising costs in early beginning already highlights, rising oil prices, the rise in the cost of human resources, increasingly DaoBi express industry to raise price.

 

Suitable abundant speed games in official announcement, since October 8 on, suitable abundant speed express the part of the price adjustment, said in response to the part of the circuit, operating and human transportation cost growth too quick to stress, our company after careful study decided that the October 8, 2011 on, on the part of lines express price small revaluation, the am on average by 2% ~ 4%.

In fact, the first to contain prices express company is public yuantong in its September 2 on the announcement that "the current yuantong express the items to express for operating costs, shipping and the increased cost of trucks, head office of the Shanghai operating costs of new business accounting." The results of the accounting as insiders expected, the risk of not price hikes than prices is more serious.

 

Guangzhou logistics association secretary-general a: zhang qiang have a that because of the logistics industry no profits and monopoly characteristic, the price will be a market behavior, the enterprise can obtain reasonable profits. Prices would first impact some operation mode not mature industries, such as electronic business, a free before delivery mode certainly exist great pressure. When the profit space down to cannot afford, electronic commerce logistics cost increase is not across the threshold.

 

"Since last year, people are really in for cost pressure and frustration, but who also dare not first, because who first prices rose, who was still lose outlet wave, the massive customers." Express network chief adviser XuYong analysis think.

 

XuYong analysis says, "the reason is the price the deep mechanism defects, private Courier service price nearly 10 years not to see large price increases, couldn't keep up with the consumer price index (CPI. Also the influence of environment express profession fundamental problems."

 

In spite of the current oil prices policy-induced cut, but in fact many places no. 90 or 93, pricing and supply of the oil shortage, many vehicles were forced to choose add class higher oil, this market change and no real remission express company of pressure.

 

Express rating DaoBi enterprise investment

 

The express industry problem of existence, and electronic business profit pattern existing direct relation. For example, since always, in taobao businessman exist a great part of the seller, for low price competition, the product itself is not money, but through the express business of commission or commission to make money.

 

This pattern of income to express service to break up, further reduce the express company profit margin.

In the future, our marketing mode power

 

According to industry insiders revealed, currently in various cost pressure, the express industry facing most losses. Suitable abundant and yuantong price hikes, is loss caused by pressure.

 

Because the giant now express "stone a" of serious competition homogeneity, who price hikes, who will reduce customer, so most of the hard support. And in early 2012 will be various cost pressure highlights, therefore, industry insiders predict, will express company in the recent move to in May of next year ago, most of the pricing will be in place.

 

Cost management of pressure also touches the express business models adjust. After joining mechanism has the obvious flaw, which reflect the quality complaints more, each network not balanced between 'profits, leading to regional cost and service quality difference is bigger.

 

In addition to move, the original to join model growing express companies, and is now focusing on retail outlets. Such as tianjin, the first half of the inning by mail for "adjust property right structure to standardize enterprise management" special supervision, promote the city into retail outlets express company to join. Half a year, the city of ten join type 144 outlets express company, 20% realize retail, 20% are for property rights transfer.

 

In addition, most of the new network it is almost yuantong, all take retail mode, and the huitong express in shijiazhuang part such as place also began to implement a retail mode.

 

According to the Shanghai headquarters zhongtong express a competent introduces, at present in a city, zhongtong most node is already purely for the retail mode. "The provinces city and the main cities will basically the crown, the trend, the domestic colleague also tend to the big cities of the capital cities and major outlets for retail or holding, so it is easy to management."

 

Data show that as early as 1993 private Courier was born, with no legal status, its business and growth will be not mature market environment, many enterprises lack funds take join way.

 

"The top 500 international express companies, it is all the mode of retail growing up. Join mode is not representative of the advanced direction." XuYong think, by joining mode instead of proprietary give priority to, the reform should be 5 to 8 years in time. "The future of reasonable structure should be a third, and a third, and a third to self-run agency, international practices are self-supporting primarily, supplemented by agency."
