Characteristics of express delivery
The characteristic of express delivery is his word "fast". It can transport the goods to the destination in a very short time, but the transportation volume is relatively small and the freight rate is high. At the same time, because we have to go through different stations and go through many twists and turns, it is easy to lose or damage goods, and the safety factor is relatively low.
Compared with ordinary modes of transportation, they are very different: the freight of express delivery is generally much higher than that of ordinary modes of transportation, which is due to its pursuit of timeliness and increased cost and added value to meet customers' demand for time.

Operation mode of express delivery company
Independent operation
For example, SF in China, from Guangdong to Hongkong to Shanghai and Jiangsu, all SF companies are invested by the same SF company, and the bosses behind them are only SF shareholders. It is precisely because of the same investment, unified management and good service from top to bottom, whether in the quality of express delivery or in the service attitude, because the same standards are implemented, there is a clear affiliation, centralized management and a clear inspection system. The disadvantage is that the cost is high, so the price is higher than other non-self-operated peers.
join
Most domestic express delivery companies use this method, such as Shentong, Dayun and Tong Yuan. The headquarters of the company invests in resources such as general warehouse, distribution center, trunk transportation, marketing, operation management and network platform. However, all or part of the sending and receiving companies in various places are joined by other courier companies. Joining companies need to pay the joining fee to the head office every year and share part of the operating expenses. But in general, the cost of joining is less than that of starting your own business. This is one of the advantages, and there is another great advantage, that is, rich contacts and more points can improve the scope of customers and the visibility of the company.
cooperate
The mode of cooperation is neither self-operated nor joining, and several independent express delivery companies cooperate with each other to carry out business. Several express delivery companies cooperate in this way, which is similar to joining, but not completely joining, because all companies have equal relations and are based on the contractual spirit of mutual cooperation and development. The advantage is flexibility, but the disadvantage is poor stability, which seems to be based on self-employment and joining. It depends on the management consciousness, level and ability of each cooperative company and its future planning.
