Internal unity of the four private courier prices, price increases will inevitably be suspected of alliance. For prices and biggest natural response is to e-commerce market. What the impact of price rise on the number of e-commerce, the reporter also made a survey.

Between us and the courier company is also to communicate the hope (which is several courier companies) be able to delay price increases, and we will also step up its own logistics and distribution capabilities. "
For these large-scale e-commerce sites, capital is more abundant, logistics and distribution chain more standardized, relative to the courier company, when the negotiations also have more capital, price hikes trend may be able to delay or even fail to rise, then for Taobao traditional e-commerce platform for a single day, more than 3 million transactions, most of them are small and medium businesses, and their daily operations will be affected by it, whether the consumer needs to spend more money?
Taobao reporter found a bit on the random and found that the vast majority of merchants still express the cost of the initial price of 5 yuan / piece, but there are a lot of businesses the cost of courier quietly changed, one to do the memory business, businesses told Reporter: "Originally, we express fee is 5 yuan / piece, the most recent prices have gone up, so we put the delivery price adjustment for the 6 yuan, and this is quite upset and can only be to allow consumers and our shared commitment to this additional costs. "laptop backpack, while the sales of a crown of sellers will increase delivery costs 8 yuan,
Business is so explained: "Because the original laptop bag on the overweight, it is necessary to pay an additional cost of overweight was originally only a few dollars to subsidize their own, and now prices, and you'd like to supplement the cost even more, and consumers in Taobao point of view is low in price, for us, very thin profit margins, and only slightly up a bit. "In the interview, there are a lot of businesses in similar situations. Out of the seller even posted such a notice: "DHL has been a recent rise in delivery prices have changed, we can not let me subsidizing DHL bar and hope that buyers understand."
Many businesses and consumers alike have questioned the prices of courier companies such behavior, some people even think that this price increase was aimed at e-commerce, especially in Taobao come. This reporter also interviewed Yuantong Express Shanghai branch of a relevant person in charge, he told reporters: "Oil prices are now expensive, some places also the bad weather conditions, which have greatly improved our logistics and distribution process costs, So, before choosing the price hikes. "As for the outside world questioned this gentleman did not recognize such an argument.
Prices on the announcement a few days after the express delivery and rhyme pass up courier companies so that Taobao has released a notice the seller assured: "for the express price of Taobao sellers would still be higher than previously published in Taobao Logistics Pricing. "seem to the original price alliance, differences began to emerge. This reporter also interviewed the relevant person in charge of Taobao, said: "and Taobao contracted courier companies do not just price adjustment this four courier companies, the number 20 more than four price increases will not affect Taobao business, sellers, consumers can choose according to the actual situation in the appropriate courier company. "
Journalists in the name of the customer to call Yuantong Express salesman, he also said that the amount based on delivery to give certain concessions, not entirely in accordance with the provisions of the company to operate. Last 1 week, some readers would like this newspaper, and they have received a lot of small courier company's promotional materials, claiming that courier costs than in the pass, tact and so should be cheaper. Similarly, a courier, or even a company, why is there such a price differences?
This one industry source said: "Although a number of courier companies had strongly emphasized the impact of price increases is subject to the cost, but look at the current situation, after the formation of linkage prices express camp, attitudes, differences emerged. Taobao different companies right attitude is different from the same company in different parts of the prices of the situation, so that the status quo is also not surprising: courier companies of various sizes, survival status of different, there are also differences in the expected thing. such a situation also gave some small Express has the opportunity to develop, you can attract some price-sensitive customers.
In fact, the real initiative or at the hands of consumers. After all, many consumer-oriented online shopping fancy is relatively low price, while the delivery costs will certainly affect the prices of some consumer confidence in online shopping. "
For private courier, the dependence on e-commerce is still very high. They had to rely on low-cost strategy to grab market share, and now despite the formation of a certain scale, but not from e-commerce, after all, a highly competitive industry, wanted to price increases, but also do not want to lose their customers is obviously very difficult to succeed . Old Landmark activist newspaper columnist, said: "Private Express prices is not an exaggeration, compared to EMS, the current price is still cheap, but in recent years, for express delivery, complaints on the increase, I believe that as a private courier for
E-commerce market bears most of the logistics and distribution functions, prices can, but the related services should also make an upgrade. "
