After they have been prepared, but whether such as Taobao business or for the delivery of express company, still did not expect" singles day" consumption binge. Taobao disclosed data display, the volume of transactions reached 5200000000 yuan, shipment of 28500000, 80% of which is made up of 5 private express delivery giant share.

"Singles" crazy

A courier company management says, such tasks, only those with a national network of express enterprises have the ability to undertake. But commercial electricity spurt let express enterprises some unpleasant, singles day behind the war against" singles day" business promotional opportunities, express delivery companies have had to prepare.

Last day, express delivery orders than usual 30%, fourth days, warehouse began turnover does not come, parcel and do not go out, full follow-up goods sooner, couldn't get in, burn themselves out.

This year the festival and the distance at two months, express delivery enterprises start to prepare for it.

Alibaba senior sources, beginning in September, Taobao with express company leadership including business backbone set up a project team to prepare for war, festival.

" Even the Chinese postal with Taobao will open, is the theme of" logistics industry for double 11", can be seen throughout the industry for all this attention, we also be overwhelmed by an unexpected favour." He said.

" Daily of the first finance and economics" was informed that, a week before the festival, the State Post Bureau and China Express Association held a response to the holiday business going, Shen, flexible, pass, Huitong, rhyme, CCES, EMS, Hainan Airlines, and daily post 9 to mobilize a total deployed about 40000 express, 6000 sorter, the use of vehicles more than 24000000 vehicles, route 340 bus terminal.

Looks very good preparation, but the reality so they panicked. Gold served as group says, a few days after the package volume, in handling an average of 1100000, the peak reached 1600000, an increase of 80%, the company had to move nearly 200 temporary workers, many people from 3 pm till the very next day at 9 in the morning, in the chair after a good night's sleep to continue doing. He said, after a few days at two or three in the morning, a major express delivery company distribution center still lights brightly lit, second to first help employees, executives are basic inputs to cargo handling work.

Last week of almost 24 hours a day 7, parcel came at the hands of consumers, did not appear large area burn themselves out last year, they finally relieved.

Joy and concern

Gold served as group said this spring, comparable, even more difficult than the spring adjustment.

The biggest difficulty is unpredictable. He said, not clear business package volume and the flow of goods, in consideration of the cost under the premise must meet two arbitrary points between the sending service, one day can handle, may cause the whole network paralysis.

This is commercial electricity after the blowout conditions. The express company, Taobao website created chances, but also brought pressure.

A private courier company executives said, many large express enterprise 's Taobao and other packages, has accounted for the company's delivery package volume 60% ~ 70%. Five or six years ago, they may not come into contact with business concept.

In order to maximize the Shanghai Express as an example. Shen Tong in 2007 August official involved in business logistics, in August of that year, Shen Tong one day about 450000 pieces, of which 60000 pieces in Taobao; in December the following year, Shen Tong daily business volume reached 900000, Taobao amounted to 550000; in 2009 December, handling an average of 1300000, Taobao amounted to 700000; in December last year, the daily average of 1800000 pieces Taobao, accounted for 1000000; the end of year 10, Shen Tong daily business volume of 3200000, Taobao business amounted to 2500000 2007 August, Taobao business has been 40 times.

" Our internal statistics, at present the entire business operations accounted for 80% of total Shen through business, this growth will be amounted to 100%." Shen Tong express marketing director Xia Zubin said.

More and more express delivery companies have joined, ecommerce site delivery price began to be more and more low pressure.

A private courier company high level discloses to the reporter, as the electronic business site delivery than ordinary commercial delivery of large profits, such as for Taobao delivery price and seller separately agreed, many buyers to purchase products to pay the express fee does not belong to the express company, and with the sellers into.

For example, buyers to pay the 5 yuan express fee, courier companies to take only 4 yuan, loss of a great piece of profits. The high recall, in 2001 just into the express delivery industry, industry gross margin was 100% ~ 200%, now reduced to less than 10%, because on the one hand labor and oil prices led to rising operating costs, on the other hand, because the competition is a high degree of homogeneity, do not go on the price.

Shrinking profit margins, inhibition of the courier company 's network, service and information technology upgrading and expansion, and to bring in another embarrassing: despite calls to delivery demand soared, but the delivery network overload, many express a feast on the easy to ruin.

The senior said anxiously, Taobao and other business delivery quantity increases the speed of 100%, and express company is at most 30% ~ 50% of development and expansion speed cannot meet the needs of business website, originally as a maximum support of logistics system, the future may become the biggest bottleneck.
