What do I need to do to join the express delivery point?
1, field trip
Before opening a courier station, you need to know the surrounding market environment. We can first judge whether the area is suitable for opening express stations from the occupancy rate of surrounding communities, the daily express parcel volume and whether there is peer competition.
2. Docking express resources
Beginners are going to open a courier station, and the most difficult thing is to let the courier cooperate himself. The premise of cooperation must be mutual trust, and the courier may not believe you at first, because the safety of the courier is related to his vital interests (if the safety of the courier is not guaranteed, he will be fined or even lost his job because of complaints). Don't give up when you encounter some setbacks. You can talk to several couriers at the same time to ensure the quality of service. It is safer to ensure that you can reach two or three express delivery resources in the early stage and then go down. In addition, when reaching cooperation with the courier, it is best to have a written cooperation agreement to constrain and standardize each other's work.
Step 3 Choose a courier brand
Express brands are divided into express direct stores and third-party collection. More popular with customers is the third-party collection platform, which can access multiple express company systems at the same time, and the overall joining system is relatively loose. You can know the development scale and advantages of the tripartite collection platform by searching official website, and then choose the brand that suits you after comparison. Because for beginners, a brand that suits them is conducive to creating better benefits in the future.
Step 4 apply for membership
You can directly consult the staff in official website to learn about the preparation work including the entry process, entry conditions and entry methods. After knowing the relevant entry matters clearly, you can enter the application process under the guidance of the staff. After passing the examination, you can sign a contract, get authorization, and provide professional training guidance to help the station put into operation better.
5. Storage location
The location of the express station directly affects the later operation, and a good store location will bring traffic dividends. It is suggested to choose a location close to the community, such as a street shop near the entrance of the community and a house with a wide view on the first floor, which is convenient for residents to send and receive express delivery and has the advantage of people flow.
6, equipment procurement
After the preparatory work is completed, some materials and equipment need to be added. Such as monitoring equipment, hardware equipment, scanners, printers, promotional materials, door design, etc. , to provide convenient services for express collection and forwarding.
7. Formal operation
After these preparations are done, the station can be put into operation. Doing a good job in daily express service and gaining the recognition of couriers and surrounding residents can not only create a good store reputation, but also benefit the long-term operation of the station.
