Domestic express industry and regulators lack the linkage

Following the May and June this year, twice the price, starting at 0:00 on July 11, per ton of gasoline and diesel prices were down 420 yuan, 400 yuan, after the price adjustment in oil prices back to "6 Times" directly reduce the transportation, automotive, aviation the four highest fuel and petrochemical industry costs, but also reduces transportation costs express logistics business.
       Form a national linkage mechanism with oil prices of aviation fuel surcharge, taxi fuel surcharges have been lowered, and let consumers dissatisfied that, after repeated follow the trend of rising domestic express logistics costs "does not follow up with the fall", rhyme and other courier companies express prices were not lowered.
       Express franchisee Zhang said that oil prices "even triple drop" reduced their transit freight costs, the relative increase in profit margins. But oil is concerned, in 2000 the oil price has doubled, but the courier is maintained at 2000 levels, not the courier companies high profits, but due to the vicious competition among courier companies.
       And domestic express delivery price "stays" in contrast, affected by the fall in international oil prices, DHL, UPS, Fedex, TNT and other international express delivery company prices decreased by 23%, 19.5%, 16.5% and 20%.
       China Express Consulting Network Principal Consultant Xu Yong noted that the international courier company with floating pricing mechanism linked with fluctuations in fuel costs. The domestic express itself fuel surcharges are not included, so there is no problem falling. According to cost, labor costs to count, China has been in the international courier costs lowest ranks, vicious competition among enterprises so that the courier cost price structure is irrational, some courier companies, especially franchisee profits from non-payment of social insurance to employees, not to grant High Temperature fees.
Domestic express logistics industry into a "first price die first, not raising their prices to die, die cut prices" development cycle. Xu Yong said that the cost of courier companies is the largest rate of increase in the labor force, the major courier companies are faced with the problem of low recruitment difficulties caused by the treatment. From the perspective of sustainable development of enterprises, the current price of delivery will lead to operational risks, with the continuous increase employee awareness of rights, once a complaint to the labor department, companies need to repay all unpaid insurance. Send and receive heavy goods more affected by domestic logistics company, some companies will make an issue of weight.
       Top international courier companies layout compared to the global supply chain system, China is still in the competition by low-level price competition. Domestic courier companies to sacrifice the interests of employees in order to maintain low-cost carriers, may lead to many social problems, an urgent need out of the low level of competition, the bigger and stronger the brand to the layout of global supply chains.
       Xu Yong said that the future development of logistics and express courier is the inevitable trend in the logistics industry, China should strive to strengthen and expand the brand, the transition from extensive to intensive, transformation and development to provide differentiated by price competition to brand competition, providing door to door service, limited service, value-added services such as personalized service, turned professional competition, competitive integrated logistics, supply chain competition.
       Assistant analysts believe China Electronic Commerce Research Center Yao Jianfang, falling oil prices will directly lead to a decline logistics costs, courier prices should also be some ups and downs with the ups and downs of oil prices. Express only rise, the lack of a unified national monitoring mechanism or linkage mechanism and the main reason. Xu Yong recommendations from the national macro level, should break the railway, aviation, express logistics company fragmented situation, the integrated transport implemented.
