Express services.

  Nowadays, express is really a common business and services for the people. I have not experience any express services here in the Philippines but, I would like to talk about the services of the express companies in China.
  With the rapid economical development, China's online shopping is more and more popular. Thus , it makes the express businesses more and more needed by the people. Whatever the sellers and the buyers of online shopping. The services of express companies benifit the customers around the world. Because people nowadays in China, they buy things online not only limited within China, but also buy things from the overseas. There are several big companies which are professinal in the express services. The very first one is the EMS, Express Mail Service is an international express postal service offered by postal-administration members of the Universal postal Union(UPU). These administrators created the EMS Cooperative in 1998 within the framework of the UPU to promote the harmonization and development of postal services worldwide.As of January 2015, EMS was offered by more than 190 countries and territories worldwide.

  I have to talk about the very own by Chinese local express company which is Shun Feng Express. SF Express, China's largest private delivery services firm in the mid-end market, is expanding its business in the supply chain where it builds e-commerce platforms in the upstream and trying to earn a share of the e-commerce logistics market, while also growing operations at its community stores, the Guangzhou-based Southern Weekly reports. I do like its professional services. Although the service charge of  SF express is the highest among the private express companies.But they do let people satisfied with their servives. Rely on the solid reliability, it is already became the magnate in the service of express business, it occupied the largest part of rge market of express businesses, SF even has their airlines ,SF has a fleet of 31 cargo aircrafts, of which 13 are owned by its subsidiary SF Airlines.
  SF express has picking up from home services.The couries are uniformed and well trained. Accurate and fast served,I usually call for express services from SF express, because they could send the expressage or your package as soon as possible. Where ever the destination is, the package or expreessage would be there just on the next day of sending date. Usually , one city has several branches of SF express and they located in differant areas of the city. The couriers , they are assigned into different areas also, it depends on how they familiar with the area . The high familiarity has much more advantages for a courier. Couriers have different mission and tasks, not only deliver the expressages but also collecting the expressages every assigned locations. Picking up from home and they also have to contact the potential customers in their assigned areas. The service charge probably around 180 php for the first kilogram of the expresage. Every exceed kilogram would be charged around 70 php. One of my friend is the courier of SF express, he told me that actually in this kind of express company, the more works the couriers do, the more benefits or you can say salary the couriers will receive. Especially during the holiday, because for the couriers, technically they do not have holidays uhnless he does not want to earn more money on that day.

  There are other express companies, Shen Tong, Yuan Tong, Zhong Tong, YUN Da, Tian Tian , etc.They are also just focus on the expressing services business. But the quality of their servicesnot as well as the quality of services of SF express. They are commonused or I can say, they ae cooperate with a lot of online stores because their service charge are much more lower than SF express. The price is only half of SF express' s.
  The usual express companies, the reson why they chare less because it takes them longer time to distribute or deliver the expressages. The couriers of those companies are more than the couriers of SF express but their efficiency are lower. Their responsbility seems like not not important, but for the customers, they should provide more responsbilities.
  Once, I went to the branch of Shen Tong express,I want to send cloths to my friend , I know both me and my friend are not in a hurry so I chose this express for delivering. I filled uo the information and address, the workers their in the counter packaged the cloths without any caution, after that, he just threw the packaged cloths to the pile of packages.  Right, their attitude is just like that, lack of responsbilities. They do not care about what is in the package, unless you are willing to pay for more money to get the insurance of your things. After all ,it cost me four days to let my friend got the cloths. It is still common, the average of the cost days are three days plus. One more thing, is during the Double Eleven online shopping festival(every November 11th of the year) in China. People are crazy into buying things because they would get a huge part of discounts of the goods. But during that time, the express companies experience the hell time. Millions of packages were collected within one or two days and waiting for delivery. They are like testing the capability of the express companies. The result is , it cost around 10 days for digesting the packages. But look at SF express, they always on time , high efficiency, high productivity.
