What should I do if there is too much express delivery during peak hours?
Chen Bin, a courier, told reporters that a new profession appeared this year—deputy dispatcher. “Deputy dispatchers are equivalent to “temporary workers” in our express industry. They go wherever they need someone to deliver express delivery, and they send one. Earn more than us."
Wen Xiaoyan is what Chen Bin referred to as a delegate.
Her husband has been working as a courier in Beijing for 6 years. Every time during peak periods such as "618", "Double 11" and "Double 12", her husband will be overloaded with express delivery.
This year, "Double 11" heard that there were delegates, so she came to Beijing from her hometown in Linfen, Shanxi to help her husband.

Its operator, Ding Ding, 3C area assembly line chief, introduced to reporters: "Scan the product information code with a handheld device, trigger the computer to automatically print the paper sheet, and then put the product into the automatic packing machine to complete the packaging, automatically paste the sheet, and Send the packaged mobile phone shipments to the product box to wait for the next step to be sorted.” Ding Ding said that the automatic packaging machine has a very high working efficiency. It can package 300 products in one hour, which is three times the efficiency of manual packaging.
"This way I won't have to work too long on Double 11."
