With the development of the epidemic prevention and control situation in China, how will the express delivery industry resume work? How to ensure cross-border shopping? When does the day of "buy" go? On the afternoon of the 9th, the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference to respond to the postal express delivery service epidemic prevention and control and resume work and production.
What is the progress of the resumption of the express delivery industry? 3 million express brothers: over 160 million express mails processed daily
"At present, the number of reworkers in the postal courier industry is nearly 3 million, and the rework rate has reached 92.5%. The daily mail shipments are stable at more than 160 million, and the recovery rate is more than 80%. The country has successfully completed the first two stages of the staged goals." Hou Yanbo, Deputy Director of the Post Office's Market Supervision Department, brought good news.
Nearly 3 million courier, it is precisely with them during the Spring Festival that we can ensure that our daily lives are not affected more.
"Delivering the shipment safely and quickly to customers, let us run more and let customers go less." Said Li Jie, a courier at Zhongchang Express Beijing Changwa Road outlet, who has been express delivery for 11 years.
Hou Yanbo said that in the whole industry to resume production and resume work, especially the courier is very difficult, they can go out alone, can reduce the number of people going out, and effectively serve the epidemic prevention and control work.
It is understood that, under the premise of fully implementing the relevant requirements for the prevention and control of the central epidemic, the State Post Bureau has started the post-courier industry's resumption and production in an orderly manner since February 7. The goal is to reach the middle of March. Production capacity has basically returned to normal.
Statistics show that as of March 8, the industry delivered 173 million pieces of epidemic prevention and control materials, accumulatively 82,400 tons, shipped 24,000 vehicles, and delivered 350 freight trains.
In the face of this established goal, Hou Yanbo said that the industry will continue to work hard to open up blind spots and blind spots, make up for shortcomings, solve four difficulties, and complete the task of resuming production and reaching production as soon as possible.
"While promoting various tasks in a stable and orderly manner, there are still four difficulties that need to be resolved with all parties." Hou Yanbo said that one is to solve the problem of imbalanced network restoration; the other is to solve the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. The problem of linkage; the third is to focus on the stable operation of franchised enterprises, especially the small and micro enterprises' terminal outlets; the fourth is to strengthen various measures to prevent and control the epidemic, strictly prevent the emergence of concentrated infection of personnel, and adhere to the bottom line of safety.
How to ensure cross-border shopping? Transit terminals, additional cargo charter flights to maximize the smoothness of the international delivery network
Some time ago, due to the impact of the epidemic and the reduction of international air routes, some countries and regions have adopted some control measures for international mail shipments to China, which has affected cross-border shopping to a certain extent.
Regarding this issue, Hou Yanbo said that at present, the development of the epidemic is becoming internationalized and continuously complicated. In order to ensure that the international delivery network is not interrupted, the State Post Office effectively protects the international delivery network by adopting routing adjustments and setting up transit terminals. Effective operation.
At present, due to the differences between emergency measures and the original mechanism, parcels sent to China from some countries and regions cannot be guaranteed in terms of time.
How to solve this dilemma to meet the needs of different groups of people. Hou Yanbo said that at present, the State Post Office has been actively coordinating with relevant foreign postal administrations and international organizations such as the UPU and the Asia-Pacific Postal Union in cooperation with foreign affairs, civil aviation and other departments. To maintain the smooth flow of the international delivery network. At present, some countries have lifted restrictions on mail delivery in China. In the next step, the State Post Office will further communicate with relevant departments and countries and regions, and make every effort to promote the gradual recovery of cross-border delivery services.
When does the day of "buy" go? The postal delivery industry already has the foundation
Under the epidemic, online shopping has become a must-have skill for "home". But many people also found that the delivery time has slowed down. When will the normal delivery order be restored?
In this regard, Han Ruilin, secretary general of the China Express Association, explained that in addition to the common problems encountered in many industries to resume work and resume production, such as shortage of personnel and preventive control materials, the reasons affecting the delivery efficiency and customer experience include epidemic control The impact of the measures is that some distribution centers, courier stations, and terminal delivery facilities have not resumed normal operations.
Hou Yanbo said that due to the slow resumption of production and resumption of production by small and medium-sized enterprises in the upstream e-commerce industry, it cannot be fully restored to normal levels in the short term. But spring has come, and I believe that the day for everyone to "buy" is coming soon.
According to reports, the State Post Bureau has strengthened coordination and communication with the commerce department. Through big data analysis, it has done work in the areas of business volume forecasting, peak delivery, steady flow measures, and support policies for end-user companies. At present, the capacity of the postal express industry has the foundation to achieve production, and the coordination mechanism of express delivery and e-commerce has been gradually improved.
According to incomplete statistics, Tianjin, Heilongjiang, Hunan and other 16 provinces explicitly require the provision of convenient conditions for courier delivery in the community. Many local governments and relevant departments have created conditions for postal courier workers to return to work and return to work, such as providing protection for epidemic prevention materials such as masks, or organizing "point-to-point" chartered cars.
Hou Yanbo said that in the next step, the State Post Office and the commerce department will further strengthen the coordination and guidance of express delivery companies and e-commerce platforms, promote the upstream businesses of e-commerce to resume work and resume production, restore production capacity as soon as possible through collaborative development, and protect the daily production On the basis of this, contribute to the strength of the industry for stable growth and promotion of consumption.
