Some citizens also believe that we need to discuss things and understand each other when encountering special circumstances.

However, the courier said that he also had his own difficulties. For example, because the customer's phone could not be reached, he had no choice but to leave the express at the post station.

Ms. Zhang expressed her support for the implementation of the new regulations, "I think express delivery should be delivered to your door, but when there is no one at home, I have no objection to leaving the express delivery at the post station. The point is that it is not okay to leave the express delivery at the post station without authorization and without consent.

People are not at home during working hours, so they have to leave the express packages at the post station. I want to pay for it." He said that while implementing the new regulations, he hopes that outlets will allocate workload reasonably, otherwise the pressure on couriers will be very great.

On the one hand, customers are not answering the phone, and on the other hand, they are warned of fines. If we continue to complete the previous workload, "we can't bear it."

　　Xiao Wang, a courier in Shanghai, said that most of the areas he is responsible for are old communities, and many of them have to climb stairs. If every order is required to be delivered to the door, he hopes that he can also be given corresponding and reasonable remuneration.

In actual operation, it may affect the delivery speed and increase operating costs.

　　The person in charge of the express delivery site said that the site now requires couriers to contact customers by phone before delivering goods.

Some consumers feel that their rights and interests have been improved and will ask couriers to deliver all express items to their doorsteps. "There are many residential areas on the 6th and 7th floors in our delivery area. We have to climb the stairs. Large items can be left at the post station." , now all require door-to-door delivery, which will inevitably affect the total delivery volume in a day." The person in charge of the above-mentioned express delivery site bluntly said that for couriers, the delivery volume has become smaller, which directly affects their income.

And if the express delivery company increases the delivery price of each ticket, it will increase the company's costs, and the freight for customers may increase.

　　In addition, some people in the industry suggest that consumers' choices should be completed on the front end. When placing an order, the express delivery will have an estimated delivery time, and consumers can choose whether to have it delivered to their door or leave it at the post station.
