Deep dives
New Regulation on Parcel Deliveries in China
The Ministry of Transport in China has implemented a new regulation to address the challenges faced in the Express delivery industry. This regulation prohibits Express and delivery businesses from confirming delivery receipts without user consent and mandates not placing deliveries in lockers without permission. Penalties for violations range from 10,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan, emphasizing consumer protection and preventing mishandling of packages.
Efficiency and Challenges in the Delivery Industry
The rapid growth of China's Express delivery business, with over 130 billion pieces delivered, poses challenges for delivery personnel in meeting customer delivery preferences. Consumers in urban areas expect door-to-door delivery, while remote areas may face different demands. Language barriers and translations further complicate delivery accuracy, especially for foreigners unfamiliar with Chinese addresses.
