Recently, Liu Qiangdong, founder of JD.com, talked about "rural e-commerce" at the Boao Forum. He said, "Walking tractors in rural areas can also be added to the logistics system and can use the existing means of transport in rural areas."
Mr. Liu's comment highlights the state of rural e-commerce, especially in logistics. Compared with cities and towns, rural logistics is difficult, not in terms of technical difficulty or other difficulties, but in the cost is difficult to digest.
In the long run, the problem will be solved. With the development of rural e-commerce, the number of orders in a single village will inevitably rise, and the distribution cost of a single piece will naturally be diluted until it is thin enough to be digested.
But for now, how to reduce the distribution cost as far as possible is the primary problem of developing rural logistics.
From our practical experience of driving the street, in addition to reasonable route planning, the use of village-level service station transit, but also to make good use of the existing logistics system in rural areas.
In fact, there are various logistics channels in rural areas, otherwise how to solve the logistics problems in rural areas now, but these channels are scattered, hidden, not systematic, so there is no regulation to follow to integrate, must be adapted to local conditions, from the specific.
The most popular third-party logistics channel we use now is urban and rural public transport. Every day from the county to each township, there are several shuttle buses, these vehicles are rarely full, there is enough space for the transport of goods, and itself has been used as a way of urban and rural transport, price and handover has been established, is the most ideal ready-made logistics channel.
Urban and rural bus with goods consignment is the biggest advantage of low cost, in our current practice, a big woven bag express, to the township as long as 4 yuan, slightly far to 5 yuan, divided to each piece on 20 cents less than, even lower. Delivery speed is also fast, the first bus in the morning to send out, basically before breakfast can arrive.
The only problem is that urban and rural bus routes are fixed and not particularly flexible, and some off-line points require additional transfers.
There are towns into the city to do business businessmen, is also a good logistics channel.
We have a stationmaster, home has a fruit shop, fruit preservation is very important, so he has to go to the city every day, and the time is very fixed, are early to pick. Upon learning this information, we entrusted him to take his parcel home and compensated him for some of the gas money.
He is also happy to bring some goods, it does not take much effort, not to mention subsidizing the cost of gas, but also to get better people, and is of great benefit to his own business.
There are other ways to bring goods that most people can't even imagine. In addition, we also have a service station, located in a high altitude mountain village, and the station master is disabled, it is not very convenient to move.
How is the express delivered here? Village children, every day to go to school under the mountain, only these children when they go home from school, bring back the mail.
