Many people say that China Post is one of the few national teams to be defeated by a mixed army, such as the three links and one delivery on the market and SF Express, which both have faster delivery speeds than Postal Service. Is Postal Service really so bad? Should it be eliminated?

China Post is no worse than private express delivery

Regarding the issue of slow speed in China Post, I believe that we cannot compare it solely in terms of speed, but also in terms of price. I have a deep feeling for myself. In the past, I used to send a letter from Yunnan to Zhejiang by post, and the price was less than one yuan. Although it took 15 days, it was ten to twenty times cheaper than SF Express's document delivery. I once used SF Express to send graduation certificates and other documents to a classmate, and the cost was 25 yuan per transaction.

Among the large parcel goods, postal service is also cheaper than the emerging express service. The price of ordinary small postal parcels is about 5 yuan in the same city, 6 yuan in neighboring provinces, 8 yuan in other areas, and 10 yuan in Xizang and Xinjiang; The express package is faster and the shipping cost is slightly higher, but the maximum is no more than 18 yuan, which is still much cheaper than SF Express. If you want to be faster, you can still choose EMS, but the price is also comparable to other courier companies. So, postal services are only a lot more than private express delivery.

For example, express delivery services for daily necessities in universities are generally willing to choose postal services. It doesn't matter if the speed is slower, as long as the goods are shipped in advance. For these large luggage, cheap shipping costs are the real way to meet market demand.

From the evaluation of the majority of consumers, the satisfaction of Postal EMS in 2021 even entered the ranks of 80 points, which can be compared to SF Express JD, and can be considered as adapting to the new era of express delivery needs.

Exclusive Services of China Post

In addition to providing services that other courier companies have, China Post also has services that other companies cannot complete. For example, we all know that the express services in Xizang and Inner Mongolia are not delivered to these places by ordinary express companies, but China Post does not refuse any offers.

Private enterprises shake their heads at a glance at the shipping address, but China Post needs to deliver even if it loses money. This is the mission of China Post and the difference between China Post and other express delivery companies. It conveys family letters to countless soldiers guarding the border and their families behind them, and keeps secrets for countless commercial and administrative documents and letters

Even if the recipient's address is unknown, information is asymmetric, and there is only one name, the postmen will still inquire from multiple parties and make several rounds to deliver the package to the other party.

Once upon a time, universities required students to send their college transcripts home. One student deliberately wrote the address as one they had moved away more than 10 years ago in order to prevent their four failing grades from being delivered. However, the postman found the primary school classmate's home related to this classmate based on this address and the sender's name, and also found his parents' professional information through this classmate. In short, one operation still ensures the safe entry of the transcript.

In addition, China Post does not entirely rely on dedication to work for a living. Their main business is government documents, admission letters, and embassy business.

Especially the government's business is very large, with government agencies covering over 600 cities, over 3000 counties, almost 30000 towns and streets, and countless villages in China. And the communication, official documents, legal documents, government notices, material transportation, and so on between this massive organization all need to be sent by postal service! For example, the college entrance examination papers, admission notices, compulsory education textbooks that students need to use, and so on.

In the Fortune 500 list, postal services from various countries such as China, the United States, France, and Germany often make it to the list. In the 2022 list released by Fortune magazine, China Post ranked 81st, ranking first among all postal enterprises on the list.

China Post is not only providing express delivery services, but also includes China Post Savings Bank, EMS Express Logistics, China Post Insurance, China Post Securities, China Post Fund, and China Post Wealth Management. So, China Post is not what people call a "losing money goods", but rather can shoulder the mission of serving agriculture, rural areas, and farmers through business revenue.

The so-called other express delivery companies online that are more powerful than China Post are obviously too superficial. To put it bluntly, if China Post approves and distributes some of their business to private enterprises, it is also a source of our confidence in Chinese state-owned enterprises.
