1. YTO responds to the logistics fraud scandal and calls it a work by individual franchisees
Recently, CCTV reported that many well-known express companies collectively made fakes in overseas shopping logistics, which surprised netizens who liked "overseas shopping". It is reported that the collection points of some express delivery companies openly provide "off-site online" and "off-country online" services, helping domestic manufacturers to fabricate delivery information from Hong Kong, the United States and other places, change domestic waybill numbers into overseas waybill numbers, and then use the codes of overseas logistics outlets to log in to the logistics scanning equipment to cover up the real delivery location; even create overseas goods logistics inquiry websites out of thin air, allowing consumers to view "real-time overseas transportation update information" that does not exist at any time.
YTO Express said: Relevant reports have been noticed. After investigation, there are only individual internal franchisees and outlets in the above situation, and the company has taken corresponding punishment measures against individual internal franchisees and outlets. The company will strive to improve its operational management level, continue to supervise and strictly control the authenticity of express delivery information, protect consumer rights, and provide customers with safe, efficient and convenient express delivery services.
