　　1. Shentong announced that the double 12 large express delivery will not be limited to the weight and increase the transfer fee

　　On December 10, Shentong Express recently released the charging standards for large goods, announcing that during the "Double 12" period, the distribution fee for large goods above 3 kilograms (excluding) is increased by 0.1 yuan/kg on the original basis (excluding the express parcels in the respective regions of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, Sichuan, Chongqing, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and the express parcels in various provinces).

　　Shentong has no limit on the weight of large express delivery this time, but the volume required that the length of one side should not exceed 1.5 meters, the length of three side should not exceed 2 meters, and the volume of a single piece should not exceed 0.2 cubic meters. At the same time, the transfer fees in some regions have been raised for large express delivery. For express delivery with a total of 10 kg (inclusive), the transfer fee will be increased by 0.2 yuan/kg based on October's transfer fee. Among them, the express transfer fees issued by outlets in Northeast, Northwest, Southwest, Inner Mongolia and Hainan will not be increased.

　　Industry experts said that Shentong no longer restricts large parcels and raises fees during the "Double 12" period. This move is not only to improve business level and stabilize the end, but more importantly, it is to announce to the public that it will not give up the "big parcel" market. After all, in the context of the suspension of express delivery business, Shentong needs more measures to win the large parcel market. (Europe)
