A GUANGDONG-SHENZHEN EXPRESS COMPANY ISSUED A NOTICE EARLIER TODAY, SAYING THAT SHIPPING CHARGES WILL BE INCREASED FROM SEPTEMBER. According to the key areas of rising prices in the Chaoshan region, including Chaozhou, Jieyang and Shantou, all couriers have increased their price ranges above 0.6 yuan since September.
According to the Securities Times, several courier sites located in Shenzhen have not yet received any notification from the network or head office about the increase in freight rates. In line with the industry's development, the second half of the year is the traditional peak season, and each company adjusts shipping charges accordingly.
In addition, the report quoted an industry insider in Shenzhen Express as saying that the National Post Office will respond positively at a recent meeting to demand that the industry prevent malicious “in-roll” competition.
