1. Docking express volume. For beginners who want to open a courier station, I suggest that they contact the courier company or the courier to connect the delivery volume, and then continue to join the operation. I have suffered this loss myself. The reason is that express stations rely on collecting and delivering express goods on behalf of others, and it is the profit model of express stations to obtain service fees (profits) from them. In other words, the amount of express delivery is related to the amount of money in the post station.
2. Store location is very important. Why should we consider the investment cost when opening a courier station? Rent accounts for a large part of the expenditure. In general, the rent of the store is relatively expensive in the places where the flow of people is concentrated in the community. It is recommended to find a residential house on the first floor in the community. The rent is cheap, but it is easy to be occupied by the property. It is recommended to maintain good property relations.
3. Join the post station brand. It is important to choose a good post station brand. This involves the franchise fee. There are several forms of express post station: express company direct store, third-party collection, express cabinet or storage guard, etc. Express outlets have strict franchise mechanism, strict service specifications, and not cheap franchise fees. The advantage is that they do not worry about the volume of express delivery. Third party collection is common in the market, such as Xiaobing Post Station, which is similar to this kind of low threshold for joining, low cost for joining, and lax assessment. The disadvantage is that you need to connect the delivery volume yourself. In fact, it is the best to connect with the delivery volume. After all, the resources are in your own hands and you are not afraid of being constrained by the delivery company.
4. Store decoration. In fact, the cost of decoration investment is not too high, so there is no need to have decoration design requirements like brand stores. It cost 1000~2000 yuan to complete.
5. Purchase equipment. There are some necessary items in the express station: shelves, computers, tables and chairs, mobile phones, code scanning guns, etc. It costs about 4000~5000 yuan to purchase online. In stores with high brand awareness, these facilities are purchased by brand companies and charged uniformly, which will be more expensive.
