U.S. logistics professionals to engage in monopoly determines the choice of electricity supplier

　　Domestic self logistics , and mocked the U.S. electricity supplier delivery speed of a snail . However pursuit electricity suppliers are required to arrive one day delivery services? Acceleration can cause increased costs amortized in the future ? Contrast, relatively mature U.S. electricity supplier , all current electricity supplier to cooperate with third-party courier companies have maintained a "slow" Logistics . Why is this ?
　　American day to $ 20 excise tax warehouse layout decisions
　　Not to say that the United States is no electricity supplier of the service day , a day to reach the Amazon service needs to pay an additional $ 3.99 , Amazon Prime membership is free to enjoy the service for two days served ( $ 79 per year membership fee ) . While other electricity suppliers are also basic consumption of more than $ 25-75 free shipping , but the general standard is 5-7 days to delivery , for a day or two you need to pay for shipping ranging from $ 3.99-7.99 , many U.S. website will also provide the date of service , basically be about $ 20 shipping .
　　Improve the timeliness of delivery depends on the hardware three , warehouse distribution and abundance , road transportation , courier company quality. Road Transport United States was dominant , and in the Amazon, the main level of service delivery partner UPS is also a global leader . The problem lies in the distribution and abundance of the warehouse .
　　United States compared to China is really sparsely populated, road transport network accessible, relatively easy site warehouse investment is more reasonable. The problem is different in each state 's tax rate , tax exemptions and tax difference maximum difference of nearly 10%. Established in the corresponding state warehouse , under a single consumer would buy goods subject to excise tax, which is why several large warehouses before are concentrated in the central United States and tax-free zone.
　　This year , Amazon started uncharacteristically tax initiative in favor of online shopping . Since the tax becoming overwhelming, positive changes its direction also began to force their portfolios to improve the timeliness of delivery . I do not know whether the reference to the competition in China , but the possibility of partner UPS distribution team established its own separate detachment was minimal. E-commerce model has been operating for more than ten years in the Amazon is relatively mature, and continue to drive its current and future development of information technology .
　　Logistics is the core of the algorithm
　　When you create a rookie Ma said : . " This choice is because professional people to do the professional thing , make the industry better development " Amazon specializes in technology and efficient building modernization over the years also makes giant warehouse openers , and all this is dependent on technological innovation . Relying on technology for a more rational and efficient classification and sorting orders . For example, by the middle of the belt weighing instrument for assessing the weight of the package , the weight of the goods through the system on receipt of order information when doing cumulative , consistent weight and measure whether , as projected sorting merchandise is wrong . If the error is large , you will need to manually enter the audit area. The warehouse currently visited the country still needs all the code manually scan confirmed the library .
　　Of course, just an example of that, its how paperless operation, automatic picking calculate the shortest path distance , automatically selects the package size, disorderly orderly distribution among established smart logistics are part of the whole . Not simply rely on a lot of short-term will be able to buy land to build warehouses completed , need to rely on more intelligent accumulation of experience and innovation, and ultimately rely on a series of computer algorithms to achieve. It also has an efficient storage efficiency of the Amazon main reasons why businesses choose the Amazon platform + reasons warehousing logistics services .
　　In the electricity supplier and logistics docking system , which accurately predict the delivery time is also one of the advantages of Amazon . When you place an order , the system will be sent before you will be prompted a few specific day , and is a guaranteed service . If goods are not received within the forecast period will be extended by one month free membership services. China to promote " fast" , can only be part of the first-and second-tier cities in the United States to promote " accurate" , the basic nation can guarantee. When both yet to have both , what better user experience . Personally feel that the "quasi " some more reliable , "fast" but no time node , a mistake will affect the entire brand image . Especially when the holidays, or when a large-scale promotional activities, often on the logistics condemning, nor even less self Jingdong be scolded . It is effective assessment and over-dependence on human sorting bottleneck this missing carrying capacity of the system .
　　U.S. logistics professionals to engage in monopoly determines the choice of electricity supplier
　　Important reason for the domestic B2C businesses and the other is self logistics , cheap third-party logistics service standards to keep up with the requirements , the uneven distribution of individual quality personnel , throwing pieces , throwing pieces of serious, and for fragile or easily damaged goods no distribution guarantee the timeliness of delivery can not be guaranteed. Although SF reliable courier service , but more expensive , businesses can not afford the cost , and therefore are forced to self logistics , hoping thereby reducing distribution costs , build the last mile of their own image. This appeared Jingdong , wind up ( where the customer ) , etc. One shop self distribution team, and then mixed with one of Stone and other logistics companies, in the district in Beijing, can often see more than a dozen distribution companies staff busy .
　　The United States is the distribution of all aspects of the company's electricity supplier , is still operated by a third party professional logistics companies. Such as UPS, Fedex and USPS. American Express industry basically monopolized by more than three , amazon prime account through their own experience , 80% of its orders by UPS delivery, from order to receive orders basically did not see the courier , and the courier on the street to see is the standard dark brown uniforms, drove the same color nowhere UPS delivery truck shuttle in the streets .
　　Domestic self logistics competition also led to labor costs soared. And the hopes of the distribution to distribution costs through self diluted , in the short term it is not reality. Given the high mobility of the courier , and whether change of clothing will improve the quality of service , is open to question . Of course, can be improved through training , but whether those who work needs B2C hands , has yet to be verified. With rising domestic labor costs , logistics must use intelligence greatly improve efficiency , in order to ensure lower costs.

　　In addition to the Amazon prime members enjoy shopping in the Amazon , there is also a Shop runner company , which provides a number of vertical B2C two-day delivery service is also a $ 79 annual fee . Such as GNC, Toys R Us , the new egg net purchase on the merchant long as its co- product , no matter how much money to enjoy two days of the arrival of the service , many such Timberland, Victoria's Secret and other brands official website, you can get Shop runner up two days of service . And it also did not own distribution team, still rely on the UPS distribution.

To retain customers through high-quality experience , Amazon is also one of the reasons people admire .
